Tas Sample Police Quiz

To find 50% of a number, we divide the number by 2. In this case, we divide 12 by 2, which gives us 6. Therefore, 6 is 50% of 12.

This is the only grammatically correct word. The only other word which comes close is 'possibility'. However then the sentence would read "...would make it possible to do some shopping."

The sentence starts with the connector "SINCE" and the blank is after the comma. This means you need a subject, verb or both. Options "A" and "C" are eliminated because they also have connectors. Options "B" is eliminated because it has no subject. Leaving option "D" as the correct option.

Experiance is spelled incorrectly. The correct spelling is 'experience'.

There is an extra relation here to confuse you. The mother's sister's brother is of course the mother's brother. And the brother's wife's child is also the brother's child.

So now you can read it as the mother's brother's child. This is easier to identify the answer as your cousin.

Working our subtraction or addition in your head gets easier with practice. In this case, it can be useful to subtract the '7' first and then the '20'. So 119 - 7 = 112 and then 112 - 20 = 92. This progressive sort of mathematics can be easier to handle. If you're in a rush, the other option is to quickly narrow down to the possible options based on 'partial' solution. In this case we know that 9 - 7 (the final digits) = 2, so the answer MUST be one of the options ending in '2' which narrows down to two possible choices. 50 / 50 is better odds than a plain guess!

Every second box is the two dots in reverse positions. They are mirror image each time.

The dot is on the outside in 'f'. In all the other pictures it is on the inside.

The image is a mirror image top to bottom. Or vertically mirrored.

The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

Thumb: a
Pointer Finger: b
Middle Finger c
Third finger: d
Pinky finger: e

This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.

A blank picture follows the bigger circle.

Four shapes are paired with two shapes. And the shapes are different.

You can solve this by rough estimation given you have multiple choice here. You can quickly see that each of the first 3 answers satisfy the condition that the father is currently 5 times the age of the son.

By subtracting 4 years from each age in each answer you will see them as follows:
a: 26 and 2
b: 21 and 1
c: 36 and 4

Now it is clear that the answer is c: 40 and 8 (because 4 x 9 = 36 and 5 x 8 = 40). These questions are why it is important to learn your multiplication tables prior to testing.

Work this backwards if it helps. So 25% of 20 = 5 (another way to do this is 20 / 4 = 5).

Then 20% of 5 = 1 (another way to do this is 5 / 5 = 1)

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.

Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

5x = 20

x = 4.

Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.
