COOP Non-Verbal Reasoning 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a matrix, row 1 has: star, moon, sun. Row 2 has: moon, sun, star. Row 3 has: sun, star, ___. What fills the blank?
- Star
- Moon (Correct answer)
- Sun
- Circle
Correct answer: Moon
Each row is a cyclic shift of the same three symbols, and the missing piece to complete row 3 is the moon.
Question 2: An object is reflected across a vertical axis. The original shows an arrow pointing upper-right. What does the reflection look like?
- Arrow pointing upper-right
- Arrow pointing upper-left (Correct answer)
- Arrow pointing lower-right
- Arrow pointing lower-left
Correct answer: Arrow pointing upper-left
Reflecting across a vertical axis reverses left and right, so an upper-right arrow becomes an upper-left arrow.
Question 3: Three shapes are alike: all are four-sided with two pairs of equal sides. Which shape does NOT belong?
- Rectangle
- Parallelogram
- Rhombus
- Trapezoid (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Trapezoid
A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides and does not necessarily have two pairs of equal sides, unlike the others.
Question 4: A series shows: 2 small shapes, 4 small shapes, 6 small shapes. What pattern rule applies?
- Add 1 each step
- Multiply by 2 each step
- Add 2 each step (Correct answer)
- Subtract 1 each step
Correct answer: Add 2 each step
The number of shapes increases by 2 each step (2, 4, 6), following an add-2 rule.
Question 5: Which net can be folded into a cube? Option A has all 6 squares in a straight row. Option B has a cross shape. Option C has an L-shape with 4 squares. Option D has 2 separate squares.
- Option A
- Option B (Correct answer)
- Option C
- Option D
Correct answer: Option B
A cross-shaped net with one center square and four squares extending from its sides, plus one more, can correctly fold into a cube.
Question 6: A square is divided into 4 equal triangles by its diagonals. The top triangle is shaded, the others are not. The figure is rotated 90° clockwise. Which triangle is now shaded?
- Top
- Right (Correct answer)
- Bottom
- Left
Correct answer: Right
Rotating 90° clockwise moves the top triangle to the right position.
Question 7: Five figures are shown. Four are identical rotations of the same shape. One has an extra line. Which is the odd one out?
- Figure 1
- Figure 2
- Figure 3 (Correct answer)
- Figure 4
Correct answer: Figure 3
When comparing all figures, Figure 3 contains an extra line not present in the others regardless of rotation.
