Directions (36-40): In each of the following questions series beings with unnumbered figure on the extern left. One and only one of the five numbered figures in the series does not fit into the series. The two unnumbered figures one each one the extreme left and the extreme right fit into the series. you have to take as many aspects into account as possible of the figures in the series and find out the one and only one of the five numbered figures which does not fit into the series. The number of that figure is the answer.
36.
Ans. (c) In each subsequent figure the main design rotates through 90° clockwise and the line segment comes out of the main design alternately after moving respectively one and two sides in anticlockwise direction alternately.
37.
Ans. (b) In the subsequent figures the design rotates through 45° and 90° clockwise alternately and half leaflet is added ahead and behind of the main design alternately.
38.
Ans. (b) In each subsequent figure all the designs move half step in clockwise direction and two designs are replaced with new design while in the third step three designs are replaced with new designs.
39.
Ans. (d) In each figure two designs are either outside or inside the main design.
40.
ans. (e) In each subsequent figure all the designs move half step in anticlockwise direction. The triangle rotates through 90° clockwise after every two figures. All other designs change in each subsequent figure and after three figures the same pattern is repeated.
Directions (41-45): In each of the following questions; related pair of figures is followed by five numbered pairs of figures. Select the pair that has a relationship similar to that in the unnumbered pair. The best answer is to be selected from a group of fairly close choices.
41.

42.
Ans. (b) From element I to II the design is mirror image after being rotated through 90° clockwise.
43.
Ans. (c) From element I to II the design is enclosed by another design.
44.
Ans. (e) From element I to II upper design encloses the lower design.
45.
Ans. (d) From element I to II the design is divided in to four equal parts and the lower left part becomes shaded.
Direction (46-50) in each of the questions given below which one of the five answer figure on the right should come after the problem figures on the left, it the question were continued?
46. Problem Figures
Answer Figures Ans. (b) In the subsequent figures respectively two and one more box(es) become(s) shaded alternately and the shading pattern moves three boxes in anticlockwise direction.
47.
Answer Figures Ans.(e) In each subsequent figures the designs move half step in a set pattern and the first and the last designs rotate through 90° clockwise and the middle design rotates through 90° anticlockwise.
48.
Answer Figures Ans. (a) From problem Figure (a) to (b) the first, the third and the fifth designs are inverted from problem Figure (b) to (c) the second, the fourth and the fifth designs are inverted, from Problem Figure (c) to (d) the first, third and the fourth designs are inverted and from Problem Figure (d) to (e) the second, the third and the fifth designs are inverted. Therefore, from Problem Figure (e) to Answer Figure the First, the second and the fourth designs would be inverted.
49.
Answer Figures Ans.(d) In each subsequent figure two adjacent designs interchange positions and other three designs, moves half step.
50.
Answer Figures Ans. (c) From Problem Figure (a) to (b) the two lower designs move diagonally upward, the design and upper left corner moves one step in anticlockwise, the design at upper right corner moves to the centre and a new design appears at the lower right corner, Similar changes occur from Problem Figure (c) to (d) and from Problem Figure (e) to Answer Figure.
