3. Number Series In each series, look for the degree and direction of change between the numbers. In other words, do the numbers increase or decrease, and by how much Look at this series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4), ... What number should come next? A.  (1/3) B.  (1/8) C.  (2/8) D.  (1/16)

4. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option B Explanation: This is a simple division series; each number is one-half of the previous number. In other terms to say, the number is divided by 2 successively to get the next result. 4/2 = 2 2/2 = 1 1/2 = 1/2 (1/2)/2 = 1/4 (1/4)/2 = 1/8 and so on.

5. Look at this series: 7, 10, 8, 11, 9, 12, ... What number should come next? A.  7 B.  10 C.  12 D.  13

6. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option B Explanation: This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. In the first pattern, 3 is added; in the second, 2 is subtracted.

7. Look at this series: 36, 34, 30, 28, 24, ... What number should come next? A.  20 B.  22 C.  23 D.  26

8. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option B Explanation: This is an alternating number subtraction series. First, 2 is subtracted, then 4, then 2, and so on.

9. Look at this series: 22, 21, 23, 22, 24, 23, ... What number should come next? A.  22 B.  24 C.  25 D.  26

10. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option C Explanation: In this simple alternating subtraction and addition series; 1 is subtracted, then 2 is added, and so on.

11. Look at this series: 53, 53, 40, 40, 27, 27, ... What number should come next? A.  12 B.  14 C.  27 D.  53

12. Answer: Option B Explanation: In this series, each number is repeated, then 13 is subtracted to arrive at the next number.

14. Average A grocer has a sales of Euro 6435, Euro 6927, Euro 6855, Euro 7230 and Euro 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Euro 6500? A.  Euro 4991 B.  Euro 5991 C.  Euro 6001 D.  Euro 6991

15. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option A Explanation: Total sale for 5 months = Euro (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Euro 34009. Required sale = Euro [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ] = Euro (39000 - 34009) = Euro 4991.

16. The average monthly income of P and Q is Dollar 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is Dollar 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Dollar 5200. The monthly income of P is: A.  Dollar 3500 B.  Dollar 4000 C.  Dollar 4050 D.  Dollar 5000

17. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option B Explanation: Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have: P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... ( i ) Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii) P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii) Adding ( i ), (ii) and (iii), we get: 2(P + Q + R) = 33000 or P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv) Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000. P's monthly income = Dollar 4000.

18. The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The present age of the husband is: A.  35 years B.  40 years C.  50 years D.  None of these

19. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option B Explanation: Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years. Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years. Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.

20. A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40% apples and still has 420 apples. Originally, he had: A.  588 apples B.  600 apples C.  672 apples D.  700 apples

21. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option D Explanation: Suppose originally he had x apples. Then, (100 - 40)% of x = 420. 60/100 x x = 420 x = (420 x 100)/60 = 700.

22. A sum of money at simple interest amounts to 815 in 3 years and to 854 in 4 years. The sum is: A.  650 B.  690 C.  698 D.  700

23. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option C Explanation: S.I. for 1 year = (854 - 815) = 39. S.I. for 3 years = (39 x 3) = 117. Principal = (815 - 117) = 698.

24. 93296 - 45874 + 20382 - 56817 = ? A.     10387 B.     10587 C.     10787 D.     10987 Answer & Explanation Answer  : Option  D Explanation  : ? = 113678 - 102691 = 109887

25. Distance, Speed and Time Equation All the calculations in this section will be worked out using the  distance, speed and time equation . An easy way to remember the distance, speed and time equations is to put the letters into a triangle.

26. Speed, Distance and Time A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream. A.  2 hours B.  3 hours C.  4 hours D.  5 hours

27. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option C Explanation: Speed downstream = (13 + 4) km/hr = 17 km/hr. Time taken to travel 68 km downstream = 68/17 hrs = 4 hrs.

28. A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is: A.  8.5 km/hr B.  9 km/hr C.  10 km/hr D.  12.5 km/hr

29. Answer & Explanation: Answer: Option C Explanation: Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr. Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr.
