UDEE Figural Reasoning Patterns Questions and Answers 1

Question 1

Observe the sequence of figures. Which of the options correctly completes the series?

Figure 1: A large square contains a small, solid black circle in the top-left corner.
Figure 2: The black circle has moved to the top-right corner.
Figure 3: The black circle has moved to the bottom-right corner.
Figure 4: ?

Accepted Answer

A large square with a black circle in the bottom-left corner.

Answer

The pattern involves the small black circle moving one corner clockwise with each step. The sequence is top-left, top-right, bottom-right. The next logical position is the bottom-left corner.

Question 2

Study the relationship between the first pair of figures. Apply the same logic to the third figure to find its matching pair.

[Figure A: A pentagon with a small triangle inside] is to [Figure B: A triangle with a small pentagon inside] as [Figure C: A circle with a small square inside] is to ?

Accepted Answer

A square with a small circle inside.

Answer

The relationship in the first pair is that the outer and inner shapes swap positions. Applying this logic, the outer circle and inner square in Figure C must swap, resulting in a large square with a small circle inside.

Question 3

Examine the following figures. Three of them are alike in some way, while one is different. Which figure is the odd one out?

A) A shape with 3 straight sides and 3 internal dots.
B) A shape with 4 straight sides and 4 internal dots.
C) A shape with 5 straight sides and 4 internal dots.
D) A shape with 6 straight sides and 6 internal dots.

Accepted Answer

C

Answer

In figures A, B, and D, the number of straight sides of the main shape is equal to the number of internal dots. Figure C is the exception, as it has 5 sides but only 4 dots.

Question 4

A 3x3 grid contains figures in eight of the cells. Determine the pattern and select the figure that should be in the empty cell (bottom-right).

Row 1: [Solid Arrow Up], [Outlined Arrow Up], [Striped Arrow Up]
Row 2: [Solid Arrow Right], [Outlined Arrow Right], [Striped Arrow Right]
Row 3: [Solid Arrow Down], [Outlined Arrow Down], [?]

Accepted Answer

A Striped Arrow Down.

Answer

The pattern follows two rules. Down each column, the fill pattern of the arrow is consistent (Column 1 is solid, 2 is outlined, 3 is striped). Across each row, the direction of the arrow is consistent (Row 1 is up, 2 is right, 3 is down). The missing figure must be in Row 3 (pointing down) and Column 3 (striped fill).

Question 5

Imagine a square piece of paper is folded in half from top to bottom. Then, it is folded again in half from left to right. A circular hole is punched in the bottom-right corner of the resulting small square. What will the paper look like when fully unfolded?

Accepted Answer

Four holes, one in each corner of the paper.

Answer

When the paper is unfolded from right to left, the hole is mirrored, creating a second hole in the bottom-left corner. When it is then unfolded from bottom to top, these two holes are mirrored to the top half, creating two more holes in the top-left and top-right corners. The final result is four holes, one in each corner of the large square.
