Practice Non Verbal Reasoning questions on Dot Situation, covering the position of dots inside geometric figures, regions formed by intersecting lines, relative dot locations, and identifying the correct figure based on spatial relationships. Each question shows a figure (X) with dots placed in particular regions of overlapping shapes, followed by four figures marked (1), (2), (3) and (4). Select the figure in which the dots can be placed under the same conditions as in figure (X).
Question 1
Select the figure that fulfils the same dot-placement conditions as Figure-X.
