In each of the following questions, find out which of the answer figures (1),…

This is a 'non-common segments' figure-matrix series: in every row, the third figure is built only from the line segments that are unique to (not shared by) the first and second figures of that row — any segment common to both figures cancels out, while the black dot stays fixed in every cell.

1. Row 1: the first figure has only an upward segment; the second figure has a leftward and a rightward segment. No segment is shared, so all three segments carry forward — the third figure of the row shows upward, leftward and rightward segments together, confirming the rule.

2. Row 2: the first figure has an upward and a downward segment; the second figure has a rightward and a downward segment. The downward segment is common to both, so it cancels; only the upward and rightward segments remain — exactly what the third figure of that row shows.

3. Row 3: the first figure has only an upward segment; the second figure has only a rightward segment. Since the two share no common segment, both carry forward unchanged, so the missing figure must show an upward stroke above the dot together with a rightward stroke beside it — nothing else.

Checking the four alternatives against this upward-plus-rightward combination: the figure that shows exactly an upward stroke and a rightward stroke, with no leftward or downward stroke added, is the only one that matches; the others either drop the upward stroke or add a leftward and/or downward stroke that is absent from both figures of row 3.

Hence, the figure showing only the upward and rightward segments completes the matrix.
