Crossover Aptitude Test Spatial Reasoning: Figure Series 2

Question 1

A series shows triangles with an internal dot that moves clockwise by one corner each step: top → right → bottom → left. If the dot starts at the top in figure 1, where is it in figure 5?

Accepted Answer

Top

Answer

The dot cycles through 4 positions (top, right, bottom, left), so figure 5 returns to the top.

Question 2

In a figure series, each shape gains one side per step: circle (0 sides) → triangle → square → pentagon. What shape comes 6th in this sequence?

Accepted Answer

Heptagon

Answer

Starting from circle at step 1, each step adds one side, so step 6 is a heptagon (7 sides).

Question 3

A series shows alternating black and white squares arranged in a 2×2 grid. In figure 1 the top-left is black; in figure 2 the pattern rotates 90° clockwise. What color is the top-left square in figure 4?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

Each full 360° rotation (4 steps) returns the grid to its original orientation, so figure 4 matches figure 1 with black at top-left.

Question 4

Figures show a 3×3 grid where shaded cells increase by one per step, filling left-to-right, top-to-bottom. If figure 1 has 1 shaded cell, how many unshaded cells remain in figure 6?

Accepted Answer

3

Answer

Figure 6 has 6 shaded cells, leaving 9 − 6 = 3 unshaded cells.

Question 5

In each figure an arrow rotates 45° counterclockwise. Figure 1 points right (0°). In which figure does the arrow first point straight left (180°)?

Accepted Answer

Figure 5

Answer

Four 45° counterclockwise rotations from 0° reach 180° (left), which is figure 5.
