    Which one of the five makes the best comparison?   CAACCAC is to 3113313 as CACAACAC is to:

    • 31313113

    • 31311313

    • 31311131

    • 13133313

    • 13133131

    Correct Answer
    A. 31311313
    Explanation
    In the given question, the pattern is that the letters "C" and "A" alternate, and the numbers increase by 1 each time. Applying this pattern to the second set, we get CACAACAC. The numbers in the second set should increase by 1 each time, so the correct answer is 31311313.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which one of the five is least like the other four?

    • Cow

    • Tiger

    • Snake

    • Dog

    • Bear

    Correct Answer
    A. Snake
    Explanation
    The other four options (cow, tiger, dog, bear) are all mammals, while a snake is a reptile. The distinction lies in their biological classification, as mammals have hair or fur, give live birth, and nurse their young, whereas reptiles like snakes have scales, lay eggs, and do not nurse their young.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which number should come next in this series? 25,24,22,19,15

    • 14

    • 5

    • 30

    • 10

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    The series is decreasing by a certain number each time. The pattern appears to be subtracting 1, then subtracting 2, then subtracting 3, and so on. The first number, 25, is subtracted by 1 to get 24. Then, 24 is subtracted by 2 to get 22. Following this pattern, 22 is subtracted by 3 to get 19, and 19 is subtracted by 4 to get 15. Therefore, the next number in the series should be 15 subtracted by 5, which equals 10.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which one of the five makes the best comparison?Milk is to glass as letter is to:

    • Stamp

    • Pen

    • Envelope

    • Book

    • Mail

    Correct Answer
    A. Envelope
    Explanation
    Milk is commonly served in a glass, so the comparison is between the container and the contents. Similarly, a letter is typically placed inside an envelope, making "letter is to envelope" the best comparison. The other options do not have the same direct relationship as milk to glass.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Is there a 4th of July in England?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The 4th of July is a specific date that is associated with the Independence Day of the United States. It commemorates the day when the United States declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776. Therefore, the 4th of July is not a recognized holiday in England, as it has no historical significance for them. However, it is important to note that England does have its own national holiday, which is celebrated on the 23rd of April and is known as St. George's Day.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which one of the five is least like the other four?

    • Potato

    • Carrot

    • Corn

    • Apple

    Correct Answer
    A. Apple
    Explanation
    All the given options (potato, carrot, bean, corn) are vegetables, while apple is a fruit. Therefore, apple is least like the other four options because it belongs to a different category.

    Jack is taller than Peter, and Bill is shorter than Jack. Which of the following statements would be more accurate?

    • Bill is taller than Peter

    • Peter is taller than Bill

    • Bill is as tall as Peter

    • It is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller

    Correct Answer
    A. It is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller
    Explanation
    Based on the given information, we know that Jack is taller than Peter and Bill is shorter than Jack. However, we do not have any direct comparison between Bill and Peter. Therefore, we cannot determine who is taller between Bill and Peter. Hence, the most accurate statement is that it is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller.

    • Thorough

    • Foolish

    • Anxious

    Explanation
    Anxious is the closest word in meaning to apprehensive. Apprehensive means feeling worried or uneasy about something that may happen in the future. Similarly, anxious also refers to feeling uneasy or worried about a future event or outcome. Therefore, anxious is the most suitable synonym for apprehensive among the given options.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    How many birthdays does the average man have?

    • 1

    • Every year.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The average man has one birthday. This is because a birthday refers to the day a person is born, and a person only has one day they were born. However, every year, the person celebrates their birthday, so they have one celebration of their birth each year.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Nia, twelve years old, is three times as old as her sister. How old will Nia be when she is twice as old as her sister?

    • 15

    • 18

    • 16

    • 20

    • 21

    Correct Answer
    A. 16
    Explanation
    Nia is currently 12 years old and three times as old as her sister, making her sister 4 years old. To find out how old Nia will be when she is twice as old as her sister, we need to calculate the age difference between them. Currently, Nia is 8 years older than her sister. Therefore, when her sister reaches 8 years old, Nia will be 16 years old, which is twice her sister's age. So, the correct answer is 16.

    Rate this question:

    • 6

    • 4

    • 2

    • 1

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    If two people can make 2 bicycles in 2 hours, it means that each person can make 1 bicycle in 2 hours. Therefore, in 6 hours, each person can make 3 bicycles. To make 12 bicycles in 6 hours, we would need 4 people, as each person can make 3 bicycles.

    Rate this question:

    Which one of the five letters is least like the other four?

    • N

    • F

    • A

    • Z

    • E

    Correct Answer
    A. E
    Explanation
    The letter "E" is the only vowel among the given options, while the other four letters ("N," "F," "A," and "Z") are all consonants. This makes "E" different from the rest and the least like the other four letters.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The price of an article was cut 20% for a sale. By what percent must the discounted item be increased to again sell the article at the original price?

    • 15%

    • 20%

    • 25%

    • 30%

    • 35%

    Correct Answer
    A. 25%
    Explanation
    When the price of an article is cut by 20% for a sale, it means that the sale price is 80% of the original price. To find out by what percent the discounted item must be increased to sell the article at the original price, we need to calculate the percentage increase from 80% to 100%.

    To do this, we can use the formula: ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) * 100. Plugging in the values, ((100 - 80) / 80) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, the discounted item must be increased by 25% to again sell the article at the original price.

    • 22

    • 23

    • 45

    • 46

    Correct Answer
    A. 23
    Explanation
    Mary started with 23 cookies. After eating one, she had 22 cookies remaining. She gave half of the remainder (11 cookies) to her sister, leaving her with 11 cookies. After eating another cookie, she gave half of what was left (5 cookies) to her brother, leaving her with 5 cookies. Therefore, Mary started with 23 cookies.

    • Electricity

    • Road

    • Automobile

    • Pulley

    • Car

    Correct Answer
    A. Spoke

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A store reduced the price of one of its products by 25 percent. What percentage of the reduced price must it be increased by putting the product back to its original price?

    • 33 percent

    • 20 percent

    • 23 percent

    • 35 percent

    • 40 percent

    Correct Answer
    A. 33 percent
    Explanation
    When the store reduces the price of a product by 25 percent, it means the price is now at 75 percent of its original price. To increase the price back to its original value, the store needs to find the percentage increase from 75 percent to 100 percent. This can be calculated by dividing the difference between 100 percent and 75 percent (25 percent) by 75 percent and multiplying by 100. The result is 33 percent, which is the percentage by which the reduced price must be increased to return to the original price.

    Correct Answer
    A. 12
    Explanation
    All months have at least 28 days, as the shortest month, February, has 28 days. Therefore, all 12 months have 28 days or more.

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    The question is a trick question because it references Moses taking animals on the ark, which is incorrect. In the Bible, it was Noah who took animals on the ark, not Moses. Therefore, the correct answer is 0, as Moses did not take any animals on the ark.
