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
- ? : ?
Relation between first and second:
- The white square becomes a
black square — same shape, but
filled in (color changed from white to black).
So, applying the same rule to the triangle:
- White triangle →
Black triangle
Answer: c) ▲ (black triangle) ✔

2)
Sequence:
- First: Rectangle (white)
- Second: Rectangle with bottom half filled (black)
- Third: Circle (white)
- ? : ?
Relation between first and second:
- The rectangle has its
bottom half shaded black.
- So, the transformation is:
"add a black lower half".
Apply this to the circle:
- The circle should have its
bottom half shaded black.
Look at options:
- a) Half-circle shaded on
top →
✘
- b) Half-circle shaded on
bottom →
✔
- c) Half-circle shaded on right →
✘
Answer: b) ✔

3)
Sequence:
- First: Pentagon (outline only)
- Second: Pentagon with
grid pattern inside
- Third: Heart (outline only)
- ? : ?
Relation between first and second:
- The pentagon gains an
internal grid pattern (like a checkerboard or crosshatch).
- So, the transformation is:
"add internal grid pattern".
Apply to heart:
- The heart should have the
same internal grid pattern.
Look at options:
- a) Heart with grid pattern →
✔
- b) Heart with checkered pattern → different style →
✘
- c) Heart with dots → not grid →
✘
Answer: a) ✔

4)
Sequence:
- First: Double arrow pointing
left-right (↔)
- Second: Double arrow pointing
up-down (↕)
- Third: Horizontal rectangle (—)
- ? : ?
Relation between first and second:
- The direction changes from
horizontal to
vertical.
- So, the transformation is:
rotate 90° clockwise (or change orientation from horizontal to vertical).
Apply to the rectangle:
- A horizontal rectangle rotated 90° becomes a
vertical rectangle.
Options:
- a) Filled black rectangle (horizontal) → wrong orientation →
✘
- b) Downward arrow → not a rectangle →
✘
- c) Vertical rectangle (|) →
✔
Answer: c) ✔

5)
Sequence:
- First: Pentagon with
inner smaller pentagon (concentric)
- Second: Pentagon with
thick black border, no inner shape
- Third: Hexagon with
inner smaller hexagon
- ? : ?
Relation between first and second:
- From a
double outline (concentric) to a
single thick black border.
- So, the transformation is:
"replace inner concentric shape with a bold outer border".
Apply to the hexagon:
- The hexagon with inner small hexagon → should become a
hexagon with thick black border, no inner shape.
Options:
- a) Hexagon with
thick black border →
✔
- b) Hexagon with
thick border and filled center → filled → not matching →
✘
- c) Hexagon with
small inner hexagon → still has inner shape →
✘
Answer: a) ✔
