Shapes are very crucial in Non-Verbal Reasoning
Samples of different shapes.
Tip: You’ll often have to think about more than one shape.
Shapes have different number of sides
All of these are triangles in different forms.
Tip: Some shapes of same type look different as above.
Shapes have different number of sides
All of these are hexagons with six sides each.
Tip: Some shapes look really different but are of same type.
You’ll need to count the sides of the different shapes
The number of sides in each shape increases by one.
Tip: Such observations will be important in questions on Series.
The sides of a shape could be important
All of the shapes are triangles except the second one.
Tip: Shapes might be different because they have different number of sides.
The sides of a shape could be important
All of the shapes have same length except the second one.
Tip: Shapes might be different because they have different length of Sides.
The size of a shape could be important
All of the shapes have same size except the last one.
Tip: A shape might have different size even though it may have same number of sides.
Some shapes are symmetrical
The above shapes when folded across dotted line, overlap perfectly.
Tip: Shapes which overlap perfectly when folded about center line are called symmetrical about the line.
