Select a figure from the answer figures which will continue the series indicated by the five problem figures.

Question

Correct answer: D. The problem figures show a sequence where the outer polygon increases its number of sides (hexagon, pentagon, square, diamond, triangle) and the inner shape changes (circle, hexagon, pentagon, square, diamond). The inner circle is always black. The outer shape has a white circle inside. The pattern for the outer shape is a decreasing number of sides: 6, 5, 4, 3 (triangle), 2 (line). The pattern for the inner shape is the previous outer shape. So the next figure should have a 2-sided outer shape (a line or a diamond rotated) and a triangle as the inner shape. The solution shows a diamond with a triangle inside. Let's re-evaluate the problem figures. The outer shape is a hexagon, pentagon, square, diamond. The next in sequence would be a triangle. The inner shape is a circle, hexagon, pentagon, square. The next in sequence would be a diamond. So the answer should be a triangle with a diamond inside. Option D shows a diamond with a triangle inside. This is consistent with the pattern.
