Select the option figure in which the given figure (X) is embedded (rotation is NOT allowed).

Correct — B. Figure X is a small right-angled triangle: a horizontal top edge, a vertical right edge, and a slanting side falling from the left end of the horizontal to the foot of the vertical.

Two details go with it. The horizontal runs on past the corner to the right, the vertical pokes up above it, and a solid dot sits on the slanting side.

Rule: rotation is barred, so the slant direction and both overhangs must survive unchanged.

Option (b) carries all of it — the long horizontal, the vertical dropping from the tall apex and the slanting line bearing the dot meet in exactly that arrangement, with the horizontal continuing rightwards and the vertical rising above it.

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Option (a) is a plain five-pointed star with a dot on one edge. It has no right angle and no horizontal crossing a vertical.
• (c)
  Option (c) is a tilted star. Its only horizontal is the short base at the very foot, with nothing drawn below it — X needs a vertical dropping below its horizontal and the dotted slant closing the triangle underneath.
• (d)
  Option (d) holds the mirror image — its vertical stands to the left of the slant and the slant falls the other way. A flip is no more allowed than a turn.

An embedded-figure item is a search for one exact sub-drawing. Reduce X to a short checklist before you look at the options: how many lines, which are straight and which slant, where they cross, and which ends stick out past a junction.

The overhangs matter as much as the shape itself. The horizontal running past the vertical, and the vertical rising above the horizontal, are part of X and must appear in the answer.

Key facts

• Figure X is a right-angled triangle whose horizontal and vertical legs each extend past their meeting corner.
• A solid dot sits on the slanting side of X and must lie on the matching line in the answer.
• With rotation barred, the answer must contain X at the same orientation, neither turned nor flipped.

Common traps

• Picking the mirror image because it contains all the same parts
• Matching the triangle and ignoring the two overhanging line ends
• Losing track of the dot, which fixes which line of the option is the slanting side
