CSEET Logical Reasoning – Figure Matrix MCQs with Answers and Explanations

1.In each row of the matrix, the second figure is obtained by adding one more side to the first.

Row 2: Square shaded half right → Square shaded full → ?

A) Triangle shaded half right

B) Triangle shaded full

C) Circle shaded left half

D) Square unshaded

Answer: B) Triangle shaded full

Explanation: Each row continues with the next shape in the same shading pattern (half → full).

5.Each figure in the matrix rotates 90° clockwise from left to right.

If first figure is ▲, second is ►, third should be:

A) ▼

B) ◄

C) ▲
