Multi-Rule Pattern — Hard Matrix Reasoning Question

What to learn from this pattern

Each shape, color, and rotation appears exactly once in every row and every column.

Explanation

Each shape, color, and rotation appears exactly once in every row and every column. • Shapes: row 3 has f-shape (col 1) and l-shape (col 2), so col 3 needs a triangle. • Colors: row 3 has purple (col 1) and magenta (col 2), so col 3 needs orange. • Rotations: row 3 has 180° (col 1) and 90° (col 2), so col 3 needs 270°. • Only option D gives a triangle, orange, rotated 270° — completing every set. • A/C: wrong fill. B: wrong on every attribute. E/F: wrong color. G/H: wrong rotation.

Why the other options are wrong

• Avalue-already-in-line-fill — Completed the other attributes, but picked a fill 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 (fill, color, shape, rotation) — none of them completes its set.
• Cvalue-already-in-line-fill — Completed the other attributes, but picked a fill value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Evalue-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.
• Fvalue-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.
• Gvalue-already-in-line-rotation — Completed the other attributes, but picked a rotation value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
• Hvalue-already-in-line-rotation — Completed the other attributes, but picked a rotation value that already appears in the missing cell's row and column — it can't complete that set.
