Series
Each of the following questions consists of five figures marked A, B, C, D and E called the Problem Figures followed by five other figures marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 called the Answer Figures. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

Answer: Option E Explanation: In one step, the two elements interchange positions and the smaller element gets enlarged while the larger element gets reduced in size. In the next step, the smaller element is replaced by a new small element and the larger element is replaced by a new large element.

Answer: Option C Explanation: The elements move in the sequences
 and  alternately. Also, in each step, the element that reaches the encircled position, gets replaced by a new element. |
| 3. |

Answer: Option C Explanation: In each step, one dot is lost while another dot is replaced by a cross.
|
| 4. |

Answer: Option C Explanation: In each step, the symbols move in the sequence
 and the symbol that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new one. |
| 5. |
|

Answer: Option B Explanation: All the elements move one space ACW (each space is equal to a quadrant of the circle) and get inverted in each step.

| 6. | Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures. Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
 (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) |

Answer: Option C Explanation: In each step, the elements move in the order
 |
| 7. | Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures. Problem Figures: Answer Figures:
 (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) |
|||||||||
Answer: Option C Explanation: All the elements together move one space to the right in each step and once they reach the rightmost position, then in the next step, they move to the leftmost position. Also, in the first step, the first (uppermost) and the third elements interchange positions; in the second step, the second and the fourth elements interchange positions and in the third step, none of the elements interchange positions. These three steps are repeated to continue the series.
