What comes in place of question mark?

A row of five squares, each divided by diagonals into four triangles carrying the symbols S, C, P and arrows; the middle square is a question mark

  • A.Square divided by diagonals: C at the top, S at the right, PP at the bottom and two up arrows at the left
  • B.Square divided by diagonals: two up arrows at the top, C at the right, S at the bottom and PP at the left
  • C.Square divided by diagonals: two up arrows at the top, CC at the right, S at the bottom and PP at the left
  • D.Square divided by diagonals: two up arrows at the top, S at the right, C at the bottom and PP at the left

Answer: B

The missing square is number 2: double arrow at the top, PP on the left, C on the right and S at the bottom.

Count each symbol in the squares. Figure 1 has S, C, P and one arrow, each once. Figure 2 has P doubled (PP). Figure 4 has the arrow doubled and C doubled. Figure 5 has S doubled. Each step adds one repeat to one symbol, in the order P, arrow, C, S, so figure 3 has PP and a double arrow, with a single C and S.

Positions turn 90 degrees clockwise at every step: in figure 1 the order from the top is S, P, arrow, C, and in figure 2 it is C, S, PP, arrow. Rotating figure 2 once more puts the double arrow at the top, then C on the right, S at the bottom and PP on the left. Check: turning this once more gives figure 4, which has PP at the top and the arrows on the right, as printed.

Option 1 has the symbols in the wrong places; option 3 has CC; option 4 has C and S swapped.
