Bennett Spatial Reasoning Test

Question 1

Below is a cube and its net. Determine the letter on the cube's top.

Accepted Answer

R

Answer

To determine the top letter, visualize folding the 2D net into a 3D cube. If 'Q' is the front face and 'S' is the right face, then 'R' will naturally fold up to become the top face of the cube. 'P' would be the left face, and 'T' the bottom face.

Question 2

Choose the pair that has the same conditions for dot placement.

Accepted Answer

PQ

Answer

Analyze the dot placement in each figure to identify the common region it occupies. In figure P, the dot is located exclusively in the overlapping area of the circle and the triangle. Similarly, in figure Q, the dot is also found only in the intersection of the circle and the triangle. Figure R's dot is in the region common to all three shapes (circle, triangle, and square), making its condition different.

Question 3

Choose the best match between the figure and the unshaded fraction.

Accepted Answer

Answer

The figure is a square divided into 16 equal smaller squares. By counting the unshaded squares, we find there are 10 of them. Therefore, the unshaded fraction is 10/16, which simplifies to 5/8.

Question 4

Find the missing figure to complete the given series.

Accepted Answer

Answer

Observe the pattern of movement for each individual shape. The dot in the square moves clockwise one corner at a time, so it should be in the top-left corner. The line inside the triangle rotates 90 degrees clockwise with each step, so it should be horizontal, pointing right. The small square inside the circle moves clockwise one cardinal point at a time, so it should be on the left side.

Question 5

How many different routes are there from X to Y if EXACTLY one circle and two triangles must be crossed? (You can only move ALONG THE ARROWS.)

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

To find the number of routes, systematically trace all possible paths from X to Y that cross exactly one circle and two triangles. The valid paths are: X-T1-C1-T2-Y, X-T1-C1-T3-Y, X-T1-C2-T2-Y, X-T1-C2-T3-Y, and X-T4-C3-T5-Y. Counting these distinct paths reveals a total of 5 valid routes.
