      0

    Correct Answer

    The series follows a pattern where each number is subtracted by a decreasing amount. Starting from 25, 1 is subtracted to get 24, then 2 is subtracted to get 22, then 3 is subtracted to get 19, and finally 4 is subtracted to get 15. Therefore, the next number should be obtained by subtracting 5 from 15, resulting in 10.

    Two people can make 2 bicycles in 2 hours. How many people are needed to make 12 bicycles in 6 hours?

    • A.

    • E.

      0

    Correct Answer
    B. 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 in that time frame.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • A.

      33 percent

    • B.

      20 percent

    • C.

      23 percent

    • D.

      35 percent

    • E.

      40 percent

    Correct Answer
    A. 33 percent
    Explanation
    To find the percentage increase needed to restore the product's original price, we need to calculate the difference between the reduced price and the original price, and then express that difference as a percentage of the reduced price. Since the price was reduced by 25 percent, the reduced price is 75 percent of the original price. To restore the product to its original price, we need to increase the reduced price by 33 percent, which is equivalent to one-third of the reduced price. Therefore, the correct answer is 33 percent.

      Peter is taller than Bill

    • C.

      Bill is as tall as Peter

    • D.

      It is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller

    Correct Answer
    D. 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, it is impossible to determine whether Bill or Peter is taller based on the given information.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    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?

    • A.

      15%

    • B.

      20%

    • C.

      25%

    • D.

      30%

    • E.

      35%

    Correct Answer
    C. 25%
    Explanation
    When the price of an article is cut by 20% for a sale, it means that the article is being sold at 80% of its original price. To find out by what percent the discounted item must be increased to again sell the article at the original price, we need to find the percentage increase from 80% to 100%. This can be calculated by dividing the difference between 100% and 80% (which is 20%) by 80% and then multiplying by 100. So, (20/80) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, the discounted item must be increased by 25% to sell the article at the original price.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Mary had a number of cookies. After eating one, she gave half the remainder to her sister. After eating another cookie, she gave half of what was left to her brother. Mary now had only five cookies left. How many cookies did she start with?

    Explanation
    Mary started with 23 cookies. After eating one, she had 22 cookies left. She gave half of the remainder, which is 11 cookies, to her sister, leaving her with 11 cookies. After eating another cookie, she had 10 cookies left. She gave half of what was left, which is 5 cookies, to her brother. Hence, Mary started with 23 cookies.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Is there a 4th of July in England?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The 4th of July is a date that is specific to the United States, as it is the day that commemorates the country's independence. England does not celebrate the 4th of July as a national holiday, as it does not hold the same significance for them. However, the statement "Yes" suggests that there is a 4th of July in England, which is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    How many birthdays does the average man have?

      1

    • B.

      Every year.

    Correct Answer

    The average man has one birthday because a birthday refers to the day a person is born. While a person celebrates their birthday every year, it is still the same birthday, commemorating the day they were born.

      9

    • E.

      12

    Correct Answer
    E. 12
    Explanation
    All months have at least 28 days, so the correct answer is 12. This is because every month starts with at least 28 days and some months have additional days. Therefore, all 12 months have 28 days or more.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which number should come next in the series?1-1-2-3-5-8-13

    • A.

    • D.

      26

    • E.

      31

    Correct Answer
    C. 21
    Explanation
    The given series is a Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Starting with 1 and 1, the next number is 2, then 3 (1+2), 5 (2+3), 8 (3+5), and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series should be the sum of 8 and 13, which is 21.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Mary, who is sixteen years old, is four times as old as her brother. How old will Mary be when she is twice as old as her brother?

    • A.

      20

    • B.

      24

    • C.

      25

    • D.

      26

    • E.

      28

    Correct Answer
    B. 24
    Explanation
    Mary is currently four times as old as her brother, so her brother is 16/4 = 4 years old.
    Let's assume that after x years, Mary will be twice as old as her brother.
    So, after x years, Mary will be 16 + x years old, and her brother will be 4 + x years old.
    According to the given information, Mary will be twice as old as her brother, so the equation becomes: 16 + x = 2(4 + x).
    Simplifying the equation, we get: 16 + x = 8 + 2x.
    Solving for x, we find that x = 8.
    Therefore, after 8 years, Mary will be 16 + 8 = 24 years old, which is twice as old as her brother.

    Correct Answer
    E. THIRTY
    Explanation
    The given series follows a pattern where each number is either a multiple of 2 or 3. However, the number 30 does not follow this pattern as it is not a multiple of 2 or 3. Therefore, THIRTY does not belong in the given series.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Which one of the five choices makes the best comparison?Finger is to Hand as Leaf is to:

    • A.

      Twig

    • B.

      Tree

    • C.

      Branch

    • D.

      Blosom

    • E.

      Bark

    Correct Answer
    C. Branch
    Explanation
    The analogy in this question is comparing the relationship between a finger and a hand to the relationship between a leaf and something else. A finger is a part of a hand, just as a leaf is a part of a branch. Therefore, the best comparison is "Branch" because it completes the analogy by showing that a leaf is connected to a branch.

    • E.

      6

    Correct Answer
    D. 5
    Explanation
    John needs to make a minimum of 5 trips to the store. Since he can only carry 3 bottles at a time, he will need to make 4 trips to carry a total of 12 bottles. On the 5th trip, he will be able to carry the remaining 1 bottle, completing his total of 13 bottles.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then all Bloops are definitely Lazzies?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then it can be concluded that all Bloops are Lazzies. This is because if something belongs to a category (Bloops) that is entirely contained within another category (Razzies), and that second category (Razzies) is entirely contained within a third category (Lazzies), then the first category (Bloops) must also be entirely contained within the third category (Lazzies). Therefore, it can be inferred that all Bloops are definitely Lazzies.

      26

    • D.

      29

    • E.

      48

    Correct Answer
    D. 29
    Explanation
    In the given series, each number is obtained by adding 1, then multiplying by 2, then subtracting 3, and so on. However, the number 29 does not follow this pattern. It should have been obtained by adding 1 to the previous number (26), but instead, it is 3 units higher. Therefore, 29 does not belong in the series.
