COOP Non-Verbal Reasoning 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A transparent sheet has a black arrow pointing right. When the sheet is flipped over its horizontal axis (top to bottom), where does the arrow point?
- Right (Correct answer)
- Left
- Up
- Down
Correct answer: Right
Flipping over the horizontal axis mirrors top and bottom but keeps left-right direction the same, so the arrow still points right.
Question 2: In a classification task, three figures share one hidden rule. Square with dots, triangle with dots, pentagon with dots — what is the rule?
- All figures are polygons
- All figures have dots inside (Correct answer)
- All figures have more than three sides
- All figures are the same size
Correct answer: All figures have dots inside
The common feature across all three figures is that each contains dots inside, regardless of shape.
Question 3: A 4×4 matrix has symbols in all cells except the bottom-right. Each row and column contains exactly one each of: ★ ♦ ♣ ♥. The bottom row is: ★ ♦ ♣ ___.
- ★
- ♦
- ♣
- ♥ (Correct answer)
Correct answer: ♥
Since each row must contain all four symbols and ★, ♦, ♣ are already present, the missing symbol is ♥.
Question 4: Three cubes are shown with different faces visible. All three cubes have the same dot pattern. If the face with 1 dot is opposite the face with 6 dots, which face is opposite the face with 3 dots?
- 1 dot
- 2 dots
- 4 dots (Correct answer)
- 6 dots
Correct answer: 4 dots
On a standard die, 3 is opposite 4, so the face with 3 dots is opposite the face with 4 dots.
Question 5: A shape sequence: small shaded square → medium unshaded square → large shaded square → ___.
- Small unshaded square
- Extra-large unshaded square (Correct answer)
- Large shaded circle
- Medium shaded square
Correct answer: Extra-large unshaded square
Size increases each step (small, medium, large, extra-large) and shading alternates (shaded, unshaded, shaded, unshaded).
Question 6: A figure is made of 5 identical small squares arranged in an L-shape. How many lines of symmetry does it have?
- 0 (Correct answer)
- 1
- 2
- 4
Correct answer: 0
An L-shaped pentomino has no line of symmetry because no reflection maps it onto itself.
Question 7: Paper is folded in half diagonally (corner to corner) and a hole is punched at the center of the folded edge. When unfolded, where are the holes?
- One hole at the center of the paper
- Two holes symmetrically placed on the diagonal fold line (Correct answer)
- Four holes at the corners
- Two holes on opposite non-folded edges
Correct answer: Two holes symmetrically placed on the diagonal fold line
A diagonal fold creates mirror symmetry along the diagonal; a single punch on the folded edge produces two holes symmetrically on either side of the diagonal.
