A car dealership has £600,000 to spend and wants to buy equal numbers of the Taber and Ursa cars. What is the largest number of each type of car that can be ordered?
- A.
27
- B.
48
- C.
19
- D.
21
- E.
22
Correct Answer
D. 21Explanation
The largest number of each type of car that can be ordered is 21. To determine this, divide the total budget of £600,000 by 2 (since equal numbers of Taber and Ursa cars are desired), resulting in £300,000. Then, divide this amount by the cost of one car to find the maximum number of cars that can be purchased.Rate this question:

Legal sector spending on IT hardware, IT software and IT consulting are all set to increase by the same amounts in Year 6 as they did from Year 4 to Year 5. Assuming this is the case, what would be the total legal sector spending in Year 6 on these three IT areas combined?
- A.
£75 million
- B.
£85 million
- C.
£95 million
- D.
£105 million
- E.
£110 million
Correct Answer
E. £110 millionExplanation
The total legal sector spending in Year 6 on IT hardware, IT software, and IT consulting combined would be £110 million. This is because the question states that the spending on these three areas will increase by the same amounts in Year 6 as they did from Year 4 to Year 5. Since the question does not provide specific amounts for the increases, we can assume that the increases are equal. Therefore, if the total spending in Year 5 was £75 million, it would increase by the same amount to reach £110 million in Year 6.Rate this question:

A father is 30 years older than his son. He will be three times as old as his son after 5 years. What is the father's present age?
- A.
35
- B.
45
- C.
40
- D.
30
- E.
50
Correct Answer
C. 40Explanation
Let the son's present age be x. According to the given information, the father is 30 years older than his son, so the father's present age is x + 30. After 5 years, the son's age will be x + 5 and the father's age will be x + 30 + 5 = x + 35. The question states that the father will be three times as old as his son after 5 years, so we can set up the equation x + 35 = 3(x + 5). Solving this equation gives x = 10, which means the son's present age is 10 and the father's present age is 10 + 30 = 40.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 81Explanation
The given series follows a pattern where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Starting with 3, the next terms are obtained by multiplying 3 by 2 successively. Therefore, the next term in the series would be 54 * 2 = 108.Rate this question:

If 30% of a number is 12.6, find the number?
- A.
45
- B.
38
- C.
40
- D.
42
- E.
48
Correct Answer
D. 42Explanation
If 30% of a number is 12.6, we can set up the equation: 0.3x = 12.6, where x represents the unknown number. To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.3, giving us x = 12.6/0.3 = 42. Therefore, the number is 42.Rate this question:

What number must be added to 6, 16 and 8 to get an average of 13?
- A.
22
- B.
25
- C.
20
- D.
18
- E.
15
Correct Answer
A. 22Explanation
To find the number that must be added to 6, 16, and 8 to get an average of 13, we can use the formula for average: average = (sum of numbers) / (number of numbers). In this case, the sum of the numbers is 6 + 16 + 8 = 30. To find the missing number, we can rearrange the formula: (30 + x) / 4 = 13, where x represents the missing number. Solving for x, we get x = 22. Therefore, the number that must be added is 22.Rate this question:

10 cats caught 10 rats in 10 seconds. How many cats are required to catch 100 rats in 100 seconds?
- A.
100
- B.
10
- C.
20
- D.
50
- E.
30
Correct Answer
B. 10Explanation
If 10 cats can catch 10 rats in 10 seconds, it means that each cat catches one rat in 10 seconds. Therefore, if we want to catch 100 rats in 100 seconds, we still only need 10 cats because each cat can catch one rat in the same amount of time.Rate this question:

Shehu is two years older than Bisi who is twice as old as Emeka. If the total of their ages be 27, the how old is Bisi?
- A.
7
- B.
8
- C.
9
- D.
10
- E.
11
Correct Answer
D. 10Explanation
Let's assume Emeka's age to be x. Based on the given information, Bisi's age would be 2x and Shehu's age would be 2x + 2. The sum of their ages is given as 27. So, x + 2x + 2 + 2x = 27. Simplifying this equation, we get 5x + 2 = 27. Solving for x, we find x = 5. Therefore, Bisi's age would be 2x = 2 * 5 = 10.Rate this question:

There are two valves at the bottom of a water tank which allow the tank to be drained. If both valves are opened, how long will it take before the tank is empty? Statement 1 - If only valve 1 is opened, the tank will be empty in 10 minutes Statement 2 - If only valve 2 is opened, the tank will be empty in 20 minutes Which of the statements above make it possible to answer the question.
- A.
Statement 1 alone is sufficient, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient
- B.
Statement 2 alone is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient
- C.
Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient
- D.
Each statement alone is sufficient
- E.
Statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient
Correct Answer
C. Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficientExplanation
From statement 1, we know that if only valve 1 is opened, the tank will be empty in 10 minutes. This means that valve 1 can drain the tank in 10 minutes.
From statement 2, we know that if only valve 2 is opened, the tank will be empty in 20 minutes. This means that valve 2 can drain the tank in 20 minutes.
However, we cannot determine how long it will take for the tank to be empty when both valves are opened based on either statement alone. We need both statements together to determine that information. Therefore, both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.Rate this question:

Of the teams competing in the world archery championships, twenty percent are from Europe. Half as many are from the United States and one twentieth are from Africa. What fraction of teams are from neither Europe, the US or Africa?
- A.
13/20
- B.
15/20
- C.
13/15
- D.
17/20
- E.
13/17
Correct Answer
A. 13/20Explanation
The question states that twenty percent of the teams are from Europe, which means that 80 percent of the teams are not from Europe. It also states that half as many teams are from the United States, so 40 percent of the teams are from the US. Additionally, one twentieth of the teams are from Africa, which is 5 percent. Therefore, the fraction of teams that are not from Europe, the US, or Africa is 80 percent + 40 percent + 5 percent, which equals 125 percent. However, since the question asks for a fraction, we can simplify 125/100 to 5/4. To find the fraction of teams that are from neither Europe, the US, or Africa, we subtract 5/4 from 1 (since 1 represents the whole), which gives us 4/4 - 5/4 = 1/4. Therefore, the fraction of teams that are from neither Europe, the US, or Africa is 1/4, which is equivalent to 13/20.Rate this question:
