Identify the figure that completes the pattern.

     (X)                 (1)             (2)              (3)             (4)

From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.

As analysed above, the number on the face opposite 5 is 3. In position X, since 5 lies on the top, therefore 3 must lie at the bottom face.

In all other figures, as we move from the innermost to the outermost element, the numbers of sides of the elements either increase or decrease in a sequence.

All others are punctuation marks.

Figure (1) and fig. (3) can be rotated into each other and fig. (4) and fig. (5) can be rotated into each other.

The third figure in each row comprises of the parts common to the first two figures.

The elements interchange positions in the orders and alternately.
