Here are tips for some important topics of Military Aptitude
Sequence Completion
The figures given below follow a series. Out of these figures A, B, C and D which figure will replace the question mark so that the series remains continued?
Solution: In each next figure the already presents lines start to deplete with the figures at their end being deleted. Also, a new line is added with title lined at its ends. The titled lines increase in each figure. Hence, the correct answer should be an option (A)
Missing Figure:
In the following question what will come in place of the question mark so that the figures are in series.
Solution: The figures become half and become detached in the alternative figures. Hence the question makes will be replaced by two rectangles aligned horizontally and at a distance from each other.
Analogy:
In the following question the two figures on the left of ‘::’ follow the relationship. Which figure should replace the ‘?’ so the figures on the right of ‘::’ should follow the same relationship?
Solution: The First figure has a triangle inside a square. In figure 2 the square comes inside the triangle, also the square is placed at the centre of the triangle. Similarly, in the 3rd figure, the triangle is given inside a pentagon. So in figure 4, the Pentagon should be inside the triangle and also the triangle should be exactly at the centre of the triangle. Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
Mirror Image or horizontal Plane is a new addition part in non-verbal reasoning:
Have you ever seen your face in the mirror?
The simple logic is that in a mirror the right hand becomes left and the left hand becomes right (the top upper level and down lower level remains the same). Just keep this much in mind and it will do the trick.
