Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Continuous Pattern Progression 4

Question 1

A 3×3 matrix uses a continuous pattern where each shape contains a number of interior dots equal to (row × column). What number of dots belongs in the cell at row 2, column 3?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

2 × 3 = 6 interior dots for that cell.

Question 2

A continuous line-length pattern in a matrix increases each horizontal line by 2 units per column. Column 1 has a 2-unit line. What length does the missing column 3 cell display?

Accepted Answer

6 units

Answer

Column 1 = 2, column 2 = 4, column 3 = 6 units.

Question 3

In a 3×3 matrix, each row shows a shape with a border that gains one side per row (row 1=triangle, row 2=square, row 3=pentagon). Each column shading cycles black→grey→white. What is in row 3, column 3?

Accepted Answer

White pentagon

Answer

Row 3 gives a pentagon and column 3 gives white shading.

Question 4

A continuous ripple pattern adds one concentric ring per cell moving left to right. Cell 1 has 1 ring, cell 2 has 2, etc. In a 3×3 matrix, the bottom-right cell is missing. How many rings does it contain?

Accepted Answer

3

Answer

Moving across three columns, ring count resets per row, so the third column always has 3 rings.

Question 5

Each row in a matrix has shapes whose internal angles sum continuously increases: row 1 sums to 180°, row 2 to 360°, row 3 to 540°. What polygon fills row 3 in this pattern?

Accepted Answer

Pentagon

Answer

Interior angles summing to 540° corresponds to a pentagon, since (n-2)×180°=540° gives n=5.
