11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A square is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. A circle inside it is in the top-left corner. Where is the circle now?
- Top-right (Correct answer)
- Bottom-left
- Bottom-right
- Top-left
Correct answer: Top-right
When a square is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the top-left position moves to the top-right position.
Question 2: What comes next in the pattern? Triangle, Square, Pentagon, ?
- Hexagon (Correct answer)
- Circle
- Octagon
- Rectangle
Correct answer: Hexagon
The pattern shows shapes with increasing numbers of sides: 3, 4, 5, so the next shape has 6 sides — a hexagon.
Question 3: A shape is reflected in a vertical mirror line. If an arrow points left, which direction does the reflected arrow point?
- Left
- Right (Correct answer)
- Up
- Down
Correct answer: Right
A vertical mirror line reverses the horizontal direction. An arrow pointing left becomes an arrow pointing right.
Question 4: In a sequence of shapes, each shape adds one more dot. Shape 1 has 2 dots, Shape 2 has 4 dots, Shape 3 has 6 dots. How many dots does Shape 5 have?
- 8
- 10 (Correct answer)
- 12
- 14
Correct answer: 10
Each shape adds 2 dots: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Shape 5 has 10 dots.
Question 5: A cube is unfolded. Which net cannot form a cube?
- A cross shape with 6 squares
- A T-shape with 6 squares
- A straight line of 6 squares (Correct answer)
- An L-shape with 6 squares
Correct answer: A straight line of 6 squares
A straight line of 6 squares cannot be folded into a cube because the squares would overlap. All other arrangements can fold into valid cubes.
Question 6: If a pattern shows shapes rotating 45 degrees each step, how many steps until the shape returns to its original position?
- 4
- 6
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 10
Correct answer: 8
A full rotation is 360 degrees. At 45 degrees per step: 360 ÷ 45 = 8 steps to return to the original position.
