Question 1

A series of shapes alternates: circle, square, triangle, circle, square, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Triangle

Answer

The pattern repeats in a cycle of three (circle, square, triangle), so the 6th item is triangle.

Question 2

Each figure in a row has one more side than the previous. The row starts with a triangle. What is the 5th figure?

Accepted Answer

Hexagon

Answer

Triangle (3 sides) → 4 → 5 → 6 sides = hexagon at position 5.

Question 3

In a 3×3 matrix, each row contains a black circle, a white circle, and a grey circle in some order. The first row is black-white-grey and the second row is white-grey-black. What is the correct order for the third row?

Accepted Answer

Grey-black-white

Answer

Each column must contain all three shades, so the third row fills the remaining shade in each column: grey-black-white.

Question 4

A pattern shows numbers: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___. Which rule describes this sequence?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 2 each time

Answer

Each term is double the previous (2×2=4, 4×2=8, 8×2=16), so the rule is multiply by 2.

Question 5

Shapes in a sequence rotate 90° clockwise with each step. If the arrow points right in step 1, where does it point in step 5?

Accepted Answer

Right

Answer

Four 90° rotations complete a full 360° cycle, so step 5 returns to the same position as step 1 — pointing right.
