- Few overlapping shapes or figures are given, and one or more dots are marked in the figure.
- Each figure represents people, objects, numbers having same characteristics .
- We must identify the position or the region in which dots are marked.
- For e.g., if a dot is put in the region which is common to circle and square (only) as shown in the figure, then we must identify a figure from the given options, which has some region common between circle and square (only) and at least some of its part doesn’t overlap with any other shape (set).
- There will be no dots marked in the options. We are expected look for a figure from the given options, in which same situation is depicted.
Question 1)
Select a figure from options which represents the same situation as the figure given below.
Solution: Option B
- Check Situation 1- In main fig there is one dot in the region common to circle and triangle only.
In all the options (a,b,c,d ) there is some region common to triangle and circle.
1st situation is satisfied by all the options.
- Check Situation 2- In the main fig there is one dot in the region common to square and triangle only.
In options a, c and d there is no region common to triangle and square only .The regions that are common to triangle and square lie within the circle.
In option b there is some region which is common to triangle and square only and doesn’t lie in the circle.
2nd situation is satisfied by option b only .
Option B satisfies both the situations.
Question 2)
Select the option which satisfies the same conditions of placement of dots as in figure below.
Solution: Option C
The dots are placed in a region common to
- Triangle & Circle only – this region is present only in option C.
- Rectangle & Circle only – this region is present in all the options.
Option C satisfies both the conditions.
Question 3)
Select the option with same dot situation
Solution: Option a)
The dots are placed in a region common to
- Triangle & circle only- this region is present in option a) only.
- Rectangle & circle only- this region is present in all the above options.
Option A satisfies both the conditions.
