Question 1
Figure Analogy: A : B :: C : ?
Rule: If a figure has more than 4 sides, add a central dot. Otherwise, keep unchanged. Apply to C.
Step-by-Step Solution:
STEP 1: Analyze Figure A Properties
- Shape: Pentagon (5-sided polygon)
- Sides count: 5 > 4 ✓
- Internal elements: None initially
STEP 2: Analyze Figure B (Result)
- Shape: Pentagon (5-sided polygon - same as A)
- Internal elements: One central dot added
- Transformation applied: Dot added (condition met)
STEP 3: Extract Transformation Rule
- Condition: Count number of sides
- Decision point: Compare to 4
- If sides > 4: Add central dot
- If sides ≤ 4: No change
STEP 4: Analyze Figure C Properties
- Shape: Rectangle (4-sided polygon)
- Sides count: 4 = 4 (NOT greater than 4)
- Current internal elements: None
STEP 5: Apply Conditional Rule to C
- Rectangle has 4 sides
- Is 4 > 4? NO
- Condition NOT met
- Action: NO transformation (keep unchanged)
Answer: Rectangle remains completely unchanged (has exactly 4 sides, does not meet the "> 4" condition)
