Hello.

Does anyone have the NVR Preparation Tests Book 1?

We are stumped on Question 61 on Paper 1.. Two isoceles triangles joined together.. one with two black dots, one with two white dots...

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks!

You mean this one:

Just push the triangles together, I think? It could only be C, couldn't it?

Hi Bad Dad, how enterprising! All scanned and all! Thanks for that.

Yes, I see it is C, but the dots are not in the same position in relation to the triangle size?

In the original shapes, the two dots are at the base of the isoceles triangle, but in the answer C, the dots are to the side of the isoceles triangle.... am I nit picking, or is it an error in the question? The triangles are obviously not equalaterial.

I see what you mean. I wasn't as observant as you, plus my child guessed right on this one, so I just glossed over it. I think you are right, it could be a mistake - or a bad question, but even so, I think C is the best answer as all the other answers have both a black and a white dot in the same triangle, which seems wrong.
