  1. In a matrix, the top row shows 1 circle, then 2 circles. The bottom row shows 2 squares, then ?. Which figure completes the matrix?

    Answer: 3 squares

    Across each row one more shape is added while the shape type stays the same, so 2 squares becomes 3 squares.

  2. Top-left: an arrow pointing up. Top-right: the same arrow pointing right. Bottom-left: an arrow pointing left. What goes bottom-right?

    Answer: Arrow pointing up

    Each arrow rotates 90° clockwise from left to right, and left rotated 90° clockwise points up.

  3. A white triangle becomes a black triangle. Following the same rule, what does a white star become?

    Answer: A black star

    The rule changes only the shading from white to black while the shape stays the same.

  4. A large square becomes a small square. Using the same rule, what does a large hexagon become?

    Answer: A small hexagon

    Only the size is reduced; the shape remains a hexagon.

  5. Row 1: a vertical line, a horizontal line, then a plus sign. Row 2: a '/' diagonal line, a '\' diagonal line, then ?. What completes row 2?

    Answer: An X shape

    The third cell overlays the first two cells, and two crossing diagonals form an X.

  6. A pentagon becomes a square. Following the same rule, what does a hexagon become?

    Answer: A pentagon

    The rule removes one side, so a 6-sided hexagon becomes a 5-sided pentagon.

  7. The letter-like shape 'b' becomes 'd' when transformed. Applying the same transformation, what does 'p' become?

    Answer: q

    'b' to 'd' is a mirror reflection across a vertical line, and reflecting 'p' the same way gives 'q'.
