Mettl Abstract Reasoning 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A 3×3 grid has shapes that change color left to right: white, gray, black. The middle row has gray, black, ?
- Gray
- Black
- White (Correct answer)
- Striped
Correct answer: White
The color sequence in each row must contain white, gray, and black once, so the missing color is white.
Question 2: In a pattern, odd-numbered positions have stars and even-numbered positions have hexagons. What shape is in position 9?
- Hexagon
- Star (Correct answer)
- Both
- Neither
Correct answer: Star
9 is odd, so position 9 contains a star.
Question 3: A figure has 4 quadrants. Moving clockwise, a black dot starts in the top-left and moves one quadrant each step. After 6 steps, which quadrant holds the dot?
- Top-left
- Top-right (Correct answer)
- Bottom-right
- Bottom-left
Correct answer: Top-right
The dot cycles through 4 positions; 6 mod 4 = 2, placing it 2 steps clockwise from top-left, which is top-right.
Question 4: Each row in a matrix shows shapes with an increasing number of internal lines: 0, 1, 2 lines. The third row begins with a shape with 2 lines, then 0 lines, then ?
- 0 lines
- 2 lines
- 1 line (Correct answer)
- 3 lines
Correct answer: 1 line
Each row must contain 0, 1, and 2 internal lines exactly once, so the missing value is 1 line.
Question 5: A shape series alternates between horizontal and vertical orientations: horizontal rectangle, vertical rectangle, horizontal oval, vertical oval, horizontal diamond, ?
- Horizontal diamond
- Vertical oval
- Vertical diamond (Correct answer)
- Horizontal oval
Correct answer: Vertical diamond
Each shape type alternates horizontal then vertical, so after horizontal diamond comes vertical diamond.
Question 6: In a logical matrix, the product of numbers in each row equals 24. Row 1: 2, 4, 3. Row 2: 6, 2, 2. Row 3: 4, ?, 3
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
- 6
Correct answer: 2
4 × ? × 3 = 24 → ? = 24 ÷ 12 = 2.
Question 7: In a sequence of figures, each figure has one fewer side than the previous. The sequence starts at 8 sides. What shape is in position 5?
- Pentagon (5 sides)
- Square (4 sides) (Correct answer)
- Triangle (3 sides)
- Hexagon (6 sides)
Correct answer: Square (4 sides)
Starting at 8 sides and subtracting 1 per step: position 5 = 8 − 4 = 4 sides, which is a square.
