हर step में polygon की एक side बढ़ती है: triangle (3), square (4), pentagon (5), hexagon (6), इसलिए अगला polygon 7 sides का होगा। arrows की संख्या हमेशा sides से एक कम होती है: 2, 3, 4, 5, इसलिए अगली figure में 6 arrows होंगे।
arrows बारी-बारी से बाहर की ओर (triangle, pentagon) और अंदर की ओर (square, hexagon) होते हैं। इसलिए अगली figure में 7 sides का polygon होगा और 6 arrows बाहर की ओर होंगे।
✓
उत्तर (c) है।
The polygon gains one side each step: triangle (3), square (4), pentagon (5), hexagon (6), so the next polygon has 7 sides. The number of arrows is always one less than the number of sides: 2, 3, 4, 5, so the next figure has 6 arrows.
The arrows alternate between pointing outward (triangle, pentagon) and pointing inward (square, hexagon). The next figure must therefore have a 7-sided polygon with 6 arrows pointing outward.
✓
The answer is (c).
