Figure and Relation
Figure and Relation questions test non-verbal reasoning ability by requiring identification of patterns in shapes, diagrams, and spatial transformations.
Practice MCQs for Figure and Relation
Fundamental Principles
Non-Verbal Reasoning
A type of reasoning that uses visual patterns, diagrams, and shapes instead of words or numbers.
Figure Pattern
A repeated or transformed visual structure that follows a specific rule such as rotation, reflection, or shading change.
Essential Formulation Tips
- Observe changes in direction, rotation, and symmetry carefully.
- Compare each figure step-by-step instead of looking at the whole sequence.
- Focus on one feature at a time (shape, shading, position).
Shortcut Execution Techniques
- Check for 90°, 180°, or 360° rotations first.
- Look for mirror symmetry or flipped images.
- Break complex figures into simple components.
Contextual Inquiries (FAQs)
Q: How do I improve speed in figure-based questions?
A: Practice recognizing common transformations like rotation, mirroring, and pattern repetition regularly.
Example Breakdown: Rotation Pattern
Step 1: 90° rotation
Step 2: 180° rotation
Step 3: 270° rotation (next step)
Answer: 270° rotated square
Example Breakdown: Mirror Image
Flip the shape along vertical axis.
Reverse left and right orientation.
Match correct reflected figure.

Next is Hexagon (6 sides)
Answer: Hexagon
Example Breakdown: Shading Pattern
Observe alternating pattern of shading.
Predict next based on alternation rule.
Example Breakdown: Position Change
Track dot movement step by step.
Apply clockwise rotation rule.
Predict next position accurately.
