  1. A rectangle has a perimeter of 36 cm and a width of 6 cm. What is its area?

    Answer: 72 sq cm

    Length = (36 − 2×6) ÷ 2 = 12 cm; area = 12 × 6 = 72 sq cm.

  2. Choose the word that best completes the analogy: SURGEON : SCALPEL :: PAINTER : ___

    Answer: Brush

    A surgeon's primary tool is a scalpel; a painter's primary tool is a brush.

  3. Four colleagues share a bonus of $4,800 in the ratio 1:2:3:4. How much does the person with the largest share receive?

    Answer: $1,920

    Total parts = 10; largest share = 4/10 × $4,800 = $1,920.

  4. Which of the following is logically inconsistent? 'All students passed. Maria is a student. Maria failed.'

    Answer: The third statement contradicts the first

    If all students passed and Maria is a student, she must have passed — so the claim that she failed is a direct contradiction.

  5. What number is missing? 81, 64, 49, 36, __, 16

    Answer: 25

  6. A project takes 12 workers 15 days to complete. How many days would 9 workers need for the same project?

    Answer: 20 days

    Total work = 12 × 15 = 180 worker-days; 180 ÷ 9 = 20 days.

  7. Which word does NOT belong with the others: Swift, Rapid, Sluggish, Brisk?
