Practice realistic matrix reasoning questions used in job assessments, graduate programs, and aptitude tests.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row follows the same rule:
The triangle rotates 45° clockwise from left to right.
Row 1: 0° → 45° → 90°
Row 2: 45° → 90° → 135°
Row 3: 90° → 135° → 180°
So the missing shape must be the triangle rotated to 180°, which is option C.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
The dot’s position changes in a structured way:
Across each row, the dot moves left → center → right.
Down each column, the dot moves top → middle → bottom.
So the missing cell must place the dot in the bottom-right position.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row follows an addition rule:
First cell + second cell = third cell.
Row 1: 1 dot + 2 dots = 3 dots
Row 2: 2 dots + 2 dots = 4 dots
Row 3: 3 dots + 2 dots = 5 dots
So the missing answer is B.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
The square increases in size from left to right in each row.
Row 1: small → medium → large
Row 2: medium → large → extra large
Row 3: large → extra large → largest
So the missing answer is the largest square, which is option C.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
The line rotates 45° clockwise at each step.
Row 1: horizontal → diagonal → vertical
Row 2: diagonal → vertical → diagonal
Row 3: vertical → diagonal → horizontal
So the missing answer is the horizontal line, which is option D.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row contains the same three shapes: circle, square, triangle.
The order shifts one step to the left in each new row:
Row 1: circle → square → triangle
Row 2: square → triangle → circle
Row 3: triangle → circle → square
So the missing answer is C.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row follows the same reflection rule:
1. The first shape is reflected horizontally to create the second shape.
2. The second shape is reflected vertically to create the third shape.
Row 3: top-right → top-left → bottom-left
So the missing answer is B.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Two rules happen at the same time:
1. Across each row, the shape changes: circle → square → triangle.
2. Down each row, the number of shapes increases: 1 → 2 → 3.
So the missing cell must contain 3 triangles, which is option C.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row follows a combination rule:
1. The first cell contains one shape or shape group.
2. The second cell adds another shape.
3. The third cell combines the shapes from the first two cells.
Row 3: circle + triangle, then square → circle + triangle + square
So the correct answer is B.
A) Option A
B) Option B
C) Option C
D) Option D
Each row follows a rotation rule:
1. Across each row, the arrow rotates 90° clockwise.
2. Each new row starts slightly further clockwise than the row above.
Row 3: down → left → up
So the missing answer is B.
