Crossover Aptitude Test Spatial Reasoning: Odd One Out 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which shape is the odd one out? A) Triangle with one line of symmetry B) Regular pentagon C) Regular hexagon D) Square
- Triangle with one line of symmetry (Correct answer)
- Regular pentagon
- Regular hexagon
- Square
Correct answer: Triangle with one line of symmetry
The triangle has only one line of symmetry while the pentagon, hexagon, and square are all regular polygons with multiple lines of symmetry equal to their number of sides.
Question 2: Four figures each contain dots arranged in a pattern. A) 3 dots in an L-shape B) 3 dots in a straight line C) 3 dots forming a right angle D) 3 dots in a diagonal line
- 3 dots in an L-shape
- 3 dots in a straight line (Correct answer)
- 3 dots forming a right angle
- 3 dots in a diagonal line
Correct answer: 3 dots in a straight line
Options A, C, and D all show three dots arranged in a bent or angled configuration, while B shows them collinear (in a straight line).
Question 3: Which is the odd one out based on rotational symmetry? A) Circle B) Equilateral triangle C) Square D) Rectangle
- Circle
- Equilateral triangle
- Square
- Rectangle (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Rectangle
A circle, equilateral triangle, and square all have rotational symmetry where they look identical at equal angle intervals, but a rectangle only looks the same after 180° rotation, not at smaller equal intervals.
Question 4: Four cubes are shown from different angles. Three are the same cube rotated; one is different. The odd cube has: A) A dot on top and cross on front B) A cross on top and dot on front C) A line on top and dot on front D) A dot on top and line on front
- A dot on top and cross on front
- A cross on top and dot on front
- A line on top and dot on front (Correct answer)
- A dot on top and line on front
Correct answer: A line on top and dot on front
If the base cube has a dot opposite a cross and a line on a third face, option C with a line on top and dot on front represents an impossible orientation of that cube.
Question 5: Which set of shapes is the odd one out? A) Two overlapping circles B) Two overlapping squares C) A circle inside a square D) Two identical non-overlapping triangles
- Two overlapping circles
- Two overlapping squares
- A circle inside a square
- Two identical non-overlapping triangles (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Two identical non-overlapping triangles
Options A, B, and C all show two shapes that share area (overlap or containment), while D shows two shapes that do not touch or share any space.
Question 6: Each figure shows arrows. A) Two arrows pointing opposite directions B) Two arrows pointing the same direction C) Three arrows all pointing clockwise D) Two arrows perpendicular to each other
- Two arrows pointing opposite directions
- Two arrows pointing the same direction
- Three arrows all pointing clockwise (Correct answer)
- Two arrows perpendicular to each other
Correct answer: Three arrows all pointing clockwise
Options A, B, and D each contain exactly two arrows, while option C is the only set containing three arrows.
Question 7: Which shape does NOT belong with the others based on the number of angles? A) Heptagon B) Hexagon C) Octagon D) Pentagon
- Heptagon
- Hexagon (Correct answer)
- Octagon
- Pentagon
Correct answer: Hexagon
Pentagon (5), heptagon (7), and octagon (8) all have an odd or prime number of sides, while a hexagon has 6 sides which is a composite even number.
