Question

A series of figures are given that can be classified into groups. Which of the following options shows the correct classification?

• A. (1, 2, 3); (4, 5, 6); (7, 8, 9)
• B. (5, 6, 9); (4, 7, 8); (1, 2, 3)
• C. (1, 5, 9); (3, 4, 8); (2, 6, 7)
• D. (3, 6, 9); (1, 5, 8); (2, 4, 7)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (1, 5, 9); (3, 4, 8); (2, 6, 7)

If you closely observe the figures,

Figures 1, 5, and 9 ⇒ Consist of curved lines only

Figures 3, 4, and 8 ⇒ Consist of both straight and curved lines

Figures 2, 6, and 7 ⇒ Consist of straight lines only

Thus, the correct way to classify these images would be (1, 5, 9); (3, 4, 8); (2, 6, 7)
