In a figure analogy, 1 large shape becomes 4 small shapes. Following this rule, 2 large shapes become:
Answer: 8 small shapes
Each large shape is replaced by 4 small shapes (×4 rule), so 2 large shapes become 2×4=8 small shapes.
A triangle with 1 interior dot pairs with a triangle with 3 interior dots. A square with 2 interior dots pairs with a square with how many interior dots?
Answer: 6
The number of dots is tripled (1→3), so 2 dots become 2×3=6 dots.
Shape A is twice as large as Shape B. Shape C is 6 cm wide. If the same proportional relationship holds, how wide is Shape D?
Answer: 3 cm
Shape B is half the size of Shape A, so Shape D is half the size of Shape C: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 cm.
In a number analogy common in abstract tests, the pattern is 2 : 4 :: 5 : ___. What completes this?
Answer: 10
The rule doubles the number (2×2=4), so 5×2=10 completes the analogy.
A figure shows 3 circles arranged in a row. Its analogous figure shows 3 squares in a column. If the next input is 4 triangles in a row, the analogy predicts:
Answer: 4 triangles in a column
The rule changes the arrangement from row to column while keeping the same shape and count, so 4 triangles in a row become 4 triangles in a column.
A figure analogy shows a shape decreasing in a series: large → medium → small → ___. What logically comes next?
Answer: Extra small
The pattern shows a continuous, progressive size reduction; the next step continues the sequence to extra small.
In a figure analogy, a shape with 4 sides has 2 dots inside; a shape with 6 sides has 3 dots inside. A shape with 8 sides would have how many dots?
Answer: 4
The number of dots equals half the number of sides (4÷2=2, 6÷2=3), so an 8-sided shape has 4 dots.
