4 hours and 15 minutes ago, it was 7:15 A.M. To find the current time, we need to add 4 hours and 15 minutes to 7:15 A.M. 4 hours and 15 minutes is equivalent to 4 hours and 15 minutes past 7:00 A.M. which is 11:15 A.M. Therefore, the current time is 11:30 A.M., which matches the given answer.

To find the number of different outfits, we multiply the number of choices for each item of clothing. In this case, we have 6 choices for shirts and 4 choices for pants. Multiplying these together gives us 24 different outfits that can be made. Therefore, the correct answer is 24 Outfits.

The series follows a pattern where each letter is obtained by adding a certain number of letters to the previous letter. In this case, the pattern is +1, +2, +3, +4. Starting with "A", we add 1 letter to get "C", then add 2 letters to get "F", then add 3 letters to get "J", and finally add 4 letters to get "O". Therefore, the next letter in the series would be obtained by adding 5 letters to "O", which gives us "U".

Dan drove 62 miles and Jan drove two and a half times as far. To find out how far Jan drove, we multiply 62 by 2.5, which equals 155 miles. Adding Dan's distance of 62 miles to Jan's distance of 155 miles gives a total of 217 miles.

In a four-person family, if each member gives a present to each person, we can calculate the number of gifts by multiplying the number of people (4) by the number of recipients (4). This gives us a total of 16 presents. However, since each person is also giving a present to themselves, we need to subtract 4 from the total. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 presents.

The boy is currently three times the age of the girl, so if the girl's age is x, then the boy's age is 3x. In three years, the girl's age will be x+3 and the boy's age will be 3x+3. According to the given information, the boy's age in three years will be twice the girl's age, so we can write the equation 3x+3 = 2(x+3). Solving this equation, we find x = 3. Therefore, the girl is currently 3 years old, and the boy is currently 3*3 = 9 years old.

The word "Are" is the odd one out because it is the only word that is a verb, while the other words are nouns.

If seven analysts can input 1001 logs in 429 minutes, it means that each analyst can input 1001/7 = 143 logs in 429 minutes. Therefore, in 1001 minutes, each analyst can input 143 * (1001/429) = 333 logs. Since there are three analysts, the total number of logs they can input in 1001 minutes is 333 * 3 = 999. Therefore, the answer is 1001.

There are 25 stations in total, and for each station, there are 24 possible end points (excluding the starting point itself). Therefore, the total number of different combinations of start and end points is 25 multiplied by 24, which equals 600.

In a single-elimination tournament, each match eliminates one player until only one player remains as the winner. Since there were 1024 matches, it means that 1024 players were eliminated throughout the tournament. However, the winner of the tournament is not counted among the eliminated players. Therefore, to find the total number of players, we need to add the number of eliminated players (1024) to the winner (1). Therefore, the total number of players in the tournament is 1025.
