UDEE - Uniformed Division Entrance Figural Reasoning and Patterns Questions and Answers

Question 1

Observe the sequence of figures. Which of the answer choices correctly completes the series?

Accepted Answer

A figure where the outer shape of the previous figure becomes the inner shape of the next, and the inner shape becomes the new outer shape.

Answer

A figure with a triangle inside a circle.

Answer

A figure with a square inside a triangle.

Answer

A figure with a circle inside a square.

Question 2

A series of figures shows a primary shape rotating and a secondary, smaller shape moving between its corners. In the first figure, a square contains a small circle in the top-left corner. In the second, the square has rotated 45 degrees clockwise, and the circle has moved to the next corner, also clockwise. Which of the following describes the position and orientation in the fourth figure?

Accepted Answer

The square is rotated 135 degrees clockwise from the original position, and the circle is in the bottom-right corner.

Answer

The square is rotated 180 degrees from the original position, and the circle is in the bottom-left corner.

Answer

The square is rotated 135 degrees clockwise from the original position, and the circle is in the top-right corner.

Answer

The square is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the original position, and the circle is in the bottom-right corner.

Question 3

Which of the following principles is commonly tested in figural reasoning patterns on the UDEE?

Accepted Answer

Addition or subtraction of elements, where shapes or lines are added or removed in a sequence.

Answer

Complex mathematical calculations represented by shapes.

Answer

Knowledge of historical art styles reflected in the figures.

Answer

Reading comprehension of text embedded within the figures.

Question 4

Examine the 3x3 matrix of figures. The figures in each row and column follow a specific rule. The bottom-right figure is missing. Horizontally, the number of sides on the shape increases by one. Vertically, the shading of the shape cycles from striped, to solid, to clear. Given the figure in the center is a solid pentagon, and the figure to its right is a clear hexagon, what is the missing figure?

Accepted Answer

A clear octagon (8-sided shape).

Answer

A solid heptagon (7-sided shape).

Answer

A clear heptagon (7-sided shape).

Answer

A striped octagon (8-sided shape).

Question 5

A problem presents a pair of figures as an analogy: 'Figure A is to Figure B'. You must then find the figure that completes the second pair: 'Figure C is to ?'. Figure A is a large circle. Figure B is a small circle. Figure C is a large square. What is Figure D?

Accepted Answer

A small square.

Answer

A large triangle.

Answer

Two large squares.

Answer

A large square with a circle inside.

Question 6

Consider a pattern where a transparent sheet with a design is folded along a dotted line. The initial image shows a square sheet with a solid circle in the top-left quadrant and a hollow circle in the bottom-left quadrant. The dotted line runs vertically down the middle. Which of the following figures represents the result after the left side is folded over the right?

Accepted Answer

A rectangle showing a solid circle above a hollow circle on the right side.

Answer

A rectangle showing a solid circle and a hollow circle on the right side.
