A black square PQRS has been cut into two parts. One part of it is shown in Panel I. Which one of the shapes in Panel II is the other part?

Answer: C
The other part is shape (iii).
Read Panel I as a 6 by 6 grid of unit squares, columns numbered 1 to 6 from the left. The white region, which the missing part must fill exactly, lies in rows 2 to 5:
- row 2: column 2, and columns 5 and 6 against the right edge;
- row 3: columns 2 to 5, a bar of four;
- row 4: column 4 alone, a one-square neck;
- row 5: columns 2 to 4, a bar of three.
Shape (iii) has exactly this outline: a single square and a two-square block on top, a bar of four, a one-square neck under its third square, and a bar of three at the bottom ending under the neck. It fits without rotation.
Shape (i) has a bottom bar of four squares, one too many. Shape (ii) has its bottom bar shifted one square to the right. Shape (iv) has a neck two squares wide and a bottom bar of two, so neither matches the cut-out.
