The purpose of non-verbal reasoning is to meas-ure the reasoning power of candidates. In non-verbal reasoning, instead of words and numbers,diagrams are used for expressing ideas. Youshould carefully study the explanations andexamples. Then you should do the practice test.The best method for increasing your speed and

accuracy, is to do more and more practice testswithin the allowed time.

Non-verbal reasoning is classified into threegroups. They are series, analogy, classification.Most of the questions are from series.Basic ConceptsDirections: -

Clockwise direction (CWD) Anticlockwise direction (ACWD)

Frame

The figures are numbered in this way: -

1 8 7

2 0 6

3 4 5

North-west North east

South-west South-east

North

West East

South

Let us study how an element moves from one

place to another. When it moves from 1 to 2, we saythat the element moves distance in ACW direc-tion, similarly when it moves from 1 to 3, it is called 1distance ACW direction. But when it moves from 1 to8, we say that, the element moves distance CWdirection. Similarly when it moves from 1 to 7, it iscalled 1 distance CW direction.

If we are going to observe it on the basis of

Degree, then it is to be followed as below:-An element moves,

1 to 8450CW direction1 to 7900CW direction1 to 61350CW direction1 to 2450ACW direction1 to 3900ACW direction and so on.

TYPE - 1There should be two sets of figures in se-

ries section. The first one is question set, whichconsists of five figures. The second set is an-

swer set. There are five f igures and is numberedfrom 1 to 5. In the question set five f igures areformed in a particular series you required . Tofind the answer figure from answer choices,which should be the sixth figure.

At first you should observe whether there isany change in the shape or number of elementsin the figures. Sometimes we can see that theelements in the figures move in a particular man-ner. Otherwise one of the elements will be re-placed by a new one. In some cases both thesechanges occur at the same time.

Addition

1.

Ans: (3). Here one + sign is added in A toobtain B and one + sign is added to B toobtain C. The process is repeated again to

obtain D and E. Then one + sign is addedin E, we get the answer figure (3).

2.

Ans. (4). Two vertical bars are added in Aat a time to obtain B. Similarly, two verticallines are added in B, and we get C. Thentwo horizontal bars are added in C to ob-tain D and two horizontal bars are added inD to obtain E. Again two vertical bars areadded in E, we get the f igure (4)as answer.Hence figure (4) continues the series.

3.

In order to obtain the same element, elimi-nate the figure (1) and (5). New elementsare increasing in the order 1, 2, 3, .............in each step. Six new elements shouldcome in the answer figure. So eliminate the

figures (2) and (3). So the answer is (4).4.

Here s and dots are added alternately.The elements increase in an order 1, 2, 3,........... in each step. Six dots should comein the answer figure. So the answer is (1).

5.

Hooks and dots are increasing alternately.So eliminate the figure (3) and (5). Numberof dots in the answer figure should be sameas in E. So eliminate the figure (1) and (2).So the answer is (4)

Deletion of elelments1.

The outer figure loses in each step. In thelast step the innermost figure remains inthe answer figure. So answer is (4).

2.

In the first step, one line is lost from the rightside. In the next step, one line is lost fromthe left side. The process continues. There-fore, the answer is (2).

3.

Here addition and deletion occurs simulta-neously. One dot increases and one linedecreases in each step. Then there shouldbe only dots in the answer figure. Thereforeeliminate the figures (1), (2) and (4). Dotsshould increases in each step. Hence elimi-nate the figure (3). So the answer is (5).

4.

Cross decreases by 2 in each step. Middlefigure will always be new. First you shouldobserve the new figure in middle. This isthe easiest method for solving this type of

questions. By using this method we canselect the figures (1), (2) and (4). Againcross mark decreases by 2 from E in an-swer figure. We can eliminate the figures(1) and (2). So the answer is (4).

5.

At first observe the middle figure. The ?should come at the middle of the answerfigure. Select the answer figures (1) and (3).Then note the number of crosses. Crossdecreases by one in each step. Eliminatethe figure (3). So answer is (1).

MovementAt first watch the direction of movement ofelement. The element moves either in clock-

wise direction or in anticlockwise direction.1.

Ans: (1). Here the + sign moves anticlock-wise direction along the sides of the square.

At first the sign moves 1 distance and thenit moves 1/2 distance. The process contin-ues. Hence answer fig. (1) continues theseries.

2.

In each step, the elements move in a par-

ticular manner. In every step, the secondelement becomes the topmost element.

The topmost element is placed at the bot-tom and the element at the bottom becomes

the second element. Hence figure (2) is theanswer.

3.

The dot and circle move half distance clock-

wise direction. Hence the answer is (5).

4.

The element moves diagonally and gets in-verted in each step. Hence the answer is (2).

5.

x moves clockwise. Hence figure (5) can-

not be the answer. The element at the south-east corner in A is shifted to north-west

corner in B. Then this element is replacedby a new one in C in the same position.

Then this new element is moved to south-east corner in D. Again this element is re-placed by a new one in E in the same posi-

tion. Finally, moved to the north- west cor-ner (1). Hence the figures (2) and (3) can

be ruled out. Similar treatment is done withthe element at the south-west corner in A.

Hence figure (1) continues the series.

Rotation

Watch the direction of rotation of element whileobserving the rotation of elements. They move

either in clockwise direction or in anticlockwisedirection. Then note, how much degree or by

what distance they move. There are two typesof rotation. In the first kind the element is sta-ble while rotating. In the second is, the position

of element changes while rotating.

1.

Arrow rotates in clockwise direct ion. It

moves 450in each step. So the answer is (2).

2.

Here the L shape figure rotates 900anti-clockwise direction.There is the possibilityfor figure (3) or (5). Now consider the numberof dots. The number of dots are same in Aand B. Then one dot increased to obtain C.

The dots remain same in C and D. Thenone dot is increased to obtain E. So figure(5) is eliminated. Hence the answer is (3).

3.

The element rotates 900clockwise direc-tion. So eliminate the figures (1), (3) and(4). The element is shifted to the next cor-ner in CW direction in each step. So elimi-nate the figure (2). Hence answer is (5).

4.

Arrow moves in anticlockwise direction.After every two steps the arrow increasesby one and the arrowhead changes. So theanswer is (2)

5.

The cup shape element rotates 900clock-wise direction and moves 1 place in CWdirection. The arrow moves diagonally.Therefore the answer is (4).

In some cases the positions of elements

interchange along with the change in ele-ments. For example:-

1.

In A, the element at the south-west posi-tion is replaced by a new element as in B

and the position of the other two elementsare interchanged. In B the element at thenorth-west position is replaced by a newelement as in C and the positons of othertwo elements are interchanged. Repeat thisprocess. Thus figure (5) continues the givenseries.

set pattern.2. (2) . In one step one line is added to the left

side and two lines are lost from the right

side. In the next step two lines are added

to the left side and one line is lost from the

right side. These two steps are repeated

alternately.

3. (4) . Plus and dot sign moves 1 sides ACW

in alternate figures. So figures (2), (3) and

(4) are ruled out. The arrow moves ACW

1 sides in even numbered figures and the

arrow rotates 900CW direction in each step.

The figure (1) is ruled out.

4. (5) . The dotted bar moves 900CW in each

step. So figures (1), (2) and (4) are elimi-

nated. The other bar (T-bar) moves ACW

450, 900, 1350, 1800respectively. So figure

(3) is ruled out.

5. (2) . The element at the right end in each

figure is moved to the left end in the next

figure - after rotating 900ACW. The figures

(1), (3) and (5) are eliminated. A new ele-

ment appeared at the right end in each step.

So figure (4) is eliminated.6. (4) . B is the mirror image of A. The next

figure C is the water image of B. These two

steps are repeated alternately.

7. (3) . Half side of the traingle is removed in

CW direction and the figure is rotated 900

ACW direction.

figure is replaced by a new one and all the

figures then rotate one step CW.

21. (3) : The central figure is attached to thedouble bar and the single bar alternately in

the next. The single bar appears two times

continuously with the same element. So,

must appear with the single bar. Middle

element is a new one.

sition from right to left and viceversa in every

second step and changes from o to = to

s to o.

28. (5) : The symbols move downwards along

the diagonal and in each step the lowermost

symbol becomes the uppermost. The tri-

angle gets inverted, the rectangle rotates

PRACTICE TEST

Direction (Qs 1-25): Each of the following ques-

tions begin with an un-numbered figure followedby five figures numbered from 1 to 5 and thenagain an un-numbered figure on the extremeright. These seven figures together form a se-

ries which starts at the first un-numbered figure

and ends at the last un-numbered figure. Oneof these figures does not fit into the series. Thenumber of that figure is the answer.

eg.

1 2 3 4 5

This is again a question on series. Here,

the vertical and horizontal lines are beingdrawn in a set order to form squares. Thenumber of lines added are two, three, four,

six, and seven in figure (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)

and the last unnumbered figure respectively.Note that in figure (4), only five lines should havebeen added. Hence figure (4) is the answer.

1. (1) : Three lines and two lines are addedalternately in a set pattern. So figure (1)contains one line less.

2. (4) : The arrow reverses its direction in onestep and move to the otherside of the cen-tral line in the next step. In figure (4) thedirection of the arrow should be opposite.

3. (5) : All elements in the figure shifted to thenext corner in CW direction and a new sym-bol appears on the top right corner. In figure(5), there should have a new figure in thetop right corner.

4. (4) :The arrow shifted to the next corner ina CW direction and the arrow rotates 900

CW in each step. In figure (4), the arrowshould rotate 900CW.

5. (3) : The upper triangle rotates 900ACW direc-tion in each step. The middle triangle laterallyinverted after every two steps. The lower trian-gle first rotates 450ACW, then 900CW andthen returns to its initial position. In figure (3),the upper triangle should be pointing downwards.

6. (3) : The arrow moves two steps CW direc-tion in each step. But in figure (3) the arrowshould be one step ahead.

7. (4) : The triangle moves two sides in CW direc-

tion in each step. Also the triangle gets lightand dark alternately. In figure (4), the triangleshould be moves to the lower left corner.

8. (3) : One extra line is added to the figure ineach step and the resulting figure in eachstep rotates through 1800and gets invertedalternately.

9. (1) In each step, the white figure becomesblack and moves to the other corner andthe black figure is replaced by a new whitefigure.

10. (2) : The arrow in the middle rotates 900

ACW.11. (4) : The figure rotates, 1350ACW in first,

second, fourth, fifth, ........ step and 450CWin third, sixth, .............. step. The arrowreverses its direction in every second step.

12. (4) : Three lines and two lines are addedalternately in a set pattern. But figure (4)has been obtained by adding four lines to

figure (3). It should thus have two lines less.13. (2) : In each successive pair of frames, the sec-

ond figures is the mirror image of the first one.So the figure (2) does not fit into the series.

14. (3) : In each step, the figure rotates 450anti-clockwise and half a leaf is added in a clock-wise direction. In figure (3), however, the halfpart of a new leaf is added in an ACW direction.

15. (4) : In successive figures one of the dots isreplaced by a new element. Moreover thereplaced set of elements moves anticlock-wise through one position alternately

16. (5) : The L shaped figure moves two steps

clockwise and each time the smaller linegoes to the other side of the longer line.But in figure (5) the f igure should be at theupper left corner of the square.

17. (1) : The arrow moves clockwise and in eachstep it reverses its direction of the arrowmust be opposite to that shown.


18/25

18. (5) : In the series, first the lines connectingthe two ovals are changed to curved.

19. (3) : The arc gets inverted in each step and

moves along the line from the bottom to thetop position, from the top to the middle tothe bottom position. Thus in figure (3) thearc should be inverted.

20. (4) : The figure rotates 1800in each step.21. (5) : The figure moves ACW to steps and

one step alternately and also gets rotated900CW in each step. In figure (5), the fig-ure should face in the opposite direction.

22. (4) : The line along which the symbols berotates 450 ACW in each step. The lastsymbol becomes the first, the f irst one be-comes the second, the second one be-

comes the third and the third one comes tothe fourth position and is replaced by anewone. So , in figurure (4), the circle should

be replaced by a new one.23. (3) : Two and one cups are added alternatelyin CW direction. In figure (3), there shouldbe one more cup.

24. (4) : All the symbols move to the adjacentcorner in an ACW direction and in everysecond step, the symbol that reaches theupper right corner gets replaced by a newone. In figure (4), the symbol x should bereplaced by a new one. ie, triangle.

TYPE -2 : CHOOSING THE MISSING FIGURE IN A SERIES

In this type of questions, two sets of figures

are. The given first set will be the question set

and it consists of five figures, labelled A, B, C,

D, E. The second set is the answer set. There

are five answer choices numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

However the figure at C is missing. The candi-

date is required to choose this figure from the

alternatives 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The number of se-

lected figure is the answer.

The easiest method for choosing the missing

figure is to observe the series from the first and

last figure.

1.

In eg: (1) The lines and dots decrease byone in each step. So the answer is (4).

A B C D E

1 2 3 4 5

2.

At first note the movement. The star moves

one side ACW and the triangle moves oneside CW. So eliminate the figures (1) and(3). Note the rotation of triangle. Trianglemove 900CW. So eliminate the f igures (4)and (5). Hence answer is (2).

3.

In upper right corner of the square, appearsa new figure. The figure (3) can be elimi-nated. The element in the square rotates inan order. So figures (1), (2) and (4) are ruledout. Hence the answer is (5).

17. (4): An arc is added inside the square inone step and it comes out of the squareand reverses its direction in the other step.

Also an arrow is added to the figure in onestep and it gets reversed.

18. (2) : The dot moves half side and one sideof the square alternately ACW and the sym-bols are added before and after the dot inalternate steps.

19. (1) : In each step the rightmost element be-comes the left most and the other elementsmove to the right. The element that reachesthe middle position rotates 900CW whilethe third element gets replaced by a new one.

20. (5) : The outerfigure rotates 900ACW inevery second step.

21. (3) : The arrow gets laterally inverted in everysecond step. The remaining part of the fig-ure rotates through 1800in one step andgets inverted in alternate step. The com-

plete figure moves to the adjacent cornerACW in each step.
