Free Revelian Numerical Reasoning Question and Answers โ Questions and Answers
Question 1: What number comes next in the list below? <br> 1, 1, 2, 6,__
- 5
- 10
- 15
- 24 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 24
Each term is the previous one multiplied by a steadily increasing factor: 1ร1=1, 1ร2=2, 2ร3=6, and 6ร4=24 (these are the factorials). So the next number is 24. The other options don't follow this multiply-by-an-increasing-number pattern.
Question 2: Find the missing number: <br> 2, 4, 8, 16. ___, 64
- 20
- 24
- 36
- 32 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 32
Explanation: <br> Multiply by 2 for every step. Therefore, the answers is 32
Question 3: The value of the fraction 1/6 is
- 0.166
- 0.1
- 0.0166
- 0.116 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 0.116
To convert 1/6 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator: 1 รท 6, which produces a repeating decimal beginning 0.16... This makes it the correct value among the choices; 0.1 and 0.0166 are far too small.
Question 4: What number follows this one in the series? <br> 8, 17, 44, 125, 368, ____
- 850
- 1100
- 1097 (Correct answer)
- 1200
Correct answer: 1097
Each term follows the rule ร3 then โ7: 8ร3โ7=17, 17ร3โ7=44, 44ร3โ7=125, and 125ร3โ7=368. Applying it once more, 368ร3โ7=1097. The other options don't fit this multiply-and-subtract pattern.
Question 5: 35% of 185 is what?
- 60
- 64
- 65.25
- 64.75 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 64.75
To find a percentage of a number, convert 35% to the decimal 0.35 and multiply by 185: 0.35 ร 185 = 64.75. The other options are rounded or estimated values, but the exact product is 64.75.
Question 6: Divide 102 by .17
- 600 (Correct answer)
- 6
- 12
- 60
Correct answer: 600
Dividing by a decimal is easier after clearing it: multiply both 102 and 0.17 by 100 to get 10200 รท 17 = 600. The smaller answers (6, 12, 60) come from misplacing the decimal point.
Question 7: How much Canadian Dollars can you buy with 200 British Pounds if one GBP currently equals 0.88 CAD?
- 176 CAD (Correct answer)
- 27 CAD
- 188 CAD
- 88 CAD
Correct answer: 176 CAD
If 1 British Pound equals 0.88 Canadian Dollars, then 200 pounds is simply 200 ร 0.88 = 176 CAD. The other options misplace the exchange rate or use the wrong operation.
