Answers:
1) This is a serial matrix reasoning question. The correct answer is 1. Each set of squares is rotated counterclockwise.
2) This is a "visual puzzle." The correct answer is 2, 4, 6.
3) This type of question is called "figure weights." On the left side of first scale we see 2 orange rectangles + 2 yellow circles + 1 blue triangle are equal in weight to 1 orange rectangle + 1 yellow circle + 1 blue square. When we use the process of cancellation to "cancel out" identical shapes on the left and right sides of the first scale, we can deduce that 1 blue square = 1 blue triangle + 1 orange rectangle + 1 yellow circle. Therefore looking at the second scale we can deduce that 1 orange rectangle + 1 blue square = 1 orange rectangle + 1 blue triangle + 1 orange rectangle + 1 yellow circle. So the answer is #4.
