COOP Non-Verbal Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A sequence shows: circle with 1 dot, circle with 2 dots, circle with 3 dots. What comes next?
- Circle with 4 dots (Correct answer)
- Square with 4 dots
- Circle with 5 dots
- Triangle with 4 dots
Correct answer: Circle with 4 dots
The shape stays the same (circle) while the number of dots increases by 1 each step, so next is a circle with 4 dots.
Question 2: Which figure does NOT belong: a solid black square, a solid black circle, a solid black triangle, an outlined square?
- Solid black square
- Solid black circle
- Solid black triangle
- Outlined square (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Outlined square
All other figures are solid black; the outlined square is the only one that is not filled in.
Question 3: A 3×3 grid has arrows pointing: right, down, left in row 1; right, down, left in row 2. What direction should the first arrow in row 3 point?
- Up
- Right (Correct answer)
- Down
- Left
Correct answer: Right
Each row repeats the same pattern (right, down, left), so the first arrow in row 3 points right.
Question 4: Shape A is a large dark pentagon. Shape B is a small dark pentagon. Shape C is a large dark hexagon. What is the analogy's missing shape (same relationship as A→B)?
- Large dark hexagon
- Small dark hexagon (Correct answer)
- Small light hexagon
- Large light hexagon
Correct answer: Small dark hexagon
A to B reduces size while keeping color and shape, so C to the missing shape should also reduce size, giving a small dark hexagon.
Question 5: A pattern alternates between a shaded diamond and an unshaded diamond, each time rotating 45°. After four steps the figure is an unshaded diamond tilted 90°. What is step five?
- Shaded diamond tilted 135° (Correct answer)
- Unshaded diamond tilted 135°
- Shaded diamond tilted 90°
- Shaded diamond tilted 45°
Correct answer: Shaded diamond tilted 135°
Shading alternates with each step, and rotation increases by 45° each step, making step five a shaded diamond tilted 135°.
Question 6: Four cubes are shown. Three have the same letter on top (A, A, A) and one has a different letter (B). Which cube is the odd one out?
- The first cube
- The second cube
- The third cube
- The fourth cube (B on top) (Correct answer)
Correct answer: The fourth cube (B on top)
The cube with 'B' on top differs from the three cubes showing 'A' on top.
Question 7: A folded paper is punched once and unfolded. The result shows holes at the top-left and top-right corners. Where was the punch made on the folded paper?
- Center of the paper
- Top-right corner only (Correct answer)
- Top-left corner only
- Bottom-center
Correct answer: Top-right corner only
When folded in half vertically, a punch at the top-right corner creates matching holes at the top-left and top-right when unfolded.
