Grouping of Images— Concepts, Formulas & Shortcuts
- Fix the classifying property BEFORE assigning any figure to a group.
- Common properties: side count, curved versus straight, symmetry, enclosed regions.
- Every figure must belong to exactly one group.
- If a figure fits two groups, the chosen property is not precise enough.
- Groups are usually equal or near-equal in size in exam questions.
- Verify by re-reading the property against each assigned figure at the end.

Q1.In grouping of images, the first step is to:
Easy- AAssign figures at random
- BFix the classifying property
- CCount the options
- DChoose the largest figure
Grouping of Images question 1 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Fix the classifying property
Explanation: The property must be settled before any figure is assigned, or the groups become inconsistent.
Q2.Which property would separate a circle and an ellipse from a square and a triangle?
Easy- ASize
- BPresence of curves
- CShading
- DPosition
Grouping of Images question 2 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Presence of curves
Explanation: The first two are curved figures and the last two are rectilinear.
Q3.If a figure appears to fit two groups, it means:
Moderate- AThe figure is wrong
- BThe classifying property is too loose
- CBoth groups are correct
- DThe question is faulty
Grouping of Images question 3 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. The classifying property is too loose
Explanation: A precise property assigns every figure to exactly one group.
Q4.Grouping a triangle, square and pentagon together against a circle uses which property?
Easy- AColour
- BMade only of straight lines
- CSize
- DSymmetry
Grouping of Images question 4 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Made only of straight lines
Explanation: The polygons are rectilinear while the circle is curved.
Q5.How many enclosed regions does a simple triangle have?
Easy- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Grouping of Images question 5 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. 1
Explanation: A closed triangle encloses exactly one region.
Q6.Which property distinguishes a square from a rectangle?
Moderate- ANumber of sides
- BAll sides equal
- CRight angles
- DBeing closed
Grouping of Images question 6 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. All sides equal
Explanation: Both have four sides and right angles; only the square has all sides equal.
Q7.In grouping questions, each figure must belong to:
Easy- ANo group
- BExactly one group
- CTwo groups
- DAll groups
Grouping of Images question 7 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Exactly one group
Explanation: A valid classification partitions the set, assigning each figure once.
Q8.If your grouping produces one group of five and one of one, you should:
Moderate- AAccept it
- BReconsider the classifying property
- CMerge the groups
- DDiscard a figure
Grouping of Images question 8 of 8+Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: B. Reconsider the classifying property
Explanation: Exam groupings are normally balanced, so a lopsided split suggests a different property is intended.
Grouping of Images — Frequently Asked Questions
What if a figure seems to fit two groups?+
Your classifying property is too loose. Tighten it — for example from "has straight lines" to "has exactly four straight sides" — until each figure belongs to exactly one group.
Are the groups always the same size?+
Usually, in exam questions. If your grouping produces one very large and one very small group, it is worth checking whether a different property gives a more balanced and therefore more likely split.
