Workforce Abstract Reasoning Past Questions and Answers


21)


The correct answer is E

First Rule: The cross-hatching alternates between being applied to the circle below the shaded one (wrapping round to the top when no circle is available below) and removed from the circle that has had the cross-hatching for two consecutive figures.

Second Rule: The middle circle alternates between being half-way between the other circles in size and being bigger than both of them.

Third Rule: The cross hatching slopes upwards for two figures then downwards for two figures. This sequence then repeats.

In each question below you will be presented with a logical sequence of five figures. You will need to determine which of the possible answers best matches the next figure in the sequence, or replaces the missing figure in the sequence


22)


The correct answer is A

First Rule: The triangle with a dot in one corner alternates between mirrored in a diagonal from the top left of the figure to the bottom right and mirrored in a diagonal from the top right of the figure to the bottom left.

Second Rule: The rectangle alternates between being mirrored vertically and mirrored horizontally.

Third Rule: The rectangle also increases in width by a uniform amount every time, in a direction that is away from the closest edge of the figure.

23)


The correct answer is D

First Rule: Every time, the small triangle nearest the bottom right corner is split into two equal triangles of the same proportions.

Second Rule: The two, newly created, smallest triangles are always unshaded. The rest alternate between being shaded and unshaded in each image.

Third Rule: The stick figure moves up the hypotenuse of the largest triangle by an equal amount every time.

24)


The correct answer is E

First Rule: The shading of the small triangles moves 3 triangles anti-clockwise each time.

Second Rule: The cross-hatching on the kite shapes near the corners of the figure, which is always in the direction of the nearest corner, moves clockwise, alternating between moving one shape and moving two.

Third Rule: The centre shapes alternates between having downward sloping cross-hatching and having upward sloping cross-hatching.

25)


The correct answer is D

First Rule: Two bricks are added each time, starting from the centre and working outwards. Each row is completed before the next is started, and addition of two half bricks counts as adding one whole brick.

Second Rule: Bricks on the bottom left to top right diagonal have upward sloping cross-hatching.

Third Rule: The circle alternates between being on whole bricks that are central, and whole bricks that are on the far right.

Fourth Rule: Reading left to right, downward sloping cross-hatching is applied to the first, then second, then third full brick on every row, with incomplete rows being treated as though they were complete when determining this pattern. This sequence then repeats.
