Complete the following figure matrix by selecting the right figure from the given options.
Attempted by 384 students.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Choose the image that shows two diagonal lines forming an X.
Reasoning: In every row the third cell isolates the additional strokes that appear in the second cell compared with the first cell.
Top row: The second figure adds a vertical stroke inside the triangle. The third figure shows that added vertical stroke alone (a vertical line with a small mark at the top).
Middle row: The second figure contains additional vertical and horizontal strokes in the square compared with the first figure. The third figure displays those added strokes as a plus sign (vertical and horizontal lines).
Bottom row: The second figure adds two diagonal strokes (an X) compared with the first figure. Therefore the third figure should show those two diagonal strokes alone.
Conclusion: The correct completion is the image that displays the two diagonal lines forming an X, because it matches the isolated added strokes pattern in the third cell of the bottom row.
