Directions for questions 1 to 10: In the givenquestions, the Problem Figures themselves are alsothe Answer Figures. Out of the four figures (a), (b),(c) and (d), three are similar in a certain way. Onefigure is not like the other three. That means threefigures form a group. The question is: which of thefigures does not belong to this group?

Study the following problem based on odd man out.

(a ) (b ) (c) (d )

Of the four figures, three are straight-lines whereasone is a circle. The three lines form a group. Thecircle does not belong to this group. Therefore, theanswer is the circle, which is figure (a).

Now, solve the following questions.

Directions for questions 11 to 15: In these questions, there are two sets of figures. The Problem Figuresand the Answer Figures. The four Problem Figures make a series. That means they change from left toright in a specific order. The question is, if the figures continue to change in the same order, what shouldthe fifth figure be?

Study the following problem based on series.

Prob lem F igures Answ er Figures

(a ) (b ) (c) (d )

In the example above, as you go from left to right, you find the line across the Problem Figures fallingdownward. The question is, if the line continues to fall, what will be its next, i.e. fifth position? The answerwould be: it would fall further and be lying horizontal.

Now, look at the Answer Figures. You find that Answer Figure (d) has a line lying horizontal. Therefore, theanswer is (d).

Directions for questions 21 to 25: In these questions, there are two sets of figures. The Problem Figuresand the Answer Figures. The Problem Figures are presented in two units. The first unit contains two figuresand the second unit contains one figure and a question mark. You have to find out which of the AnswerFigures should be in place of the question mark.


(a ) (b ) (c) (d ) (e )

Look at the first two Problem Figures. The second figure is related to the first figure in a certain way. Theelements in the second figure double the elements in the first figure. The first figure contains one squareand the second figure contains two squares.

The third and fourth figures should have the same relationship as that of the first and the second. The thirdfigure is a circle; so the fourth should be two circles. Therefore, the answer is 5.

Directions for questions 1 to 5: In these questions, there are two sets of figures. The Problem Figuresand the Answer Figures. The four Problem Figures make a series. That means they change from left toright in a specific order. The question is, if the figures continue to change in the same order, what should bethe third figure, so that the series is completed?

Study the following problem based on series.


(a ) (b ) (c) (d )

In the example above, as you go from left to right, you find the line across the Problem Figures fallingdownward. The question is, if the line continues to fall, what will be its third position? The answer would be:it would fall further and be more inclined than the second figure and less inclined than the fourth figure.Also, further observe that the line has become horizontal in the fifth figure and hence, the series is maintained.

Now, look at the Answer Figures. You find that Answer Figure (d) follows the same logic. Therefore, theanswer is (d).

1. b In all the boxes except option (b), the ‘x’ is always atthe cut line end and the small circle is at the straight-line end.

2. b Take the element in option (a) and go on moving it in theCW direction, you will get the options (c) and (d) butnever option (b).

3. d The arrows in all the boxes are parallel to each otherexcept in option (d).

4. c The shaded region is moving in the CW direction in allthe boxes except in option (c).

5. d The inside shaded figure is supported by lines drawnfrom the sides of the outside figure in all the boxesexcept in option (d) where it is supported by linesdrawn from the vertices of the outside figure.

6. c The middle line emerging from the vertex is an arrowin each figure except in the third figure.

7. d Internal line moves by 45° in anticlockwise directioneach time.

8. d Except option (d), all the figures are moving in clockwisedirection. Triangle get inverted at each position.

9. d The direction of middle figure which should have beenafter 90° clockwise movement has changed infigure (d).

10. b Internal element is the exact replica of the externalelement.

11. d When you join the mid-points of the hexagon in thefirst box you get a triangle with the top vertex facingdownwards. Repeat the same process for subsequentfigures. The inside triangle moves through 900 ACW.Hence, in the fifth box the triangle should have the topvertex again facing ownwards.

12. c The central element becomes ‘+’ and ‘x’ in alternateboxes. All the other elements move ACW and flip by1800 every time in subsequent boxes.

13. b All the elements move one step down and up andbecome opposite in direction.

14. a All the elements move ACW. From first box to secondbox the cross moves ahead of arrow by two steps inACW direction and a ‘shaded dot’ is added. Fromsecond box to third box the arrow moves by threesteps ACW and a new object ‘=’ is added. From thirdbox to fourth box the cross moves by four steps ACWand a new object ‘shaded quare’ is added. Hence, inthe fifth box the shaded dot would move by five stepsACW and a ‘shaded triangle’ is added.

15. d The shaded region moves two steps CW and onestep ACW. The dot moves two steps ACW and threesteps CW.

16. b The logic here is that number of different type ofelements and their cubes. But in option (b), a certaintype of element is more than 2 in number.

17. d The logic here is that the two triangles are intersectingin each option except in option (d).

18. b The logic here is that In all figuresObject 1 (at top) has vertical axis of symmetry.Object 2 (in middle) has horizontal axis of symmetry.Object 3 (at bottom) has both axis of symmetry.Object ‘J’ in figure (b) has no axis of symmetry.

19. b The logic here is that in the second figure, alphabet Fshould be at top right position and its mirror imageshould be at bottom left position.

20. d The logic here is that the difference between numberof unshaded fragments and number of shadedfragments is 5. In figure (d) the difference is 4.

1. e Curves touch at tip and do not cut in figure.

2. b Inner figure does not touch outer figure in figure (b).

3. a One of the line does not have an arrow.

4. c Contains more than 4 enclosed spaces.

5. c Figure rotates by 45° in clockwise direction. The tip(square) box should be on opposite side in figure (c).

6. d In figure (d) S and T are wrongly placed.

7. c In option (c), the second quadrant is not a water image.And in each figure, the bottom right-hand corner figureis the water image of the left bottom corner figurerotated by 90° in anticlockwise direction.

8. c ‘T @ ?’ are moving clockwise except in option (c). Inoption (c), they are not in sequence also.

9. d The top and right curves rotate 90° clockwise and theleft and bottom curves rotate 90° anticlockwise. Butthis is not true in option (d).

10. c The elements diagonally opposite to each other aremirror image and water image respectively.

11. b Top right-hand corner occupies a new figure andgradually 1, 2 and 3 figures are lost.

12. b Top left-hand corner and bottom left-hand corner isoccupied by new figures alternately and numbers offigures is also increasing.

13. a Next letter to bottom right-hand corner letter isintroduced in the next figure each time.

14. c Middle of left-hand side and middle of the base, isoccupied by a new element each time, alternately.

15. d Similar figures increasing in a systematic manner i.e.closed figure, then open figure. The answer figurewould be a close one that is why choice (d) is theanswer.

16. c The movment is like 1 – 5 – 6 – 9 – 3 – 7 and 2 – 4 – 8.

17. e New figure is added at the middle of the left-hand sidein each figure, and the number of figures is increasingin each figure along with retaining the existing figure.

18. c Each figure is moving in clockwise direction and theD gets inverted in every next figure.

19. d In every box a new figure is coming and that newfigure is the succeeding letter or the letter whichvanishes.

20. d Bottom left hand corner position is occupied by a newfigure each time and all the figures are moving inclockwise direction.

21. c The line with the circular tip moves one step CW whilethe small circle inside the hexagon moves one stepACW. The line outside the hexagon moves 2steps CW.

22. b The total number of lines (by counting the star and thetriangle) in the left box of the problem figure is 13. So,first of all in the answer choices the total number oflines should also be 13. Hence, options (c) and (e) areeliminated. Further, the figure at the top left cornerconsisting of 10 lines becomes a six sided figure. Thetriangle at the bottom right corner becomes four sidedand 3 new lines are added which are parallel toeach other.


23. e In the problem figure, the arrow flips vertically by 1800

and moves one step ACW. The line with curved tip atthe bottom in the left box flips horizontally by 1800 andgoes to the top position in the right box. The element ‘S’exhibits radial symmetry moves one step ACW,vanishes and a new element ‘Z’ exhibiting the sameline of symmetry appears. The final element namely ‘H’has two axes of symmetry, vanishes and a newelement ‘I’ having the same two axes of symmetryappears.

24. c The arrow and the ‘X’ interchange places. The symbol‘O’ remains as it is. Both the ‘S’ interchange places.

25. a The first element flips vertically by 1800 and goes tothe third position. The second element having only oneshading on the top stays in the same position andfurther gets an extra shading on its tail. The thirdelement flips vertically by 1800 and goes to the fourthposition and the fourth element goes to the first positionwithout any flipping.

1. d The shaded triangle flips alternately by 1800 along thehorizontal axis in every figure. So, option (c) getseliminated. From first box onwards, one circledisappears every time and a new element appears atposition 4. Hence, in box 3 of the problem figure, anew element ‘#’ is introduced at position 4 and the ‘+’sign moves one step ACW. Also, if you further observethe vacant place moves one step ACW.

2. a The shaded region moves by three steps CW. Thesmall circle moves three steps ACW. The dot movesby one step CW.

3. b Simple logic. In box 3 of the problem figure a circleappears at the top right corner.

4. d The shaded dots reduce by one and the lines increaseby two in every step.

5. c Observe the fourth and the fifth boxes. The circle andthe square remain in the same position but both thecurved Xs which were bulging inwards now bulgeoutwards. Hence, now in the third box the Xs wouldremain as it is but the remaining three objects remain inthe same position.

6. c The logic here is that an odd number of elements areadded to subsequent figures along ACW direction.

7. b Option (b) is the correct choice as line is movingclockwise in one step, two steps, three steps andfour steps.

8. a Option (a) is the correct choice as the movement ofshaded region is in ACW direction.

9. b Option (b) is the correct choice as all the elementsmove in CW direction.

10. d Option (d) is the correct choice since all the ‘S’ arebeing consumed by ‘X’
