26. (c) All the designs move inclockwise direction in

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)

can be seen in the figure.

Similar changes occur

from Problem (c) to (d).34. (b) This problem is based on

the rule a=c=e and b=d.

35. (a) In each subsequent figure,

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

second position.

37. (b) In every figure on the top

and bottom one line has

been added subsequently.

38. (d)

39. (a) Here in each step outer

figure's size has been

reduced and becomesinside figure. Again in 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


bottom right which


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


28/32


28

and the pairs of elements

in the top row and

bottom row interchange

places within themselves,resulting in the third

figure, after which the

above cycle continues.

Thus, the next position

would be as per the

answer figure (d).
