Introduction
The 'Figure Pattern' topic involves identifying a specific sequence or rule followed by a set of images. Students must observe the changes between consecutive figures to predict the next one.
Explanation Step by Step
To solve figure pattern questions, analyze the following:
- Change in Quantity: Addition or subtraction of lines, dots, or symbols.
- Rotation: Figures moving Clockwise or Anti-clockwise at specific angles (45°, 90°, 180°).
- Position Shift: Elements moving up, down, left, or right within the frame.
Sub-topics
Figure Pattern
Focus on the relationship between the first three figures. Identify whether the change is in shape, size, orientation, or count.
Examples

Tricks and Shortcuts
Use the 'Elimination Method'. Look at one element of the figure at a time and eliminate options that do not follow the identified rule for that element.
Common Mistakes
Confusing clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation is a common error. Ensure you track the movement of a single corner or symbol carefully.
