Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Line and Angle Patterns 2

Question 1

A matrix row contains three cells where the line in each cell rotates 60° counterclockwise from the previous. If the first cell shows a vertical line (90°), what angle does the third cell show?

Accepted Answer

Both B and C are correct

Answer

Starting at 90°, subtract 60° twice: 90° − 60° = 30°, then 30° − 60° = −30°, which equals 330°; answers B and C both represent the same angle.

Question 2

Two lines intersect inside an RPM cell at a right angle. Across the matrix, this intersection rotates 45° per cell. After three cells, the original right angle has rotated by a total of:

Accepted Answer

90°

Answer

Three cells means two steps of rotation (from cell 1 to 2 and from cell 2 to 3), giving 2 × 45° = 90° total rotation.

Question 3

In RPM, when a line's angle increases by 30° per row and 45° per column, what is the total angular increase from the top-left cell to the bottom-right cell of a 3×3 matrix?

Accepted Answer

150°

Answer

Moving 2 rows down adds 2 × 30° = 60°, and moving 2 columns right adds 2 × 45° = 90°, for a total of 60° + 90° = 150°.

Question 4

An RPM cell contains a line at 75°. The next cell shows the supplementary angle. What angle appears in the next cell?

Accepted Answer

105°

Answer

Supplementary angles sum to 180°, so the supplementary angle of 75° is 180° − 75° = 105°.

Question 5

In an RPM matrix, the first row shows a line rotating clockwise: 0°, 45°, 90°. The second row starts at 90°. What is the most likely rule for how rows relate to each other?

Accepted Answer

Each row starts where the previous row ended

Answer

The first row ends at 90°, and the second row begins at 90°, indicating each row continues seamlessly where the prior row concluded.
