Abstract Reasoning Matrix Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a matrix, each row uses the same shape but different fills: outline, half-filled, fully filled. The missing cell is in the fully-filled column of the triangle row. What is it?
- Outline triangle
- Half-filled triangle
- Fully filled triangle (Correct answer)
- Fully filled circle
Correct answer: Fully filled triangle
The row uses triangles and the column requires fully filled, so the cell is a fully filled triangle.
Question 2: A matrix has each column contain the colors red, blue, and green exactly once. Column 1: red, blue, green. Column 2: blue, green, ___. What is missing?
- Red (Correct answer)
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
Correct answer: Red
Column 2 already has blue and green, so the missing color is red.
Question 3: In a 3×3 matrix, each row's shapes increase in size. The diagonal from top-left to bottom-right contains the medium-sized versions of each shape. What size is the top-right cell?
- Small
- Medium
- Large (Correct answer)
- Extra-large
Correct answer: Large
In each row, sizes go small→medium→large from left to right; the top-right cell is in the rightmost (large) column.
Question 4: A matrix shows shapes where the number of internal lines equals the row number. Row 2, Column 3 is missing. How many internal lines does it have?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
The rule specifies lines = row number; row 2 cells always have 2 internal lines.
Question 5: Each cell in a matrix is obtained by combining the shape from the same row's first cell with the fill of the same column's first cell. Row 3 starts with a pentagon; Column 2 starts with a gray fill. What is Row 3, Column 2?
- Gray pentagon (Correct answer)
- White pentagon
- Gray square
- Black pentagon
Correct answer: Gray pentagon
Combining the row's shape (pentagon) with the column's fill (gray) produces a gray pentagon.
Question 6: In a 3×3 matrix, each row has figures that are progressively rotated 30°. The third figure in any row is always rotated 60° from the first. If Row 2 starts at 0°, what is the rotation of the 3rd figure in Row 2?
- 30°
- 60° (Correct answer)
- 90°
- 120°
Correct answer: 60°
The third figure is always rotated 60° from the first; since Row 2 starts at 0°, the third figure is at 60°.

In a matrix, each row uses the same shape but different fills: outline, half-filled, fully filled.
The missing cell is in the fully-filled column of the triangle row.
