RBC Assessment: Abstract Reasoning 3

Question 1

Three figures are shown: a pentagon with a star inside, a hexagon with a circle inside, a heptagon with a triangle inside. What shape is inside a square if this pattern continues in reverse?

Accepted Answer

Star

Answer

The outer shape decreases in sides and the inner shape cycles star→circle→triangle→star; reversing from pentagon gives a square with a star.

Question 2

A matrix rule states: the value in any cell equals the product of its row number and column number. What value belongs in row 3, column 4?

Accepted Answer

12

Answer

Row 3 × Column 4 = 12.

Question 3

Each row in a pattern contains one large shape, one medium shape, and one small shape. Each column contains exactly one circle, one square, and one triangle. A circle appears in row 1 column 1 and row 2 column 3. Where must the circle appear in row 3?

Accepted Answer

Column 2

Answer

Since columns 1 and 3 already have circles, row 3's circle must go in column 2.

Question 4

An abstract sequence shows arrows pointing: right, down, left, up, right, down... Which direction does the 11th arrow point?

Accepted Answer

Left

Answer

The cycle length is 4; 11 ÷ 4 = remainder 3, which corresponds to the 3rd direction: left.

Question 5

In a figure set, each shape is reflected horizontally and then one element is removed. The original has a triangle, circle, and star. The first transformation removes the triangle. The second removes the circle. What does the third figure contain?

Accepted Answer

Only the star

Answer

Elements are removed one by one in sequence, leaving only the star in the third figure.
