Abstract Reasoning Test - 11

The correct answer is Set B because one of the shapes contains half (or less) of a circle. This is the common feature for all six of the Set B figures. The position, size and colour of each of the figures doesn’t affect the answer.

Correct Answer; Set B

Each block in the series contains three rows of squares. There are 3 rules; The black square in the top row and the black square in the bottom row take turns in moving one place to the left along their respective rows. The second rule is that the black square in the middle row moves two places to the right along its row. The third rule is that when a black square reaches the end of a row it returns to the start of its horizontal row.

Correct Answer; C

Each block in the series contains two columns of three squares. The ‘black shading’ rotates around the “perimeter made by the two columns combined”, by one square at a time.

Correct Answer; A

The correct answer is Set A because the arrow is pointing to a circle. This is the common feature for all six of the Set A blocks. The position, size and colour of each of the figures doesn’t affect the answer.

Correct Answer; Set A

There are four triangles with one in each corner. At each step of the series: the top right-hand corner triangle rotates by 180-degrees; the top left-hand corner triangle rotates by 90-degrees in an anticlockwise direction; the bottom right-hand corner triangle rotates by 180-degrees; and the bottom left-hand corner triangle rotates by 90-degrees in an anticlockwise direction.

Correct Answer; E

In the question the key rule is that the number of 'star' shapes in the central column must always equal the number of double circle shapes.

✲ = ⌾

If there are no star shapes there should be no circle shapes. If there are three star shapes, there should be three circle shapes. Option F is the only one that abides by this rule.

In this question, the shapes in the final images in each row (at the right hand side) are always the same as the shapes in that row which have an arrow pointing away from them.

So, in the top row there are two arrows pointing outwards and they are pointing away from a circle and a hexagon. In row two, the outward pointing arrow is pointing away from a love heart,

The correct answer is C because there are two outward pointing arrows in the third row and they are pointing away from a triangle and a square

Each block in the series contains two arrows. The position of the first arrow starts in the bottom left-hand corner and the position of the second arrow starts in the bottom right-hand corner. The first arrow starts long and the second arrow starts short. At each step in the series: the first arrow decreases gradually in length, whilst the second arrow increases gradually in length. At each step in the series: the first arrow moves a step along an invisible diagonal line connecting the bottom left-hand corner with the top righthand corner; and the second arrow moves a step along an invisible diagonal line connecting the bottom right-hand corner with the top left-hand corner.

Correct Answer; D

In this question the diagonal line changes direction with each step so it is alternating between touching the bottom left/top right corner and the top left/bottom right corner. The black circle is moving around the box in an anti-clockwise direction and finally the white circle simply remains above the line in every stage of the sequence.

In this question, every box must contain two square shapes in the corners of the box. It does not matter which corners, or which other shapes are inside the box. The only criterion is that there must be two squares placed amongst the four corners. Option A is the only one that does this.
