Question 10: D

We are adding the first two numbers in the series to get the third (1 + 2 = 3), and then the
second and third to get the fourth (2+3=5) etc.

Therefore to get the missing numbers:


5+3= 8 and 21+13= 34

Question 11: C

100 103 101 104 102 105 103 106


The missing number in the following series is 100 because:
The series alternates the following operations minus four (+3) and plus two (-2)
Therefore 100 + 3 = 103
103 – 2 = 101
101 + 3 = 104
104 – 2 = 102
102 + 3 = 105
105 – 2 = 103
103 + 3 = 106

From the foregoing the missing number represented by x can be found by reversing the first
operation by subtracting 3 from 103 to get x i.e. x = 103 - 3 = 100

Question 12: B

Refer to the completed grid below. From top to bottom, the pattern is +5, +12

12 26 18
17 31 23
29 43 35
Question 13: D

The formula for speed:


Speed(s) = distance (d)/time (t)
Let’s solve from the known to the unknown:
Return Trip:
s = 680
t=8
680 = d/8
d = 680 × 8
= 5,440
The distance involved is 5,440 km.
Trip:
s = 544

Question 22: B

Let x represent the total number of tennis balls there are in the sack.
!
!
X: green
!
!
x: blue
!
!
x: yellow
! ! !
!
x + ! x +! x +52 = x
!!
!"
x +52 = x
!!
52 = x - !" x
!
52 = !" x
x = 624
!
!
×!624 = 104: yellow tennis balls

Question 23: D

The division of a whole number X by 15 gives a quotient of 13 and a remainder of 4. Find X.


!
X/15 = 13!" = ((13 × 15) + 4)/15 = 199/15
X = 199.

Question 24: D

Through trial and error you will observe the following pattern: that the multiplier
5 and the addend 7 alternate. Therefore the first number (5) multiplied by 5 equals
25.
Question 25: C

The fifth, sixth and seventh numbers in the sequence: 36, 42 and 48 change by the
number 6.The numbers in the sequence are multiples of 6.
The first four in the sequence: 12,18,24,30
The eighth to eleventh are as follows: 54,60,66,72
We are to find the sum of the mean and median of all eleven numbers in the
sequence:
42 + 42 = 84

Mean: (average)
!"!!"!!"!!"!!"!!"!!"!!"!!"!!!!!"
!!
= 42
Median (middle number)

Question 26: E

Calculating the relationship between existing numbers, you will find that 216/36
= 6 and 1,296/216 = 6. It follows from there that each number is multiplied by 6
to get the next.
Therefore to get the missing number, the number next to the missing number
should be divided by 6 to find the missing number i.e.? × 6 = 36
? = 36/6
=6
Question 27: A

Through trial and error we can see that the numbers in the other three boxes
follow this pattern: x, 7x,7x ! .
Where the first number (represented by x) is multiplied by 7 (i.e. 7×!x) to get the
second (7x) and the second number is cubed(7x ! ) to get the third number.
It follows from there that 5× 7 = 35
3! = 42875(third term in the second box)
Question 28: D

The rent was 40% or 2/5 of his salary (i.e. 1- 3/5).


If $1,270 represented 40% of Gibby’s salary then 100% or the total salary amount
will be $3,175(given by (1,270 × 100)/40))
Question 29: C

600 × 25/100 = $150


$600 - $150 = $450(discounted price)
$450 × 15/100 = $67.50
$450 - $67.50 = $382.50(final price)

Question 30: C

Let P represent the price before the first discount.


!" ! !
P – (!"" × P) = P – !!P = ! P
! ! !
(! P) – (! P) (!!!) = 20
! !
!
P – !" P = 20
!"
!"
P = 20
!"!×!!"
P= !"

P = !"
P =31.25
Therefore the price of the headphones before the first discount is $31.25
