6. 8eshma appeared for a maths exam. he was given 6BB problems to solve. he tried to solve all of them correctly but some went
wrong. +ut she scored FA. Her score was calculated by subtracting two times the no. of wrong answers from the no .of correct
answers. How many problems did 8eshma do correctly2

&LASSIFI&ATION IN FIGRES
,.at is &"assi2i*ati#n in Fi)ures
1lassification means systematic placement in categories. "he classification of figure denotes putting a given set of figures in a
speciali7ed group because of similarities in their design, structure, ingredients, quantity, direction or division. "he figure that does not
fit in the classification established is singled out as odd, different or dissimilar.
1lassification is different from analogy. &n analogy, one figure is related to another in a certain way. &n classification, a set of figures
forms a group due to a common similarity. &n analogy the relation is like a chain i.e., the first figure r related to the second and third to
the fourth. &n classification, the relation is line a cluster i.e., there is a common similarity that classifies a set of figures into a group.
"he questions on classification are the 9dd %an 9ut type. !ach question consists of a set of figures of which all but one can be
grouped together due to some common similarity. "he candidate has to find the figure that does not belong to that group.

'ire*ti#ns: &n each of the following questions five *roblem .igures marked 4a3 to 4e3 are given. .our out of them can be classified into a
group due to certain similarity common to them. 9ne out of them, however, is different or the odd man out. .ind that odd figure and

TYPE 4 : FIN'ING A FIGRE SIMILAR TO THE GI%EN LONE FIGRE
&n this type of questions, one unnumbered figure is given followed by five figures marked 4a3 to 4e3. "he candidate has to find the figure
that is similar to the unnumbered figure.
As the problem figure is singular, there is no established similarity or classification. "he candidate has to focus on the structural aspect
and find out the similar figure. "his is considered the easiest question in figure classification. +ut it should not be taken lightly because
it needs concentration. %oreover, the difference between other figures and the similar figure is, at times very small or minute and the
figures cannot be distinguished with casual look.

which is similar to the unnumbered figure. )eal each question independent of others and find the similar figure.
