24.

Select a suitable figure from the four alternatives that would complete the figure matrix.

A.

1

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

Correct answer is B

In each row, the first figure is rotated through 90o CW to obtain the second figure and the second figure is rotated through 90o CW to obtain the third figure.

25.

Select a suitable figure from the four alternatives that would complete the figure matrix.

A.

1

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

Correct answer is D

There are 3 types of faces, 3 types of hands and 3 types of legs. Each type is used once in each row! So, the features not used in the first two figures of the third row would together form the missing figure.
