Logical Reasoning Test Practice Course: Inductive patterns in words and tables

1. Pytanie 1 z 16

   A row of lights repeats the pattern red, blue, blue, green. What colour is the 37th light?

   • ARed
   • BGreen
   • CBlue
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: A. Red

   The pattern repeats every 4 lights. 37 ÷ 4 = 9 remainder 1, so the 37th light is the 1st colour in the pattern: red.

2. Pytanie 2 z 16

   A rule turns 2 into 7, 5 into 16, and 10 into 31. What does the same rule turn 7 into?

   • A21
   • B14
   • C25
   • D22
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: D. 22

   The rule is "multiply by 3, then add 1": 2 × 3 + 1 = 7, 5 × 3 + 1 = 16. So 7 × 3 + 1 = 22.

3. Pytanie 3 z 16

   In the table, each row follows the same rule. What number replaces the question mark?

   First	Second	Third
   4	6	10
   7	8	15
   9	5	?

   • A13
   • B4
   • C14
   • D45
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: C. 14

   In each row, the third number is the sum of the first two: 4 + 6 = 10, 7 + 8 = 15. So 9 + 5 = 14.

4. Pytanie 4 z 16

   In the table, column C is worked out from columns A and B in the same way in every row. What number replaces the question mark?

   A	B	C
   3	4	12
   5	6	30
   2	9	?

   • A7
   • B27
   • C18
   • D11
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: C. 18

   In each row, the third number is the first times the second: 3 × 4 = 12, 5 × 6 = 30. So 2 × 9 = 18.

5. Pytanie 5 z 16

   Each row of the table follows the same rule. What number replaces the question mark?

   Number	Next	Last
   2	4	8
   3	9	27
   5	?	125

   • A10
   • B15
   • C50
   • D25
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: D. 25

   Each row shows a number, its square and its cube: 2, 4, 8 and 3, 9, 27. For 5: 5 × 5 = 25 and 25 × 5 = 125.

6. Pytanie 6 z 16

   A 3 × 3 grid is described row by row. Row 1: 1 circle, 2 circles, 3 circles. Row 2: 2 squares, 3 squares, 4 squares. Row 3: 3 triangles, 4 triangles, ?. What belongs in the missing cell?

   • A6 triangles
   • B4 circles
   • C5 triangles
   • D5 squares
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: C. 5 triangles

   Each row keeps one shape and adds one more shape per cell. Each row also starts one higher than the row above. Row 3 runs 3, 4, 5 triangles.

7. Pytanie 7 z 16

   In this grid, each row and each column contains the letters A, B and C once. Which letter replaces the question mark?

   Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
   A	B	C
   C	A	B
   B	?	A

   • AC
   • BA
   • CB
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: A. C

   Row 3 already has B and A, so it needs C. The middle column (B, A, ?) also needs C.

8. Pytanie 8 z 16

   A system makes codes like this: CAT becomes CAT3, HOUSE becomes HOUSE5, and DOOR becomes DOOR4. What code does TABLE get?

   • A5TABLE
   • BTABLE5
   • CTABLE6
   • DTABLE4
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: B. TABLE5

   The number at the end is the number of letters in the word. TABLE has 5 letters, so TABLE5.

9. Pytanie 9 z 16

   Employee IDs follow a pattern. Lee Chan, hired in 2019 in department 4, has ID CH19-4. Ana Ruiz, hired in 2021 in department 2, has ID RU21-2. What is the ID for Omar Patel, hired in 2023 in department 7?

   • AOM23-7
   • BPA7-23
   • CPA23-7
   • DPA2023-7
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: C. PA23-7

   The ID is the first two letters of the last name, the last two digits of the hiring year, a dash, and the department number.

10. Pytanie 10 z 16

    Three of these letter groups follow the same rule. Which group does not?

    • AGIK
    • BACE
    • CLMN
    • DBDF
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. LMN

    In ACE, BDF and GIK, each letter skips one letter of the alphabet. LMN uses letters right next to each other.

11. Pytanie 11 z 16

    A machine is serviced every 5 days. The first service is on a Monday. On what day of the week is the 4th service?

    • AThursday
    • BFriday
    • CSunday
    • DTuesday
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: D. Tuesday

    The 4th service is 3 gaps after the first: 3 × 5 = 15 days. 15 days is 2 weeks and 1 day, so Monday + 1 day = Tuesday.

12. Pytanie 12 z 16

    In this grid, every row and every column adds up to the same total. What number replaces the question mark?

    Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
    8	1	6
    3	5	7
    4	9	?

    • A1
    • B6
    • C2
    • D3
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. 2

    Each full row adds to 15 (8 + 1 + 6). Row 3: 4 + 9 + ? = 15, so ? = 2. The last column checks: 6 + 7 + 2 = 15.

13. Pytanie 13 z 16

    A rule turns 3 into 10, 6 into 37, and 8 into 65. What does the same rule turn 5 into?

    • A26
    • B11
    • C16
    • D25
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: A. 26

    The rule is "square the number, then add 1": 3 × 3 + 1 = 10, 6 × 6 + 1 = 37. So 5 × 5 + 1 = 26.

14. Pytanie 14 z 16

    In the table, each result is worked out from the first two numbers with the same two steps. What number replaces the question mark?

    First	Second	Result
    9	4	10
    12	5	14
    15	8	?

    • A7
    • B23
    • C14
    • D46
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. 14

    Subtract the second number from the first, then double it: (9 − 4) × 2 = 10, (12 − 5) × 2 = 14. So (15 − 8) × 2 = 14.

15. Pytanie 15 z 16

    A rule changes STOP into POTS and LIVE into EVIL. What does the same rule change DRAW into?

    • ARAWD
    • BARDW
    • CWARD
    • DWRAD
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. WARD

    The rule writes each word backwards. DRAW backwards is WARD.

16. Pytanie 16 z 16

    The table shows boxes packed per day. Each worker's numbers follow their own pattern. How many boxes will Ann pack on Friday?

    Worker	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
    Ann	2	4	8	16	?
    Bo	5	9	13	17	21

    • A24
    • B18
    • C32
    • D20
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. 32

    Ann's numbers double each day: 2, 4, 8, 16, so Friday is 32. Bo's pattern (add 4) is a different rule and does not apply to Ann.
