Figure Series Practice Tests

Figure Series is a key topic in Non-Verbal Reasoning under the General Intelligence section. It is commonly asked in competitive exams like UPSC, SSC, RRB, Banking, and State PSCs to test a candidate’s ability to analyze visual patterns and logical sequences.

In Figure Series questions, a sequence of figures is given where each figure follows a specific pattern or rule. Candidates must identify this pattern and select the next figure, missing figure, or odd figure in the series.

Types of Figure Series Questions:

• Complete the Series: Choose the next figure in the sequence.
• Missing Figure: Identify the missing figure in a given series.
• Odd Figure Out: Find the figure that does not follow the pattern.
• Embedded Patterns: Identify shapes hidden within figures.

Common Patterns in Figure Series:

• Rotation (clockwise/anticlockwise)
• Reflection (mirror images)
• Increase or decrease in number of elements
• Shading or color change
• Movement of shapes or dots
• Combination or separation of figures

Important Tricks:

• Observe changes carefully from one figure to the next.
• Break complex figures into smaller components.
• Check for consistent movement or transformation.
• Eliminate wrong options to save time.

Example:
If a triangle rotates 90° clockwise in each step, identify the next position in the series.

Practicing Figure Series improves visual reasoning, analytical ability, and problem-solving speed, which are essential for scoring high in reasoning sections.
