1. Pattern Perception:
In the Pattern Perception category of questions, an incomplete figure is given and a quarter
part of the complete figure is missing. All you have to do is to choose the correct missing
segment from the choices given in the options. This chosen part should exactly fit into this
blank missing portion of the figure and make it a complete one.
Example:
Question:
Select from the alternatives, the figure (X) that exactly fits in the main figure to complete its
original pattern.
Answer:
In the given question, by observation we can say that the shaded leaf is moved in a
clockwise direction. Hence, option (b) is correct.

We can get the questions of the following types in this given topic:
Example:
Question:
A set of five figures (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) are followed by four combinations as the
alternatives. Select the alternative which represents the combination of figures if filled
together, will form a complete triangle.
(a) BCD
(b) ABD
(c) CDE
(d) ABE
Solution:

The resultant figure will be a triangle if the figures A, B and E are fitted together.
3. Counting of Figures:
We are given a shape or figure in ‘counting of figures’ type of questions. In the given shape,
we have to identify the number of times the given known shape is present.
It will be easier if you number or mark all the vertices or the point of intersections in the
given figure as the alphabets and then count the total number of known shapes.
Example:
Solution: First of all, label all the vertices and point of intersections as,
The triangles can be counted as (B F G), (C G H), (E F M), (F M G), (G M N), (G H N), (H N I), (L
M K), (M N K), and (K N J). Total number of triangles is 10.
