Non Verbal Reasoning - Figure Matrix - Discussion

The given explanation is correct. Assume there are 4 direction around the circle i.e; North, South, East and West.

Now, In the first row, the 1st circle has only the North direction and the 2nd circle has two directions i.e, East and West. So, basically, these two have no common direction. Thus the 3rd circle will have the direction which are Not Common in 1st and 2nd circles. i.e, North, East & West.

Similarly, In the 2nd row direction or the line segments which are not common in the 1st and 2nd circle are North and East.

Therefore, In the third row, the 3rd circle will have North & East direction or line segments because there are no common direction in the 1st amd 2nd circle to be omitted.

So, the answer is A.

In the first row, in the first and second figure, the line segment is not overlapping thus the additional line is formed likewise in the second figure there is an overlapping between the line segments thus one line facing the bottom is removed. In a similar way in third figure there is no overlapping of the line segment thus it is added hence option is A.

I understand your explanation. Thanks @Rachana.

I didn't understand this. Please help me to get it.

I am not understanding this. Please explain it in the correct order.

It is understanding now, Thanks @Selina.

Simply put, the 3rd picture in each row is the equivalent of all the lines in the previous 2 pictures of the same row added together. However, whenever a line segment of the previous 2 pictures of the same row overlaps, said line gets "eliminated". The overlapping lines do not show up in the 3rd picture.

Thanks @Supriya Prakash.

@All.

In the 1st column, there are 2 pins that are overlapping. One pin rotates 180° and then again 180.

In 2nd column, left pin rotates 90° clockwise and then that pin rotate again 90°.

Then 3rd column, 3 pin are there, left pin shift 90°. And then again it turns 90° that overlap on right side pin result in the answer A.

Why not 2?
