CFAT Problem Solving: Basic Math 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A supply truck travels 360 km on 45 litres of fuel. What is the fuel efficiency in km per litre?
- 6 km/L
- 8 km/L (Correct answer)
- 10 km/L
- 12 km/L
Correct answer: 8 km/L
360 ÷ 45 = 8 km per litre.
Question 2: A soldier completes 3/4 of a 20 km march. How many kilometres remain?
- 4 km
- 5 km (Correct answer)
- 6 km
- 8 km
Correct answer: 5 km
3/4 × 20 = 15 km done, so 20 − 15 = 5 km remain.
Question 3: What is 15% of 240?
- 30
- 34
- 36 (Correct answer)
- 40
Correct answer: 36
15% × 240 = 0.15 × 240 = 36.
Question 4: A recruiter needs to fill 48 positions across 6 equal units. How many recruits does each unit receive?
- 6
- 7
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 8
48 ÷ 6 = 8 recruits per unit.
Question 5: If a clock shows 3:45 PM, what time will it be in 2 hours and 35 minutes?
- 5:50 PM
- 6:15 PM
- 6:20 PM (Correct answer)
- 6:25 PM
Correct answer: 6:20 PM
3:45 + 2:35 = 6:20 PM.
Question 6: A base has 5 rows of barracks with 12 bunks each. 3 bunks in each row are empty. How many bunks are occupied?
- 42
- 45 (Correct answer)
- 48
- 51
Correct answer: 45
Total bunks = 5 × 12 = 60; empty = 5 × 3 = 15; occupied = 60 − 15 = 45.
Question 7: What is the value of 7² − 4²?
- 27
- 30
- 33 (Correct answer)
- 36
Correct answer: 33
7² = 49, 4² = 16; 49 − 16 = 33.
