Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Logical Figure Operations 3

Question 1

In a matrix, each row's figures are combined by overlaying them and removing any overlapping lines. Two overlapping squares produce an empty center. What do two overlapping triangles produce?

Accepted Answer

A triangle with an empty center region

Answer

Overlaying two congruent triangles and removing shared lines leaves a triangle outline with the inner overlap erased.

Question 2

A series shows figures where the number of sides doubles each step: 3, 6, 12. What is the next figure's side count?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

The rule doubles the side count each step, so after 12 comes 24.

Question 3

In a 3×3 matrix, the shaded region moves one cell clockwise around the border of the matrix with each step. If the shaded cell is at top-left in position 1, where is it in position 5?

Accepted Answer

Top-right

Answer

Moving clockwise around 8 border cells, position 5 places the shaded cell at the top-right corner.

Question 4

Each figure in a row is the previous figure reflected horizontally. If the first figure is a right-pointing arrow, what is the third figure?

Accepted Answer

Right-pointing arrow

Answer

Two horizontal reflections cancel each other out, returning the figure to its original orientation.

Question 5

A matrix operation subtracts the elements of the second figure from the first figure. Figure 1 has 5 dots and Figure 2 has 3 dots; Figure 3 is the result. How many dots does Figure 3 have?

Accepted Answer

2

Answer

The subtraction operation removes Figure 2's 3 dots from Figure 1's 5 dots, leaving 2 dots.
