Frequency Count Pattern — Medium Matrix Reasoning Question

What to learn from this pattern

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

Explanation

**Rule: Each row and column must contain every shape, color, and size exactly once.** - Row 3 has hexagon and square; needs diamond. - Column 3 has square and hexagon; needs diamond. - Row 3 has green and orange; needs purple. - Column 3 has green and orange; needs purple. - Row 3 has medium and small; needs large. - Column 3 has medium and small; needs large. - Answer: diamond, purple, large — that's option C.

Why the other options are wrong

• Avalue-already-in-line-color — Completed the other attributes, but picked a color value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Bwrong-on-all-attributes — Wrong on every distributed attribute (color, size, shape) — none of them completes its set.
• Dvalue-already-in-line-color — Completed the other attributes, but picked a color value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Evalue-already-in-line-scale — Completed the other attributes, but picked a size value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Fvalue-already-in-line-scale — Completed the other attributes, but picked a size value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Gvalue-already-in-line-shape — Completed the other attributes, but picked a shape value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Hvalue-already-in-line-shape — Completed the other attributes, but picked a shape value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
