Q.1 Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure.   A) 16B) 17C) 18D) 19Ans. B The horizontal lines are IK, AB, HG and DC i.e. 4 in number.The vertical lines are AD, EH, JM, FG and BC i.e. 5 in number.The slanting lines are IE, JE, JF, KF, DE, DH, FC and GC i.e. 8 is number.Thus, there are 4 + 5 + 8 = 17 straight lines in the figure. Q.2 Choose the correct water image of the given figure (X) from amongst the four alternatives.   A) 1B) 2C) 3D) 4Ans. B Q.3 Observe the dots on a dice (one to six dots) in the following figures. How many dots are contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots?   A) 2 B) 3 C) 6 D) Can’t be determined Ans. AWe shall assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that the 5 dots appear at the same position as in fig. (i) i.e. on RHS face (i.e. on face II as per activity 1) and 1 dot appears at the same position as in fig; (i) i.e. on Front face (i.e. on face I). Then, from the, two figures, 2 dots appear on the top face (i.e. on face V) and 4 dots appear on the Bottom face (i.e. on face VI).Since, these two faces are opposite to each other, therefore, two dots are contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots. Q.4 Choose the correct water image of the given figure (X) from amongst the four alternatives.    A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 Ans. B Q.5 Find the number of triangles in the given figure.    A) 11B) 13C) 15D) 17Ans.

B Q.4 Observe the dots on the dice (one to six dots) in the following figures. How many dots are contained on the face opposite to the containing four dots? A) 2B) 3C) 6D) 5Ans. A Q.5 Which one will replace the question mark ? A) 1B) 4C) 3D) 6Ans. D(5 + 4 + 7)/2 = 8(6 + 9 + 5)/2 = 10(3 + 7 + 2)/2 = 6.  

Q.1 A cube has six numbers marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on its faces. Three views of the cube are shown below: A) 2 and 3 B) 6 and 1 C) 1 and 4 D) 3 and 1Ans. A Q.2 In a dice a, b, c and d are written on the adjacent faces, in a clockwise order and e and f at the top and bottom. When c is at the top, what will be at the bottom? A) a B) b C) c D) d Ans. AClearly, the six faces are labelled asFace I -> a, Face IV -> b, Face III -> c, Face II -> d, Face V -> e, Face VI -> fTherefore ‘a’ appears opposite ‘c’.Hence, when ‘c’ is at the top, then ‘a’ will be at the bottom Q.3 A river flows from west to east and on the way turns left and goes in a semi–circle round a hillock and then turns left at right angle.
