Abstract Reasoning: Pattern Recognition

Introduction to Abstract Reasoning Questions

• The session is centered around solving abstract reasoning questions from a daily practice PDF.
• The session is part of an MBA preparation series, with emphasis on self-solving then reviewing solutions.
• Join the Telegram group to have access to daily drill PDFs, as encouraged in the session.
• There is information about an MSCT crash course and mock tests available in the video description.

Question 1: Pattern Recognition

• Identify which pattern from the right belongs to the group of images displayed on the left.
• Each image in the group has two dots, this factor should eliminate one option.
• The images contain lines made of five squares, eliminating another choice from consideration.
• The dots in the pattern are not adjacent, leading to the selection of the correct answer.

Question 2: Analogy Based Reasoning

• Establish the relationship between the first set of images, and then to the second image.
• The image contains three lines of varying lengths, specifically medium, high, and low, that switch places, the third element remains the same.
• The vertical line will be positioned on the left side, while the third element doesn't undergo any change.
• A line appears somewhat thick, accompanied by a slight gap, resulting in the creation of a mirror image.
• A mirror image is formed because the thick line was initially on the right-hand side and is now on the left-hand side.

Question 3: Series Completion

• The elements exhibit movement in an anticlockwise direction.
• The triangle shifts position from one location to another, tracing a path downwards and then to the side.
• The solution consists of a triangle on the right hand side.

Question 4: Embedded Figure Identification

• Identify a c-shaped element within a triangle.
• The desired curve needs to have a specific shape, and some options won't have it.
• The correct figure will have a curve with a line, that can form a triangle with the rest of the figure.

Question 5: Odd One Out

• Shapes are rotated in different directions, identify the odd one out.
• The shapes incorporate elements such as Bottom, Head/Top, Left, and Right.
• The other images show the rotation of the same image, however the black part is on the left instead of the right.

Question 6: Counting Squares

• Count the straight squares individually, totaling seven.
• Count the slanting squares individually, totaling four, but in total there are sic slanting squares.
• It is also necessary to Combine a square, which involves the combination of four individual squares.

Question 7: Series With Element Changes

• The elements move in an anticlockwise direction, involving three distinct elements.
• The first two elements undergo a swapping of positions, subsequently transforming into a new element in the subsequent image.
• After the two elements are swapped, this new element should be located in a specific position.

Question 8: Dual Mirror Image

• Form a water image first, and then form a mirror image.
• Start by identifying the water image, and subsequently finding the mirror image.

Question 9: Figure Completion

• Fulfill the task of completing the missing portion of the figure.
• Note that inverted triangles are present, and ensure they are included in all instances.
• Pay attention to the hards that should follow a pattern of white, black, and white.
• The stars need to be located on the right-hand side, and they also need to be inverted for the solution.

Question 10: Paper Unfolding

• Paper folding and unfolding can have too many elements, take note of each one.
• This question is symmetry-based, whatever appears on one side is reflected on the other sides.

Question 11: Embedded Figure

• Identify the presence of a right triangle within the shape.
• Ensure that the triangle is fully closed at its top.

Question 12: Square Construction

• Form a square through the combination of three distinct parts, choosing from the provided Alternatives.
• Evaluate the options one by one to determine the most suitable response.

Question 13: Shape Similarity

• The combination of two inner shapes and a square necessitates the presence of four dots.
• The outer inner components and the dots need to be equal in number.

Question 14: Relation Establishment

• Establish a relationship that mirrors the one found in the initial image for the next image.
• Extend the central line, while making sure the top and lower parts remain the same without any changes.

Question 15: Counting Triangles

• There is usually one medium-sized triangle and one larger triangle, so begin counting the small triangles.
• There may be lines that aren't straight, it is important to avoid counting those triangles.

Question 16: Next Image In Series

• KP KP KP, KP should maintain its form throughout the series.
• KP remains constant, while the remaining letters undergo changes.

Question 17: Paper Unfolding Continued

• Take note of how the shape appears on the surface and pinpoint the occurrences in the center.
• The figure contains an oval shape, an inner oval, and a connection between the 4 sides.

Question 18: Figure Completion Continued

• The completed figure should show both white and black elements.
• Determine is there is an inverted heart, two options will remain for the heart.

Question 19: Odd One Out Continued

• If a shape is positioned with the diagonal, it should be situated on the side of the diagonal.
• Shapes that are not positioned next to the diagonal, making them the odd figures out.

Question 20: Similar Relationships

• Five, Four, Zero, or Triangle, Square, Circle, Square.
• Three four five zero, therefore hexagon pentagon Square ect.
