NIMCET 2025 — Reasoning PYQ

1. Upper Half Analysis:

• Small individual triangles: $4$

• Triangles combining 2 small triangles: $3$

• Triangles combining 3 small triangles: $2$

• The largest upper triangle: $1$

• $$\text{Sub-total (Upper)}=4+3+2+1=10$$

2. Lower Half Analysis:

• Following the same pattern as the upper half:

• $$\text{Sub-total (Lower)}=4+3+2+1=10$$

3. Combined (Vertical) Triangles:

These are triangles that cross the horizontal middle line using the vertical bisector:

• Large left-side triangle (combining upper-left and lower-left): $1$

• Large right-side triangle (combining upper-right and lower-right): $1$

• Medium internal triangles (centered around the vertical line): $2$

• $$\text{Sub-total (Vertical)}=1+1+2=4$$

4. Total Calculation:

Correct Answer: Option C
