What transformation is 'reflection' (mirror image) in visual reasoning?
Flipping a figure across an axis so left and right (or top and bottom) are reversed, like its appearance in a mirror.

In general aesthetic perception, what does 'proportion' refer to?
The harmonious relationship in size/scale between the parts of a design and the whole, contributing to visual balance and beauty.

What design principle is 'rhythm'?
The repetition or alternation of elements (lines, shapes, colours) to create a sense of organized movement and visual flow.
What is 'emphasis' (focal point) in a composition?
The design principle of making one element stand out as the center of interest, drawing the viewer's attention first.
A scale model is built at 1:50. If a wall is 6 m long in reality, how long is it on the model?
12 cm (6 m = 600 cm; 600 ÷ 50 = 12 cm).
What is the formula for the area of a triangle?
Area = ½ × base × height.
What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?
Volume = π × r² × h (radius squared times height times pi).
What is the formula for the area of a circle and its circumference?
Area = π r²; Circumference = 2 π r.
What is the volume of a cube with side length 'a'?
a³ (side cubed).
If 3 workers build a wall in 12 days, how long do 4 workers take (same rate)?
9 days (work = 3 × 12 = 36 worker-days; 36 ÷ 4 = 9 days).
In logical reasoning, what is a 'syllogism'?
A deductive argument with two premises and a conclusion; e.g., 'All A are B; all B are C; therefore all A are C.'

42 (differences increase by 2: +4, +6, +8, +10, +12; 30 + 12 = 42). Equivalently, terms are n(n+1).
What is a 'coding-decoding' problem in logical reasoning?
