RBC Assessment: Abstract Reasoning 2

Question 1

A sequence shows: circle with 1 dot, square with 2 dots, triangle with 3 dots, circle with 4 dots. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Square with 5 dots

Answer

The shapes cycle circle→square→triangle and the dot count increases by 1 each step, so the next shape is a square with 5 dots.

Question 2

Each row contains three figures where the shading moves one position clockwise per step. If the top-left figure is shaded in position 1, where is the shading in the third figure of the same row?

Accepted Answer

Position 3

Answer

Moving clockwise one step per figure, position 1 → position 2 → position 3.

Question 3

In a 3×3 matrix, each row sums to 15 and each column sums to 15. The top row contains 6, 1, 8. The middle row contains 7, 5, 3. What is the missing value in the bottom-left cell if the bottom row is ?, 9, 2?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

The bottom row must sum to 15: ? + 9 + 2 = 15, so ? = 4.

Question 4

A pattern alternates between a large black shape and a small white shape of the same type. If the series begins: large black circle, small white circle, large black square... what is the 5th figure?

Accepted Answer

Large black triangle

Answer

Odd-numbered positions are large black shapes and the shape type advances: circle→square→triangle, making the 5th figure a large black triangle.

Question 5

Figures in a series gain one side per step: triangle (3), square (4), pentagon (5)... Which figure appears 4th?

Accepted Answer

Hexagon

Answer

Each step adds one side starting from 3, so the 4th figure has 3 + 3 = 6 sides — a hexagon.
