This chapter discusses the problems related to classifications. Here, only one set of figures is given in each question. The candidates need to find out the different figure from the others.

The chapter discusses coding and decoding. It explains in detail about letter and number coding tests, along with the method of coding and decoding from letter matrices. We also learn about derivation and the application of coding rules.

The chapter discusses about the ability of the candidates to understand complex blood relations. Various examples with solutions are given here for the better understanding of the candidates.
