Let 
$G$ be a finite group and 
${\rm\Gamma}$ a 
$G$-symmetric graph. Suppose that 
$G$ is imprimitive on 
$V({\rm\Gamma})$ with 
$B$ a block of imprimitivity and 
${\mathcal{B}}:=\{B^{g};g\in G\}$ a system of imprimitivity of 
$G$ on 
$V({\rm\Gamma})$. Define 
${\rm\Gamma}_{{\mathcal{B}}}$ to be the graph with vertex set 
${\mathcal{B}}$ such that two blocks 
$B,C\in {\mathcal{B}}$ are adjacent if and only if there exists at least one edge of 
${\rm\Gamma}$ joining a vertex in 
$B$ and a vertex in 
$C$. Xu and Zhou [‘Symmetric graphs with 2-arc-transitive quotients’, J. Aust. Math. Soc. 96 (2014), 275–288] obtained necessary conditions under which the graph 
${\rm\Gamma}_{{\mathcal{B}}}$ is 2-arc-transitive. In this paper, we completely settle one of the cases defined by certain parameters connected to 
${\rm\Gamma}$ and 
${\mathcal{B}}$ and show that there is a unique graph corresponding to this case.
