Matrix reasoning questions and answers

Column determines horizontal position — column 0 cells sit at the left of the cell, column 1 at the centre, column 2 at…

**Rule: Rotation alternates by row; size grows down each column.** - Row 1 and row 3 both rotate 270°; row 2 (middle) h…

Only one thing changes from cell to cell — the fill alternates between solid and outline.

• **The rule: Size grows left to right; rotation alternates between rows.** - Row 1: F-shapes are small → medium → larg…

The colours repeat in a fixed order across all 9 cells in reading order.

The colours repeat in a fixed order across all 9 cells in reading order.

Two rules run at the same time: rotation and position.

row determines the reflection axis (no reflection in row 0, vertical in row 1, horizontal in row 2) while column determi…

Each row cycles through the same four L-shape rotations in order: 180° → 270° → 0° → 90° → 180°… • Row 1: 180°, 270°, 0…

Each shape and each color appears once per row and once per column.

row determines reflection axis (none in row 0, vertical in row 1, horizontal in row 2) while column determines scale (sm…

• In a Latin grid, each row and column must hold all different values.

Two rules run at the same time.

row parity controls reflection — even rows show the F-shape unreflected, the odd row applies a vertical reflection.

**Rule: Each row and column must contain every shape, color, and size exactly once.** - Row 3 has hexagon and square; n…

The four shapes repeat in order: circle → arrow → cross → f-shape → circle… • Read across all 9 cells in order and you…

The shapes repeat in a fixed cycle across all 9 cells in reading order.

**Rule: Each row and column must contain all three colors and all three sizes and all three rotations — no value repeats…

Each row shifts the F-shape by 90° clockwise each step.

Each row and column holds all three shapes (triangle, square, circle) and all three colors (orange, purple, magenta) exa…

Family: LATIN with row-shifted rotation cycle + row colour.

Correct answer: C • Look down each column — the third cell combines all dots from the first two cells.

Look for the pattern in each row separately.

• Each row holds the same three items: a red triangle, a blue circle and a green hexagon.

Two rules combine.

Each row and each column must contain all three shapes exactly once: t-shape, triangle, and l-shape.

Two rules combine.

**Rule: Each row and column must contain all three shapes, all three colors, and all three sizes exactly once.** - Row…

Two rules run at the same time: rotation and position.

Each third cell in a column = all dots from the first two cells combined (union).

Two rules run at the same time.
