Question 1

A 3×3 matrix has numbers that increase by 3 across each row and by 2 down each column. The top-left value is 1. What is the bottom-right value?

Accepted Answer

13

Answer

Moving 2 columns right (+6) and 2 rows down (+4) from 1 gives 1 + 6 + 4 = 11. Wait — recalculate: +3 per column step × 2 = +6, +2 per row step × 2 = +4; 1 + 6 + 4 = 11.

Question 2

Which of the following describes a figure that has exactly 2 lines of symmetry?

Accepted Answer

A rectangle

Answer

A rectangle has exactly 2 lines of symmetry (vertical and horizontal), while equilateral triangles have 3 and scalene triangles have 0.

Question 3

In a dot-matrix pattern, dots move one position clockwise around a 3×3 grid each step. A dot starts at the top-left corner. After 4 steps, where is the dot?

Accepted Answer

Top-right corner

Answer

Moving clockwise around the perimeter: top-left → top-center → top-right after 2 steps; after 4 steps the dot is at the right-center.

Question 4

A pattern shows: large circle, small square, large circle, small square. The next shape added is a large triangle. What is the most likely rule being introduced?

Accepted Answer

Shape cycles through three types while size stays large

Answer

Adding a large triangle suggests the pattern now cycles through circle, square, triangle while maintaining large size.

Question 5

A rectangular piece of paper is folded in half vertically, then folded in half horizontally. One square hole is punched through all layers. How many holes appear when the paper is unfolded?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Two folds create 4 layers, and a single punch through all layers produces 4 holes when unfolded.
