Q.28. Some leaders are dishonest. Satyapriya is aleader. Which of the following inferencesdefinitely follows from these two statements ?(1) Satyapriya is honest(2) Satyapriya is dishonest(3) Some leaders are honest(4) Leaders are generally dishonest(5) Satyapriya is sometimes dishonest

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. the‘Problem 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 tofind 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 beenbisected 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. Nowlook 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”.

Study the first and the second figures in the first unit ofthe Problem Figures. The first figure is made up of fourlines and the second figure is made up of five lines. Thatmeans the second figure has one line more than the firstfigure. The third figure in the second unit has five lines.Therefore, the fourth figure should have six lines i.e. onemore than the third. Now look at the Answer Figures. Youwill find that figure 3 is made up of six lines. Therefore, theanswer is “3”.

Now, attempt the following questions. (Correct answersto all the unexplained questions are given later in thisbooklet).

2. Classification :

Study the following questions based on classification.

In classification, the Problem Figures are also the AnswerFigures. Out of the five figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, four aresimilar in a certain way and so form a group. One figure isnot like the other four. The question is which one of thefigures does not belong to this group.

For example, look at the example at Q. No. 34. Of the fivefigures, four figures are such that in each of them, thereare two similar figures, one within the other. These fourfigures form a group. Figure 1 is unlike this and so doesnot belong to this group. Therefore the answer is “1”.

Study the five figures of Q.35. The first four figures form agroup as they represent different types of containers whilethe fifth figure, a spoon, does not represent a container.Therefore the answer is “5”.

Now attempt the following questions.

Study the following problems based on series.

Note that the four figures given first at the left are calledProblem Figures. The five figures given next are calledAnswer figures. They are indicated by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4and 5.

The four Problem Figures make a series. That means theychange from left to right in a specific order. The questionis “if the figures continue to change in the same order,what should the fifth figure be ? In the example above, asyou go from left to right, you find that the arrow inside thecircle keeps rotating at 900 in the clockwise direction. Thequestion is, ‘if the arrow continues to rotate by the sameamount in the clockwise direction, what will be its next,i.e. fifth position ? The answer is that it should point towardsthe top in the fifth figure. Answer Figure 2 shows thisposition of the arrow. Therefore, the answer is “2”.

Look at Q.39 carefully. You will see two different thingshappening here. When you move from left to right, thenumber of black dots inside the hexagon is increasing byone everytime in the anti-clockwise direction. But notethat the white dot is moving in the clockwise direction. Inthe fifth figure, the white dot should be at the upper leftcorner of the hexagon. Only Answer Figure 3 has both-one black dot getting added at the lower left corner andthe white dot moving to the upper left corner. So, the answeris “3”.

Note that there can be questions with five ProblemFigures in the series type of questions. For example,study the Problem Figures in Q. No. 40.
