Question 1: In a sequence of shapes, a triangle is followed by a square, then a pentagon, then a hexagon. What shape comes next?
- Heptagon (Correct answer)
- Octagon
- Circle
- Triangle
Correct answer: Heptagon
Each shape adds one side to the previous shape, so after a hexagon (6 sides) comes a heptagon (7 sides).
Question 2: A pattern shows: 2, 6, 18, 54. What rule governs this sequence?
- Each number is multiplied by 3 (Correct answer)
- Each number is multiplied by 2
- Each number adds 12
- Each number is squared
Correct answer: Each number is multiplied by 3
Each term is the previous term multiplied by 3 (2×3=6, 6×3=18, 18×3=54).
Question 3: If all Bloops are Razzles and all Razzles are Lazzles, which statement must be true?
- All Bloops are Lazzles (Correct answer)
- All Lazzles are Bloops
- All Razzles are Bloops
- No Bloops are Lazzles
Correct answer: All Bloops are Lazzles
Since Bloops are a subset of Razzles, which are a subset of Lazzles, all Bloops must also be Lazzles.
Question 4: A grid shows symbols rotating 90 degrees clockwise in each cell from left to right. The third cell contains an arrow pointing down. What direction did the arrow point in the first cell?
- Right
- Left
- Up (Correct answer)
- Down
Correct answer: Up
Rotating 90 degrees clockwise twice from up gives right then down, so the first cell had an upward arrow.
Question 5: In a matrix, rows follow the pattern: solid circle, striped circle, empty circle. Columns follow: small, medium, large. What belongs in the cell at row 2, column 3?
- Large striped circle (Correct answer)
- Small solid circle
- Large solid circle
- Medium empty circle
Correct answer: Large striped circle
Row 2 corresponds to striped and column 3 corresponds to large, giving a large striped circle.
Question 6: A sequence of numbers reads: 3, 5, 9, 17, 33. What is the next number?
- 65 (Correct answer)
- 49
- 57
- 66
Correct answer: 65
Each number doubles the previous number and subtracts 1 (3×2-1=5, 5×2-1=9, 9×2-1=17, 17×2-1=33, 33×2-1=65).
