The figures in Group1 contain a black diamond plus a black curved shape.
The figures in Group 2 contain a black square plus two other white shapes. Option D belongs in neither group.

The pictures are seemingly random, however they all contain an even number of shapes; 40 dots, 2 squares, 6 circles, 4 squares. Therefore, the answer must be A as it is the only one with an even number of shapes, 6 lines.

Option D is the odd shape out as it is not a rotation, of the others.

Figure D is the odd one out. The other figures all contain five rotations of the same shape.

Option E is the odd shape out as it is a reflection, not a rotation, of the others.

Option D is the odd one out. In the other figures there is one more black square than there are white squares.

Option C completes the series. The black squares in columns one and two are combined in column three.

’U’ shape rotates by 45 degrees with each turn. Circle remains in same position of the ’U’ shape with each turn. Triangle appears (middle section of ‘U’ shape) on every alternate turn (i.e. 1st frame, 3rd frame, 5th frame).

Option D completes the series. If a square is black in both row one and in row two then a black square appears in row three.

Option A is the odd one out. In the other figures the arrow points from a black to a white square.

A square is added each time and the colour of the squares is inverted each time. Option A is correct.

The logic: The inner shape in one frame becomes the middle shape in the next frame; the central form becomes the outer shape in the next frame, and the external form becomes the inner shape two frames later.

Thus, the outer shape in the missing frame should be a square (just like the middle shape in the 5th frame), the central form should be a triangle (like the inner shape in the 5th frame), and the internal structure should be a diamond (like the outer shape in the 4th frame).

The figure is rotated through 90 degrees clockwise. Option C is correct.

Option A completes the series. Each figure in column three is a product of the figures in the preceding two columns, with the added rule that if the same shape appears in both columns then it does not appear in the third column.

The top halves of the dominoes repeat the sequence 5, 3, 1. The bottom halves repeat the sequence 2, 4, 6. Alternate dominoes are then inverted. Option C completes this sequence.

Option B is the odd one out. It is the only figure where the black and white square are not in opposite corners.

The four squares which make up each corner block all rotations. Option A completes the grid.

The first and third columns are mirror images of each other, as are the second and fourth columns. Option B completes the grid.

Option E is the odd one out. It is the only figure where there is a small black square adjacent to the large black square.

Rectangle is shaded for one turn, then unshaded for two turns. Circle moves around corners of frame in clockwise direction with each turn. Arrow appears on the left of the rectangle for two turns, then on the right of the rectangle for two turns.

There are three shapes in the figure. The two outer shapes are moved into the centre to cover the shape already there. Option C is correct.

Option D completes the series. An extra white square is added for each column and an extra black square is added for each row.

Shapes are either curved or angular. The figures in Group1 black shapes at opposite corners. The figures in Group2 contain black shapes arranged vertically. Option C belongs in neither group.

The outer circle is turning in an anti-clockwise direction and the inner circle is rotating 90 degrees in a clockwise direction.

The square in the top left corner moves to the centre. Any horizontal lines are duplicated and rotated through 90 degrees. Option C is correct.

The centre circle is alternating between clear and solid. An extra line is added every second iteration. Option C is correct.

The top halves of the dominoes are in descending sequence 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blank. The bottom halves follow the descending sequence 2, 2, 1, 1, Blank, Blank, Six. Alternate dominoes are then inverted. Option B completes this sequence.

Option D is the only figure which does not contain only two black shapes.

The figure is rotated through 90 degrees and the black and white squares are enlarged and brought into the centre. Option B is correct.

The first pattern that you can identify is the pentagon in the bottom corner is alternately flipping vertically, ruling out C and D. The only difference between A and B is the size of the square, in order to maintain a sequential pattern B must be correct, the square grows in size then shrinks as it progresses along the sequence.

Diagonal line changes direction from top right corner to bottom left corner, then from top left corner to bottom right corner with each turn. Square moves around corner of the frame in a clockwise direction with each turn. Circle appears on diagonal line on every second turn.

The figures in Group1 contain two shapes. The figures in Group 2 contain three shapes. Option B belongs in neither group.

Doughnut shape appears on every alternate turn, in the same position (bottom right circle quadrant). Diagonal line appears on every alternate turn, in the same position (bottom left circle quadrant). Square moves in a clockwise direction around circle quadrants with each turn.

The figures in Group1 contain a black diamond plus 3 white shapes.
The figures in Group 2 contain a white square plus 3 black shapes. Option C belongs in neither group.

Please note: circles are in no particular pattern within the lower segment. It is merely the number of circles that are important for this sequence. Arrow changes direction from pointing up, to down, to right, then to left with each turn. Circles increase by one with each turn.

Option D is the odd one out. In the other figures, the black and white boxes are always opposite each other.

The top halves of the dominoes follow the sequence: 3, Blank, 3, blank, etc. The bottom halves follow the ascending Blank, 1, 2, 3, etc. Alternate dominoes are then inverted. Option D completes this sequence.

The short line moves 45% clockwise with each iteration. The shape which appears in the top left moves to the bottom right, replacing any shape which already there. Another shape may (or may not) appear in the top left. Option C is correct.

Each circle is divided into six portions; three pairs of identical shapes are located in opposite cells; the grey pieces rotate clockwise. All the inner parts rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. It is not easy to recognise the presence of the three pairs. However, one can reach the same conclusions using other clues. For instance, one may note that the same couple of shapes appear in the first and fourth items of the sequence, as is the second and fifth items. It is only logical that the next item of the series will include two hearts located in the right and left cells. This reasoning should lead us to narrow the possible answer to options (A) and (D). Figuring out the grey portions' movement pattern leaves us with possible options (B) and (D). Combining these two conclusions, and we're left with choice (D) as the only option to comply with this problem's reasoning.

The operation involves a reflection in the vertical plane through the centre of the figure. Option B is correct.

Adding the number of sides of the shapes in each figure gives eight, except for option D where it adds up to 5.

The figure is rotated by 90 degrees anticlockwise and a black square is transformed to white with each iteration. Option B is the next figure in the series. Note that option A will not work because the black square is in the wrong position.

The square moves to the centre and the lines are duplicated and rotated through 90 degrees. Option C is correct.

The white square moves one place anticlockwise. The black square moves one place clockwise. Option A is correct.

The first figure is rotated through 90 degrees anticlockwise to produce the second figure. The second figure is then reflected in the vertical plane to produce the third figure. This sequence is repeated. Option B is correct as it is a reflection of the fourth figure in the vertical plane.

The sides of each shape are decreasing by 2 as you move along each image in the sequence.

Arrow changes direction from pointing up, to pointing down, with each turn. Triangle moves from top left corner in a clockwise direction around the frame with each turn.

Option C is the only figure which does not contain the sequence of the double-diamond, concentric circles and line and the square plus diagonal line.

Circle, maintains same position in bottom right segment for one turn, and then is not present for the following two turns. Triangle, maintains same position in top left segment for one turn, and then is not present for the following turn.

As we move from left to right on the sequence you can see that the number of dots is changing by one. The blue dots are moving in the sequence 2,3,4,3,2,1. The red dots are moving in the sequence 2,3,4,5,4,3.

An alternating series in which the next figure requires the top and bottom elements plus two solid black shapes arranged vertically. Option D is correct.

The black squares move one place anticlockwise. Option D is correct.

Figure D is the odd one out. The other figures contain three repetitions of the group plus one reflection. Figure D contains two repetitions plus two reflections.

Figure X and figure Y are as follows: figure Y is figure X flipped vertically.

The correct answer must have the same relationship as figure Z.

You can eliminate answer A, as it represents figure Z rotated 90° counterclockwise.
You can eliminate answer B, as it represents figure Z flipped vertically and rotated 90° counterclockwise.
You can eliminate answer D, as it represents figure Z flipped horizontally.
You can eliminate answer E, as it is identical to figure Z.

You are left with answer 3, which is the correct answer, as it is depicted in figure Z flipped vertically.

Visualizing the entire figure flipped vertically can be challenging, breaking figure Z into smaller parts and imagining those parts flipped independently. First, notice the two triangles: the outer triangle on the left-hand side and the inner triangle. If you try to visualize the outer triangle flipped vertically, you will realize it looks the same.
Based on this alone, you can already solve the problem. The only two answer choices that show the outer triangle unchanged are answers three and. As stated above, answer five can be eliminated since it is identical to figure Z.
If you want to examine further, notice that the inner triangle base in figure Z is on top.
In contrast, the triangle 'points down'. If it is then flipped vertically, the ground will be on the bottom while the triangle 'points up'.

The relationship between figure X and figure Y is as follows:

Figure Y represents figure X with:
1) The dotted section becoming white, and
2) The white area becoming shaded.

The correct answer must have the same relationship with figure Z.

Answer (B) can be eliminated as the blank section remains blank, and the dotted area becomes shaded instead of becoming blank.
Answer (C) can be eliminated as the dotted section remains dotted.
Answer (D) can be eliminated as the blank section becomes dotted instead of shaded, and the dotted area becomes shaded instead of blank.
Answer (E) can be eliminated as the blank section becomes dotted instead of shaded.

We are left with answer 1, which is the correct answer, as it portrays figure Z while the blank section becomes shaded and the dotted area becomes blank.

The top halves of the dominoes repeat the sequence 4, 2, etc. The bottom halves repeat the sequence 5, 5, 4, 5, 3, 5, etc. Alternate pairs of dominoes are then inverted. Option B completes this sequence.

The black rectangle alternates between the top and bottom position and a white square is added with each iteration. Option A is the next figure in the series.

The four squares which make the top left corner block are identical to the four squares which make the bottom right corner block. The four squares which make the top right corner block are identical to the four squares which make the bottom left corner block. Option C completes the grid.

Option C is the only figure in which opposite collared squares are on opposite sides of the line.
