figure matrix 3

Introduction

There are rows and columns in the matrix. Horizontal line is called row while the vertical line is called
column. There is a certain relation between the elements of rows and columns. In this type of questions,
a matrix is given in which one space is left blank or denoted by a question mark. Four answer figures
are followed bythe matrix. The candidate has to find out which answer figure willbe replaced by the

question mark.

Example In the following matrix, which of the answer figure will replace the questions mark?.

x + ÷ + ÷ - x

x ? ÷ (a) (b) (c) (d)

x ÷ ÷

Solution (b): Here the relation is in the columns. In the first column, in the (I) row is x, in the (II) row the
design of (I) is enclosed by a circle while in (III) row the design of (II) is enclosed by a square. By
the same relation in Second column in place of ? The design'+'will be enclosed by a circle of.
Hence the answer is (b).
