Directions to Solve
Each of the following questions consists of five figures marked A, B, C, D and E called the Problem Figures followed by five other figures marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 called the Answer Figures. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Question
- Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option B If we label the four elements in the figure
135oACW alternately; the element at position 2 rotates 90oACW and moves to position 3 in each step; the element at position 3 rotates 90oACW and moves to position 4 in each step and the element at position 4 moves to position 2 and gets replaced by a new element in each step.
Question 2 Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option B In the first step, the elements at the four
Question 3
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Option A In one step, one half-leaf is lost from the CW-end and three half-leaves are added at the ACW-end. In the next step, one half-leaf is lost from the CW-end and two half-leaves are added at the ACW-end.
Question 4
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option A One circle is replaced by a new symbol in each step and this replacement takes place on either ends alternately. The complete figure rotates 45oACW in each step.
Question 5
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option DIn fig. (X), one of the dots lies in the region common to the circle and the square only, another dot lies in the region common to the square, the triangle and the rectangle only and the third dot lies in the region common to the triangle and the rectangle only. In each of the figures (1), (2) and (3) there is no region common to the square, the triangle and the rectangle only. Only fig. (4) consists of all the three types of regions.
Question 6
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E In each step, all the existing elements move to the adjacent side (of the square boundary) in a CW direction. The number of black circles decreases by one in first, third, fifth, ….steps and the number of arrows increases by one in second, fourth, sixth,… steps.
Question 7
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option B In one step, a black circle is added to the figure at the CW-end of the existing circles and a line segment is added on the upper side. In the next step, a white circle is added to the figure at the ACW-end of the existing circles and a line segment is added on the lower side.
Question 8
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E The element having trapezium at its end, rotates 135oACW and the trapezium gets inverted in each step. The other element rotates 135oACW in one step and it rotates 45oCW and the symbol at its end gets replaced by a new element in the next step.
Question 9
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E The number of ‘L’ shaped elements in the upper part of the figure increases by one in every second step. Also, in each step, the existing ‘L’ shaped elements rotate 90oCW; the lower two elements interchange positions and the element that reaches the lower left corner, gets replaced by a new one.
Question 10
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option B The elements move in the
Question 11
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option C The two elements together move two spaces (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) and three space ACW alternately. Also, in one step, the two elements interchange positions and together rotate 90oCW and in the next step, the two elements interchange positions and together rotate through 180o.
Question 12
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option D The diagonals of the hexagon are drawn in a sequence – (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 6).
Question 13
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E In each step, all the elements move to the adjacent corner (of the square boundary) in an ACW direction. Also, the elements that reach the lower-right and upper-left positions get vertically inverted alternately
Question 24 Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E In the first step, the elements interchange
Question 25
Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
Explanation
Answer: Option E In the first step, the elements interchange
