Correct Answer:

Solution : In the given figure –

In Box 1, the three lines with the circles are facing upwards.
In Box 2, the lines get reduced by one→(3 – 1) = 2, and the two lines with the circle on top are facing downwards.
In Box 3, the lines get reduced by one→(2 – 1) = 1, and the line with the circle on top is facing upwards.

In Box 4, the three lines with the circles are facing downwards.

So, in Box 5, the lines will get reduced by one→(3 – 1) = 2, and the two lines with the circle on top will be facing upwards. Hence, the third option is correct.
