The corners and mid-points of the sides of a triangle are named using the distinct letters P, Q, R, S, T and U, but not necessarily in the same order. Consider the following statements: • The line joining P and R is parallel to the line joining Q and S. • P is placed on the side opposite to the corner T. • S and U cannot be placed on the same side.

Topic notes
Spatial Aptitude in GATE assesses a candidate's ability to manipulate, transform, and reason about 2D and 3D geometric objects, patterns, and maps. Questions consistently test spatial transformations (rotations, reflections, line symmetry), paper folding and unfolding/cutting, 3D cube nets and orthographic projections, and 2D tessellation/tiling invariants. All 16 questions in this dataset are Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), heavily reliant on visual diagrams (75% image-based) with a split between 1-mark perceptual checks and 2-mark multi-step geometric reasoning.
