Detailed Explanations and Past Paper Solutions
Q1: Complete the figure sequence. The arrow in the diagram rotates 45 degrees clockwise in each successive step. Which figure replaces the question mark?
Correct Answer: (A) Arrow pointing at 180 degrees pointing left
The arrow sequence follows a clockwise rotation of 45 degrees at each step: 0 degrees (step 1), 45 degrees (step 2), 90 degrees (step 3), and 135 degrees (step 4). The next step is 135 + 45 = 180 degrees (pointing directly left).

Q2: In the 3x3 pattern matrix diagram, look at the progression across rows. Which figure must replace the question mark in the bottom-right cell?
Correct Answer: (A) 3 Triangles
Each row increases the count of shapes by one: Row 1 has 1, 2, 3 circles; Row 2 has 1, 2, 3 squares; Row 3 has 1, 2, therefore the missing 3rd box must contain 3 triangles.

Q3: Study the shape analogy diagram: Figure A is to Figure B as Figure C is to which figure?
Correct Answer: (A) Outer pentagon with inner triangle
In the analogy, the outer shape becomes the inner shape while the inner shape becomes the outer shape. In Figure C, triangle is outer and circle/polygon is inner, so in Figure D the polygon is outer and the triangle is inner.

Q4: Find the odd figure out among figures A, B, C, D, and E in the diagram.
Correct Answer: (D) Figure D
Figures A, B, C, and E are all divided symmetrically into 4 equal quarters. Figure D is divided into unequal parts, making it the odd figure out.

Q5: Observe the moving dot sequence along the corners of the square. Which position will the dot take in Step 5?
Correct Answer: (A) Top-left corner
The dot moves clockwise from corner to corner: Top-left (1), Top-right (2), Bottom-right (3), Bottom-left (4). In step 5, it completes the cycle and returns to the Top-left corner.
