NNAT Matrix Reasoning 3

Question 1

In a matrix, shapes in the left column are solid and shapes in the right column are outlined (unfilled). A solid pentagon appears in column 1. What appears in column 2 of the same row?

Accepted Answer

an outlined pentagon

Answer

The rule changes solid shapes to outlined versions of the same shape moving right.

Question 2

A 3x3 matrix has shapes that grow larger from top to bottom in each column. The top row shows small shapes and the middle row shows medium shapes. What size shapes fill the bottom row?

Accepted Answer

large

Answer

The size progression small to medium to large places large shapes in the bottom row.

Question 3

Each row in a matrix contains exactly one circle, one square, and one triangle in different columns. Row 1: circle col 1, square col 2, triangle col 3. Row 2: triangle col 1, circle col 2, square col 3. Where is the circle in row 3?

Accepted Answer

column 3

Answer

The circle has been in col 1 and col 2, so by elimination it must appear in column 3 in row 3.

Question 4

A matrix shows shapes that are reflected horizontally as you move right across a row. A right-pointing arrow is in column 1. What does column 3 show after two horizontal reflections?

Accepted Answer

a right-pointing arrow

Answer

Two horizontal reflections cancel each other out, returning the arrow to its original right-pointing direction.

Question 5

A matrix row shows: star with 5 points, star with 6 points, star with 7 points. The next row shows: star with 4 points, star with 5 points, and what in the third cell?

Accepted Answer

star with 6 points

Answer

Each row adds one point per column; the second row starts at 4 and increases, making the third cell a 6-point star.
