analogy
medium
There is a certain relationship between the pair of figures on the either side of ::. Identify the relationship on the left pair and find the missing figure.
Answer: C
On the left, two overlapping triangles (3 sides) become two overlapping squares (4 sides). On the right, two overlapping pentagons (5 sides) must come from shapes with 4 sides, so the missing figure is two overlapping squares.
5
pattern-completion
medium
Which of the following figures will complete the pattern in the given figure?
Answer: B
The bottom-right part must be the mirror image of the bottom-left part: the curve runs from the right edge down to the bottom-left corner, and the small corner square is at the bottom right with its outer half (upper-right) shaded. Only option B matches.
6
mirror-image
easy
Select the correct mirror image of the given figure, if the mirror is placed vertically to the right.
Answer: D
With the mirror on the right, the letters appear in the order T, I, K and each letter is flipped left to right but stays upright. T and I look the same; K faces the other way. So the answer is D.

counting-lines
hard
Find the total number of slanting lines in the given figures.
Answer: D
Windmill: each of the 4 blades has 3 slanting sides, so 4 × 3 = 12.
Face: the big triangle has 2 slanting sides, each eye has 2 and the nose has 2, so 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8.
Total = 12 + 8 = 20.
