UMAT Abstract Reasoning 2

Question 1

A UMAT abstract matrix has a rule: each row, the number of dots increases by 1. Row 1: 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots. Row 2: 4 dots, 5 dots, ? What is the missing value?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

The dots increase by 1 each cell: row 2 continues 4, 5, 6.

Question 2

Each figure in a sequence alternates between having a black fill and a white fill. If figure 1 is black, what is figure 6?

Accepted Answer

White

Answer

The alternating pattern is black (odd positions), white (even positions): figure 6 is at an even position, so it is white.

Question 3

In a UMAT matrix, the rule is: the shape in each column rotates 45° clockwise from the row above. A diamond (◇) is in row 1. What shape occupies row 2?

Accepted Answer

Square (□)

Answer

A diamond rotated 45° clockwise becomes a square, as its vertices align with the horizontal and vertical axes.

Question 4

In a pattern, each figure adds a new concentric ring. Figure 1 has 1 ring, Figure 3 has 3 rings. How many rings does Figure 5 have?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

The number of rings equals the figure number, so Figure 5 has 5 rings.

Question 5

A UMAT set categorization question: Set A figures all have an even number of sides, Set B figures all have an odd number of sides. A circle belongs to:

Accepted Answer

Neither

Answer

A circle has no sides (zero sides, or is considered to have infinite sides), so it does not fit neatly into either set defined by even or odd numbers of sides.
