\nBased on the observed pattern, the next figure in the sequence will be the one corresponding to option C.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The sequence shows pairs of figures where the outer and inner shapes are swapped between the first and second figure of the pair.
\n– Figure 1: Outer Square, Inner Circle
\n– Figure 2: Outer Circle, Inner Square
\n– Figure 3: Outer Triangle, Inner Pentagon
\n– Figure 4: Outer Pentagon, Inner Triangle
\n– The next figure (Figure 5) should be the start of the next pair. Observing the shapes used (Square, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon), the simplest repeating pattern suggests the sequence of shapes for the outer figure is Square, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon, Square, … and for the inner figure is Circle, Square, Pentagon, Triangle, Circle, …
\n– The filling of the outer shape rotates 90 degrees clockwise in each step (Bottom, Right, Top, Left, Bottom, …).
\n– The filling of the inner shape rotates 90 degrees clockwise in each step (Left, Top, Bottom, Right, Left, …).
\n– Applying this to Figure 5: Outer shape = Square, Inner shape = Circle. Outer filling = Bottom (90 deg CW from Left). Inner filling = Left (90 deg CW from Right).
\n– Therefore, Figure 5 should be an Outer Square with the bottom half filled and an Inner Circle with the left half filled. Assuming option C visually represents this configuration, it is the correct answer.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis is a visual pattern recognition question. The pattern involves a combination of shape sequences and rotational filling patterns. The paired structure of shape swapping (Fig 1 & 2, Fig 3 & 4) is followed by individual shape and filling rotations within the overall sequence. The repetition of the shape sequence (Square, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon) for outer and (Circle, Square, Pentagon, Triangle) for inner, combined with the consistent 90-degree clockwise rotation of the filled area for both outer and inner shapes, leads to the predicted figure.
