Cut-e Test Cut-e Abstract Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A pattern rule: each figure has one more dot AND one fewer stripe than the previous. Figure 1 has 2 dots and 4 stripes. How many stripes does Figure 4 have?
- 1 (Correct answer)
- 2
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 1
Stripes decrease by 1 each step: Figure 1=4, Figure 2=3, Figure 3=2, Figure 4=1.
Question 2: A sequence of arrows: →, ↑, ←, ↓, →, ↑, ← … What is the 10th arrow?
- →
- ↑
- ←
- ↓ (Correct answer)
Correct answer: ↓
The cycle repeats every 4: position 10 = 10 mod 4 = 2nd position → ↑. Wait: 10 mod 4 = 2, so position 2 = ↑. Answer is ↑.
Question 3: In a matrix, the top-left, middle, and bottom-right cells are shaded. This forms which pattern?
- Diagonal from top-left to bottom-right (Correct answer)
- Diagonal from top-right to bottom-left
- A cross
- A border
Correct answer: Diagonal from top-left to bottom-right
Top-left, center, and bottom-right form the main diagonal of a 3×3 matrix.
Question 4: Odd-one-out: circle, oval, rectangle, sphere. Which does NOT belong?
- Circle
- Oval
- Rectangle
- Sphere (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Sphere
Circle, oval, and rectangle are 2D shapes; sphere is a 3D shape and does not belong.
Question 5: A pattern: each shape is reflected horizontally at each step. If Step 1 shows an arrow pointing right, Step 3 shows:
- Arrow pointing right (Correct answer)
- Arrow pointing left
- Arrow pointing up
- Arrow pointing down
Correct answer: Arrow pointing right
Horizontal reflection at Step 2 gives left; another reflection at Step 3 returns it to pointing right.
Question 6: In a number-shape matrix, each row's shapes increase in size and the numbers double. Row 1: small shape, 3. Row 2: medium shape, 6. Row 3 has a large shape. What number accompanies it?
- 9
- 10
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 15
Correct answer: 12
The number doubles each row: 3, 6, 12 — Row 3 is paired with 12.
A pattern rule: each figure has one more dot AND one fewer stripe than the previous.
Figure 1 has 2 dots and 4 stripes.
