Explanation: 3 In the problem figures, the diagram moves in anticlockwise direction and a new design takes place at upper position.

Explanation: 4 All other figures can be rotated into each other. (In each figurer except (a), the middle element is obtained by rotating the outer element through 90o Clock wise and the inner element is obtained by rotating the middle element through 90o clock wise).
