Q2 · Observation · EASY
Observe the given figures: Figure 1: A square with 4 dots inside Figure 2: A square with 7 dots inside Figure 3: A square with 10 dots inside Figure 4: A square with 13 dots inside How many dots will be inside the square in Figure 7?
Q3 · Observation · MEDIUM
A grid shows 16 small squares (4×4). Exactly 7 squares are shaded black in a specific pattern. Which of the following observations is correct about the shaded squares? [Pattern description: Row 1 has squares 1 and 4 shaded. Row 2 has square 2 shaded. Row 3 has squares 2 and 4 shaded. Row 4 has squares 1 and 3 shaded.] Which statement correctly describes the shaded pattern?
Q4 · Observation · MEDIUM
Five transparent sheets with different patterns are stacked on top of each other. When viewed from the top, certain overlapping areas appear darker. The sheets have the following black lines: Sheet 1: A vertical line in the center Sheet 2: A horizontal line in the center Sheet 3: A diagonal line from top-left to bottom-right Sheet 4: A diagonal line from top-right to bottom-left Sheet 5: A circle in the center How many distinct intersection points are visible when all 5 sheets are stacked and viewed from above?
Q5 · Observation · HARD
A complex figure shows multiple overlapping triangles, squares, and circles. The figure contains: - 3 overlapping circles - 2 overlapping squares - 4 overlapping triangles All shapes are drawn with single-line boundaries. Some regions within the figure are divided into smaller compartments by the overlapping boundaries. By careful observation, the total number of distinct enclosed regions (compartments) created by all the overlapping shapes is found to be 28. If one more circle of the same size is added such that it overlaps all existing shapes symmetrically, creating the maximum possible number of new regions, what will be the total number of distinct enclosed regions?
