A sequence shows: Circle → Square → Triangle → Circle → Square → ? What comes next?
Answer: Triangle
The pattern repeats every 3 shapes: Circle, Square, Triangle — so the 6th position is Triangle.
In a matrix, the number of sides of shapes increases by 1 across each row. The first row has 3, 4, 5 sides. The second row starts with 4, 5, ?
Answer: 6
Each row increments sides by 1 per column, so the third column of the second row is 6.
A figure rotates 45° clockwise at each step. After 4 steps from its original position, how many degrees has it rotated in total?
Answer: 180°
4 steps × 45° per step = 180° total rotation.
Each row in a 3×3 grid contains one small, one medium, and one large shape. The third row has a large circle and a small triangle. What size is the missing third shape?
Answer: Medium
Each row must contain one of each size, so the missing shape must be medium.
A pattern alternates between a filled shape and an outline shape. The sequence is: filled square, outline square, filled circle, outline circle, filled triangle, ?
Answer: Outline triangle
Each shape appears first filled then as outline, so after filled triangle comes outline triangle.
In a series, the number of dots inside shapes doubles each step: 1, 2, 4, 8, ?
Answer: 16
The sequence doubles each time: 1×2=2, 2×2=4, 4×2=8, 8×2=16.
Three figures each have an inner and outer shape. Figure 1: outer circle, inner square. Figure 2: outer square, inner triangle. Figure 3: outer triangle, inner ?
Answer: Circle
The inner shape of each figure matches the outer shape of the next, so figure 3's inner shape is a circle (figure 1's outer shape).
