Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

In each step, one dot is lost while another dot is replaced by a cross.

In each step, the symbols move in the sequence and the symbol that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new one.

All the elements move one space ACW (each space is equal to a quadrant of the circle) and get inverted in each step.

In each step, the elements move in the order

All the elements together move one space to the right in each step and once they reach the rightmost position, then in the next step, they move to the leftmost position. Also, in the first step, the first (uppermost) and the third elements interchange positions; in the second step, the second and the fourth elements interchange positions and in the third step, none of the elements interchange positions. These three steps are repeated to continue the series.

In one step, the two elements interchange positions and the smaller element gets enlarged while the larger element gets reduced in size. In the next step, the smaller element is replaced by a new small element and the larger element is replaced by a new large element.

The pins, equal in number to the number of sides in the main figure are attached to the midpoint of a side of the main figure in case of figures (2), (3), (4) and (5). In fig. (1), these pins are attached to a vertex of the main figure.

In all other figures, the two line segments are parallel to each other.

In all other figures, the arrow and the V sign lie towards the black end of the main figure.

In all other figures, there are two small line segments towards the pin and three small line segments towards the arrow.
