Abstract Reasoning Test - 7

After, careful observation of the pieces given in the question figure. It is clear that figure (1) must be formed.

Each block in the series contains three rows of three circles. At each step in the series there are two rules. The first is that the black shading of each circle moves across the row of circles, one circle at a time. The second rule is that as the circles reach the end of a row, it moves to the beginning of the same row.

The black circles in the top and bottom rows both move one step to the right from block to block (returning to the left once they get to the end); whereas the black circle in the second row moves one step to the left at each step of the series (and vice versa about restarting the row)

Each block in the series contains 4 shapes. At each step in the series one of these shapes rotates by 90-degrees; with the square rotating first, then the triangle, then the first semicircle plus diagonal, then the second semi-circle plus diagonal.

Each block in the series contains three circles in 3 of the 4 corners of the block. At each step in the series there are two rules. The first is that the 3 circles rotate by one corner clockwise round the block. The second rule is that the second white circle turns black, then the third circle turns black, the first circle turns white, the second circle turns white, and finally the third circle turns white.

The next figure will be B:

The '+' sign at the bottom right corner of figure A is in the upper right corner of figure B, the smaller circle at the top corner of figure A is enlarged and placed at the center in figure B and the enlarged horizontal line in figure A is reduced and placed in the bottom right corner in figure B.

Following the same criteria, the triangle will be placed in the upper left corner, the square will be enlarged and placed in the center and the enlarged rectangle will be reduced in size and will be placed in the bottom right corner in the answer figure.

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.

In this question the sequence runs from left to right. The blue ‘row’ of circles runs in the sequence 1-2-3-1-2-3. This means that the correct answer must have three blue circles on the left. Further, these blue circles move position with each step in the sequence. They move in the order Top-Middle-Bottom-Top-Middle-Bottom. This means that the correct answer must have the three blue circles placed at the bottom of the square. Finally, there must always be two white and two filled circles at the right hand side of the square. Option B is the only square that meets all three criteria.

The large blue cross contains one white cross in the first box. As the sequence progresses, the number of white crosses increases by one each time. There is also a circle that is placed next to the box. This moves around the box one place at a time in a clockwise direction.

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.

The correct answer is Set A because one of the shapes is half of a square’s shape (the first triangle). This is the common feature for all six of the Set A figures. The position, size and colour of each of the figures doesn’t affect the answer.
