Question 1

A series shows: filled triangle, outline triangle, filled triangle, outline triangle... What is the 9th figure?

Accepted Answer

Filled triangle

Answer

The pattern alternates: odd positions are filled, even positions are outline. Position 9 is odd, so it is a filled triangle.

Question 2

A visual matrix: Row 1 = small shapes, Row 2 = medium shapes, Row 3 = large shapes. Column 1 = circles, Column 2 = squares, Column 3 = triangles. What is at Row 3, Column 2?

Accepted Answer

Large square

Answer

Row 3 = large; Column 2 = square. Position (3,2) = large square.

Question 3

A 4×4 grid must contain exactly one each of ★, ●, ▲, ■ per row and column. Row 1: ★, ●, ?, ■. What fills the blank?

Accepted Answer

▲

Answer

Row 1 already has ★, ●, ■. The only missing symbol is ▲.

Question 4

An abstract figure series shows: 1 shaded square, then 2 shaded squares, then 4 shaded squares. How many shaded squares appear in the 5th figure?

Accepted Answer

16

Answer

The number of shaded squares doubles each step: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. The 5th figure has 16.

Question 5

In a figure series, each shape is rotated 45 degrees clockwise from the previous. If the first shape points up (like an arrow), what direction does the 5th shape point?

Accepted Answer

Up

Answer

Each step rotates 45°. After 4 steps (to reach the 5th shape): 4×45°=180°. Wait — shape 1 is 0°, shape 5 is at 4×45°=180°. Down. Actually shape 1=0°, shape 5=180°=down.
