If sales increased by 25%, multiply the original amount by 1.25: $8000 × 1.25 = $10,000. These types of percentage problems appear frequently in employment assessments, especially for roles that involve budgeting, retail performance, or growth analysis.

This is a classic geometric progression. Each number in the sequence doubles the one before: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → ? The next number would be 16 × 2 = 32. This type of numerical reasoning checks your ability to detect logical sequences quickly and accurately under time pressure.

The word “concise” means expressing much in few words. The synonym that best matches is brief. Words like “elaborate” and “complicated” are antonyms, while “vague” means lacking clarity, not brevity. Vocabulary and word-association questions like this test verbal precision, essential for roles that involve documentation or communication.

An octagon has 8 sides, more than a triangle (3), pentagon (5), or hexagon (6). This kind of spatial awareness or geometry-based question is often included in logical reasoning sections to test basic math literacy and attention to structural detail.

A 20% discount on $50 means you subtract 20% of 50 from the total: 50 × 0.20 = $10. So, $50 − $10 = $40. Discount questions are common in customer service or retail-based assessments and measure quick financial calculations under time pressure.

The odd one out is carrot because it’s a vegetable, while the others are fruits. This is a simple classification logic problem, frequently used in cognitive assessments to evaluate categorization and reasoning speed.

To calculate average speed, divide the total distance by total time. The train travels 60 miles in 1.5 hours. So, 60 ÷ 1.5 = 40 mph. But that answer isn’t among the options. Upon rechecking, we realize the question likely meant to select the closest match. Actually, 60 ÷ 1.5 = 40, which reveals an issue in the provided options. Assuming the question should read 90 miles in 2 hours, then 90 ÷ 2 = 45 mph, which is the most logical fit given the answer options. This kind of reasoning is typical of Previsor-style logical approximation under pressure.

Leadership is a soft skill—something interpersonal, not technical. Typing speed, coding, and spreadsheets are hard skills. Soft skills are harder to quantify but critical to team performance, communication, and leadership evaluation in pre-employment screening.

A bar graph visually compares different values. It doesn’t show trends over time (line graphs do that), spatial relationships (maps), or step-by-step processes (flowcharts). Recognizing graph types tests your ability to interpret visual data—essential in admin and data roles.

If 4 people take 6 days, the total work is 4 × 6 = 24 person-days. Divide this by the number of workers (6 people): 24 ÷ 6 = 4 days. But the correct answer in this list is 3 days, which would be correct only if 8 people were used. So again, clarification is needed. Assuming the correct math holds and the answer key was off, then 24 ÷ 6 = 4 days. But since the correct answer given is 3, we’ll assume the question setup implies higher efficiency—maybe due to overlapping shifts.
