Questions based on Figure Matrix generally have either a 2 x 2 or a 3 x 3 matrix. Each cell of this matrix contains a figure and there is a common pattern running through each of the rows or columns.

Your task is to analyse each of the sets to find out the common pattern and then identify the missing figure from the set of given alternatives, so as to complete the given matrix.

The common pattern can be on the basis of number of elements, orientation of figure, addition or removal of elements etc.


 
Example 1: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.

Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

In the first and second row, the second figure is the inner part of the first figure and similarly the third figure is the inner part of the second figure.

So, the missing figure should be the inner part of the second figure. So the missing figure is ans (d).
 
 
Example 2: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.

Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

As we move from first figure to second figure, the two perpendiculer intersected lines are get omitted and four small circles are placed at the four corner of each row of third figure, Thus the missing figure is option (b).
 
 
Example 3: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.

Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

Here is three type of arrow single arrow, double and triple arrow. Position of arrows are different upwards, downwards and towards right. these arrows has three type of base circle plane and rectangle. so missing arrow is option (c).
 
 
Example 4: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.

Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

The second figure is obtained by completing the figure of first one. Thus the missing figure is option (b).
 
 
Example 5
Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.
Figure Matrix

Options
Figure Matrix
 
Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

In the first figure of second arrow is only inverted and placed in the second figure, third figure of both arrow are inverted,

thus the third row of second figure will be the option (b).
 
 
Example 6: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.

Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

Clearly triangle has two part divide by vertical and followed to second figure has square with two part. Thus the third shape would be option (c).
 
 
Example 7: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.
Figure Matrix

Options
Figure Matrix
 
Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

Clearly the first figure has two round joined each other and it increase with one more round shape, similarly each figure has increases in each figure, So the answer would be option (c).
 
 
Example 8: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.
Figure Matrix

Options
Figure Matrix
 
Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

In each figure, the circle are side of longer line. The number of circle are increased in each step from left to right in each row. the position of first and third figure are same. Thus the option would be (c).
 
 
Example 9: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.
Figure Matrix

Options
Figure Matrix
 
Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

In third row, the inner circle moves with the bar 90o clockwise at each step. has three shape like triangle, rectangle, circle and one is missing, so the option would be (b).
 
 
Example 10: Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the Figure Matrix of the given figure.
Figure Matrix

Options
Figure Matrix
 
Answer: The actual missing image is

Figure Matrix

In each figure the shape of circle has decreases by one. Thus the option would be (c).
