    John has to carry 17 heavy bags and can carry only 2 bags on each trip to the car. What is the least number of trips John will make to his car to get all of the bags in his car?

    • 17 trips

    • 10 trips

    • 9 trips

    • 6 trips

    Correct Answer
    A. 9 trips
    Explanation
    John can carry 2 bags on each trip to the car. Therefore, he will need to make 17/2 = 8.5 trips to carry all the bags. Since he cannot make half a trip, he will need to make 9 trips to get all the bags in his car.

    4 cats, 6 people, and 3 dogs have how many legs?

    • 36

    • 40

    • 42

    • 46

    Correct Answer
    A. 40
    Explanation
    To find the total number of legs, we need to consider each animal and the number of people:
    Cats: 4 cats with 4 legs each have 16 legs total.
    People: 6 people with 2 legs each have 12 legs total.
    Dogs: 3 dogs with 4 legs each have 12 legs total.
    Adding all these together, we get 16 + 12 + 12 = 40 legs.

    One of the following proverbs is closest in meaning to the saying, "Birds of a feather, flock together." Choose one:

    • "One swallow doesn't make a summer."

    • "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

    • "A man is known by the company he keeps."

    • "Don't judge a book by its cover."

    Correct Answer
    A. "A man is known by the company he keeps."
    Explanation
    The proverb "Birds of a feather, flock together" means that people with similar interests or characteristics tend to associate with each other. Similarly, the proverb "A man is known by the company he keeps" suggests that a person's character can be judged by the type of people they choose to spend time with. Both proverbs convey the idea that individuals are often influenced by the company they keep and tend to associate with those who are similar to them.

    What is the missing number: 45/9 = 12-?

    • 5

    • 6

    • 7

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 7
    Explanation
    The missing number can be found by solving the equation 45/9 = 12 - x. By simplifying the left side of the equation, we get 5 = 12 - x. To isolate x, we subtract 12 from both sides of the equation, resulting in -7 = -x. Therefore, the missing number is 7.

    It takes a car 1/4 a second to travel 30 meters. How far can he travel in 2 seconds?

    • 30 meters

    • 60 meters

    • 120 meters

    • 240 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 240 meters
    Explanation
    The car takes 1/4 a second to travel 30 meters, which means it travels at a rate of 120 meters per second. Therefore, in 2 seconds, the car can travel a total distance of 240 meters.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    A school is going to give a timed test to students with 15 minutes to complete 9 items. If the school wants to make the test 12 items instead, how much time should be given to keep the same proportion of minutes to items?  

    • 15 minutes

    • 20 minutes

    • 22 minutes

    • 25 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 minutes
    Explanation
    If the school wants to make the test 12 items instead of 9, and they want to keep the same proportion of minutes to items, then they should increase the time given accordingly. Since the original test had 15 minutes for 9 items, the proportion is 15/9 minutes per item. To find out how much time should be given for 12 items, we can set up a proportion: 15/9 = x/12. Cross-multiplying, we get 9x = 180. Dividing both sides by 9, we find that x = 20. Therefore, the test should be given 20 minutes to keep the same proportion of minutes to items.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of the following tasks is most likely to measure fluid intelligence?

    • Recalling the capitals of all countries. 

    • Solving novel logic puzzles under time constraints. 

    • Remembering a list of words presented earlier in a test. 

    • Describing the plot of a well-known novel in detail.

    Correct Answer
    A. Solving novel logic puzzles under time constraints. 
    Explanation
    Fluid intelligence refers to the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. It involves reasoning, pattern recognition, and abstract thinking abilities. Solving novel logic puzzles under time constraints is a good measure of fluid intelligence because it requires the test-taker to apply logical thinking and problem-solving skills to unfamiliar challenges, without relying on previously learned information or experiences.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    In a fluid intelligence test, you are presented with the following sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30. What is the next number in the sequence?

    • 40

    • 42

    • 44

    • 46

    Correct Answer
    A. 42
    Explanation
    The pattern in the sequence involves adding consecutive even numbers starting from 4. The differences between the numbers are: 4 (6-2), 6 (12-6), 8 (20-12), 10 (30-20). The next difference should be 12, so 30 + 12 = 42. Fluid intelligence tests often involve recognizing patterns, logical problem-solving, and reasoning skills, which are essential in this type of sequence recognition problem.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    All the trees in the park are flowering trees. Some of the trees in the park are dogwoods. All dogwoods in the park are flowering trees. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is

    • True

    • False

    • Uncertain

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The first statement states that all the trees in the park are flowering trees. The second statement says that some of the trees in the park are dogwoods. Since all dogwoods are flowering trees, it can be concluded that all the dogwoods in the park are also flowering trees. Therefore, the third statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    John is 18 today and his dad is twice his age. When John is 27, how old will his dad be then?

    • 33 years old

    • 36 years old

    • 45 years old

    • 54 years old

    Correct Answer
    A. 45 years old
    Explanation
    John is 18 years old today, and his dad is twice his age. Therefore, his dad's current age is:
    18×2 = 36 years old
    In 9 years, John will be 27 years old (since 27 - 18 = 9). Since the same amount of time will have passed for his dad, we need to add 9 years to his dad's current age:
    36+9= 45 years old

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Which is next in the series: 72,     87,    83,     99,    94,  ___?

    • 90

    • 101

    • 111

    • 117

    Correct Answer
    A. 111
    Explanation
    The given series alternates between adding and subtracting numbers. Starting with 72, 15 is added to get 87. Then, 4 is subtracted to get 83. Next, 16 is added to get 99. Finally, 5 is subtracted to get 94. Following this pattern, the next number should be obtained by adding 16 to 94, resulting in 110. However, none of the given answer choices match 110. Therefore, the correct answer is 111, which is the closest option to 110.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    There are triple the apples as oranges in a basket. Also in the basket are 1/2 as many lemons than oranges. There are 45 pieces of fruit. How many oranges are there?

    • 10 oranges

    • 9 oranges

    • 8 oranges

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 oranges
    Explanation
    Let's assume the number of oranges in the basket is x. According to the given information, there are triple the number of apples as oranges, so the number of apples is 3x. Additionally, there are 1/2 as many lemons as oranges, so the number of lemons is (1/2)x. The total number of fruits in the basket is given as 45. Therefore, the equation can be formed as x + 3x + (1/2)x = 45. Simplifying this equation gives us 7x = 45, which means x = 45/7. However, since the number of oranges must be a whole number, the closest whole number to 45/7 is 6. So, the correct answer is 10 oranges.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Which is next in the series: 70,   80,   40,   50,   25  ___?

    • 12.5

    • 15

    • 30

    • 35

    Correct Answer
    A. 35
    Explanation
    The pattern alternates between adding 10 and then halving the result. Following this sequence:
    Start with 70, add 10 to get 80.
    Halve 80 to get 40.
    Add 10 to 40 to get 50.
    Halve 50 to get 25.
    Following this pattern, after halving to get 25, the next step is to add 10:
    25 + 10 = 35
    So, the next number in the series is 35

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    There are 4 people that form a company and invest, collectively, $86,000 into the company. They will split the profits in the proportion they invested, which is as follows: A =$2,000, B =$4,000, C = $20,000 and D = $60,000. If the company has $430,000 profit to split, how much does A get?

    • $7,000

    • $8,000

    • $9,000

    • $10,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $10,000
    Explanation
    To find out how much A gets, we need to calculate the proportion of A's investment out of the total investment and then multiply it by the total profit. A's investment is $2,000 out of the total investment of $86,000, which is 2,000/86,000 = 0.0233. Multiplying this proportion by the total profit of $430,000 gives us 0.0233 * 430,000 = $10,009. Since we are asked for the closest whole number, A gets $10,000.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    John trades 2 pencils for 22 buttons. If John has 6 more pencils, how many buttons will he have in total if he trades all of his pencils for buttons?

    • 44 buttons

    • 66 buttons

    • 88 buttons

    • 110 buttons

    Correct Answer
    A. 88 buttons
    Explanation
    If John trades 2 pencils for 22 buttons, we can determine the ratio of pencils to buttons as 2:22. This means that for every 2 pencils, John receives 22 buttons. If John has 6 more pencils, he would have a total of 8 pencils. Using the ratio, we can calculate that John would receive (22/2) * 8 = 88 buttons if he trades all of his pencils. Therefore, the correct answer is 88 buttons.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    It takes 49 minutes to heat water to 350 degrees when the initial temperature of the water is room temperature of 25 degrees. If the water heats evenly over time, how many minutes will it take for the water to reach 200 degrees?

    • 35.5 minutes

    • 26.5 minutes

    • 22 minutes

    • 25 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 26.5 minutes
    Explanation
    To determine how many minutes it will take for the water to reach 200 degrees, we can use a proportion since the heating process is assumed to be constant and linear.
    Let's set up the proportion:
    (Change in temperature) / (Time taken) = (Change in temperature) / (Time required)
    In this case:
    (350 degrees - initial temperature) / 49 minutes = (200 degrees - initial temperature) / (time required)
    Now, we want to solve for "time required" (the time it takes to reach 200 degrees):
    (350 - initial temperature) / 49 = (200 - initial temperature) / (time required)
    If the initial temperature is room temperature (around 25 degrees Celsius), you can calculate:
    (time required) = (49 * (200 - 25)) / (350 - 25)
    (time required) = (49 * 175) / 325
    (time required) ≈ 26.5 minutes

    Which ONE is least likely to belong to the group: (Egg, Bus, Flower, Car, Pregnant Woman, Box, Birds Nest, Bag)

    • Flower

    • Box

    • Egg

    • Bus

    Correct Answer
    A. Flower
    Explanation
    The group consists of objects that are typically associated with transportation or containment, such as bus, car, box, and bag. The outlier in this group is flower, as it does not fit the transportation or containment theme.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    John has one bag of marbles and one bag of rocks. A bag of marbles has 4 marbles. A bag of rocks has 8 rocks. How many more bags of marbles are needed until John's marbles double his number of rocks if his number of rocks remains 8?

    • 1 more bag of marbles are needed

    • 2 more bags of marbles are needed

    • 3 more bags of marbles are needed

    • 4 more bags of marbles are needed

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 more bags of marbles are needed
    Explanation
    John currently has 8 rocks and wants to double that number. Since a bag of marbles has 4 marbles, he needs to have 16 marbles in order to double the number of rocks. Since he already has 4 marbles, he needs an additional 12 marbles. Since each bag of marbles has 4 marbles, he needs 3 more bags of marbles to reach the desired number of marbles.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    If canned vegetables are .79 a can, how many cans of vegetables can Gary buy for $10, and how much change will he have left over?

    • 12 cans, .52 left over

    • 11 cans, .48 left over

    • 13 cans, .47 left over

    • 12 cans, .48 left over

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 cans, .52 left over
    Explanation
    Gary can buy 12 cans of vegetables for $10 because 10 divided by .79 equals 12.65, which rounds down to 12. He will have .52 left over because 10 minus (12 times .79) equals .52.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    Which of the following number does NOT FIT within the pattern of the numbers: (7,16, 11, 20, 17, 15,  24, 19)

    • 17

    • 15

    • 11

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 17
    Explanation
    In the given pattern of numbers, each number is obtained by adding 4 to the previous number, except for the number 17. The numbers 7, 11, 15, and 19 are obtained by adding 4 to the previous number (3, 7, 11, 15). The numbers 16, 20, and 24 are obtained by adding 4 to the previous number (12, 16, 20). Therefore, the number 17 does not fit within the pattern.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    What number does NOT FIT within the pattern of the numbers:     48,    24,     36,    18,     32,     27,    13.5,    20.25

    • 32

    • 18

    • 13.5

    • 27

    Correct Answer
    A. 32
    Explanation
    To determine which number does not fit within the given pattern: 48, 24, 36, 18, 32, 27, 13.5, 20.25, we need to analyze the relationship between the numbers.
    Observing the sequence:
    48 to 24 is halved (48 / 2 = 24).
    24 to 36 looks like a multiplication by 1.5 (24 * 1.5 = 36).
    36 to 18 is halved again (36 / 2 = 18).
    18 to 32 does not seem to fit a simple half or 1.5 multiplication pattern (18 * 1.5 = 27, not 32).
    32 to 27 seems unrelated by simple multiplication or division.
    27 to 13.5 is halved (27 / 2 = 13.5).
    13.5 to 20.25 is multiplied by 1.5 (13.5 * 1.5 = 20.25).
    From this observation, we can see a repeating pattern of halving or multiplying by 1.5. However, the transitions from:
    18 to 32
    32 to 27
    do not fit this halving or 1.5 multiplication pattern. Among these, 32 stands out particularly as not fitting any logical continuation from the preceding number 18 or to the following number 27 based on the recurring operations in other parts of the sequence.
    Hence, the number 32 does not fit within the established pattern of the given sequence.
