# Odd One Out - Rotation Example

11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning, topic 5.1.1

## Odd One Out - Rotation

In 'odd one out' questions, you will have to look at a series of images and identify which image differs from the rest. In this section, we will look at the rotation of shapes.

### Question

![Question](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/27a523ca-8282-4d6e-bcc9-f67b3573880d/OOO%20rotation%201.png)

- Is image A, B, C, D or E the odd one out?

- Four out of the five images contain a heart shape that is a rotation of the others.

### Give the correct answer

- Image E is the correct answer as the heart shape in the image is not a valid rotation of the hearts in the other images.

## Test yourself on Odd One Out - Rotation Example

- What is the similarity in all but one of these images?
- Which image is the odd one out?
