Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Sam had 342 coins. He spent 2. How many coins does he have now?

    • A.

      336

    • D.

      344

    Correct Answer
    C. 340
    Explanation
    Sam initially had 342 coins. After spending 2 coins, the calculation would be 342 - 2, resulting in 340 coins. Therefore, Sam now has 340 coins remaining. This subtraction reflects the coins he spent, and the remaining quantity accurately represents the total number of coins he possesses.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    A man puts an even number of candies in a jar. How many candies could he have put in the pot out of the given options?

    • A.

      901

    • D.

      905

    Correct Answer
    B. 900
    Explanation
    Since the question states that the man puts an even number of candies in the jar, the answer must also be an even number. Among the given options, only 900 is an even number, so it is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    B. 9
    Explanation
    The man bought a total of:
    - 3 oranges
    - 4 apples
    - 2 bananas

    To find the total number of fruits, you simply add these amounts together:

    [ 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ]

    Therefore, the man bought 9 fruits in total.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If 1 pen costs $2. How much would 3 pens cost?

    • A.

      $3

    • B.

      $4

    • C.

      $5

    • D.

      $6

    Correct Answer
    D. $6
    Explanation
    If one pen costs $2, then the cost of three pens would be calculated by multiplying the cost of one pen by the number of pens:
    3 pens x $2 per pen = $6

    Thus, three pens would cost $6.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What number would fit in the blank? 5, 10, 15, ______,25.

    • A.

      17

    • B.

      18

    • C.

      19

    • D.

      20

    Correct Answer
    D. 20
    Explanation
    The numbers in the sequence 5, 10, 15, ____, 25 are increasing by 5 each time. So, continuing this pattern:

    [ 15 + 5 = 20 ]

    Therefore, the number that fits in the blank is 20. The sequence is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which number comes next in the series? 2231, 2331, 2431,...... ?

    • A.

      2432

    • B.

      2430

    • C.

      2531

    • D.

      2431

    Correct Answer
    C. 2531
    Explanation
    The series follows a pattern where 100 is added to each number. The first digit increases by 1 and the last two digits remain the same. Therefore, the next number in the series would have a first digit of 2, the last two digits of 31, and a middle digit that increases by 1, resulting in 2531.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the correct ascending order for the following numbers? 15,32,5,27,10

    • A.

      5, 10, 15, 27, 32

    • B.

      10, 5, 15, 27, 32

    • C.

      5, 15, 10, 27, 32

    • D.

      15, 10, 27, 32, 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 5, 10, 15, 27, 32
    Explanation
    Ascending order arranges numbers from the smallest to the largest. To order the numbers 15, 32, 5, 27, and 10 correctly, you begin by identifying the smallest number, which is 5. Then, you sequentially find the next smallest numbers, resulting in the order of 10, 15, 27, and finally, 32, which is the largest number in this sequence. This method ensures that each number is listed in increasing magnitude, making option A (5, 10, 15, 27, 32) the correct sequence in the multiple-choice question provided. This systematic approach is essential for organizing data clearly and is commonly used in mathematical operations and data analysis.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What's 20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10?

    • A.

      60

    • B.

      80

    • C.

      40

    • D.

      120

    Correct Answer
    B. 80
    Explanation
    The sum of 20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 is 80.
    You can calculate this sum by adding each number individually:
    20 + 20 + 20 = 60
    60 + 10 = 70
    70 + 10 = 80
    Therefore, the total sum of 20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 is 80.
