NNAT Matrix Reasoning 5

Question 1

A 3x3 matrix has a rule where the total number of sides of all shapes in each row equals 12. Row 2 has a hexagon (6 sides) and a triangle (3 sides). What shape completes row 2?

Accepted Answer

a triangle

Answer

12 minus 6 minus 3 equals 3 sides needed, so a triangle completes the row.

Question 2

In a matrix, row 2 shows double the quantity of shapes compared to row 1, and row 3 shows double row 2. Row 1 has 1 shape. How many shapes does row 3 have?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Doubling 1 gives 2 for row 2, and doubling 2 gives 4 for row 3.

Question 3

A matrix uses an XOR visual rule: column 3 shows only the non-overlapping regions of columns 1 and 2. Column 1 has a circle on the left half; column 2 has a circle on the right half. What does column 3 show?

Accepted Answer

a full circle

Answer

Since the left-half circle and right-half circle do not overlap, both halves appear in column 3, forming a complete circle.

Question 4

A matrix pattern shows each shape rotated 45 degrees clockwise as you move right. Starting with a square oriented normally, what does it look like after three 45-degree clockwise rotations?

Accepted Answer

a square rotated 135 degrees, resembling a diamond tilted sideways

Answer

Three 45-degree rotations equal 135 degrees total, giving a square tilted 135 degrees from its original position.

Question 5

A matrix rule states that each row's center cell is always the average size of the left and right cells. The left cell has a large shape and the right cell has a small shape. What size is the center cell?

Accepted Answer

medium

Answer

The average size between large and small is medium, so the center cell contains a medium-sized shape.
