Question 1

A series reads: 7, 14, 28, 56, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

112

Answer

Each term doubles the previous one, so 56 × 2 = 112.

Question 2

Figures rotate 45° clockwise each step. After four steps from 0°, the arrow points at ___.

Accepted Answer

180°

Answer

Four steps of 45° each equals 180°, so the arrow points straight down.

Question 3

A number pattern: 3, 3, 6, 18, 72, ___. What is next?

Accepted Answer

360

Answer

Each term is multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in sequence; 72 × 5 = 360.

Question 4

In a pattern, shaded squares move one column to the right each step. At step 4, the shaded square is in column 5. At step 7, which column is it in?

Accepted Answer

8

Answer

The shaded square advances one column per step, so from step 4 to step 7 is 3 more steps: column 5 + 3 = 8.

A letter series: Z, X, V, T, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

R

Answer

Each letter decreases by 2 positions in the alphabet, so T − 2 = R.
