Non Verbal Series Aptitude MCQ Questions with Answers Set 03

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. The dividing line turns 45 degrees each time: diagonal, vertical, other diagonal, horizontal.
2. The double lines move round the square in 45-degree steps: upper right, right, lower right, bottom.
3. Next the dividing line is the first diagonal again with the double lines at the lower left, which is (d).

Teacher's Note:
1. Fix one reference point and measure each move in steps of 45 or 90 degrees to spot the rotation rule.
2. Check whether the step size stays the same, alternates or grows (1, 2, 3...), since all three are common.

Answer: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. The rectangle is divided, then the parts are separated, alternately.
2. One box, then 2 parts, then 2 separate boxes, then each box divided into 2 (4 parts).
3. Next the 4 parts separate into 4 boxes, which is (b).

Teacher's Note:
1. Count the lines, dots or symbols in each figure; a steady rise or fall is often the whole rule.
2. When two things change, write both counts in a row and check each sequence separately.

Answer: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. The concave (curved) side moves: left side, both sides, right side.
2. The pattern swings back and forth, so next both sides are curved again.
3. This is (b).

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare figure 1 with 3 and figure 2 with 4; many series run two alternating patterns.
2. If a figure repeats after a fixed number of steps, the answer is simply the matching earlier figure.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. Number the 8 triangles clockwise and follow the shaded one.
2. It moves anticlockwise by 1, then 2, then 3 triangles.
3. Next it moves 4 triangles, landing in the upper-left triangle beside the horizontal line, which is (d).

Teacher's Note:
1. Follow each symbol separately across the grids and write down its cell after every step.
2. Number the cells or segments so that moves of 1, 2, 3... places are easy to check.

Answer: (a) Figure (a)

Explanation:
1. In odd figures the cross is outside the oval and the dot inside; in even figures the dot is above and the cross inside.
2. The odd figures move the cross from left to right, so the pattern repeats every four figures.
3. The fifth figure is the same as the first, which is (a).

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare figure 1 with 3 and figure 2 with 4; many series run two alternating patterns.
2. If a figure repeats after a fixed number of steps, the answer is simply the matching earlier figure.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. The circle end turns 135 degrees anticlockwise each step: top, lower left, right, upper left, so next bottom.
2. The arrow turns 90 degrees clockwise every two steps: right, right, down, down, so next left.
3. The fork turns 90 degrees clockwise every two steps and stays at the upper right. Only (d) fits.

Teacher's Note:
1. Fix one reference point and measure each move in steps of 45 or 90 degrees to spot the rotation rule.
2. Check whether the step size stays the same, alternates or grows (1, 2, 3...), since all three are common.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. The plus signs in the face increase by one: 1, 2, 3, so next 4.
2. Everything else stays unchanged, including the plain oval mouth.
3. Only (d) has 4 plus signs and a plain oval.

Teacher's Note:
1. Count the lines, dots or symbols in each figure; a steady rise or fall is often the whole rule.
2. When two things change, write both counts in a row and check each sequence separately.

Answer: (c) Figure (c)

Explanation:
1. Each step removes one corner line and one symbol.
2. The corner lines go top left, then top right, then bottom right, clockwise, leaving the bottom-left line.
3. The crescent stays and turns 90 degrees each time, so next it opens downwards: (c).

Teacher's Note:
1. Count the lines, dots or symbols in each figure; a steady rise or fall is often the whole rule.
2. When two things change, write both counts in a row and check each sequence separately.

Answer: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. The corner circles swap colours every step, so the fifth figure has the corners of figure 1.
2. The central cluster gets smaller each time.
3. Only (b) has the corners of figure 1 and a single circle in the centre.

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare figure 1 with 3 and figure 2 with 4; many series run two alternating patterns.
2. If a figure repeats after a fixed number of steps, the answer is simply the matching earlier figure.

Answer: (c) Figure (c)

Explanation:
1. The outer square stays; the three shapes inside it rotate places.
2. Figure 4 is the same as figure 1, so the order repeats every three figures.
3. The fifth figure equals figure 2: circle, triangle, square, which is (c).

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare figure 1 with 3 and figure 2 with 4; many series run two alternating patterns.
2. If a figure repeats after a fixed number of steps, the answer is simply the matching earlier figure.

Answer: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. The vertical lines change into plus signs one at a time.
2. The changes alternate between the top row and the bottom row, left to right.
3. Next the bottom row gets its second plus: + + | on top and bottom, which is (b).

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare figure 1 with 3 and figure 2 with 4; many series run two alternating patterns.
2. If a figure repeats after a fixed number of steps, the answer is simply the matching earlier figure.

Answer: (f) Figure (f)

Explanation:
1. Work along each row: put the left and middle grids together to get the right grid.
2. A square shaded in only one of them stays black; a square shaded in both turns white.
3. Doing this for the third row gives (f).

Teacher's Note:
1. Follow each symbol separately across the grids and write down its cell after every step.
2. Number the cells or segments so that moves of 1, 2, 3... places are easy to check.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. Symbols with curved lines (circle, S, star, asterisk) move 2 segments clockwise each step.
2. Straight-sided symbols (#, X, triangle, !) jump to the opposite segment each step.
3. Applying both moves to the third octagon gives (d).

Teacher's Note:
1. Follow each symbol separately across the grids and write down its cell after every step.
2. Number the cells or segments so that moves of 1, 2, 3... places are easy to check.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. Read the grids line by line.
2. The @ moves round the corners in a figure-of-8 (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right); the asterisk moves anticlockwise in steps of 2 round the two middle columns; the triangle moves to and fro along the third row.
3. For the middle grid this gives @ top left, asterisk beside it and triangle in the second column of the third row, which is (d).

Teacher's Note:
1. Follow each symbol separately across the grids and write down its cell after every step.
2. Number the cells or segments so that moves of 1, 2, 3... places are easy to check.
