Question
Which one of the patterns labelled P, Q, R, and S is used to generate the following figure?
📷 Figure: pattern P
📷 Figure: pattern Q
📷 Figure: pattern R
📷 Figure: pattern S
Correct answer
(B) Q
Solution
To identify the correct pattern, we must find the basic repeating unit (tile) that composes the larger grid.
1.Analyze the target figure: The large figure is a tessellation of a specific block. If we look at the top-left quadrant of the large figure, it consists of a specific arrangement of black and white squares.
2.Compare with options:
- Pattern P: The arrangement of the black 'T-shaped' blocks is different from the target.
- Pattern Q: This pattern matches the repeating unit in the large figure exactly. When tiled horizontally and vertically, it perfectly reproduces the target design.
- Pattern R: The orientation of the blocks is mirrored or rotated compared to the target.
- Pattern S: The connectivity of the black regions does not match the target figure.
