Question 39
MediumOriginal questionBoth the arrow and the dot follow their own rule. Pick the box that comes after the fourth.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The arrow turns 135° clockwise each time: down, up-left, right, down-left, so next it points up.
The dot moves 1 place anticlockwise round the box each time (the 4 corners and 4 edge midpoints are the 8 places): from the bottom-right corner it goes to the middle of the right edge.
Figure 4 shows an arrow pointing up, with a dot at the middle of the right edge.
Worth noting
Track one element at a time across all four boxes, and check each option against every rule; each wrong figure here breaks exactly one of them.
