Free GMA Figural Odd One Out Questions and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which figure is the odd one out? The options are four polygons.
- A: A square
- B: A trapezoid
- C: A pentagon (Correct answer)
- D: A rhombus
Correct answer: C: A pentagon
The rule is the number of sides. Figures A, B, and D are all quadrilaterals (have 4 sides). Figure C is a pentagon (has 5 sides), making it the odd one out.
Question 2: Which figure is the odd one out? Each option shows the letter 'F' in a different orientation.
- A: 'F' rotated 90 degrees clockwise
- B: 'F' reflected horizontally (Correct answer)
- C: 'F' rotated 180 degrees
- D: 'F' rotated 270 degrees clockwise
Correct answer: B: 'F' reflected horizontally
Figures A, C, and D are all rotations of the original letter 'F'. Figure B is a mirror image (a reflection) of the letter 'F' and cannot be achieved by simple rotation.
Question 3: Which figure is the odd one out? Each option is a circle containing a shaded sector.
- A: A circle with a 90-degree sector shaded
- B: A circle with a 90-degree sector shaded, rotated
- C: A circle with a 120-degree sector shaded (Correct answer)
- D: A circle with a 90-degree sector shaded, rotated differently
Correct answer: C: A circle with a 120-degree sector shaded
The rule relates to the proportion of the circle that is shaded. In figures A, B, and D, exactly one-quarter (25%) of the circle is shaded. In figure C, one-third (approx. 33.3%) of the circle is shaded.
Question 4: Which figure is the odd one out? Each option contains two geometric shapes, one inside the other.
- A: A triangle inside a square
- B: A square inside a rhombus (Correct answer)
- C: A square inside a pentagon
- D: A pentagon inside a hexagon
Correct answer: B: A square inside a rhombus
The pattern is based on the relationship between the inner and outer shapes. In figures A, C, and D, the inner shape has one fewer side than the outer shape (e.g., triangle inside a square). In figure B, the inner shape (square) has the same number of sides as the outer shape (rhombus).
Question 5: Which figure is the odd one out? Each option shows a large arrow with a small circle inside it.
- A: Arrow pointing up, circle in the head
- B: Arrow pointing right, circle in the head
- C: Arrow pointing down, circle in the tail (Correct answer)
- D: Arrow pointing left, circle in the head
Correct answer: C: Arrow pointing down, circle in the tail
The rule is based on the relative position of the circle within the arrow. In figures A, B, and D, the circle is located in the arrowhead. In figure C, the circle is located in the shaft (tail) of the arrow.
Question 6: Which figure is the odd one out? Each option consists of three overlapping shapes.
- A: Three overlapping ovals creating 3 enclosed spaces
- B: Three overlapping ovals creating 4 enclosed spaces (Correct answer)
- C: Three overlapping squares creating 3 enclosed spaces
- D: Three overlapping triangles creating 3 enclosed spaces
Correct answer: B: Three overlapping ovals creating 4 enclosed spaces
The pattern is based on the number of enclosed spaces created by the overlapping shapes. In figures A, C, and D, the overlapping shapes create exactly three fully enclosed, separate spaces. In figure B, the shapes overlap in a way that creates four enclosed spaces.
