each subsequent figure
and in the first step a new
design appears in the
upper right sector and in
the next step a new design
appears in the lower left
sector.
27. (a) First the arrow
interchanges its position
with that of the signs
placed on its right in
three subsequent steps. It
is then followed by the
pin. As any two signs
interchange places both of
them get inverted.
28. (b) The shaded part moves
clockwise one and two
steps alternately.
29. (d) Similar figure appears
alternately and each time
it appears, it rotates 90
clockwise.
30. (e) In one step, the middle
design on the left side and
the upper and lower
symbols on the right side
move one step clockwise.
In the next step, the
other three designs move
one step anticlockwise.
31. (c) All the designs move
anticlockwise in the
subsequent figures. In the
first step, a new design
appears in upper leftsector and in the second
step a new design appears
in the lower right sector.
32. (e) Each design is moving
clockwise through one
step in each subsequent
figure and the designwhich reaches in lower
sector gets doubled.
33. (d) The changes from
Problem Figure (a) to (b)

Similar changes occur
from Problem (c) to (d).34. (b) This problem is based on
the rule a=c=e and b=d.

one new design is added
in front of the pre-
existing design(s) and all
designs move one stepanticlockwise.
36. (c) The first element from
top moves to the third
position, the second
element occupies the top
position and is reversed,
the third element movesto the lower most
position and the fourth
element moves to the

place of outer design a
new figure is drawn.
40. (e) The D rotates 90
clockwise direction and
turns upside down.
41. (b) The entire figure rotatesin clockwise direction
through 90 while one
line segment gets added
to it.
42. (b) The small H and large
E enlarge and reduce
alternately with thesimultaneous shifting
through one side length
of V anticlockwise and
E clockwise, and further
accompanied by
anticlockwise rotation of
E through 90.43. (a) The column of elements
shifts as follows: right,
left, centre and so on.
With each shift, first the
lower two elements and
then the upper two
elements interchange
positions alternately, and
with each interchange the
third element gets
replaced by a new one.
44. (a) The element at the
bottom expands and
occupies the top position
while a new element is
substituted in its place.
45. (a) The figure loses one
attachment, rotatesanticlockwise through
90, regains the lost
attachment, loses the
diametrically opposite
attachment and so on.
46. (c) The entire figure rotates
clockwise through 135.47. (d) The central hexagon
adopts two positions
alternately, the small
hollow element shifts to
the diagonally opposite
corner and becomes black,
and the existing blackelement is replaced by a
new empty (unblackened)
element.
48. (c) The number of dots inside
the element increases by
one alternately while the
number of sides of theelement increases by one
continuously.
49. (d) The element at the Centre
displaces the element at
top left corner which
displaces the element at
bottom right which
displaces the element at
top right which displaces
the element at bottom left
which shifts to the top
centre, resulting in the
second figure. The
element at top centre
then shifts to the centre
