Introduction

Finding identical figures is a fundamental part of visual intelligence. In this topic, students are presented with a "Question Figure" and four "Answer Figures." The goal is to identify the one figure that is exactly the same as the question figure in every detail, including shape, orientation, and internal markings.

In Identical Figure analysis, you must compare every line, dot, and angle to find the exact match.

Explanation Step by Step

This sub-topic focuses on sharp observation. To solve these, you must look at the question figure as a whole and then break it down into smaller parts. Compare the direction of lines, the number of dots, and the placement of symbols. Even a tiny difference makes an option incorrect.

Analysis of Figure - Exact replica of the figure

A replica is a carbon copy. There is no rotation or reflection involved in this specific sub-topic; the figure must look exactly the same as the original.

Examples

Example 1

 

Step 1: Observe the given reference figure carefully. Note the shape, angles, and arrangement of parts.

Step 2: Compare each option (1), (2), (3), and (4) with the reference figure.

Step 3: Check if any figure is just rotated (allowed) and not a mirror image (not allowed).

Step 4: Match the position and orientation of all elements (lines, curves, angles).

Step 5: Eliminate figures that have extra, missing, or misplaced parts.

Final Answer: The above figure option 2 is identical.
