Problem
If this path is to continue in the same pattern:
then which sequence of arrows goes from point to point
?
Solution
Notice the pattern from to
repeats for every four arrows. Any number that has a remainder of
when divided by
corresponds to
.
The remainder when is divided by
is
. The arrows from point
to point
1
3
\boxed{\text{(A)}}$.
