Question 1

Five friends sit in a row. Ahmad is to the left of Khalid. Omar is between Ahmad and Khalid. Fahad is at the far right. Yusuf is to the left of Ahmad. What is the order from left to right?

Accepted Answer

Yusuf, Ahmad, Omar, Khalid, Fahad

Question 2

Which number should replace the question mark? 4, 9, 16, 25, ?

Accepted Answer

36

Answer

These are perfect squares: 2²=4, 3²=9, 4²=16, 5²=25, 6²=36. The next number is 36. Recognizing square numbers is important for Qudurat pattern questions.

Question 3

In a group of 30 Saudi students, 18 study math, 15 study science, and 5 study both. How many study neither?

Accepted Answer

2

Answer

Using inclusion-exclusion: Students in at least one = 18 + 15 - 5 = 28. Students in neither = 30 - 28 = 2. This is a classic set theory problem.

Question 4

A clock shows 3:15. What is the angle between the hour and minute hands?

Accepted Answer

7.5°

Answer

At 3:15, the minute hand points at 3 (90°). The hour hand has moved past 3 by 15 minutes × 0.5°/min = 7.5°. So it's at 97.5°. The angle between them = 97.5° - 90° = 7.5°.

Question 5

If SAUDI is coded as TBVEJ using a simple letter shift, how would RIYADH be coded?

Accepted Answer

SJZBEI

Answer

S→T (+1), A→B (+1), U→V (+1), D→E (+1), I→J (+1). Each letter shifts forward by 1. Applying to RIYADH: R→S, I→J, Y→Z, A→B, D→E, H→I = SJZBEI.
