In each of the following questions, select a figure from amongst the four alternatives, which when placed in the blank space of fig. (X) would complete the pattern.
🔍 Analyze the Pattern
The missing part is the lower-right quadrant of the large square.
Observe the lines entering the blank region:
- A diagonal line enters from the centre and must continue towards the lower-right corner.
- A slanting line enters from the upper boundary of the missing quadrant.
- These lines must meet at exactly the same points as the adjoining quadrants.
Now compare the options carefully.
- Fig. (1) does not align the upper junction correctly.
- Fig. (2) shifts the top V-shaped meeting point slightly to the left.
- Fig. (3) does not continue the incoming lines accurately.
- Fig. (4) perfectly matches all boundary points and completes the figure without any break.
Therefore, the missing quadrant is represented by Fig. (4).
Correct Answer: (D)

In each of the following questions, select a figure from amongst the four alternatives, which when placed in the blank space of fig. (X) would complete the pattern.
🔍 Analyze the Pattern
The missing part is the upper-right quadrant of the figure.
Step 1: Match the Central Diagonal
A diagonal line starts from the central meeting point and continues towards the upper-right corner. The missing piece must continue this line exactly.
Step 2: Match the Zig-Zag Shape
The irregular zig-zag figure entering from the left boundary must continue smoothly into the blank region.
Step 3: Match the Right Border
The vertical strip near the right border must align perfectly with the strip visible in the lower-right quadrant.
Step 4: Check the Small Corner Section
The small triangular section near the lower-left corner of the missing quadrant must align exactly with the central junction.
Among all the options:
- Fig.1 (1) misplaces the diagonal.
- Fig. (2) does not align the lower-left section correctly.
- Fig. (4) introduces extra lines that do not continue from the main figure.
- Fig. (3) matches every incoming line and boundary perfectly.
Clearly fig. (3) when placed in the blank in fig. (X) will complete the pattern, as shown below :
Correct Answer: (C)
⚡ Quick Exam Shortcut
For figure completion questions:
- Match the central junction first.
- Follow all lines entering the blank space.
- Check border alignment.

Only Fig. (3) satisfies all these conditions.
Shortcut Answer: Exact continuation of all boundary lines → Option (C).
In each of the following questions, select a figure from amongst the four alternatives, which when placed in the blank space of fig. (X) would complete the pattern.
🔍 Analyze the Pattern
The missing portion is the lower-right quadrant of the figure.
Step 1: Follow the Central Circle
The circle in the centre extends into the missing quadrant. Therefore, one arc must begin from the middle of the left boundary of the missing square.
Step 2: Follow the Right-Side Curve
The curve visible in the upper-right quadrant continues downward across the right side of the figure. The missing piece must contain the continuation of this curve.
Step 3: Match Boundary Contact Points
The important point is where the arcs touch the edges of the missing square.
- The central circular arc enters from the left side.
- The outer curve continues along the right side.
- Both arcs must meet the boundaries at exactly the same locations as the surrounding figure.
Among the answer figures:
- Fig. (2) places the upper arc at the wrong boundary position.
- Fig. (3) reverses the curve arrangement.
- Fig. (4) introduces a different curved pattern.
- Fig. (1) correctly continues both incoming curves and matches all boundary points.
Clearly fig. (1) when placed in the blank in fig. (X) will complete the pattern, as shown below :
Correct Answer: (A)
⚡ Quick Exam Shortcut
Ignore the overall design and focus on the curve endpoints.
- Find where each arc enters the blank space.
- Match the exact boundary positions.
- Reject options with shifted arc locations.
Only Fig. (1) matches both incoming curves perfectly.

The relationship is based on mirror symmetry, not rotation.
In each row:
- The right figure is the mirror image of the left figure.
- The circle and square exchange positions.
- The bent arm reverses direction.
Applying the same rule to the second row, the missing figure must be the mirror image of the bottom-left figure.
Only Fig. (2) satisfies this condition.

Check whether the figures are rotating or mirroring.
Here, the top row clearly shows a left-right mirror image.
Apply the same mirror rule to the bottom row.

In each of the following questions, select a figure from amongst the four alternatives, which when placed in the blank space of fig. (X) would complete the pattern.
🔍 Analyze the Pattern
Observe the three visible quadrants carefully.
- The top-left quadrant contains a vertical strip and a diagonal corner cut.
- The top-right quadrant is obtained by rotating the pattern around the centre.
- The bottom-left quadrant continues the same rotational arrangement.
The missing bottom-right quadrant must therefore complete the rotational sequence.
Boundary Matching
The missing piece must:
- Continue the vertical line coming from the top boundary.
- Continue the horizontal line entering from the left boundary.
- Match the diagonal line touching the centre.
Among the options:
- Fig. (2) introduces an unnecessary horizontal division.
- Fig. (3) misaligns the diagonal with the centre.
- Fig. (4) places the diagonal cuts in incorrect positions.
- Fig. (1) matches all boundary lines and completes the rotational pattern perfectly.
Correct Answer: (A)
