Abstract Reasoning Questions for CAT with Answers PDF

The patterns given below are followed alternately:

The element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element.
Hence, (4) is the correct answer.

The element is moving one space clockwise and the box as a whole is flipped vertically; and in next step, the element is moved two spaces anticlockwise and the box as a whole is flipped horizontally. These two steps are being followed alternately.
Hence, figure (C) is the correct answer.

The star element is moving 3 spaces clockwise, whereas the flower element is moving 2 spaces clockwise, and when both the elements reach the same position, the star element is replaced by a new element in the following step, and the same pattern continues.
Hence, (A) is the correct answer.

The patterns given below are followed alternately:

The element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element.
Hence, (2) is the correct answer.

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

Elements that reach the encircled positions are replaced by a new element.
Hence, (4) is the correct answer.

One and two similar elements appear at empty spaces, alternately, in a fixed pattern.
Hence, (1) is the correct answer.

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

Hence, (2) is the answer.

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

The element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element in respective steps.
Hence, (3) is the answer.

The shaded box moves one block ahead from left to right in the same row, column-wise, from box 1 to box 2, then two blocks ahead from box 2 to box 3, and then three blocks ahead, and so on.
Once the shaded block reaches the end of its row, it shifts to the leftmost block of the neighbouring row beneath.
Once the shaded block reaches the rightmost block of the last row, it shifts to the leftmost block of the topmost row to resume the cycle of shifting as described.
Hence, figure D is the correct answer.

The elements are moving in following two patterns alternately:

Element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element in each step.
Hence, figure B is correct.

Box as a whole is flipped horizontally and vertically alternately.
Hence, figure D is correct.

The top two elements rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise and the bottom two elements rotate 90 degrees clockwise.

The top two elements interchange positions with each other and rotate 90 degrees clockwise. The bottom two elements interchange positions and rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise. Further, the box as a whole is flipped vertically.
Hence, figure A is the correct option.

Letters move in clockwise direction one space ahead and after that they are replaced by the next letter in alphabetical order.
Hence, figure D is the correct option.

The pattern followed is:

Element that reaches the encircled position is replaced by a new element.
Hence, figure B is the correct option.

The lower element moves upward, gets enlarged and rotates vertically with circle part getting shaded; and the upper element disappears and a new element appears at the lower part of the box. Hence, figure D is the correct option.

Elements of second and fourth columns are flipped horizontally.
Hence, figure C is the correct option.

The shape rotates 90° anticlockwise, and the lines intersecting the diagonal change to the lines parallel to diagonal and vice versa.

The inner shape expands, the line segment rotates 90 degrees, and the outer shape shrinks to join at the end of the line segment and gets shaded.
Hence, figure (C) is the correct option.

The element along the side of the box moves one side anticlockwise while the element at the centre remains at the centre. Further, the elements interchange positions with each other consequently in each step. This pattern is observed in the first pair of boxes and confirmed by the second pair of boxes. Hence, same must be followed in the third pair of boxes.
Hence, figure (B) is correct.
