VISUAL REASONING

Directions: Find the missing character from among the given alternatives.
Ex:1

(a)625 (b)25 (c)125 (d)156
Sol: clearly
so missing number
Hence , the answer is (a).

Ex:2

(a)25 (b)37 (c)41 (d)47
Sol: Clearly in fig
In fig
In fig (B) , missing number .
Hence the answer is (c)

Ex:3

(a)115 (b)130 (c)135 (d)140
sol: Clearly the number inside the circle is equal to the sum of the product of
the upper three numbers and the product of the lower three numbers. Thus,
In fig (A)
In fig (B)
In fig (c), missing answer =
Hence the answer is (b).
Ex:4

(a)5 (b)4 (c)3 (d)2
Sol: Clearly in the second column, 22+2-23=1
In the third column, 40+5-43=2
In the first column, missing number = 21+1-20=2
Hence, the answer is (d).

Ex:5

(a)11 (b)6 (c)3 (d)2
Sol: Clearly in the first column,
In the second column,
Let the missing number in the third column be .
Then ,
Hence the answer is (c).

DICE

Example :1.Which symbol will be on the face opposite to the face with symbol * ?
* vd;w FwpaPl; bw;F vjpNu cs; sJ vJ?


a.@ b.$ c. 8 d. +
Answer: C

Explanation:
The symbols of the adjacent faces to the face with symbol * are @, -, + and $. Hence
the required symbol is 8.

Example :2. Two positions of dice are shown below. How many points will appear on
the opposite to the face containing 5 points?
,uz; L ntt; NtW epiyfis nfhz; l xU gfil nfhLf; fg; gl; Ls;sJ. 5
Gs; spfis nfhz;l gf; fj; jpw; F vjpNu vj; jid Gs; spfs; cs; sd?


a.3 b. 1 c. 2 d. 4
Answer: D
Explanation:
In these two positions one of the common faces having 1 point is in the same
position. Therefore according to rule (2). There will be 4 points on the required face.

Example :
3.Which digit will appear on the face opposite to the face with number 4?
4 vd; w gf; fj; jpd; vjpNu cs; s vz; vJ?

a. 3 b. 5 c. 6 d. 2/3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Here the common faces with number 3, are in same positions. Hence 6 is opposite to
2 and 5 is opposite to 1. Therefore 4 is opposite to 3.


Example : 4. Two positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on
the face opposite to the face with the number 5?
5 vd; w gf; fj; jpw; F vjpNu cs; s vz; vJ?

a. 2/6 b. 2 c. 6 d. 4
Answer: C

Explanation:
According to the rule no. (3), common faces with number 3, are in same positions.
Hence the number of the opposite face to face with number 5 will be 6.

Example :5. How many points will be on the face opposite to in face which contains 2
points?
,uz; L Gs; spfSf; F vjpNu vj; jid Gs; spfs; cs; sd?


a. 1 b. 5 c. 4 d. 6
Answer: D
Explanation:
In first two positions of dice one common face containing 5 is same. Therefore
according to rule no. (3) the face opposite to the face which contains 2 point, will
contains 6 points.
