Visual Reasoning with coded SVG diagrams

This chapter turns text placeholders into crisp, responsive diagrams drawn through code. It covers mirror images, water images, paper folding, cubes, figure matrices, analogy, odd-one-out, and visual series through a reusable SVG rendering system.

Core Logic

Mirror vs water image rules for competitive exams

Mirror Image

A vertical mirror swaps left and right. Sequence order appears from the mirror side first, while top and bottom remain fixed.

Water Image

A water image swaps top and bottom. Left-right placement stays unchanged, so reverse-order options are usually traps.

Paper Folding

Every fold creates symmetry. Unfold one crease at a time and duplicate each hole across the active fold line.

Series and Matrices

Track one changing property at a time: count, rotation, corner position, or shading. Strong options satisfy all visible rules.

Spatial Guru shortcut: ask what stayed fixed first. If left-right stays fixed, it is not a mirror image. If top-bottom stays fixed, it is not a water image.

Why coded SVG images improve this chapter

Coded diagrams are fast, crisp, and easy to scale. Instead of uploading hundreds of static images, the chapter stores logic and renders visuals directly in the browser.

That makes the page stronger for mobile reading, easier to maintain, and much more flexible for future question generation. It also matches the structure of CUET-style visual reasoning, where the same underlying transformations repeat across mirror, fold, cube, and pattern families.

Solved Examples

Worked examples with coded diagrams

These examples use the same rendering logic as the practice engine, so the chapter can grow without redesigning every image by hand.

Mirror Image

SE1. Mirror image of CODE

A vertical mirror is placed to the right of CODE. Pick the correct reflected view.

Correct answer: A

A mirror image swaps left and right. The quickest exam move is to think from the mirror side first and reject any option that behaves like a top-bottom inversion.

Water Image

SE2. Water image of LOGIC

A calm water line lies below LOGIC. Choose the correct water reflection.

Correct answer: B

Water keeps left and right fixed. Only the vertical orientation changes, so reverse-order text options are traps here.

Paper Folding

SE3. One vertical fold and one punch

A square sheet is folded vertically and punched once near the upper quarter. Which unfolded pattern is correct?

Show logical solution

Correct answer: A

A single vertical fold creates one mirror copy across the vertical crease, so the final sheet shows two horizontally symmetric holes.

Figure Series

SE4. Arrow growth around a hexagon

Each step adds one clockwise arrow around the hexagon. Find the next figure.

Correct answer: A

Track count before decoration. The arrow count grows by one in the same clockwise direction, so the next image must show five arrows continuing the same structure.

Matrix

SE5. 2 x 2 dot matrix

The lower pattern combines the visible count above. Choose the missing figure.

Correct answer: C

This matrix rewards disciplined observation. The strongest first move is to compare the relation between row members instead of guessing by visual density.

Cube Logic

SE6. Opposite face detection

Which symbol must be opposite A if A is seen touching B, C, D, and E across two cube views?

Correct answer: D

A cube face touches only four other faces. The one label never seen adjacent to A must be opposite A.
