Choose the figure which is different from rest . (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

In figure-classification puzzles built from directional elements (here, arrows), four of the five figures usually obey one shared structural rule -- such as a fixed ratio of elements pointing one way versus the other -- while a single outlier figure breaks that rule. Spotting the odd figure means comparing the internal pattern of every figure shown, not just its overall look. Each figure here contains arrows formed from broken (stepped) lines, each pointing either left or right. Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5 all keep the same ratio -- exactly one arrow points left and the remaining arrows point right in each of them. Figure 1 alone reverses that ratio: two arrows point left and only one points right, breaking the pattern that every other figure -- including Figure 5, which is not offered as an answer choice here -- follows. Rechecking each figure confirms Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5 all preserve the common left-to-right arrow ratio, while Figure 1 alone reverses it -- confirming Figure 1 as the figure that is different from the rest.
