AON Abstract Reasoning 1 ā Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a sequence: 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, ___. What is the next number?
- 91
- 94
- 95 (Correct answer)
- 97
Correct answer: 95
Each term is (previous Ć 2) + 1: 2ā5ā11ā23ā47ā95.
Question 2: A series of shapes alternates between circles and squares. The circles increase in size each time they appear, and the squares decrease. If the 5th shape is a large circle, what is the 6th shape?
- A large circle
- A large square
- A small square (Correct answer)
- A medium square
Correct answer: A small square
The pattern alternates circle-square; after the 5th shape (circle), the 6th must be a square, and squares decrease in size ā so it is a small square.
Question 3: What number comes next in the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ___?
- 30
- 35
- 36 (Correct answer)
- 49
Correct answer: 36
The sequence is perfect squares (1Ā², 2Ā², 3Ā², 4Ā², 5Ā²), so the next is 6Ā² = 36.
Question 4: In a pattern, each row has one more shape than the previous: Row 1 has 1 triangle, Row 2 has 2 circles, Row 3 has 3 triangles, Row 4 has 4 circles. How many shapes are in Row 7, and what shape are they?
- 7 circles
- 7 triangles (Correct answer)
- 6 triangles
- 8 circles
Correct answer: 7 triangles
Odd rows have triangles and even rows have circles; Row 7 is odd, so it has 7 triangles.
Question 5: Find the missing number: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___, 96.
- 36
- 42
- 48 (Correct answer)
- 56

Each number is doubled: 3ā6ā12ā24ā48ā96.
Question 6: In a matrix: Row 1: 2, 4, 8; Row 2: 3, 9, 27; Row 3: 4, 16, ___. What is the missing value?
- 32
- 48
- 64 (Correct answer)
- 72
Correct answer: 64
Each row follows the pattern n, nĀ², nĀ³: Row 3 is 4, 4Ā²=16, 4Ā³=64.
