Question 1

Shapes in a matrix follow this rule: each cell's shape is the result of subtracting the middle column shape from the left column shape. If left=hexagon(6 sides) and middle=square(4 sides), the right shape has how many sides?

Accepted Answer

2 (a line)

Answer

6 − 4 = 2, which represents a shape with 2 sides (a line segment).

Question 2

A series alternates between two rules: ×2 and +3. Starting from 1: 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, ___?

Accepted Answer

26

Answer

Pattern: ×2=2, +3=5, ×2=10, +3=13, ×2=26.

Question 3

An analogy: BCDE is to EFGH as MNOP is to ___?

Accepted Answer

QRST

Answer

BCDE shifts forward 4 positions to become EFGH; similarly MNOP shifts 4 to become QRST.

Question 4

If △ means add 3, ○ means subtract 2, and □ means multiply by 2, what is the result of 5 △ ○ □?

Accepted Answer

12

Answer

5+3=8; 8−2=6; 6×2=12.

Question 5

In a visual sequence, a shaded region inside a shape moves one vertex clockwise each step. If it starts at the top-left of a square, where is it in step 3?

Accepted Answer

Bottom-left

Answer

Top-left → Top-right (step 2) → Bottom-right (step 3) — wait, that is bottom-right not bottom-left; step 2=top-right, step 3=bottom-right.
