REASONING | NON VERBAL Analytical Reasoning | Exercise 1

DIRECTIONS : Count the number of cubes in each of the following figures.

1.
	A.   13 B.   15
	C.   17  D.   19 Ans : A. The figure may be labelled as shown. The horizontal  lines are IJ, AB, EF, MN, HG, DC and LK. i.e., 7 in number. Thus, there are 7 + 6= 13 straight triangles in the given figure.

2.
	A.   5 B.   6
	C.   8  D.  10  Ans : D. We may label the figure as shown. The triangles composed of three components each EBH, AIC, EFC, ADG and BJD i.e., 5 in figure.  Thus, there are 4 + 5= 10 triangles in the given figure.

3.
	A.   16 B.   18
	C.   14 D.   15 Ans : B. We may label the figure as shown. The simplest triangles are BFG, CGH, EFM, FMG, GMN, GHN, HNI, LMK, MNK and KNJ i.e., 10 in figure.  Thus, there are 10 + 2 + 4 + 2= 18 triangles in the given figure.

4.
	A.   9 B.   11
	C.   15 D.   16 Ans :B. We shall label the figure as shown. The horizontal lines are DE, FH, IL and BC i.e. 4 in number. The slanting lines are AC, DO, FN, IM, AB, EM and HN i.e. 7 in number. Thus, there are 4 + 7  = 11 staright lines in the figure.

5.
	A.  11 B.  13
	C.  15 D.  17 Ans : C. The simplest triangles are AKI,AIL,EKD,LFB, DJC, BJC, DHC and BCG I.e. 8 in number.
