Figure Matrix Reasoning Rules

Learn core concepts, essential formulas, and attempt practice questions designed on the latest TCS NQT testing patterns.

Key Concepts & Formulas

  • 1Check horizontal row patterns first, then check vertical column rules.
  • 2Check additions/deletions of segments across cells.

TCS NQT Style Practice Questions

Practice Question 1

Row 1: Line, Cross, Grid. Row 2: Square, Circle, ?. What is the third item if shapes are filled?

A) Filled shape
B) Line
C) Blank space
D) Triangle

Correct Answer: A) Filled shape

Step-by-step Solution: The logic indicates progressive detail additions. The third column contains the filled/completed shape.

Practice Question 2

If cell 1 + cell 2 = cell 3 (overlapping lines merge), what happens when lines intersect?

A) They add up
B) They subtract
C) They disappear
D) They double

Correct Answer: A) They add up

Step-by-step Solution: In standard additive matrices, lines in first two cells are combined to form the third.

Study Pro-Tip

Look for combinations (AND, OR, XOR) operations applied to visual lines.
