Non-Verbal Reasoning - MCQ Practice Questions

A pattern shows: Red-2, Blue-4, Green-6, Yellow-?. What number replaces the question mark?

In the pattern shown with increasing complexity: (1 shape), (3 shapes), (6 shapes), (10 shapes), how many shapes should appear next?

A sequence of figures shows rotation: First figure rotated 45°, then 90°, then 135°. What is the next rotation?

In a 2×3 grid with alternating shaded and unshaded squares, if positions (1,1), (1,3), (2,2) are shaded, which position should be shaded next following the checkerboard variant pattern?

A pattern displays: Small circle inside large square, medium circle inside large triangle, small square inside medium circle. What logical principle is being applied?

In a branching pattern tree: Level 1 has 1 node, Level 2 has 2 nodes, Level 3 has 4 nodes, Level 4 has 8 nodes. How many nodes in Level 6?

A sequence shows figure rotations with increasing angles: 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, ?. After the fifth rotation, what additional degree should the sixth figure be rotated?

A figure shows nested shapes: Outermost hexagon contains pentagon, which contains square, which contains triangle. Following this pattern, what comes next inside the triangle?

In a pattern sequence: (1,1,1), (2,2,4), (3,3,9), (4,4,16), (5,5,?). What is the missing number?

A complex figure shows: Primary color (Red) at position A, Secondary color (Orange) at position B, Tertiary color (Green) at position C. Following color theory hierarchy, what should appear at position D?

In a growth pattern: Square with 4 elements, Pentagon with 5 elements, Hexagon with 6 elements. Following polygonal progression, the next shape should have how many elements?

A pattern shows reflection symmetry: Left half contains pattern X, right half should contain its mirror image. If left half shows a spiral turning clockwise, right half should show?

In an overlapping shape pattern: Circle overlaps Square (creates intersection area), Square overlaps Triangle (creates intersection area). What principle determines the intersection area?

A sequence uses conditional logic: If figure has odd sides, shade it. If figure has even sides, leave it unshaded. In sequence: Triangle (shaded), Square (unshaded), Pentagon (?), Hexagon (?). What should be the shading pattern?

In a progressive complexity pattern: 1 object, then 2 different objects, then 3 different objects, then 2 objects again. What describes this pattern's nature?

A geometric pattern shows: First square divided into 4 parts, Second square divided into 9 parts, Third square divided into 16 parts. Fourth square should be divided into how many parts?

In a transformation sequence: Solid shape→Outline shape→Dotted shape→?. What should logically appear next in this transformation cycle?

A series of figures shows: Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, ?. What comes next?

In a rotational pattern: Figure rotates 45° clockwise each step. If the initial figure faces North, which direction after 4 rotations?
