Detailed Solution: Question 8

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

The element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element in respective steps.
Hence, (3) is the answer.

Test Level 3: Abstract Reasoning - Question 9
Save

Directions: In the following question, five different problem figures are provided. Successive problem figures follow a certain pattern. You have to identify the next figure to continue the sequence from the given answer figures (A, B, C, D and E).

Detailed Solution: Question 9

The shaded box moves one block ahead from left to right in the same row, column-wise, from box 1 to box 2, then two blocks ahead from box 2 to box 3, and then three blocks ahead, and so on.
Once the shaded block reaches the end of its row, it shifts to the leftmost block of the neighbouring row beneath.
Once the shaded block reaches the rightmost block of the last row, it shifts to the leftmost block of the topmost row to resume the cycle of shifting as described.
Hence, figure D is the correct answer.

Directions: In the following question, five different problem figures are provided. Successive problem figures follow a certain pattern. You have to identify the next figure to continue the sequence from the given answer figures (A, B, C, D and E).

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

Element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element in each step.
Hence, figure B is correct.

Test Level 3: Abstract Reasoning - Question 11

Directions: In this question, the first two problem figures bear a certain relationship to each other. The same relationship exists between the next two problem figures, out of which one is missing. Find the missing figure from the answer figures (A, B, C, D and E).

Detailed Solution: Question 16

The lower element moves upward, gets enlarged and rotates vertically with circle part getting shaded; and the upper element disappears and a new element appears at the lower part of the box. Hence, figure D is the correct option.

Test Level 3: Abstract Reasoning - Question 17
Save

Directions: In this question, the first two problem figures bear a certain relationship to each other. The same relationship exists between the next two problem figures, out of which one is missing. Find the missing figure from the answer figures (A, B, C, D and E).

Detailed Solution: Question 17

Elements of second and fourth columns are flipped horizontally.
Hence, figure C is the correct option.

Test Level 3: Abstract Reasoning - Question 18
Save

Directions: In this question, the first two problem figures bear a certain relationship to each other. The same relationship exists between the next two problem figures, out of which one is missing. Find the missing figure from the answer figures (A, B, C, D and E). 

Detailed Solution: Question 18

Directions: In this question, the first two problem figures bear a certain relationship to each other. The same relationship exists between the next two problem figures, out of which one is missing. Find the missing figure from the answer figures (A, B, C, D and E). 

Detailed Solution: Question 19

The inner shape expands, the line segment rotates 90 degrees, and the outer shape shrinks to join at the end of the line segment and gets shaded.
Hence, figure (C) is the correct option.

Test Level 3: Abstract Reasoning - Question 20
Save

Directions: In the following question, five different problem figures are provided. Successive problem figures follow a certain pattern. You have to identify the next figure to continue the sequence from the given answer figures (A, B, C, D and E).

Detailed Solution: Question 20

The element along the side of the box moves one side anticlockwise while the element at the centre remains at the centre. Further, the elements interchange positions with each other consequently in each step. This pattern is observed in the first pair of boxes and confirmed by the second pair of boxes. Hence, same must be followed in the third pair of boxes.
Hence, figure (B) is correct.
