Non Verbal Series - Four Figures

Non-Verbal Series

It consists a series of figures which change according to a fixed logical pattern as we go from one figure to the next. The candidate is identify the pattern and then choose the figure from the options which would be the next to continue the same pattern. Let us consider a few examples to clarify the things.

Four Figure Series: These type of questions are largely similar to those discussed in five figure series concept; the only difference being that in this case, the series or the sequence is indicated by four problem figures and it is required to select a figure from amongst the options, which would follow the problem figure to continue the series.

Illustration:  The following question consists of four problem figures and four options. Select the option which has a figure which will continue the series established by the four problem figures .

A

B

C

D

Answer : B

Solution:  On analysing the figure we see that

  • The difference between the first and the second figure is that the circle has moved to the adjacent portion in anti-clockwise direction.
  • The difference between the second and the third figure is that the square has moved to the adjacent portion in anti-clockwise direction.
  • The difference between the third and the fourth figure is that the circle has moved to the adjacent portion in anti-clockwise direction.
  • So in the next figure the square has moved to the adjacent portion in anti-clockwise direction.because the circle and square are moving alternately. This figure is shown in option B

    Hence B is the correct option.

    Illustration:  The following question consists of four problem figures and four options. Select the option which has a figure which will continue the series established by the four problem figures .

    A

    B

    C

    D

    Answer: C.

    Solution: On analysing the figure we see that

  • The difference between the first and the second figure is that the number of asterisks '*' decrease by one. The small triangle has moved to the next corner of the larger triangle in a clockwise direction and one line is added inside the larger triangle in a clockwise order.
  • The difference between the second and the third figure is that the number of asterisks '*' has again decrease by one. The small triangle has moved to the next corner of the larger triangle in a clockwise direction and one line is added inside the larger triangle in a clockwise order
  • The difference between the third and the fourth figure is  same as given in the earlier step
  • So the general rule explaining the series is that the number of asterisks '*' decrease by one in each step. The small triangles moves to the next corner of the larger triangles in a clockwise direction . One line is added inside the larger triangle in a clockwise order in each step .The figure which satisfies the rule is figure C

    Hence C is the correct option.

    Question : 2

    Directions : In the following questions, there are two sets of figures - the problem figures and the answer figures. The problem figures are presentedin two units. The first unit contains two figures, the second unit contains figure and a question mark. You have to find out which one of the answer figures marked (1) to (4) should come in place of the question mark (?) .
