JAMIA 2025 — Reasoning PYQ

In this series, the symbols move from the bottom/middle area up to a "final" top row. One symbol moves into the top-row sequence in each step, pushing the existing top symbols to the right.

1. Figure 1 to 2: The plus ($+$) shifts right. The minus ($-$) moves from the middle-left to the top-left.

2. Figure 2 to 3: The minus ($-$) and plus ($+$) shift right.

3. Figure 3 to 4: The triangle ($\Delta$) moves from the bottom-left to the top-left. The previous symbols ($-,+$) shift right.

4. Figure 4 to 5: The square ($\square$) moves from the bottom-center to the middle-left (preparing to move up).

5. Figure 5 to 6 (Your Answer): * The square ($\square$) finally moves to the top-left.

   • The existing top row ($\Delta ,-,+$) shifts to the right, but since the row is full, the plus ($+$) remains at the end or moves down, while $\Delta$ and $-$ adjust.

   • The open circle ($\circ$) moves up to the middle-right.

   • The black circle ($\bullet$) moves to the bottom-left.

Visual Summary of the Final State

The logic of the movement results in this configuration:

• Top Row: A new sequence is formed starting with the square ($\square$), triangle ($\Delta$), and minus ($-$) pushing the plus ($+$) to the far right.

  $$\text{Row 1: }[\Delta ][-][+]$$

• Middle Row: The square ($\square$) and open circle ($\circ$) occupy the middle tier.

  $$\text{Row 2: }[\square ][\circ ]$$

• Bottom Row: Only the black circle ($\bullet$) remains at the very bottom.

  $$\text{Row 3: }[\bullet ]$$
