61. (B) In each subsequent figure one time the three designs remain same and
next time
after shifting one side anticlockwise direction then it remain same position.
Inside shaded
part of the designs form after rotating 90° anticlockwise in the two designs
and forms
after rotating 90° clockwise in a simple square design with this also.
62. (D) In each subsequent figure the outside bigger design ‘<’ forms after
rotating 45°
and 90° anticlockwise respectively and the inside smaller design ‘^’ forms
after rotating
90° and 180° anticlockwise respectively.
63. (E)
64. (A) In each subsequent figure the curved lines on upper side straight
horizontal line
increase in sequence of 2, 3, 1 respectively from left to right and from upper
side to lower
side and one curved line is missing from back side each time. The curved lines
on lower
side straight horizontal line increase in sequence of 3, 4, 2 respectively from
left to right
and from upper side to lower side and is also missing 1 and 2 respectively from
back side.
65. (C) In each subsequent figure the designs shift half side anticlockwise
first and then
one side anticlockwise respectively and a new design forms one by one from back
side
each time then forward side respectively.
66. (E) In each subsequent figure one design forms on upper left side corner first
and then
this design shifts half side, one side and, one and half side clockwise
respectively. These
designs rotate 90° clockwise each time with this change also.
67. (B)
68. (A) In each subsequent figure the curved lines on the upper and lower side
horizontal
lines reverse in sequence one and three in clockwise direction from upper left
respectively.
69. (B) In each subsequent figure the outside half circle forms inside after
reversing and
shifting one side anticlockwise and then it forms outside after reversing on
the same side.
So these sequences continue respectively. The second design square forms once
on next
side anticlockwise after reversing from outside to inside.
70. (E) 71. (A)
72. (C) In each subsequent figure increase in the number of triangles from
upper left
corner beome on the basis of increasing of lines three, four, five, six and
seven lines
respectively.
73. (B)
74. (E) In each subsequent figure the circles form on the place of two-two
stars from
upper left corner. These small circles form on the place of existing stars in
the next two
lines after forming upto lower left as 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively and then
two-two stars
form on the place of circles from back side.
75. (D) In each subsequent figure the ‘square’ forms one side clockwise first
and then
half side anticlockwise respectively. Similarly, the ‘circle’ shifts half side,
one side, one
and half side, two side and two and half side anticlockwise respectively in
each
subsequent figure also
