Revelian Test Abstract Pattern Recognition 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In each figure, the number of shapes inside a large circle follows: 1, 3, 5, 7. What property defines this sequence?
- Consecutive odd numbers (Correct answer)
- Prime numbers
- Fibonacci numbers
- Multiples of 3
Correct answer: Consecutive odd numbers
1, 3, 5, 7 are consecutive odd numbers, each increasing by 2.
Question 2: A figure is reflected horizontally, then the reflection is rotated 180°. The result is the same as performing which single transformation?
- Vertical reflection (Correct answer)
- Horizontal rotation by 90°
- No transformation
- Diagonal reflection
Correct answer: Vertical reflection
A horizontal reflection followed by a 180° rotation is equivalent to a vertical reflection.
Question 3: In a series, the outer shape changes (circle→square→triangle), while the inner shape stays fixed as a star. What changes in each step?
- Only the outer container shape (Correct answer)
- Only the inner shape
- Both shapes simultaneously
- The number of shapes
Correct answer: Only the outer container shape
The inner star remains constant while only the outer containing shape cycles through different forms.
Question 4: A 4×4 grid is shaded in a diagonal stripe pattern from top-left to bottom-right. How many cells are shaded if the stripe covers all cells where row number equals column number?
- 4 (Correct answer)
- 8
- 6
- 2
Correct answer: 4
In a 4×4 grid, the cells where row=column are (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4) — exactly 4 cells.
Question 5: Each figure in a sequence gains one additional line of symmetry. Figure 1 has none, Figure 2 has 1, Figure 3 has 2. What is Figure 5?
- A shape with 4 lines of symmetry (Correct answer)
- A shape with 5 lines of symmetry
- A shape with 3 lines of symmetry
- A circle with infinite symmetry
Correct answer: A shape with 4 lines of symmetry
Figure 5 has 4 lines of symmetry, following the pattern where each figure adds one symmetry line.
Question 6: In an odd-one-out question, four figures each have a pattern inside: stripes, dots, checkers, stripes. Which is the odd one out?
- Checkers (Correct answer)
- First stripes figure
- Dots
- Second stripes figure
Correct answer: Checkers
Checkers is the only fill pattern that is fundamentally different from the others — stripes and dots are linear/point patterns.
Question 7: A series of clock faces shows: 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00. What time comes next?
- 12:00 (Correct answer)
- 3:00
- 6:00
- 9:30
Correct answer: 12:00
The hour hand advances 90° clockwise each step (3 hours), so after 9:00 the cycle returns to 12:00.
