Multiple Dot Simple Figures

Multiple Dot Problems: The problems on Dot Situation involve a cluster of three or more geometrical figures - usually triangle, square, rectangle or/and circle having one or more dots placed at any point inside the cluster. This cluster is followed by a set of  four alternative figures each composed of a cluster of same type of figures. Now, for each dot we have to observe the region in which it  is enclosed, i.e. to which of the geometrical figures this region is common. Then, we look for such a region in the four alternatives. Once we have found it, we repeat the procedure for other dots, if any. The alternative figure which contains all such regions is the answer. Let us try few examples.

Illustration: In the following question, from amongst the figures marked A, B, C and D, select the one which satisfies the same condition of placement of dot as in figure question.

A

B

C

D

Answer : B

Solution :In the question figure we have three dots let them name as A, B and C as shown in the figure below:

Dot A lies in the circle and triangle.

Dot B lies in triangle and square.

Dot C lies in the square only.

Now let us analyse the option figure one by one

Figure in option A

Dot A is not possible as there is no region which is common only to circle and triangle.

Dot B and Dot C is possible.

Figure in option B

Dot A, Dot B and Dot C is possible. Hence B is the correct answer

Figure in option C

Dot A is not possible as there is no region which is common only to circle and triangle.

Dot B and Dot C is possible.

Figure in option D

Dot A and Dot B is possible.

Dot C is not possible as there is no region which is lies only in the square.
