Question Statement:
In a 3x3 figure matrix, each element is formed by combining the clockwise rotation of the row pattern (+60 degrees per step) with the counter-clockwise rotation of the column pattern (-30 degrees per step). From cell (1, 1) at orientation 0 degrees, what is the orientation of cell (3, 3)?
Options:
(A) +60 degrees (CW)
(B) +120 degrees (CW)
(C) -60 degrees (CCW)
(D) 0 degrees
Answer Key:
A
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Moving from row 1 to row 3 is 2 row steps: 2 * (+60 deg) = +120 deg. Moving from col 1 to col 3 is 2 col steps: 2 * (-30 deg) = -60 deg. Net orientation = +120 - 60 = +60 degrees.
