The Reasoning and Military Aptitude Test section of the AFCAT 2 2025 exam will includes Figure Completion questions. These questions assess your ability to identify patterns, visualize transformations, and deduce the missing part of a given figure or series. Mastering them can significantly boost your score.
Understanding Figure Completion Questions:
In these questions, you’ll be presented with a partially completed figure, or a series of figures where one is missing. Your task is to select the option that best completes the pattern or series.
Key Strategies for Figure Completion:
- Analyze the Pattern Type:
- Rotation: Is the figure rotating (clockwise or anti-clockwise) by a certain degree?
- Reflection: Is the figure being mirrored (vertically or horizontally)?
- Movement: Are elements within the figure moving (e.g., from corner to corner, in a specific sequence)?
- Addition/Subtraction: Are elements being added or removed in a sequence?
- Size Change: Are parts of the figure increasing or decreasing in size?
- Shading/Filling: Is there a pattern in how parts are shaded or filled?
- Combination of Rules: Often, more than one rule is applied simultaneously.
- Break Down the Figure: If a figure is complex, focus on one element at a time. How does the square change? How does the dot move? What happens to the lines?
- Identify the Core Logic: Once you’ve analyzed the changes in individual elements, try to identify the overarching logic that connects them. Is it a numerical sequence, an alphabetical pattern, or a geometric progression?
- Use the Process of Elimination:
- Look for options that clearly violate the identified pattern.
- If you’re unsure, narrow down the choices by eliminating the least likely ones.
- Visualize and Sketch (If Needed): For complex rotations or paper-folding type problems, try to visualize the transformation mentally. If necessary, make a quick rough sketch on your scratch paper to track changes.
- Practice Regularly: This is key. The more you practice, the quicker you’ll recognize common patterns and develop your visual reasoning skills.
Practice Scenario:
By systematically analyzing patterns and practicing consistently, you can enhance your accuracy and speed in solving Figure Completion questions in AFCAT 2 2025.
