Sol.57.(d) The figure in the lower left
corner comes in the centre of the next
figure, so rhombus is only in the centre
of option D .
Sol.58.(d)
Sol.59. (d)
Sol.60.(d) Logic is : the shaded corner
and the shaded part of the oval is on the
same face of the square but are opposite
to each other. So, option D is the correct
answer.
Sol.61.(a) Logic is : Next appearing
figure has one more side than the
previous appeared figure and also the
previous appeared figure is shaded.
Sol.62.(d)
Sol.63.(b) The sum of * and + in all the
figure is 6. So, option a and c are ruled
out and the shaded part is rotating in the
