Q.12 Medium Pattern Completion
Figures show nested rectangles: 1 rectangle, 3 rectangles, 5 rectangles, 7 rectangles. This follows which pattern?
A Odd numbers (2n-1)
B Even numbers
C Prime numbers
D Fibonacci sequence
Correct Answer:  A. Odd numbers (2n-1)
EXPLANATION

The sequence 1, 3, 5, 7 follows the odd number pattern 2n-1 where n=1,2,3,4...

Q.13 Medium Pattern Completion
A grid pattern shows shapes moving in an L-shape: Start position, Right 1 cell, Down 1 cell, Left 1 cell, Down 1 cell. Where is it after these 4 moves?
A Same column, 2 rows down
B 2 columns right, 2 rows down
C 1 column right, 2 rows down
D Left 1 column, 1 row down
Correct Answer:  A. Same column, 2 rows down
EXPLANATION

Right 1 (+1 col), Down 1 (+1 row), Left 1 (-1 col), Down 1 (+1 row) = 0 columns net, +2 rows net.

Q.14 Medium Pattern Completion
In a fractal-like pattern: Stage 1 has 1 triangle, Stage 2 has 3 triangles, Stage 3 has 9 triangles. How many triangles in Stage 4?
A 27 triangles
B 15 triangles
C 21 triangles
D 18 triangles
Correct Answer:  A. 27 triangles
EXPLANATION

Each stage triples: 1×3=3, 3×3=9, 9×3=27.

Test
Q.15 Medium Pattern Completion
A pattern alternates between two shapes with increasing complexity: Simple star (5 points), Complex star (10 points), Simple star (5 points), Complex star (10 points). What is the 9th figure?
A Simple star (5 points)
B Complex star (10 points)
C Star with 15 points
D Double star
Correct Answer:  A. Simple star (5 points)
EXPLANATION

Odd positions (1,3,5,7,9) have simple stars; even positions have complex stars.

Test
Q.16 Medium Pattern Completion
Figures show: 1 corner shaded, 2 corners shaded, 3 corners shaded, 4 corners shaded. In a pentagon (5 corners), following the pattern, how many corners would be shaded?
A 5 corners
B 4 corners
C 3 corners
D All corners plus center
Correct Answer:  A. 5 corners
EXPLANATION

The pattern increases by 1 shaded corner each figure, so in a pentagon all 5 corners follow this logic.

Test
Q.17 Medium Pattern Completion
A diagonal line in a 4×4 grid moves from top-left to bottom-right position, shifting one cell diagonally each step. After 3 complete cycles, where is the line?
A Top-left again
B Center
C Bottom-right
D Top-right
Correct Answer:  A. Top-left again
EXPLANATION

A diagonal pattern that cycles returns to its starting position after completing the cycle.

Test
Q.18 Medium Pattern Completion
A color cycling pattern: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue... At position 13, which color appears?
A Yellow
B Green
C Red
D Blue
Correct Answer:  D. Blue
EXPLANATION

Pattern repeats every 4 positions. 13÷4 = 3 remainder 1, but counting: position 13 = Blue.

Test
Q.19 Medium Pattern Completion
In a layering pattern: Figure 1 has 1 layer, Figure 2 has 3 layers, Figure 3 has 6 layers. How many layers in Figure 4?
A 10 layers
B 9 layers
C 12 layers
D 8 layers
Correct Answer:  A. 10 layers
EXPLANATION

The differences increase: 1→3 (+2), 3→6 (+3), 6→10 (+4). This is triangular number pattern.

Test
Q.20 Medium Pattern Completion
A number pattern in figures: 2, 4, 8, 16. The pattern then changes to show shapes. If each shape represents its corresponding number, how many shapes should the 5th figure contain?
A 32 shapes
B 24 shapes
C 40 shapes
D 64 shapes
Correct Answer:  A. 32 shapes
EXPLANATION

Each number doubles: 2×2=4, 4×2=8, 8×2=16, 16×2=32.
