Question 1

A pattern shows: large circle, small circle, large square, small square, large triangle, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Small triangle

Answer

Each shape appears first large then small, so after large triangle comes small triangle.

Question 2

In a sequence of numbers arranged in a triangle, each number equals the sum of the two above it. Row 1: 1; Row 2: 1, 1; Row 3: 1, 2, 1; Row 4: 1, 3, 3, ___. What is the missing value?

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

Pascal's triangle always ends each row with 1, so the missing value is 1.

Question 3

A tile pattern alternates between black and white in a checkerboard. If the top-left tile is black, what color is the tile at row 4, column 3?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

Row 4 + column 3 = 7, which is odd; since odd positions starting from (1,1)=black follow black, the tile is black.

Question 4

Each figure in a series gains one extra line segment per step: 1 line, 2 lines, 4 lines, 7 lines, ___. How many lines are in the next figure?

Accepted Answer

11

Answer

The differences between terms are 1, 2, 3, 4 — increasing by 1 each time — so 7 + 4 = 11.

Question 5

In an abstract series, shapes become darker each step: white → light gray → gray → dark gray → ___. What shade comes next?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

The shading darkens progressively through five steps ending in black.
