Choose the option that will correctly come in place of the blank square in the given image.

Answer: Option D
Detailed Solution
The slanted lines form three nested diamonds around the centre of the big square. Each diamond is complete except for its top-left edge, so the blank square must contain three parallel slanting lines (/) in its lower-right half to close the diamonds.
The triangles sit in the outer corners: both bottom triangles point up and the top-right triangle points down. So the blank top-left square needs an inverted triangle in its top-left corner.
The small circle at the centre is drawn in three quarters; the missing part is a quarter circle at the bottom-right corner of the blank square.
Only option D has all three: the slanting lines, an inverted triangle at the top-left and a quarter circle at the bottom-right.
⚠ Common trap
Option C has the lines and the correct triangle but no quarter circle, so the centre circle would stay incomplete; option A has the triangle pointing up.Quick tip
Check two things: the direction of the corner shape in that row, and the piece needed to complete the shape at the centre.

Image Completion — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Image Completion, a key topic in the Logical Reasoning section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Image completion, also called figure or pattern completion, shows a figure with a missing part. You must choose the option that completes it correctly. The figure might be a symmetrical design, a pattern repeated in quarters, or a grid in which rows and columns follow a rule. Start by checking for symmetry. Many figures are symmetrical about a vertical line, a horizontal line or both diagonals, so the missing part must mirror the part opposite it. If the figure is divided into four quarters, the quarters often repeat with rotation. For grid-based questions, look for a rule across each row or column, such as an element moving one step or the number of elements increasing by one. Then check that the chosen option fits every line of the pattern, not just the part beside the gap. Practise the image completion questions below. Each solution explains the symmetry or rule used.
