I got this right, but by process of elimination. The answer doesn't make sense to me. The triangle should be in the bottom left or bottom right corner, not on the middle row. Being on the middle row means it moves more than any of the other shapes than in any of the other examples.

Third row diagonally

This question requires shifting the shapes a certain number of times in the cells. In the first row, the shapes move vertically. The second row, they move horizontally. In the third row, they move diagonally. Now, with rows one and two, all we had to do was build additional cells that are 3x3 either horizontally or vertically of each other. Visually, that gets us to the proper location once we figure out how many spaces each shape moves.

However, that doesn't work diagonally. To move diagonally, we need to build 3x3 cells diagonally. But we can't just put the corners together. They need to overlap. So draw out two 3x3 cells diagonally of each other, with the top right cell of the first one and the bottom left cell of the second one overlapping. Now move your shapes diagonally (up one, right one).

Ok so this a little more complex, looking down the first column, there are 4 shapes (circle,square, triangle square) , 3 shape on 2nd column (triangle,circle, triangle), 2 shape on 3rd column (Square, circle) so it is 4,3,2.

Using this theory for 2nd column u will get 243

and since it is 4,3,2

First row shapes can only move up or down and each time in opposite directions. Second row shapes can only move left or right but each time in opposite direction. last row shapes can move both left or right and up or down but still in opposite directions. Take third row circle for example it moved down to the left so the only option for the third box is up and right or right then up it doesn’t matter.
