REASONING DOT SITUATION Select the figure which satisfies the same con ditions of placement of the dots as in Figure-X. ‘The questions on Dot Situation involves a chister of three or more geometrical figures usually, triangles, squares, rectangles and circles having one or more dots placed at any point inside the complex figure, This ar AN complex figure is followed by a set of four alemative figures each composed of a cluster of same types of figures. Now, for each dot we have to observe the re- gion in which it ts located. i.e., to: which of the geo- metrical figures this region is common. Then, we look for such a region in the four alteznatives. Once we have found it, we repeat the procedure for other dots, if any. The alternative figure which contains all such regions ts the answer. For counting shapes in an evenly divided shape take the following approach: {@) Start with counting unit shapes which are not ‘composed of other shapes, we can call it Base 1. (b} Now switch to Base 2 or shapes composed of, minimum smaller shapes to form bigger shape. For example, if we need to count squares then 1n this step we need to count squares which are formed of four smaller squares, any lesser rymber will not give you a square. (©) Gradually increase the number of comy shapes till we reach the biggest shape pe (4) Add all the numbers and this fs the @ Drawing the figure in a rough sh ing the shapes with different coloured sive you the right answer. @ Total number of shapes higher side than one api double check the answer to B © One can easil fused between shapes two triangles even though no line ie dividing the shape. jestion take of ote the shape of .
