Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Grid Pos 7
Concept:

Positional Movement Rules along a discrete coordinate grid.

Formula / Rule:

$$\text{Position}_n = \text{Position}_1 + (n - 1) \times 2$$

Solution:

  • Step 1: Marker is located at Grid Position 1.
  • Step 2: Marker shifts \(+2\) spaces to Grid Position 3.
  • Step 3: Marker shifts \(+2\) spaces to Grid Position 5.
  • Step 4: Following the continuous \(+2\) step rule, the marker must shift to \(5 + 2 =\) Grid Position 7 (Option D).


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Option A (Pos 4) & Option B (Pos 6): Represent even coordinate positions, violating the odd-numbered stepping arithmetic.
  • Option C (Pos 8): Jumps \(+3\) spaces from Step 3, breaking the constant distance rule.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
