Select the figure that will come next in the following figure series.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. 
Outer shape: Pentagon, Inner shape: Triangle. So, a triangle is nested inside a pentagon.
Outer shape: Square, Inner shape: Pentagon. This time, the inner shape (Pentagon) was the outer shape in the previous figure. Outer shape: Triangle, Inner shape: Trapezium. Again, the outer shape (Triangle) was the inner shape of the previous figure.
In each figure, the outer shape is the same as the inner shape from the previous figure.
However, only one of the options follows the exact pattern we saw earlier in the sequence — the outer shape being the same as the previous inner shape.
