Non Verbal Series Aptitude MCQ Questions with Answers Set 04

Answer: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. The square moves 2 segments anticlockwise, the circle 3 anticlockwise, the star 4 anticlockwise and the triangle 1 clockwise.
2. Applying these moves to the fourth octagon puts the square at the top left, the triangle at the upper left and the circle and star together at the lower left.
3. This is (b).

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: (e) Figure (e)

Explanation:
1. Work along the rows from left to right.
2. The asterisk moves back and forth along the diagonal; the ? moves a quarter turn clockwise round the corners; the circle moves clockwise round the edge by 1, then 2, then 3 spaces and so on; the # moves left and right along the second row.
3. The last grid has ? top right, # in the second column of the second row, asterisk in the third row, third column, and circle bottom left: (e).

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: (b) Figure (b)

Explanation:
1. X moves clockwise 1, 2, 3, then 4 segments; the triangle moves clockwise 4, 3, 2, then 1 segment.
2. The circle and the square jump to the opposite segment and back each step.
3. # and asterisk fill the first two empty segments next to each other clockwise, and dots fill the rest, giving (b).

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. Move left to right along each row.
2. The circle moves 3 places clockwise round the edge; the triangle moves to and fro along the top-left to bottom-right diagonal; the star goes from top to bottom in a zigzag.
3. The last box has the triangle at top left, the circle in the bottom row, second column, and the star at bottom right: (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. The big grid looks the same after a half turn (180 degrees) about its centre.
2. The missing cross-shaped piece sits at the centre, so it must also look the same after a half turn.
3. Only (a) does: its rows T B / C Y L Y read the same as Y L Y C / B T turned round.

Teacher's Note:
1. Missing-piece grids are often built on symmetry; test the candidate piece by reflecting or rotating it.
2. A piece that falls on its own mirror cells must itself be symmetric, which rules out most options quickly.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. Work down each column; one cross is removed at each step.
2. In the first column the three crosses lose the left one first and then the right one.
3. So the last box keeps only the centre cross, which is (d).

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. Work along the rows: flip the left and right boxes upside down and put them together to get the middle box.
2. Flipping row 2's left box gives black squares in the left column, one at top right and a circle in the bottom row.
3. Adding the flipped right box (left-column blacks and two #) gives (b).

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. Turn the page and look at each box from its left edge.
2. The black spots then form the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
3. The last box must show 6, which is (a).

Teacher's Note:
1. Some figure series hide numbers or letters; try viewing the figure from another side.
2. Once a hidden code is found, check it against at least two given figures.

Answer: (d) Figure (d)

Explanation:
1. The grid is symmetric about the diagonal from top left to bottom right: the letter in row r, column c equals the letter in row c, column r.
2. The missing piece lies on that diagonal, so the piece must be symmetric in the same way.
3. Only (d) is: its first row L S matches its first column L S, and so on.

Teacher's Note:
1. Missing-piece grids are often built on symmetry; test the candidate piece by reflecting or rotating it.
2. A piece that falls on its own mirror cells must itself be symmetric, which rules out most options quickly.

Answer: (a) Y-C-P-M-I-T-D-Y-A

Explanation:
1. Two chains of letters are woven in along the diagonals.
2. One runs diagonally upwards from left to right, starting at the top-left corner on every other diagonal, and uses all consonants in order.
3. The other starts at the bottom right and runs diagonally downwards from right to left through the whole alphabet. Filling the last row gives Y-C-P-M-I-T-D-Y-A.

Teacher's Note:
1. Letter grids often hide sequences along rows, columns or diagonals; test diagonals early.
2. Check the alphabet and consonant-only orders when a chain seems to skip letters.
