Question 1
Choose the next figure in the pattern:
MAH MBA CET Figures Questions
Solution
We see that the number of sides in the pattern is increasing from 3-4-6 so the next shape has to have 9 sides.
Question 2
Identify the next term of the series among the following options:
Solution
We see two patterns:
First, the upper and lower arrows change their directions in every next box.
Second: Items in the first and second boxes exchange their positions, and then the item on the upper arrow in the second box is changed. Similarly, items in the third and fourth boxes exchange their positions. After that, the star at the upper arrow changes to a rhombus-shaped icon. Hence, in the sixth box, the icons of the fifth box should be exchanging their positions. Therefore, Option D is the correct option.
Question 3
In the question below what will come in place of the question mark ‘?’ so that the figures are in series.
Solution
The inner most shape is becoming the outer most in the next figure. And the arrow is rotating by $$90^o$$.
In this pattern option A will be the answer.
Question 4
Choose the next figure in the series using logic of rotations:
Solution
From the first figure to the second, arrow is rotated twice anti clockwise. Second to third, its rotated thrice anti clock wise
So, the fourth image should be the arrow after rotating four times anti clockwise, which will be the same as the third figure.
Question 5
Choose the pair of figures which best expresses the relationship similar to that given in the figures given initially?
Solution
In the original question's figure, the order of the figures is reversed as well as the figures the changed from left to right facing.
In option 1, the sign of not equal to is not changed in terms of opposite side facing.
In option 2, the alphabet "L" is not changed in terms of opposite side facing.
Option 3 is correct.
In option 4, the alphabet "J" is not changed in terms of opposite side facing.
In option 5, the number "7 and 1" is not changed in terms of opposite side facing.
Question 6
Find the number of triangles in the figure
Solution
The following are the triangles
1. AGB
2. AGD
3. AHF
4. HFE
5. EHD
6. HDJ
7. ABD
8. ABC
9. BGC
10. BIC
11. GJC
12. BCJ
13. AHC
14. AFC
Hence, there are a total of 14 triangles.
Question 7
Identify the next step of the series:
Solution
Here, we see the pattern that the three alphabets are moving anticlockwise and the alphabet last in the string takes the next spot in the anti clockwise direction.
Hence, in the 5th step, the B is last in the string so B will come in the middle spot of the top side and the position of A and C will remain the same as that in the step 5.
Question 8
Which of the following options correctly replaces (?) in the given figure.
Solution
The arrows in the figure rotate anti clock wise by 90 from quadrant 1 to 4.
So, (?) must have the arrow facing South-East Direction.
Thus, only option A and C are possible.
Now, the first quadrant has 1 dark bar, second has 2, and third has 3. Thus, fourth must have 4 bars.
Among A and C, only C has 4 dark bars. Thus, C is the correct answer.
Question 9
Choose the pair of figures which best expresses the relationship similar to that given in the figures given initially?
Solution
Taking the mirror image of the given image place the mirror below the image.
The pair of images given in option E satisfies the condition of mirror image and hence option E is the answer.
Question 10
Choose the pair of figures which best expresses the relationship similar to that given in the figures given initially?
Solution
Rotating the figure by $$90^{\circ\ }$$ in clockwise direction. Option D follows the same analogy.
Question 11
If a mirror is placed on the line AB, then which of the answer figures is the right image of the given figure?
Solution
The star is in the right most position so in the mirror image the star will be in the left most position. So, option A and D can be eliminated.
Out of the remaining two the correct mirror image of the given picture must be -
Hence, option C is the right choice.
Question 12
Calculate the number of triangles in the given figure:
Solution
Here, first we have the following triangles:
So, 12 triangles.
So, 6 triangles:
2 triangles:
Hence, the figure has 12 + 6 + 2 = 20 triangles
Question 13
Which figure among the given options will logically replace ‘?’ in the question below -
Solution
Last symbol is shifted to first position not changing the positions of remaining symbols. Following the same sequence, we will get option C.
Question 14
If the cube is folded as shown, then which pair of faces would be opposite each other?
Solution
When the given box would be folded, Opposite face sets would be (1) Star and Arrow ,(2) Dot and Square ,(3) Triangle and Circle
(B) Dot and Star would be on adjacent faces
(C) Circle and Arrow would be on adjacent faces
(D) Triangle and Dot would be on adjacent face
Hence, Option A is the Correct answer
Question 15
Identify the odd pair?
Solution
For the images represented in options A, B, D, E the second figure inside the square is generated when the first figure is rotated by 90 degrees in the clockwise direction. The same is not true for option C.
In the next five questions five problem figures which are in a sequence are provided. If the sequence is to be continued which of the answer figures will come next in the sequence.
Question 16
Solution
The square moves one and a half side of the box (in the counterclockwise direction) from the first diagram to second. Then it moves one side from second to third diagram. Then it moves one and a half side again and so on. The letter T turns in the clockwise direction by 135 degrees from first diagram to second. Then it turns 90 degrees from second diagram to third. Then it turns 135 degrees again and so on.
A piece of paper is folded and punched as shown in the figure below. From the below answer figures, indicate how it will appear when opened
Question 17
Solution
A piece of paper is folded and punched as shown in the figure below. From the below answer figures, indicate how it will appear when opened
Question 18
Solution
In each of the questions given below which one of the five answer figures should come after the problem figures if the sequence were continued ?
Question 19
Solution
Two patterns are alternatively followed by the given figures,
Pattern 1:The elements in the upper triangle (P,Q,R in figure 1) or the ones in lower triangle(P,N,3 in figure 3) are shifted diagonally. The elements in the diagonal are shifted by 1 position with the elements moving in the North-West direction.
Pattern 2: The middle element is replaced by a new element.
For the formation of figure 6, pattern 1 is to be applied on figure 5. The figure thus formed is option B.
In each of the following questions, there are five problem figures and five answer figures. Problem figures have a pattern. A series is established if one of the answer figures is placed in the question marked space. You have to determine which answer figure best suits the question marked space.
Question 20
Solution
The alphabets are rotating one step in the clockwise direction in every step. Hence the correct answer is (a) or (b).
In every two steps, the alphabets also move in the anticlockwise direction. So, (b) is the correct answer as the alphabets move in the anticlockwise direction after 2 steps.
In each of the questions given below which one of the five answer figures on the right should come after the problem figures on the left, if the sequence were continued.
Question 21
Solution
In figures 1-2, the element at the center and at the bottom right interchange their position and the elements in the first column interchange their positions.
In figures 2-3, the elements in the top row interchange their positions. Same happens with the elements of the bottom row.
This process is continued throughout.
