A pattern matrix shows shapes changing across rows and down columns. Across each row, the shape gains one side. Down each column, the shape changes from white to grey to black. What shape is in position Row 2, Column 3?
Answer: Grey pentagon
Row 2 means grey shading. Column 3 means the shape started with 3 sides (triangle) and gained 2 more sides = 5 sides = pentagon. So the answer is a grey pentagon.
A shape has point symmetry (rotational symmetry of order 2) but no line symmetry. Which shape could it be?
Answer: Parallelogram (non-rectangle)
A parallelogram (that is not a rectangle) has rotational symmetry of order 2 — it looks the same after 180 degrees — but has no lines of symmetry.
A sequence of grids is shown. Grid 1: one cell shaded in corner. Grid 2: two cells shaded along edge. Grid 3: three cells shaded in L-shape. What is the total number of shaded cells in the first 10 grids?
Answer: 55
Grid n has n shaded cells. The total for 10 grids = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55.
A shape is reflected in a diagonal line (from top-left to bottom-right). An arrow points upward. After reflection, which direction does it point?
Answer: Right
Reflecting in a diagonal line (y = x) swaps the x and y coordinates. An upward arrow (positive y direction) becomes a right-pointing arrow (positive x direction).
In a visual analogy, a full glass relates to an empty glass. A closed book relates to what?
Answer: An open book
The relationship is between opposite states: full/empty, closed/open. A closed book relates to an open book.
A 4×4 grid contains one shape in each cell. No shape repeats in any row or column. If Row 1 is: circle, square, triangle, star — and Column 1 is: circle, triangle, star, square — what is in Row 2, Column 2?
Answer: Star
Row 2 starts with triangle (from Column 1). Row 2 cannot have circle, square, triangle, or star in positions already used. Column 2 has square in Row 1. Row 2 has triangle in Column 1. So Row 2 Column 2 cannot be triangle or square. It must be circle or star. Checking: Column 2 cannot repeat square, so options are circle, triangle, star. Row 2 cannot repeat triangle. So Row 2 Col 2 can be circle or star. With further deduction, star fits.
