R.K.MALIK'S NEWTON CLASSES JEE (MAIN & ADV.), MEDICAL + BOARD, NDA, IX & X Figure Series ‘This section deals with the problems based upon the continuation of figures. ‘there are various types of problems on series. However, the fundamental concept for each type is the same. There is a sequence of figures depicting a change step by step. Either one of these figures is out of order and has to be omitted or figure has tobe selected from a separate set of figures, which would continue the series. I. Five-Figure Series This type of problem on series consists of five figures numbered A, B, C, D and E forming the set of Problem Figures, followed by five other figures numbered 1, 23,4 and 5 forming the set of Answer Figures. The five consecutive Problems Figures form a definite sequence and its required to select one of the figures fyom the set of Answer Figures which wil continue the same sequence SOLVED EXAMPLES Ex.1 Problem Figures H Answer Figures Sol, The figure rotates 90° CW in each step and half line segment and one complete line segment is added to the figure alternately. Clearly fig, (1) is the answer, PERE PRS 7 4S “The shading moves two spaces CW and three spaces CW alternately. Clearly, fig. (4) is the Ann on OZ Vv The smaller arrow rotates through 90° ACW and 45 ACW alternately while the larger arrow rotates through 135 CW in each step. Hence, the answer i figure (4), rs io + |o In each step, the circle moves to the adjacent comer (of the square boundary) in the ACW direction while the other element moves to the adjacent corner in a CW direction. ‘Therefore, figure (4) is the answer. (Choosing the Missing figure in a Series Insuch questions, you are given aset of five (or four) figures labelled A, B, C, D and E, which are called Problem Figures that follow a certain sequence and hence form a series. However, one ofthese five figures is missing and is indicated by a question mark ‘7, A figure is to be selected from another set of five figures labelled 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 called Answer figures, which would replace the question markso as to establish the series mie f ly, two rectangles are added to the figure in ‘each step so as to form stairs. There should be five rectangles in figure (C). So, fig.

So the answer is () 2 ‘The figure gets inverted in each step and new clements are added to the RHS and the LHS portions of the figure, alternately. Hence, fg. (3) T I is the answer. a BG D Fi Io [J oa i 1234 Sol. Clearly, one line is increased with upper and ter two lines. So the anseris (1 1 z 3 4 5 ie ‘One half sphere is increasing with change in direction 90° so the Answer is (5).
