Non-Verbal Reasoning – Series & Steps to Solve Easily

(Based on Dr. R.S. Aggarwal’s approach)

1. What is a Non-Verbal Series?

A Non-Verbal Series consists of a sequence of figures, patterns, or symbols that follow a logical rule. The challenge is to identify the pattern and predict the next figure.

2. Types of Non-Verbal Series

1. Shape-Based Series – Figures change in size, shape, or structure.
2. Rotation-Based Series – Figures rotate in a specific pattern (clockwise/anticlockwise).
3. Number-Based Series – Dots, lines, or elements increase/decrease.
4. Mirror/Water Image Series – Transformation based on reflections.
5. Mixed Pattern Series – A combination of changes in shape, size, or position.

3. Steps to Solve Any Non-Verbal Series Question Easily

Step 1: Observe the Changes Carefully

• Check if shapes, sizes, numbers, or orientations are changing.

Step 2: Identify the Pattern

• Increasing/Decreasing: Is the number of elements increasing or decreasing?
• Rotation: Is the figure rotating (e.g., 90° or 180°)?
• Mirroring/Flipping: Is the figure a reflection of the previous one?

Step 3: Find the Rule

• Look for mathematical or logical progression (e.g., doubling, halving).

Step 4: Predict the Next Figure

• Apply the same rule to get the missing figure.

Step 5: Eliminate Wrong Choices

• If given multiple options, eliminate those that don’t fit the pattern.

4. Example Questions & Solutions

Example 1: Shape Progression

Series:
Solution: The pattern alternates between  and , so the next shape is .

Example 2: Rotation-Based

 A figure rotates 90° clockwise in each step.
Solution: The next figure should be rotated 90° again.

Example 3: Increasing Elements

 1 dot → 2 dots → 3 dots → ?
Solution: The pattern increases by +1 dot each time, so the next figure will have 4 dots.

5. Quick Tips for Non-Verbal Series Questions

Look for repetitive patterns (shape, size, number, position).
Check rotations (Clockwise/Anti-clockwise).
Eliminate wrong options first.
Practice daily to increase speed and accuracy.
