NNAT Serial Reasoning 3

Question 1

Each frame in a serial pattern shows the same shape shrinking by one size step. Frame 1 shows a large circle, frame 2 shows a medium circle. What does frame 4 show?

Accepted Answer

An extra-small circle

Answer

Each frame reduces the size by one step: large → medium → small → extra-small, so frame 4 is extra-small.

Question 2

In a 3×3 matrix, shapes in each column grow darker from top to bottom: white on top, gray in the middle, ___ at the bottom. What shade completes the column?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

The column darkens progressively from white to gray to black.

Question 3

A serial pattern alternates: 1 shape, 1 shape with a line through it, 2 shapes, 2 shapes with a line, ___. What appears next?

Accepted Answer

3 shapes

Answer

Each plain/crossed pair increases the count by 1, so the next plain group contains 3 shapes.

Question 4

A right-pointing arrow rotates 90° counterclockwise at each step. Starting at step 1 pointing right, which direction does it point at step 3?

Accepted Answer

Left

Answer

Right → up (step 2) → left (step 3), so at step 3 the arrow points left.

Question 5

A shading pattern cycles through three sections of a shape: top, middle, bottom, top, middle, ___. If step 1 has the top shaded, which section is shaded at step 5?

Accepted Answer

Middle

Answer

The 3-step cycle gives step 5 the same phase as step 2 (middle), because 5 mod 3 = 2.
