A sequence of figures is provided below that follows a specific pattern or rule. Identify the next figure in the sequence based on the given pattern.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The given figure series follows a simple pattern based on the number of vertical lines:
• Figure (1): Contains 1 vertical line.
• Figure (2): Contains 2 vertical lines.
• Figure (3): Contains 3 vertical lines.
Following this progressive pattern (1 → 2 → 3 → 4), the next figure in the sequence must contain 4 vertical lines.
Among the given options, only (D) satisfies this pattern with 4 vertical lines.
Therefore, (D) is the correct answer.
