Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Line and Angle Patterns 3

Question 1

In RPM, a line completes a full 360° rotation across 4 cells (one per cell). What is the per-cell rotation increment?

Accepted Answer

90°

Answer

Dividing 360° evenly among 4 cells gives 360° ÷ 4 = 90° per cell.

Question 2

An RPM matrix row has lines at 10°, 20°, and 40°. Which description best fits this sequence?

Accepted Answer

Geometric — each angle doubles

Answer

The angles 10°, 20°, 40° each double the previous value (×2), making this a geometric progression.

Question 3

In a 3×3 RPM matrix, cells along the main diagonal (top-left to bottom-right) show lines at 0°, 60°, and 120°. What angle would logically continue this diagonal pattern?

Accepted Answer

180°

Answer

The angles increase by 60° per step (0° → 60° → 120°), so the next step would be 120° + 60° = 180°.

Question 4

When two lines in an RPM cell form an angle of 40°, what is the complementary angle?

Accepted Answer

50°

Answer

Complementary angles sum to 90°, so the complement of 40° is 90° − 40° = 50°.

Question 5

An RPM matrix has lines that alternate between acute angles (less than 90°) and obtuse angles (greater than 90°) across each row. Which pattern does this represent?

Accepted Answer

Alternating angle pattern

Answer

When lines switch between two angle categories (acute/obtuse) in a regular back-and-forth manner, this is classified as an alternating pattern.
