Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Logical Figure Operations 4

Question 1

A matrix contains shapes where the interior pattern shifts one notch darker with each column: white → light gray → dark gray. If the top-left is white and the rule holds, what is the color of the bottom-right cell (column 3)?

Accepted Answer

Dark gray

Answer

Each column step darkens the fill by one level, so column 3 is always dark gray regardless of row.

Question 2

In a progressive matrix, the number of shapes per cell follows the sequence 1, 2, 4 across the top row and 2, 4, 8 across the middle row. What is the first number in the bottom row?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Each row doubles the values of the previous row at the same column position, so the bottom row starts at 4.

Question 3

A figure transformation replaces every straight line with a curved line and every curve with a straight line. Applied to a circle, what is the result?

Accepted Answer

A square

Answer

A circle consists entirely of curves; replacing every curve with a straight line produces a square (or polygon with straight sides).

Question 4

In a 3×3 matrix, the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right always contains the same shape. The top-left is a hexagon and the center is a hexagon. What is the bottom-right?

Accepted Answer

Hexagon

Answer

The main diagonal rule requires the same shape in all three diagonal cells, so the bottom-right must also be a hexagon.

Question 5

A matrix operation XORs two figures: shared elements disappear and unique elements remain. Figure A has a square and circle; Figure B has a circle and triangle. What is A XOR B?

Accepted Answer

Square and triangle

Answer

XOR keeps only elements unique to each figure; the circle is shared and disappears, leaving the square (from A) and triangle (from B).
