Ans. From the figure : Q. 13. The radius of a circle is 7 cm. Find
∠ AOC + ∠ COD + ∠ DOB = 180° its Diameter, Area and Circumference.
∴ ∠ COD + ∠ AOC + ∠ DOB = 180° Ans. Radius = 7 cm
∴ ∠ COD + 85° = 180° Diameter = 2 × 7
∴ ∠ COD = 180° – 85° = 14 cm

⇒ 2x° = 90° – x° Rs. 795. Find his profit or loss.
⇒ x° + 2x° = 90° Sol. Cost of 6 chairs = 6 × 90

∴ x° = 30° Cost of painting = 10 × 6
Angle = 30°, = Rs. 60
Its complement angle = 90° – 30° Total cost = 540 + 60

in the case of profit ∴ Actual profit = Rs. 1600 + 1500

NON-VERBAL SERIES
This Chapter deals with questions in which series of figures is given. The figures in this series are
kept with a certain rule, each further figure follows the rule or series follows a certain rule throughout.
On the left hand side a pattern of figures is given with a question mark (?) and on the right hand side
four answered figure (A) , (B) , (C) and (D) are given. Candidates are required to learn this pattern and
either complete the series with the most suitable alternative selected by you from the given four
answered figures . Some important examples are solved for you , so that you may learn the patterns and
its rules .
For Example
I . In the following question figure I has some relationship with figure II, figure III has the same
relationship with figure IV. Choose the figure from alternatives (A), (B), (C) and (D) which has the
same relationship with figure III.
Hence, the answer figure (C) is obtained. Therefore , the correct answer is (C).
2. In the following problem three figures and a question-mark (?) is given on the left hand side and
four alternatives are given to the right hand side. The three figure on left hand follow a pattern
( rule) . On the basis of this pattern choose the correct alternative which will come at the place of
question-mark (?)
Explanation In each successive problem figure a line surplus in the rectangle alternatively to
-
opposite corners and the small circles on the vertices of the rectangle move to further corner with the
same rule the answer figure (A) is obtained .
36S I Intelligence
3 . In the following problem figures one is different to other there i.e., other three belong to a same
group . Find out that one who does not belong to the same group .
Explanation- C learly, the figure (B) does not belong the group, because the black dot is opposite
to the small two parallel lines on the line of triangle. But it is not in the other figure. Therefore, the
correct answer is (B).
Exercise
Directions- In each of the questions from 1 to 1 5 there is some relation between two figures to the
left of : : and the same relationship exists between the two figures to its right. In each question one
figure is missing. This figure is one of answer figures . Find out this figure .
