In the following question, select the figure which can come next after figure(E) from the given alternatives.

Here in each box from the left end, the sign of dotted circle, plus, and star are coming in their respective manner. So it is clear that in the sixth box, star will come. Option (a) can be eliminated by this.

Now the movement of these symbols is in an anticlockwise direction of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 steps respectively. So by this, we can eliminate option (d).

Now the direction of the arrow is the same in the first, third, and fifth box. Similarly, the direction of the arrow will be the same in the second, fourth and sixth box. By this option (c) can also be eliminated.

Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
