    Simon, Cheryl, and Dannii are all going by train to London to watch a singing competition. Cheryl gets the 2.15 pm train. Simon's train journey takes 50% longer than Dannii's. Simon catches the 3.00 train. Dannii leaves 20 minutes after Cheryl and arrives at 3.25 pm. When will Simon arrive?

    • 4:00

    • 4:15

    • 4:30

    • 4:45

    Correct Answer
    A. 4:15
    Explanation
    Simon's train journey takes 50% longer than Dannii's. Since Dannii's train journey takes 20 minutes (from 2:35 pm to 3:25 pm), Simon's train journey will take 50% longer, which is 30 minutes. Therefore, Simon's train will arrive at 3:00 pm + 30 minutes = 3:30 pm.

    You work in purchasing for a company & must buy the following 9 cars for the company pool in the next three months. The company is bureaucratic & has a rule that exactly £60,000 must be spent in each of the three months & you are only allowed to buy 3 cars each month. In the first month, you buy the Fiat Uno. Which other 2 cars must you buy that month? BMW Series 3 £40,000    Lexus £36,000 Volvo Estate £32,000       Ford Focus £14,000 Ford Focus £14,000        Ford Focus £14,000 Skoda Octavia £12,000    Ford Ka £10,000     Fiat Uno £8,000

    • BMW & Focus

    • Lexus & Volvo

    • Focus & Focus

    • Volvo & Skoda

    • Skoda & BMW

    Correct Answer
    A. Skoda & BMW
    Explanation
    In order to spend exactly £60,000 in the first month, you need to choose two cars that, when added to the cost of the Fiat Uno, will total £60,000. The cost of the Fiat Uno is £8,000, so you need to choose two cars that add up to £52,000. The Skoda Octavia costs £12,000 and the BMW Series 3 costs £40,000, which adds up to £52,000. Therefore, the other two cars that must be bought in the first month are the Skoda Octavia and the BMW Series 3.

    • 14

    • 15

    • 16

    • 17

    Correct Answer
    A. 13
    Explanation
    Josh initially had 11 rubber bands. He gave 3 bands to Sunita, so he has 11-3 = 8 bands left. Sunita now has twice the amount of bands Josh has left, which means she has 2*8 = 16 bands. Therefore, Sunita had 16 bands at the beginning.

    • 4:00

    • 4:15

    • 4:30

    • 4:45

    Correct Answer
    A. 4:15
    Explanation
    Simon's train journey takes 50% longer than Dannii's. Dannii leaves 20 minutes after Cheryl and arrives at 3:25 pm. This means Dannii's train journey takes 70 minutes. Since Simon's train journey is 50% longer than Dannii's, his journey would take 105 minutes. Simon catches the 3:00 train, so he will arrive 105 minutes after that, which is at 4:15 pm.

    Wayne is double the age of Fernando and one third as old as Didier who will be 48 years old in 6 years. How old is Fernando?

    • 7

    • 8

    • 10

    • 11

    • 21

    Correct Answer
    A. 7
    Explanation
    We are given:
    Didier will be 48 years old in 6 years → Didier is now 48 - 6 = 42 years old.
    Wayne is one third as old as Didier → Wayne is 42 ÷ 3 = 14 years old.
    Wayne is double the age of Fernando → Fernando is 14 ÷ 2 = 7 years old.

    One third of a number is four times eleven. What is half of that number?

    • 22

    • 36

    • 44

    • 56

    • 66

    Correct Answer
    A. 66
    Explanation
    If one third of a number is four times eleven, we can first find the number by multiplying four by eleven and then multiplying the result by three. Four times eleven is forty-four, and three times forty-four is one hundred and thirty-two. The question asks for half of that number, so we divide one hundred and thirty-two by two, which gives us sixty-six. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.

    A crofter has to get to his herd of sheep quickly as he has been told they are being attacked by a dog. His sheep are on the other side of a steep hill. He can run over the hill (3 miles) at 4 miles an hour, or take his tractor via an old dirt track which is 5 miles at an average of 6 miles an hour or he can drive his car along a very narrow winding road but this is 14 miles and he can only go at 18 miles an hour on average. Which method should he choose?

    • Running

    • Tractor

    • Car

    Correct Answer
    A. Running
    Explanation
    The crofter should choose running as the method to get to his herd of sheep quickly. Although it is a longer distance compared to the other options, running over the hill is the fastest method with a speed of 4 miles per hour. The tractor and car may cover shorter distances, but their slower speeds of 6 miles per hour and 18 miles per hour respectively make them slower overall. Therefore, running is the most efficient choice in this situation.

    You spend 56 pounds in total on a cactus, a stuffed porcupine and a puncture repair kit. The cactus costs twice as much as the puncture repair kit and the stuffed porcupine double the price of the cactus. How many pounds did the cactus cost?

    • 14

    • 16

    • 18

    • 20

    • 22

    Correct Answer
    A. 16
    Explanation
    Let's assume the cost of the puncture repair kit is x pounds. According to the information given, the cactus costs twice as much as the puncture repair kit, so the cactus costs 2x pounds. The stuffed porcupine costs double the price of the cactus, so it costs 2 * 2x = 4x pounds. The total cost of the three items is 56 pounds, so we can write the equation x + 2x + 4x = 56. Simplifying this equation, we get 7x = 56, which means x = 8. Therefore, the cactus costs 2x = 2 * 8 = 16 pounds.

      You take seven children to a toy shop to buy each a soft toy. The toy shop only has one of each type so you ask the children their preferences. You decide to give each child one of their preferred toys. Which animal will you give Jezebel? James:  Wombat Panda  Gorilla  Kitten Rat Josh:   Panda  Donkey Dog Jezebel:  Panda  Donkey Kitten  Dog Jamelia:  Panda  Donkey Dog Janine:  Wombat Gorilla  Donkey Kitten Rat Jasbeet:  Panda  Dog Jason:  Wombat Gorilla  Dog  Rat  Kitten

    • Wombat

    • Panda

    • Dog

    • Kitten

    • Rat

    Correct Answer
    A. Kitten
    Explanation
    Jezebel's preferred toys are Panda, Donkey, Kitten, and Dog. Since there is only one of each toy available, we need to find the toy that is preferred by Jezebel and has not been chosen by any other child. Among Jezebel's preferences, Panda and Donkey have already been chosen by other children. However, Kitten has not been chosen by any other child. Therefore, Jezebel will be given a Kitten soft toy.

    5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will be required to lay a total of 60 bricks in 20 minutes?

    • 8

    • 9

    • 10

    • 11

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    5 bricklayers lay 50 bricks in 30 minutes.
    So in 1 minute, they lay:
    50 ÷ 30 = 1.67 bricks per minute (together)
    Each bricklayer lays:
    1.67 ÷ 5 = 0.33 bricks per minute
    Now we need to lay 60 bricks in 20 minutes.
    So the required speed is:
    60 ÷ 20 = 3 bricks per minute
    If one bricklayer lays 0.33 bricks per minute, then:
    Number of bricklayers needed = 3 ÷ 0.33 = 9
    Final Answer: 9

    How many degrees are there between the two hands of a clock at 6.30 am?

    • 0

    • 5

    • 10

    • 15

    • 30

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    At 6:30 am, the minute hand is on the 6 and the hour hand is halfway between the 6 and the 7. This means that the hour hand is pointing at the 6. The angle between the two hands is formed by the difference in their positions. Since the hour hand is pointing at the 6 and the minute hand is pointing at the 3, the angle between them is 90 degrees. However, since the hour hand is halfway between the 6 and the 7, we need to add half of the angle between two numbers on a clock, which is 30 degrees. Therefore, the total angle between the two hands is 90 + 30 = 120 degrees.

    An old treasure map has the following instructions: Stand next to the black rock and face West. Walk 20 yards and then turn 90 degrees clockwise. Walk another 10 yards and then turn 45 degrees anticlockwise. Walk another 15 yards, reverse your direction and walk 5 yards back. Turn 135 degrees clockwise and walk another 10 yards. In which direction are you now facing?

    • E

    • W

    • N

    • S

    • SE

    Correct Answer
    A. N
    Explanation
    Following the instructions, the initial direction is West. Turning 90 degrees clockwise would make the direction North. Turning 45 degrees anticlockwise would not change the direction, still facing North. Reversing the direction and walking back 5 yards would not change the direction either. Finally, turning 135 degrees clockwise would make the direction East. Therefore, after following all the instructions, you would be facing North.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mr. Bumpem & Mr. Parker
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Mr. Bumpem & Mr. Parker. This is because Mr. Bumpem is only available on Wednesday, and since there are only morning and afternoon slots available, he must have a morning appointment. Similarly, Mr. Parker can make any time on a Saturday, but since the question asks for appointments that must be in the morning, he must also have a morning appointment. Therefore, both Mr. Bumpem and Mr. Parker must have morning appointments.
