2.

Group the given figures into three classes using each figure only once.

A.

1,3,9 ; 2,5,8 ; 4,6,7

B.

1,5,8 ; 4,6,7 ; 2,3,9

C.

2,5,9 ; 1,3,8 ; 2,6,7

D.

1,8,9 ; 4,6,7 ; 2,3,5

Correct answer is B

1, 5, 8 are all open figures bisected by a line segment.

4, 6, 7 are all closed figures touching a line segment.

2, 3, 9 are all closed figures intersected by a line.

3.

Group the given figures into three classes using each figure only once.

A.

1,4,7 ; 3,6,9 ; 2,5,8

B.

1,6,9 ; 2,4,7 ; 3,5,8

C.

1,4,7 ; 2,6,9 ; 3,5,8

D.

1,5,7 ; 2,6,9 ; 3,4,8

Correct answer is C

3, 5, 8 have similar designs (four leaves placed close to a small circle and forming a symmetrical design at the centre of the figure).

2, 6, 9 have similar designs (three of the corners of the main figure are shaded black and there is a pattern formed around a '+' sign at the centre of the figure).

1, 4, 7 have similar designs (there are four small circles at(the corners of the main figure and there is a wheel shaped element at the centre of the figure).

4.

1,2,3 ; 4,5,8 ; 6,7,9

B.

1,5,6 ; 2,3,4 ; 7,8,9

C.

1,3,5 ; 2,4,8 ; 6,7,9

D.

1,4,7 ; 2,5,8 ; 3,6,9

Correct answer is B

1, 5, 6 have two similar elements, one inside the other.

2, 3, 4 contain straight lines each dividing, the figure into two equal parts.

7, 8, 9 have one element placed inside a different element.

5.

Group the given figures into three classes using each figure only once.

A.

2,4,7 ; 1,6,9 ; 3,5,8

B.

1,3,5 ; 2,6,7 ; 4,8,9

C.

1,5,7 ; 2,3,6 ; 4,8,9

D.

1,3,5 ; 2,4,7 ; 6,8,9

Correct answer is A

1, 6, 9 are figures which are half shaded by slanting lines.

2, 4, 7 are all divided into equal parts (either three or four parts) by straight lines and also have a black circle at the centre.

3, 5, 8 have similar designs and have their four corners shaded black.
