A is to B as C is to…? Work out how one figure changes, then apply it. How these questions work →
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the direction changes from turned a quarter anticlockwise to turned a quarter clockwise and from left to right the colour changes from grey to white. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own shape and number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives four white triangles turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from right-angled triangles to triangles and from left to right the direction changes from turned a quarter clockwise to upright and from left to right the colour changes from white to grey. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three grey triangles.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from semicircles to arrows and from left to right the number of shapes changes from 4 shapes to 3 shapes and from left to right the colour changes from white to grey. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three grey arrows upside down.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the direction changes from upside down to turned a quarter clockwise. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes and shape and colour. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives two white arrows turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from semicircles to arrows and from left to right the number of shapes changes from 3 shapes to 1 shape. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own colour and direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives a black arrow turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from semicircles to triangles and from left to right the direction changes from upright to turned a quarter clockwise and from left to right the number of shapes changes from 1 shape to 2 shapes. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own colour. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives two black triangles turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the number of shapes changes from 1 shape to 3 shapes and from left to right the shape changes from L-shapes to right-angled triangles. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own colour and direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three white right-angled triangles.

In the top pair, from left to right the colour changes from grey to white and from left to right the direction changes from upside down to turned a quarter anticlockwise. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes and shape. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives a white arrow turned a quarter anticlockwise.
