NNAT Serial Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Shapes progressively add sides: triangle, square, pentagon. What comes next?
- Hexagon (6 sides) (Correct answer)
- Circle
- Triangle
- Octagon
Correct answer: Hexagon (6 sides)
Each shape adds one side: 3, 4, 5, so next is 6 sides.
Question 2: Shapes alternate black/white while increasing in size. What must the answer satisfy?
- Both the correct color AND the correct larger size (Correct answer)
- Only correct color
- Only correct size
- A new color
Correct answer: Both the correct color AND the correct larger size
Multiple simultaneous patterns must all be satisfied.
Question 3: Each row of a matrix contains circle, square, triangle. The last cell is empty. What goes there?
- Whichever shape is missing from that row and column (Correct answer)
- The most common shape
- A new shape
- All three combined
Correct answer: Whichever shape is missing from that row and column
The missing cell must complete both the row and column sets.
Question 4: A shape rotates 45 degrees each step. After four steps, total rotation is?
- 180 degrees (Correct answer)
- 90 degrees
- 360 degrees
- 45 degrees
Correct answer: 180 degrees
4 steps x 45 degrees = 180 degrees total.
Question 5: Shapes darken: white, light gray, dark gray. What comes next?
- Black (Correct answer)
- White
- Light gray
- No change
Correct answer: Black
The progression goes from lightest to darkest; black follows dark gray.

- Large square (Correct answer)
- Small triangle
- Large circle
- Medium circle
Correct answer: Large square
Each shape appears in three sizes before moving to the next shape.
