Q1 · Figure Completion · EASY
A square is divided into four equal parts. Three parts contain the symbols: a circle, a triangle, and a plus sign. The fourth part is empty. To complete the pattern, which symbol should be placed in the empty part? Given that the pattern follows: Circle (top-left), Triangle (top-right), Plus (bottom-left), and the missing symbol should maintain rotational symmetry. Options show: Star, Cross, Square, Circle
Q2 · Figure Completion · MEDIUM
A hexagonal figure is shown with five of its six triangular sections filled with patterns: vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines (left to right), diagonal lines (right to left), and dots. One section is blank. Which pattern completes the figure? The patterns appear in clockwise order and the missing section is between the dots section and vertical lines section.
Q3 · Figure Completion · MEDIUM
An incomplete circular diagram is divided into 8 equal sectors. Seven sectors contain numbers following a pattern: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50. One sector is empty. However, this is accompanied by a visual element where each number is represented by that many small dots arranged in a specific shape (rectangular array). What should complete the 8th sector? Note: The pattern of numbers follows n² + 1 where n starts from 1.
Q4 · Figure Completion · HARD
A complex figure shows a 3×3 grid where each cell contains overlapping geometric shapes. The pattern follows specific rules: - Row-wise: Each row contains exactly 3 circles, 3 squares, and 3 triangles distributed across the 3 cells. - Column-wise: Each column also contains exactly 3 circles, 3 squares, and 3 triangles. - Each cell contains exactly 3 shapes overlapping. Eight cells are filled. The bottom-right cell is empty. Given: - Bottom row already has: Cell 1 (circle, square, triangle), Cell 2 (circle, square, triangle) - Right column already has: Cell 1 (square, triangle, circle), Cell 2 (triangle, circle, square) Counting all shapes: Circles=8, Squares=8, Triangles=8 in the completed grid except last cell. What must the bottom-right cell contain?
Q5 · Figure Completion · MEDIUM
In a figure sequence, three squares are shown with patterns: Square 1 has 2 dots, Square 2 has 4 dots, Square 3 has 6 dots. Which figure should come next to complete the pattern?
