Non-Verbal Reasoning Practice Questions

Figure Matrices Question

Choose the answer choice that follows the pattern and completes the matrix.

 

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is the 2nd from the left.

As we move from left to right across the top row:

The basic shape (rectangle) stays in the same location inside the box and remains similar in size; however, the shape at the edge turns upside down. The corners of the shape (triangle) are touching the basic shape (rectangle).

But – the white and black shading is reversed.

The answer must have the same relationship as the left box in the bottom row.

The answer choices 1, 3, and 4 are eliminated in the first place as they do not follow the above rules. The answer choice 5 follows the basic rule but the white and black shading is not reversed which is contrary to the above rule applied in Figure 1.

The only answer choice which follows these rules is the 2nd.

Figure Classification Question

Choose the answer that shares the same connection/characteristic as the three given images.

 

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is the 2nd from the left.

In this question, all three figures are triangles in various colors, each containing a yellow circle, a blue circle, and a red circle.

The only answer choice that is like this is the 2nd choice. The rest of the choices contain one circle that is the wrong color.

In the 1st choice, the yellow circle is replaced by a green circle. In the 3rd choice, the blue one is replaced by a purple one, the 4th choice has an orange circle instead of a red circle, and the 5th choice contains a maroon circle instead of the yellow one.

Therefore, the 2nd choice is the correct answer.

Verbal Reasoning Practice Questions

Verbal Analogy Question

The first pair of words go together in a certain way. Choose the word that goes together with the third word in the same way.

librarian → books : cartographer →
A. library
B. school
C. maps
D. travels
E. adventure

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is (C) – maps.  A librarian works with books.  A cartographer works with maps.  In this case, the first word (a person’s job) is paired with the item/object they work with (second word).

Verbal Classification Question

Choose the word that belongs in the same group as the first three words.

plant | fertilize | prune

A. bloom
B. flowers
C. garden
D. trim
E. gardener

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is (D) – trim. Planting, fertilizing, pruning, and trimming are all things someone might do to a plant to help it thrive. Blooming is something the flower does on its own. Flowers are an item that might be planted, fertilized, pruned, or trimmed. The goal is to pick out verbs showing how plants or flowers might be nurtured. A gardener is someone who might perform these tasks.

Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions

Number Analogy Question

Choose the number that completes the third pair so that it demonstrates the same relationship as the first two pairs.

[25 → 130] [40 → 205] [15 → ?]

A. 75
B. 300
C. 135
D. 80
E. 600

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is (D) – 80.

In the pattern, the number on the right side of the arrow is obtained by multiplying the number on the left side by 5 and then adding 5 to the answer.

25 x 5 = 125+5 = 130, 40 x 5 = 200+5 = 205, 15 x 5 =75+5 = 80

Number Series Question

What number comes next in the series?

6     7     8     11     14     15     16     19     22     ?

A. 23
B. 24
C. 25
D. 26
E. 27

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is (A) – 23.

In the series, the next number is obtained by adding 1 in the first two turns and then by adding 3 in the next two turns to the previous number.

The same sequence is repeated subsequently. The sequence is 6+1=7, 7+1 = 8, 8+3=11, 11+3=14, 14+1=15, 15+1=16, 16+3=19, 19+3=22 and 22+1=23.

Spatial Ability Practice Questions

Figure Analysis Question

Choose the answer choice that shows the final product of the unfolded punched-in paper.

 

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is the 3rd from the left.

A4 paper is folded from its right into half and is cut into a triangular form from its center, and a hole is punched by the top of the triangular cut. When it is unfolded, the paper will have a diamond-shaped cut at its center with two circular punches on both sides, as shown in option 3.

Figure Recognition Question

Choose the answer choice that contains the given shape. The shape must keep its size and orientation.

Correct Answer & Explanation:

The correct answer is the 3rd from the left.

The shape is visible in the middle of option 3.
