Let's solve each of the
picture analogy problems step by step. The goal is to understand the relationship between the first two figures and apply that same relationship to the third figure to find the correct answer.

1)
Sequence:
- First: White square → Second: Black square
- Third: White triangle → ?
Observation:
The white square becomes a black square — so the
color changes from white to black.
So, the white triangle should become a
black triangle.
✔ Answer: c) ▲ (black triangle)
---
2)
Sequence:
- First: White rectangle → Second: Rectangle with bottom half shaded
- Third: White circle → ?
Observation:
The rectangle has its
bottom half filled in black. So the transformation is:
add a black bottom half.
Apply this to the circle: the
bottom half should be shaded black.
✔ Answer: b) Circle with bottom half shaded
> Note: Option a has top half shaded, option b has bottom half shaded, option c has right half shaded. Only b matches.

3)
Sequence:
- First: White pentagon → Second: Pentagon with grid pattern (crosshatch inside)
- Third: White heart → ?
Observation:
The pentagon gains an
internal grid pattern (like a checkerboard or crosshatch). This is a
filling pattern added to the shape.
So, the heart should also get the
same internal grid pattern.
✔ Answer: a) Heart with grid pattern
> Option b has a checkered pattern (dots), c has dots (not grid). Only a matches the style of the second figure.

4)
Sequence:
- First: Double arrow pointing left-right (↔) → Second: Double arrow pointing up-down (↕)
- Third: Horizontal rectangle → ?
Observation:
The arrows have
rotated 90 degrees clockwise — from horizontal to vertical.
So, the horizontal rectangle should also rotate
90 degrees clockwise → becomes a
vertical rectangle.
✔ Answer: c) Vertical rectangle
> Note: Option a is a black-filled rectangle, but no color change occurred in the arrow analogy. So we assume only rotation. Option b is a down arrow, which doesn't match the shape. So c is correct.

5)
Sequence:
- First: White pentagon with inner outline (concentric pentagon) → Second: Black pentagon with inner outline (but solid black fill)
- Third: White hexagon with inner outline → ?
Observation:
The first pentagon has a
white outer ring and inner outline. The second is a
solid black pentagon, but still with the inner outline (so it's like a black version).
Wait — actually:
- First: Hollow pentagon (outline only), with smaller concentric pentagon inside.
- Second: Same shape, but
filled black (the entire shape is black, including the inner area).
So the transformation is:
from hollow to solid black fill.
Apply to the hexagon: the hollow hexagon should become a
solid black hexagon.
✔ Answer: b) Solid black hexagon
> Option a has a white center (not filled), c has a black center but white border — only b is fully black.

✔ Final Answers:
1)
c
2)
b
3)
a
4)
c
5)
b
