There may also be problems in the form of figures,designs and drawings. These may be of three types :

1. Analogies 2. Classification and 3. Series

1. Analogies :

In these questions, there are two sets of figures. theProblem Figures and the Answer Figures. The ProblemFigures are presented in two units. The first unit containstwo figures and the second unit contains one figure and aquestion mark in place of the fourth figure. You have to

find out which one of the Answer Figures should be inplace of the question mark.

Study the following questions based on Analogies.

Look at the first two Problem Figures. The second figureis related to the first figure in a certain way. The first figureis a square. In the second figure, the square has been

bisected by a vertical line and the right half has beendarkened.

The third and fourth figures should have the samerelationship as the first and the second have. The thirdfigure is a circle, so in the fourth figure, the circle shouldbe bisected by a vertical line and the right half should bedarkened. Answer Figure 5 is related to the third ProblemFigure in this way. Therefore the answer is 5.

Study the first and the second figures in the ProblemFigures. The first figure is a darkened square and in thesecond figure, there are four squares, not darkened,arranged in a particular way. That means the elements inthe second figure are four times the elements in the firstfigure and are not darkened. In addition, the four squaresare arranged in a specific way and are not touching oneanother.

The third figure is a darkened circle. Therefore, the fourthfigure should have four circles which are not darkened,arranged in the same way as in the second figure. Now

look at the Answer Figures. You will find that figure 1consists of four circles which are not darkened arrangedin a similar way. Therefore, the answer is 1.
