Group the given figures into three classes using each figure only once. The options provided are:
(1) 3, 4, 9; 5, 7, 8; 1, 2, 6
(2) 1, 5, 6; 2, 4, 8; 3, 7, 9
(3) 4, 6, 8; 3, 5, 7; 1, 2, 3
(4) 1, 2, 7; 3, 5, 9; 4, 6, 8
From the image, the figures must be grouped into three classes based on logical patterns or characteristics, with the options provided.
Observing the Figures:
Figure Analysis:
Figure 1, 2, 7: Simple shapes (star, triangle, circle, square).
Figure 3, 5, 9: Complex or overlapping shapes (star within circles or shapes).
Figure 4, 6, 8: Geometric shapes combined (rectangles or triangles with overlaps).
Logical Grouping:
Option (4) correctly groups the figures into logical classes:
Group 1 (1, 2, 7): Basic, simple shapes.
Group 2 (3, 5, 9): Overlapping or compound shapes.
Group 3 (4, 6, 8): Geometric shapes with overlaps or added features.
Final Answer: Option (4)
This option logically groups the figures based on their defining characteristics.
