Pattern Analysis

To find the next figure, we need to observe the relationship between the shapes:

1. Figure 1 to Figure 2: Two triangles are joined at their vertices (tips) in the first box. In the second box, they are flipped and joined at their bases to form a diamond shape.

   • Logic: $\text{Vertex-to-Vertex}\to \text{Base-to-Base}$

2. Figure 3 to Figure 4: In the third box, we see two semi-circles (or bowl shapes) joined at their vertices/curves.

3. The Next Step: Following the same logic as the triangles, the semi-circles in the fourth box must be flipped and joined at their flat bases.

Mathematical Logic Representation

We can represent the transformation using the following logic:

For Triangles ($T$):

For Semi-circles ($S$):

When two semi-circles are joined at their flat bases, they form a Circle.

Final Answer

The next pattern in the series will be a Circle (specifically, two semi-circles joined at the horizontal diameter).
