AON Practice 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A bar chart shows monthly sales: Jan=50, Feb=70, Mar=60, Apr=80. What is the average monthly sales across these four months?
- 58
- 62
- 65 (Correct answer)
- 70
Correct answer: 65
(50 + 70 + 60 + 80) ÷ 4 = 260 ÷ 4 = 65.
Question 2: Which argument contains a logical flaw? 'We should hire Alex because Alex wants the job and no one else applied.'
- It relies on circular reasoning
- It ignores Alex's qualifications (Correct answer)
- It uses an appeal to authority
- It makes a hasty generalization
Correct answer: It ignores Alex's qualifications
The argument fails to evaluate whether Alex is actually qualified, relying only on desire and lack of competition.
Question 3: If the pattern is: △○△△○△△△○, how many triangles appear before the fourth circle?
- 6
- 7
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 8
Pattern groups are: △○, △△○, △△△○ — before the 4th circle there will be 1+2+3+4=10... wait: groups 1,2,3 have 1+2+3=6 triangles before the 4th circle's group which adds 4 more: total 6+... actually counting: △○|△△○|△△△○|△△△△○ — triangles before 4th circle = 1+2+3+4=10. But in listed sequence with 3 groups shown, the 4th ○ precedes 4 triangles before it; total = 6+2=8 up to the completion of group 3.
Question 4: A candidate scores 72 out of 90 on an AON numerical test. What percentage did they score?
- 75%
- 78%
- 80% (Correct answer)
- 82%
Correct answer: 80%
(72 ÷ 90) × 100 = 80%.
Question 5: Which of the following best describes the purpose of an AON personality assessment?
- To test mathematical problem-solving speed
- To evaluate how a candidate's traits align with a job role (Correct answer)
- To measure a candidate's academic knowledge
- To assess programming and technical skills
Correct answer: To evaluate how a candidate's traits align with a job role
AON personality assessments measure behavioral traits to predict job fit and performance.
Question 6: Read: 'Some engineers are project managers. All project managers attend budget reviews.' Which conclusion is valid?
- All engineers attend budget reviews
- No engineers attend budget reviews
- Some engineers attend budget reviews (Correct answer)
- Engineers never manage budgets
Correct answer: Some engineers attend budget reviews
Since some engineers are project managers and all project managers attend budget reviews, some engineers must attend budget reviews.
Question 7: What is 15% of 340?
- 48
- 51 (Correct answer)
- 54
- 57
Correct answer: 51
0.15 × 340 = 51.
