NUMERICAL REASONING

TEST 2
Worked Solutions
Question 1: D

The missing number in the series is 7654


Question 2: C

The most logical answer following from the pattern of numbers in the grid is 35
Question 3: B

Carton 1: 6 × 600 = 3,600 g (3.6 kg)


Carton 2: 12 × 200 = 2,400 g (2.4 kg)
3,600 + 2,400
= !3,000
2
Note the answer is not 3,000
Carton 1: 3,600 - 600 = 3,000
Carton 2: 2,400 + 600 =3,000
1 canned drink, which weighs 600 grams must be taken from the first carton and
added to the other, so both carry equal load i.e. 3 kg (3,000 grams)
Question 4: C

Refer to the completed grid below. The pattern can be found by

R S T U V W
Q 12 12 12 12 12
P 12 P Q R S
O 12 O 10 10 10
N 12 N 10 N O
M 12 M 10 M 8

d = 5440
t =?
544 = 5440/t
t = 10
Therefore the trip to London took 10 hours.
Question 14: C

Simple interest formula:


Simple interest (I) = Principal (P) ×Rate (R) × Time (T)
P = $16,000
R = 9/100
T = 90/360 (Note: September 6 to December 5 equals 90 days)
I = $16,000 × 9/100 × 90/360
= $360.00
On December 5, Alan must pay $16,360(principal: $16,000 + Interest: $360)

Question 15: C

The most logical answer following from the pattern of numbers in each rectangle
is 9
Operations in rectangle 2:
650!–!40 = 610
13−4 = 9
Operations in rectangle 3:
610−30 = 580
9−3 = 6
Operations in rectangle 4:
580−20 = 560
6−2 = 4
Question 16: C

Refer to the completed number grid. The pattern from top to bottom is +13, +12

104 117 128


117 130 141
129 142 153

Question 31: D

The first step is to find out what percentage the remaining workers (85)
constitute:
Let x represent the percentage of workers who are 40 years or older (i.e. 85
workers)
60% < 35 years old
!
!"
= 4% = 35 years old
!
35 years old < !" = 2% < 40 years old
60% + 4% +2% + x = 100%
66% + x = 100%
x = 100% - 66%
x = 34%

The second step is to calculate how many workers (represented by y) constitute


4%
If 85 workers: 34%
Then y workers: 4%
y = 10 workers
Question 32: C

If 25% of the students at Westgate High were given prizes at the schools last
speech and prize giving day for good academic performance, the 180 that got no
prize represent 75% of students at Westgate High. If 180 students represent 75%
of the total number of students, then the total number of students (100%) at the
school must equal 240 given by: (100 × 180)/75 = 240
Question 33: B

Let x = blue candles, then (3/4) x = orange candles.


Remember the word “as” in this context refers to multiplication.
!
!
!x + x = 490
!
!
x = 490
x = (490 ×4)/7
x = 280

Question 34: A

Through trial and error you will find the following pattern: that each number is
divided by 6 to get the next. Therefore 120 ÷ 6 = 20

Calculate total students as 240 using the relation (100×180)/75 = 240, demonstrating that 180 students, equivalent to 75%, reveals the entire student body as 240 .

Letting x be the number of blue candles and using the ratio (3/4)x for orange candles, calculate via (3/4)x + x = 490. Solve for x by x = (490×4)/7, yielding 280 blue candles .

Assess each increment visually, ensuring progressive increases or expected changes like +13 and +12 remain steady. Validate calculations for consistent logical structure or equality standards, confirming each outcome .

To find the percentage of workers over 40, you account for 85 workers known as 34% of the total. First, sum the percentages of younger groups, subtract from 100%, thus determining those over 40 as 34%. Further, relate this percentage to calculations for minors contributing 4% .

The journey time to London is calculated as t = 5440/d, with d being the speed per hour. Given that d equals 5440, the time t is determined as 10 hours .

Identify a pattern by trial and error, revealing each number is divided by 6 to obtain the next. For instance, 120 ÷ 6 = 20 illustrates the repetitive process confirming the pattern .

The total amount Alan must pay is calculated using the simple interest formula: I = Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T). With P = $16,000, R = 9/100, and T = 90/360 days, the interest (I) is $360. Adding this to the principal, the total repayment on December 5 is $16,360 .

To equalize the weight in the two cartons, identify Carton 1's current weight as 3,600 grams (6×600 g) and Carton 2's as 2,400 grams (12×200 g). Transfer one 600 g can from Carton 1 to Carton 2. By subtracting 600 grams from Carton 1 and adding it to Carton 2, both cartons will weigh 3,000 grams each .

The method involves identifying the numerical sequence from the top to the bottom, observing increments of +13 followed by +12. This pattern ensures a consistent logical progression throughout the grid .

Involve operations unique to each rectangle: within rectangle 2, it reduces by subtracting smaller numbers in stages, minus values (e.g., 650-40=610 and 13-4=9); analyze all rectangles consistently for hidden or explicit subtraction patterns leading to outputs .
