Abstract Reasoning
1. Which figure completes the grid?

D Each row and each column have one line of each type.

2. Which figure is the odd one out?

D. The other figures all contain five rotations of the same shape.

3. Which figure is the odd one out?

D The other figures contain three repetitions of the group plus one reflection. Figure D contains two repetitions plus two
reflections.
 4. Which figure belongs in neither group?

B- The figures in Group1 contain two shapes. The figures in Group 2 contain three shapes. Option B belongs in neither
group.

5. Which figure is next in the series?

C The top halves of the dominoes repeat the sequence 5, 3, 1. The bottom halves repeat the sequence 2, 4, 6.
Alternate dominoes are then inverted. Option C completes this sequence.

6. Which figure belongs in neither group?

D The figures in Group1 contain a black diamond plus a black curved shape.
The figures in Group 2 contain a black square plus two other white shapes. Option D belongs in neither group.
 7. Which figure completes the series?

D Option D completes the series. If a square is black in both row one and in row two then a black square appears in
row three.

8. Which figure completes the grid?

A The four squares which make up each corner block all rotations. Option A completes the grid.

9. Which figure completes the series?

C Option C completes the series. The black squares in columns one and two are combined in column
three.

10. Which figure is next in the series?

B The top halves of the dominoes repeat the sequence 4, 2, etc. The
bottom halves repeat the sequence 5, 5, 4, 5, 3, 5, etc. Alternate pairs of
dominoes are then inverted. Option B completes this sequence.
 11. Which of the boxes comes next in the sequence?

C Doughnut shape appears on every alternate turn, in the same position (bottom right circle quadrant). Diagonal line
appears on every alternate turn, in the same position (bottom left circle quadrant). Square moves in a clockwise
direction around circle quadrants with each turn.

12. Which figure completes the statement?

C There are three shapes in the figure. The two outer shapes are moved into the center to cover the shape already
there. Option C is correct.

13. Which figure completes the series?

C The short line moves 45% clockwise with each iteration. The shape which appears in the top left moves to the
bottom right, replacing any shape which already there. Another shape may (or may not) appear in the top left. Option
C is correct.

14. Which figure completes the statement?

D The black squares move one place anticlockwise. Option D is correct.

 15. Which figure is the odd one out?

D Option D is the odd one out. In the other figures, the black and white boxes are always opposite each other.

16. Which figure is the odd one out?

C Option C is the only figure in which opposite collared squares are on opposite sides of the line.

17. Which figure completes the series?

A The black rectangle alternates between the top and bottom position and a white square is added with each
iteration. Option A is the next figure in the series.

18. Which of the boxes comes next in the sequence?

19. Which figure completes the series?

D Option D completes the series.

An extra white square is added for
each column and an extra black
square is added for each row.
 20. Which figure completes the statement?

D The compound shape at the top rotates through 90 degrees. The large shape at the bottom moves to the top. The
color of the small shape at the bottom is inverted. Option D is correct.

21. Which figure is the odd one out?

A Option A is the odd one out. The others are all either reflections or rotations of the same figure.

22. Which of the boxes comes next in the sequence?

A Please note: circles are in no particular pattern within the lower segment. It is merely the number of circles that are
important for this sequence. Arrow changes direction from pointing up, to down, to right, then to left with each turn.
Circles increase by one with each turn.

23. Which figure completes the statement?

C The square in the top left corner moves to the center. Any horizontal lines are duplicated and rotated through 90
degrees. Option C is correct.
 24. Which figure is the odd one out?

E Option E is the odd shape out as it is a reflection, not a rotation, of the others.

25. Which figure is the odd one out?

D Option D is the odd shape out as it is not a rotation, of the others.

26. Which figure is the odd one out?

D Option D is the odd one out. In the other figures there is one more black square than there are white squares.

27. Which figure completes the statement?

The operation involves a reflection in the vertical plane through the center of the figure. Option B is correct.

28. Which figure is the odd one out?

D Adding the number of sides of the shapes in each figure gives eight, except for option D where it adds up to 5.
 29. Which figure completes the series?

B The same eight elements are arranged randomly in each figure. Option B is the only option which has these same
eight elements.

30. Which of the boxes comes next in the sequence?

B Diagonal line changes direction from top right corner to bottom left corner, then from top left corner to bottom right
corner with each turn. Square moves around corner of the frame in a clockwise direction with each turn. Circle
appears on diagonal line on every second turn.

 IDENTIFYING ASSUMPTIONS & CONCLUSIONS

10. Either God exists or God does not exist. If God exists, I have everything to gain by believing in Him. And if God
does not exist, I have nothing to lose by believing in Him. What can be concluded?
A. I have everything to gain or nothing to lose by believing in Him.
B. God does not exist and people who believe in Him are lost.
C. God exists and I believe in Him.
D. God exists and I have nothing to lose in believing that God does not exist.
The statement says that either God exists or God does not exist. If God exists, then believing in Him would be beneficial, and if God
does not exist, then believing in Him would not be harmful. This means that there is no downside to believing in God, regardless of
whether or not He actually exists.

Therefore, the only option that can be concluded from the statement is that I have everything to gain or nothing to lose by believing in
Him.

11. All dogs are mammals. Some dogs are black. Therefore, some mammals are black. Which of the following is an
assumption on which the argument depends?
A. All black things are dogs.
B. No mammals are non-black.
C. No dogs are non-mammals.
D. Some black things are mammals.
E. All mammals are dogs.

This is the assumption that supports the argument, because it is necessary for the argument to be valid. If this assumption is false, then the argument is
invalid, because there could be some dogs that are not mammals, and thus not black. The other options are either irrelevant or contradictory to the
argument.

LOGIC

12. A fruit basket contains more apples than lemons.

Mel is diligent.
