I am trying to improve my logical reasoning skills. Came across below question. See image. Can anybody let me know what the logical reasoning to the answer will be. I have no idea how to solve this
The question is, "Which of diagrams A, B, C, D, or E is the best continuation of the sequence in the top row?" |

I tried to represnt the positions of x and o in a table, then in a graph to see if there is a visual pattern. The x (Blue) could be assumed to follows a pattern, 1,2,2,3,4 the next could be a 4. However, the pattern for O is not obvious. If you look at the difference $+ - o$, for each position you get the second graph, 5 looks logical at the 6th difference. Accordingly, the value $(+,o)=(4,6)$ makes sense as the 6th position. So I would pick D as an answer. In left most graph: Series 1 is data for + and Series 2 is data for O In the right graph: Series 1 is the difference between + and O

It seems to me that the answer is D. The white circle moves to the next or the "second next" stripe, alternately. Thus, the move that you have to anticipate should consist in both the circle and the cross moving to the next stripe, following the direction of the previous motion. |

I assume that what you are asking is: Given the first five pictures, what should logically be the next. Hint: Try to see what happens to the $x$ from one picture to the next. And then do the same for $o$. So for example, $o$ seems to move op to the upper left corner and then bounce back. So maybe option $A$ is not the correct one. |

The circle is moving to next stripe every step, bouncing in the corners and jumping over the "x" if they would coincide in the same stripe. The "x" moves to the next stripe or doesn't move, alternately. So the correct answer would be D, both moving to the next stripe in the same direction. |

I would say D also. Just work out the movement of the X compared to the movement of the O and look at the pattern. |
