Question

Observe a sequência de figuras a seguir.

Considerando que a lei de formação permanecerá a mesma, a figura que ocupará a posição 53a na sequência dada, será:

Answer 1

C) Equal to the figure in position 3.

Explanation:

Assume the sequence of figures is like the one below.

The pentagons differ in the number of stars in the sequence:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

The sequence repeats after the fifth term.

To find the 53rd term, find the remainder for 53 ÷ 5.

53 ÷ 5 = 10, with a remainder of 3.

This tells you there are ten complete sequences (50 numbers), and three more numbers.

The 53rd term is 3, so

The figure that will occupy position 53 in the sequence is equal to the figure in position 3.
