Questions and Answers

1.

Look at this series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4), ... What number should come next?
- A.
  
  (1/3)
- B.
  
  (1/8)
- C.
  
  (2/8)
- D.
  
  (1/16)
Correct Answer
B. (1/8)

Explanation
The series is formed by dividing each number by 2. Starting with 2, the next number is 1, which is obtained by dividing 2 by 2. Following the pattern, the next number is (1/2), obtained by dividing 1 by 2. Continuing this pattern, the next number should be (1/4), obtained by dividing (1/2) by 2. Therefore, the correct answer is (1/8), obtained by dividing (1/4) by 2.

Look at this series: 8 11 21 15 18 21 22 ... What number should come next?
- A.
  
  25 18
- B.
  
  25 21
- C.
  
  25 29
- D.
  
  24 21
Correct Answer
B. 25 21

Explanation
The given series alternates between adding 3 and subtracting 6. Starting with 8, we add 3 to get 11, then add 10 to get 21. Then, we subtract 6 to get 15, add 3 to get 18, add 3 again to get 21, and finally subtract 6 to get 15. Therefore, the next number in the series should be obtained by adding 3 to the last number, 21, giving us the answer of 25. The second number in the answer, 21, remains the same.

  A16
- B.
  
  G4
- C.
  
  E4
- D.
  
  E3
Correct Answer
C. E4

Explanation
The series follows a pattern where the letter decreases by one and the number doubles in each term. Starting with F2, the next term is E4, where E is one letter before F and 2 doubles to 4. Therefore, E4 is the number that should fill the blank.

- B.
  
  14
- C.
  
  43
- D.
  
  44
Correct Answer
B. 14

Explanation
The pattern in the series is that the first number is multiplied by 5 and then subtracted by 3 to get the second number. The third number is obtained by adding 3 to the second number. The fourth number is obtained by subtracting 2 from the third number. Following this pattern, the number that should fill in the blank is 44, as it is obtained by adding 3 to the previous number.

Fact 1: All dogs like to run. Fact 2: Some dogs like to swim. Fact 3: Some dogs look like their masters. If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact? I: All dogs who like to swim look like their masters. II: Dogs who like to swim also like to run.

Therefore, it can be concluded that dogs who like to swim also like to run. However, there is no information provided to support statements I or III, so they cannot be considered as known facts.

This makes a total of four people who occupy cottages next to a vacant cottage.
