Once you have identified these aspects of the images, you can start to isolate the elements to ascertain whether each follows a particular rule or pattern. 


You could start by isolating the plus sign at the top of image 1 and tracking its movements/evolution along the top row:


Next, you could move to the second row, first tracking the plus sign, then the minus sign.

With a matrix, you should start by trying to identify whether the patterns run from left to right or from up to down. With this matrix, it’s fairly clear that the pattern runs from left to right, as the shapes in each row tend to correlate to some extent. You should then start to test that hypothesis, looking for any initial patterns.

Which image completes the below matrix?

\n


\n

\n
", "text_explanation": "

With these types of questions, start by ascertaining whether one or more of the shapes in one image reappear in the next image. If they do, try to identify whether there is some kind of rule or pattern that dictates the position of each shape as the sequence evolves. 


In image 1 of row 1, there are three distinct shapes stacked in a column: a square at the top; an arrow in the middle; and an L shape at the bottom. In image 2, these three shapes are then overlaid. The top shape from image 1 (the square) appears as the outermost shape; the middle shape from image 1 (the arrow) appears as the middle shape, inside the square; and the bottom shape from image 1 appears as the innermost shape, inside the arrow. In image 3 of row one, the outer and innermost shapes (i.e. the square and the L shape) remain in place, but the middle shape (the arrow) is replaced by a triangle. At this stage, it’s not particularly clear why a triangle appears. You could potentially hypothesise that the triangle appearing might have something to do with the triangle in row 3, but this is something you will need to confirm later on.


Next, you should check whether the sequence in row 2 follows the rules that you identified in row 1. The top, middle and bottom shapes in image 1 of row 2 subsequently appear as the outermost, middle and innermost shapes in image 2. In addition, in image 3, the outermost and innermost shapes once again remain in place, with the middle shape being replaced – this time by an arrow. This seems consistent with the pattern in row one. If we look around the whole matrix to try to ascertain why an arrow in particular appears, we could hypothesise that the appearance of the arrow is linked to the arrow that appears in the middle image of the row above.


On this basis, in image 3 of row 3, we would expect the outermost and innermost shapes from image 2 of row 3 to remain in place, but the middle shape (i.e. the triangle) to be replaced. As the middle shape in image 3 of row 2 correlates with the middle shape from row 1, we would expect image 3 of row 3 to also adopt the middle shape from the row above (i.e. the cross from row 2). You might also have noticed at this stage that the triangle that appears in image 2 of row 3 likely accounts for why the triangle appears in image 3 of row 1.

The following image belongs to either Set A or Set B (below). Which is the correct answer?

You should start by trying to identify any patterns that exist within each of the two sets. Once you have identified these patterns, you can then check which of these patterns the primary image follows.


Finally, we should look back at the primary image to see which of the identified patterns it follows. In the primary image, there is an even number of striped cylinders, which suggests this image belongs to Set A. Although there is an odd number of stars in the primary image, no star appears inside any of the white shapes, which helps to confirm that this image doesn’t belong to Set B.

Which of the below images is the odd one out?

\n


\n


\n
", "text_explanation": "

For this question, you need to find a pattern that applies to four of the five images. You should start by isolating the shapes within each image to see whether doing so helps you to identify one or more patterns. If we take this approach:


As every box contains one large shape, we can deduce that this element won’t help us to identify which image is the odd one out. We should therefore look to see whether the number of shapes, or the number of sides that each shape has, follows a pattern in all but one of the images.


Based on our analysis, it seems that in four of the images, the total number of shapes inside the box correlates with the number of sides that each of those shapes has (e.g. in box one, each pentagon has five sides, so there are five shapes included within that box). On this basis, image 5 is the odd one out, as each star has ten sides, but there are only five stars included in the box.

Which option has the same relationship with Z as X has to Y?

\n


\n


\n
", "text_explanation": "

You should start by trying to understand the relationship between the two X images and image Y. We can clearly see that the triangle in the corner changes from black to white. We can also see that both the triangle and the central line change positions, and these changes correspond with image X rotating 90 degrees clockwise.


Next, you should apply these rules to image Z. Applying the first rule: we would expect the black triangle in image Z to change to white. However, this doesn’t help much because all of the answer options contain white triangles. Applying the second rule: if image Z rotated 90 degrees clockwise, we would expect to see the triangle in the bottom right corner, and the square in the bottom left corner.


Option A is therefore correct, as it aligns with both rules.

", "text_explanation": "

You should start by trying to understand the relationship between the two X images and image Y. This example is quite tricky, and would likely involve some level of trial and error before you can identify the correct rule. To break down the process of identifying this rule:


Next, you should apply this rule to the images in Z. The horizontal and vertical lines appear in both Z images, suggesting that neither of these lines will appear in the final image. As the diagonal lines appear in different sections of the two Z images (i.e. they would not overlap if the two Z images were overlaid), we would expect both to appear in the final image.


On this basis, the correct answer is Option D.
