Analytical Reasoning Q54

54.	Determine the number of rectangles and hexagons in the given figure.
	A. 30, 5 B. 32, 3 C. 28, 5 D. 30, 3

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

Rectangles:

The simplest rectangles are CVSR, VETS, RSWM and STKW i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of two components each are CETR, VEKW, RTKM and GVWM i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of three components each are AQRP, PRMO, EGHT and THIK i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of four components each are CEKM, AVSP,TSWO, VGHS and SHIW i.e. 5 in number.

The rectangles composed of five components each are AETP, PTKO, CGHR and RHIM i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of six components each are ACMO and EGIK i.e. 2 in number.

The rectangles composed of eight components each are AGHP, PHIO, AVWO and VGIW i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of ten components each are AEKO and CGIM i.e. 2 in number.

AGIO is the only rectangle having sixteen components.

Total number of rectangles in the given figure

= 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 30.

Hexagons:

The hexagons in the given figure are CDEKLM, CEUKMQ, CFHJMQ, BEUKNP and BFHJNP.

So, there are 5 hexagons in the given figure.
