Question 1

A clock shows 3:00. What time will it show in a mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the clock face is horizontally flipped. The position of numbers reverses around the vertical axis, making 3 o'clock appear as 9 o'clock.

Question 2

A standard die is placed on a table. The face showing 6 is on top, and the face showing 3 is facing you. Which face is on the bottom of the die?

Accepted Answer

On a standard die, opposite faces always sum to 7. If 6 is on top, then 1 must be on the bottom. This is a fundamental property of all standard dice used in competitive exams.

Question 3

A square paper has a small circle drawn in its center. The paper is folded once along a vertical line through the center. After unfolding, how many circles will be visible on the paper?

Accepted Answer

When you fold a square vertically through its center (where the circle is), the circle remains at the center point. Upon unfolding, there is still only 1 circle because it was never separated or duplicated by the fold.

Question 4

A square piece of paper is folded once along its diagonal. After unfolding, how many triangular regions are created by the fold line?

Accepted Answer

When a square is folded along its diagonal, the fold line divides the square into exactly 2 congruent right-angled triangles. Upon unfolding, the diagonal crease remains visible as a single straight line running from one corner to the opposite corner, creating 2 triangular regions.

Question 5

A standard cube has faces numbered 1 to 6. If face 1 is opposite to face 6, and face 2 is opposite to face 5, then which face is opposite to face 3?

Accepted Answer

This tests the fundamental property of a cube: opposite faces are fixed pairs. Given two pairs of opposite faces, the remaining pair can be deduced by elimination.

Question 6

In the following figure matrix, a pattern is followed in each row. Study the pattern and find the missing figure in place of the question mark (?)

Row 1: [Circle with 1 dot] [Circle with 2 dots] [Circle with 3 dots]
Row 2: [Square with 1 dot] [Square with 2 dots] [Square with 3 dots]
Row 3: [Triangle with 1 dot] [Triangle with 2 dots] [?]

What should replace the question mark?

Accepted Answer

The pattern shows that each row contains the same shape (Circle, Square, Triangle respectively), and within each row, the number of dots increases from 1 to 2 to 3. Therefore, Row 3 should have a Triangle with 3 dots.

Question 7

A shape with vertices at positions A (top-left), B (top-right), C (bottom-right), and D (bottom-left) is viewed in a mirror placed vertically on the right side. Which vertex will appear at the top-right position in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

When a mirror is placed vertically on the right side, it creates a horizontal flip. The left side becomes right and right becomes left. Top-left (A) becomes top-right in the mirror image.

Question 8

A square piece of paper is folded once along its diagonal. How many layers of paper will be visible if you look at the folded paper from above?

Accepted Answer

When a square is folded along its diagonal, one triangular half folds over the other, creating a double-layered triangle. From above, you see 2 layers of paper stacked together.

Question 9

A rectangular piece of paper is folded in half horizontally (top edge meets bottom edge). Then it is folded in half vertically (left edge meets right edge). Two small holes are punched through the folded paper. When the paper is completely unfolded, how many holes will be visible?

Accepted Answer

After two folds, the paper has 4 layers. Two holes punched through all 4 layers create 2 × 4 = 8 holes when unfolded.

Question 10

A cube is unfolded into a net. One face shows a star (★), and an adjacent face shows a circle (●). If the star face is opposite to a blank face, which of the following cannot be opposite to the circle?

Accepted Answer

This tests understanding of cube nets and which faces are adjacent versus opposite when a cube is folded.

Question 11

Study the 3×3 matrix where each cell contains a shape with internal lines. Identify the missing figure.

Row 1: Circle with 1 line, Circle with 2 lines, Circle with 3 lines
Row 2: Square with 1 line, Square with 2 lines, Square with 3 lines
Row 3: Triangle with 1 line, Triangle with 2 lines, ?

What should replace the ?

Accepted Answer

This question tests pattern recognition where both the outer shape and the number of internal lines follow systematic progressions.

Question 12

In the figure matrix below, a 3×3 grid contains 8 figures with one missing (marked as ?). Each row follows a pattern. Identify the missing figure.

Row 1: Circle, Square, Triangle
Row 2: Square, Triangle, Circle
Row 3: Triangle, Circle, ?

Which figure should replace the ?

Accepted Answer

This question tests pattern recognition in a 3×3 matrix where each row contains three different shapes in a rotating sequence.

Question 13

In the figure matrix below, each cell contains a shape. Identify the pattern and find the missing figure.

Row 1: Triangle pointing up, Square, Pentagon
Row 2: Square, Pentagon, Hexagon
Row 3: Pentagon, Hexagon, ?

What should replace the ?

Accepted Answer

This question tests pattern recognition where shapes progress by increasing the number of sides, and this progression shifts diagonally across the matrix.

Question 14

A word 'MIRROR' is written on a paper. When the paper is held in front of a mirror, how will the word appear in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the word is horizontally flipped (left-right reversal). Each letter is reversed individually, and the sequence of letters is also reversed from right to left.

Question 15

A cube has six faces. Three faces meeting at one corner are colored red, blue, and green respectively. How many faces are NOT colored?

Accepted Answer

This tests understanding of cube geometry: specifically, how many faces meet at a corner and the logical deduction of uncolored faces.

Question 16

A die shows faces with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 dots. When face 1 is on top and face 2 faces you, which face is on the bottom?

Accepted Answer

This tests spatial visualization of a cube in 3D space and the ability to determine opposite faces given two known face positions.

Question 17

A square piece of paper is folded along its diagonal, then the resulting triangle is folded in half along its height (from the right angle to the hypotenuse). After unfolding completely, how many distinct regions are created on the original square?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to mentally track fold lines and visualize the crease pattern after complete unfolding. Students must understand how each fold creates new creases and how these creases interact when the paper is fully opened.

Question 18

A word is written as 'REASONING'. When this word is viewed in a mirror placed vertically on the right side, how will it appear?

Accepted Answer

In a vertical mirror placed on the right side, the word is horizontally flipped. Each letter reverses its orientation and the sequence reverses from left to right.

Question 19

In the 3×3 figure matrix below, analyze the relationship between shapes and their internal elements. Find the missing figure.

What should replace the question mark?

Accepted Answer

This question tests dual-pattern recognition: shape consistency within rows and a multiplication rule for internal lines. Each row maintains its shape. The lines follow: Row 1 (×1), Row 2 (×2), Row 3 (×3). The third cell in Row 3 should be Hexagon containing 9 lines.

Question 20

Study the 3×3 matrix where each cell contains overlapping shapes. Identify the pattern and determine the missing figure.

What should replace the question mark?

Accepted Answer

This question tests two-dimensional pattern recognition where columns control the number of circles and rows control the number of squares. Column 3 should contain 3 circles, and Row 3 should contain 3 squares. The missing figure is 3 Circles overlapping 3 Squares.
