Non Verbal Analogy - Questions and Answers

Video on Non Verbal Analogy

Analogy - "A comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification."

In question, there is a set of figure given, we have to find out similarity or relation between first two figures and find out 4th missing figure (From given options) in respect to the 3rd figure.
We have to compare one thing and another for getting our answer.

Importance of topic

These types of questions are asked in almost every reasoning based exam like, CAT, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, CMAT, GMAT, CET, Clerical, SSC CGL, etc.

Pre-requisites

  • You should have knowledge about Clockwise and Anti-clockwise direction along with degrees.
  • You should know about different types of shapes.
  • Detailed observation skill is recommended.

Types of Questions

A) Rotation of Figure

In this type of question, resultant figure (Whole figure or Some part of figure) is rotated by some degree and in specific direction like, 90° Clockwise or 180°Anti-Clockwise.

We have to find out direction and degree of analogy and have to relate it with our question for getting answer.

Examples:

i) Find out missing figure (?) of the problem from the given answer figures.

B) Dislocation of Figure

In this type of question, we have to concentrate on entire figure or some part of the figure which has been dislocated.
