Hint 2 of 2
You want the picture where the white (unshaded) part is the bigger half.
Show solution
Approach: compare shaded vs unshaded halves
- In four of the squares the grey region is at least half of the square.
- Look for the one square where the grey takes up less than half, so the white part is the larger.
- That happens only in picture E.
