Question

Max takes a paper and draws some horizontal and vertical lines. Later, she starts coloring the squares black but realises that a pattern has been formed like the one below.
Help her complete the pattern by finding what will come in place of '?'.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Let us consider the pattern on the first half of the paper.
The black squares form a V, and there is one square each on the left and right ends.

Now, let us look at the incomplete pattern on the other half of the paper.
Comparing the two, we can say that the pattern on the other half is the inverse of the pattern on the first half.

Thus, the other half will have black squares in an inverted V form, and one square each on the top-left and top-right.

The correct figure that can complete the pattern is:

The complete pattern will look like the one below.
