Question

A series of figures are given that can be grouped into classes. Select the group into which the figures can be classified from the given responses.

• A. 1, 3 | 4, 6 | 2, 5
• B. 1, 2 | 3, 5 | 4, 6
• C. 1, 3 | 2, 6 | 4, 5
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1, 3 | 2, 6 | 4, 5


Clearly, figures 1 and 3 are leaves. These can be catagorised into one group.

Figures 2 and 6 are made up only by straight lines. Hence, 2 and 6 can be added in a group.

Figures 4 and 5 can be added in a group because these shapes are made up with straight lines and curves.

Hence, the grouping will be:
1, 3 | 2, 6 | 4, 5
