UMAT Abstract Reasoning 3

Question 1

In a UMAT-style analogy: Circle is to Sphere as Square is to:

Accepted Answer

Cube

Answer

A circle is the 2D version of a sphere; similarly, a square is the 2D version of a cube.

Question 2

A sequence of figures shows: ●●●, ●●○, ●○○, ○○○. What pattern is being followed?

Accepted Answer

Each step converts one filled circle to an empty circle

Answer

In each step, one additional filled circle (●) becomes an empty circle (○), progressing from all filled to all empty.

Question 3

A matrix rule states each column contains each of three symbols exactly once. Column 1 has ★ and ▲. What must the missing symbol be?

Accepted Answer

●

Answer

Since the rule requires each symbol exactly once per column and ★ and ▲ are already present, the third symbol ● must complete the column.

Question 4

In an abstract reasoning task, all figures in Set A share a property: they contain exactly one axis of symmetry. Which figure would belong to Set A?

Accepted Answer

An isosceles triangle (1 axis)

Answer

An isosceles triangle has exactly one axis of symmetry (through its apex and the midpoint of its base), satisfying the Set A requirement.

Question 5

A figure is reflected across a vertical axis. The original has a star on the left side. After reflection, where is the star?

Accepted Answer

Right side

Answer

Reflection across a vertical axis swaps left and right, so an element on the left side appears on the right side after reflection.
