Image Series Questions with Solutions

Image series is an abstract (non-verbal) reasoning question type. You are shown a sequence of figures that change according to a pattern, and you must choose the figure that comes next or fills a gap in the series. There are no words or numbers, so the questions test pure pattern recognition. The most common changes are rotation (by 45, 90 or 180 degrees, clockwise or anticlockwise), movement of elements from one position to another, addition or removal of elements, changes in shading, and changes in size. Often two or three of these happen at once. Track one element at a time, such as a small circle or an arrow, and note how it changes from each figure to the next. Then check which option continues every pattern you have found. Eliminating options that break even one pattern is usually faster than predicting the answer outright. Practise the image series questions below. Each solution explains the pattern step by step.
