Question

Identify and correct the incorrect shapes in the pattern shown below.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\text{Detailed step-by-step solution:}$
In this pattern, we can see that the squares are divided in a particular order.

As we move from left to right, the number of divisions in the squares is increasing.

The first square is a whole. The second square is divided into two parts, and the third is divided into 3 parts. But instead of the fourth, the fifth is divided into four parts and the fourth is divided into 8 parts. The last or the sixth one is divided into 6 parts.

So, we can say that the fourth and the fifth shapes are incorrect.
The fourth shape should be divided into 4 parts and the fifth shape should be divided into 5 parts.
Therefore, the correct complete pattern will be as shown below.


Hence, Option C is correct.
