PI Abstract Pattern Series 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A series reads: 7, 14, 28, 56, ___. What comes next?
- 96
- 102
- 112 (Correct answer)
- 120
Correct answer: 112
Each term doubles the previous one, so 56 × 2 = 112.
Question 2: Figures rotate 45° clockwise each step. After four steps from 0°, the arrow points at ___.
- 90°
- 135°
- 180° (Correct answer)
- 270°
Correct answer: 180°
Four steps of 45° each equals 180°, so the arrow points straight down.
Question 3: A number pattern: 3, 3, 6, 18, 72, ___. What is next?
- 216
- 288
- 360 (Correct answer)
- 432
Correct answer: 360
Each term is multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in sequence; 72 × 5 = 360.
Question 4: In a pattern, shaded squares move one column to the right each step. At step 4, the shaded square is in column 5. At step 7, which column is it in?
- 6
- 7
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 8
The shaded square advances one column per step, so from step 4 to step 7 is 3 more steps: column 5 + 3 = 8.
Question 5: A letter series: Z, X, V, T, ___. What comes next?
- Q
- R (Correct answer)
- S
- P
Correct answer: R
Each letter decreases by 2 positions in the alphabet, so T − 2 = R.
Question 6: A grid has three rows where each cell equals the product of its row and column number. What is the value in row 4, column 3?
- 7
- 9
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 16
Correct answer: 12
Row 4 × column 3 = 4 × 3 = 12.
Question 7: A series of shapes alternates between increasing sides: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, ___.
- Hexagon
- Octagon
- Heptagon (Correct answer)
- Circle
Correct answer: Heptagon
Each shape gains one additional side, so after hexagon (6) comes heptagon (7).
