Introduction
Pattern Recognition questions test your ability to identify relationships, sequences, and repeating structures. These questions help improve observation skills, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
Question 1
Find the next figure in the pattern:
▲ ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲ ?
A) ▲
B) ▼
C) ■
D) ●
Answer
B) ▼
Explanation
The pattern alternates between ▲ and ▼.
▲ ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲ ▼
Therefore, the next figure is ▼.
Question 2
Find the next number in the pattern:
2, 6, 18, 54, ?
A) 108
B) 162
C) 216
D) 324
Answer
B) 162
Explanation
Each number is multiplied by 3.
2 × 3 = 6
6 × 3 = 18
18 × 3 = 54
54 × 3 = 162
Question 3
Find the next letter in the pattern:
A, C, E, G, ?
A) H
B) I
C) J
D) K
Answer
B) I
Explanation
The pattern skips one letter each time:
A, C, E, G, I
Therefore, the next letter is I.
Question 4
Find the next number in the pattern:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ?
A) 18
B) 20
C) 21
D) 25
Answer
C) 21
Explanation
The differences increase by 1:
1 + 2 = 3
3 + 3 = 6
6 + 4 = 10
10 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 = 21
Question 5
Find the next shape in the pattern:
● ■ ● ■ ● ?
A) ▲
B) ●
C) ■
D) ★
Answer
C) ■
Explanation
The pattern alternates between:
● ■ ● ■ ● ■
Therefore, the next shape is ■.
