Test: Patterns - Class 2 MCQ

The first step in identifying a pattern in shapes is to closely observe the shapes and their sequence. This careful observation helps to recognize the repeating elements and their arrangement, which is essential for determining what comes next in the pattern.

The pattern is created by doubling the previous number (2 x 2 = 4, 4 x 2 = 8). Therefore, the next number would be 16, following the same rule.

The pattern skips one letter between each letter (A skips B to C, C skips D to E, etc.). Thus, the rule is to skip one letter, which continues the sequence.

The pattern decreases by 10 each time (100 - 10 = 90, 90 - 10 = 80, etc.). Therefore, the next number is 60.

The difference between each consecutive number in the sequence is 3 (6 - 3 = 3, 9 - 6 = 3, 12 - 9 = 3). This consistent difference allows for the continuation of the pattern.

The pattern skips one letter (M skips N to O, O skips P to Q). Therefore, after Q, the next letter in the sequence is R.

The pattern alternates between a pentagon and a hexagon. Since the last shape is a hexagon, the next shape to complete the sequence is a pentagon.

Each number in the pattern is obtained by adding 10 to the previous number (10 + 10 = 20, 20 + 10 = 30, etc.). This consistent addition allows the pattern to continue indefinitely.

The sequence wraps around the alphabet. After B, the next letter is C. This demonstrates how patterns can continue even when reaching the end of a sequence.

This sequence is known as triangular numbers, where each number is the sum of the integers up to that point (1, 1+2=3, 1+2+3=6, 1+2+3+4=10). The next number is 15 (1+2+3+4+5).

The pattern alternates between an oval and a square. Since the last shape was a square, the next in the sequence is an oval.

The sequence skips the letter D. The rule is to list the letters of the alphabet in order but omitting D. Hence, the next letter after C is D.

The pattern skips one letter between each (D skips E to F, F skips G to H, H skips I to J). Thus, the next letter is K.

The numbers in the sequence are squares of consecutive integers (1²=1, 2²=4, 3²=9, 4²=16). This pattern continues with 5²=25.

The pattern increases by 5 each time (10 - 5 = 5, 15 - 10 = 5). Therefore, the next number after 15 is 20, following the rule of adding 5.

The pattern alternates between a square and a triangle. Since the last shape in the sequence is a triangle, the next shape to continue the pattern is a square.

The pattern adds consecutive odd numbers (1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 3 = 7). The next number would be 7 + 4 = 11, following this rule.

The pattern skips one letter between each (C skips D to E, E skips F to G, G skips H to I). Hence, the next letter is K.

The pattern alternates between a triangle and a circle. Since the last shape in the sequence is a circle, the next shape to complete the pattern is a triangle.

The pattern skips one letter between each (F skips G to H, H skips I to J, J skips K to L). Therefore, the next letter in the sequence is M.
