Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Figure Rotation and Reflection 5

Question 1

In a 3×3 Raven's matrix, the transformation rule is: each figure rotates 90° counter-clockwise from the previous column. The figure in column 1 has a flag pointing right. In column 3, the flag points:

Accepted Answer

Left

Answer

Two 90° counter-clockwise rotations (180° total) turn a right-pointing flag to point left.

Question 2

A figure is reflected first across the vertical axis, then across the horizontal axis. The combined effect is the same as:

Accepted Answer

A 180° rotation

Answer

Reflecting across the vertical axis then the horizontal axis is equivalent to a 180° rotation about the center.

Question 3

An arrow points to 10 o'clock on a clock face. After a 120° clockwise rotation, it points to:

Accepted Answer

2 o'clock

Answer

120° clockwise from 10 o'clock (which is at 300°) adds 120°, reaching 60° — the 2 o'clock position.

Question 4

In a Raven's matrix, the figures show a progressive rotation. The first figure is tilted 15° from vertical. Each subsequent figure adds 15°. What is the tilt of the 5th figure?

Accepted Answer

75°

Answer

The 5th figure has a tilt of 15° × 5 = 75° from vertical.

Question 5

Which of the following objects has reflective symmetry but NOT rotational symmetry (other than 360°)?

Accepted Answer

The letter A

Answer

The letter A has one vertical line of reflective symmetry but no rotational symmetry under 360°, unlike geometric shapes like squares or hexagons.
