EXPLANATION FOR ALL QUESTIONS

1. In all the boxes except option (b), the ‘x’ is always at the cut line
end and the small circle is at the straight-line end.
2. Take the element in option (a) and go on moving it in the CW
direction, you will get the options (c) and (d) but
5; never option (b).
3. The arrows in all the boxes are parallel to each other except in
option (d).
4. The direction of middle figure which should have been after 90°
clockwise movement has changed in figure (d).
5. The shaded region is moving in the CW direction in all the boxes
except in option (c).
6. The inside shaded figure is supported by lines drawn from the
sides of the outside figure in all the boxes except in option (d)
where it is supported by lines drawn from the vertices of the
outside figure.
7. The middle line emerging from the vertex is an arrow in each
figure except in the third figure.
8. When you join the mid-points of the hexagon in the first box you
get a triangle with the top vertex facing downwards. Repeat the
same process for subsequent figures. The inside triangle moves
through 900 ACW. Hence, in the fifth box the triangle should
have the top vertex again facing ownwards.
9. The central element becomes ‘+’ and ‘x’ in alternate boxes. All
the other elements move ACW and flip by 1800 every time in
subsequent boxes.
10. All the elements move one step down and up and become
opposite in direction.
11. All the elements move ACW. From first box to second box
the cross moves ahead of arrow by two steps in ACW direction
and a ‘shaded dot’ is added. From second box to third box the
arrow moves by three steps ACW and a new object ‘=’ is added.
From third box to fourth box the cross moves by four steps ACW
and a new object ‘shaded quare’ is added. Hence, in the fifth box
the shaded dot would move by five steps ACW and a ‘shaded
triangle’ is added.
 12. The shaded region moves two steps CW and one step ACW.
The dot moves two steps ACW and three steps CW.
The shaded triangle flips alternately by 1800 along the
horizontal axis in every figure. So, option (c) gets
eliminated. From first box onwards, one circle
disappears every time and a new element appears at
position 4. Hence, in box 3 of the problem figure, a
new element ‘#’ is introduced at position 4 and the ‘+’
sign moves one step ACW. Also, if you further observe the vacant place
moves one step ACW.
13. Simple logic. In box 3 of the problem figure a circle appears
at the top right corner.
14. The shaded dots reduce by one and the lines increase by two
in every step.
15. The line with the circular tip moves one step CW while the
small circle inside the hexagon moves one step ACW. The line
outside the hexagon moves 2 steps CW.
16. The arrow and the ‘X’ interchange places. The symbol ‘O’
remains as it is. Both the ‘S’ interchange places
17. The first element flips vertically by 1800 and goes to the
third position. The second element having only one shading on
the top stays in the same position and further gets an extra shading
on its tail. The third element flips vertically by 1800 and goes to
the fourth position and the fourth element goes to the first position
without any flipping.
18. Look at the first two Problem Figures. The second figure is
related to the first figure in a certain way. The elements in the
second figure double the elements in the first figure. The first
figure contains one square and 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 third figure is
a circle; so the fourth should be two circles. Therefore, the answer
is 5.
19. One of the line does not have an arrow.
20. Curves touch at tip and do not cut in figure
21. Inner figure does not touch outer figure in figure (b).
22. Contains more than 4 enclosed spaces.
23. Figure rotates by 45° in clockwise direction. The tip
(square) box should be on opposite side in figure (c).
24. In figure (d) S and T are wrongly placed.
25. ‘T @ ?’ are moving clockwise except in option (c). In option
(c), they are not in sequence also.
26. The logic here is that number of different type of elements
and their cubes. But in option (b), a certain type of element is
more than 2 in number.
27. The logic here is that the two triangles are intersecting in
each option except in option (d).
28. The logic here is that in the second figure, alphabet F should
be at top right position and its mirror image should be at bottom
left position
29. The logic here is that the difference between number of
unshaded fragments and number of shaded fragments is 5. In
figure (d) the difference is 4.
30. Top right-hand corner occupies a new figure and gradually
1, 2 and 3 figures are lost.
31. The movement is like 1 – 5 – 6 – 9 – 3 – 7 and 2 – 4 – 8.
32. In every box a new figure is coming and that new figure is
the succeeding letter or the letter which vanishes.
33. The logic here is that an odd number of elements are added
to subsequent figures along ACW direction
34. Option (d) is the correct choice since all the ‘S’ are being
consumed by ‘X’
35. The arrow moves towards left-hand side completely and
then reverses its movement; the circle moves about the corners in
clockwise direction
36. Half circle is added each time from alternate sides. (arrow)
moves in clockwise direction. (box) moves in clockwise direction
with internal line changing its position alternately.
37. The movement is like 1 – 7, 2 – 8, 3 – 9, 4 – 6, and the
middle element remains the same.
38. The movement is like 1 – 8 – 3 – 4 – 9 – 2 – 7 – 6. A new
element enters at the middle position each time.
39. Option (a) is the correct choice as the movement of shaded
region is in ACW direction.
40. Option (b) is the correct choice as all the elements move in
CW direction
41. Internal element is the exact replica of the external element.
42. Except option (d), all the figures are moving in clockwise
direction. Triangle get inverted at each position.
43. Internal line moves by 45° in anticlockwise direction each
time.
44. Of the four figures, three are straight-lines whereas one is a
circle. The three lines form a group. The circle does not belong
to this group. Therefore, the answer is the circle, which is figure
(a).
