Question 2: If you rearrange the letters 'NPEICL', what common object do you get?
- PENCIL (Correct answer)

- 108 cm² (Correct answer)
- 96 cm²
- 144 cm²
- 72 cm²
Correct answer: 108 cm²
2(3w + w) = 48 gives w = 6 and length = 18; area = 6 × 18 = 108 cm².
Question 4: Which best completes the analogy: Thermometer : Temperature :: Barometer : ___?
- Atmospheric pressure (Correct answer)
- Wind speed

- 4 (Correct answer)
- 2
- 6
- 8
Correct answer: 4
Using inclusion-exclusion: 18 + 14 − 6 = 26 play at least one sport; 30 − 26 = 4 play neither.
Question 6: What is the missing number: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ___?
- 37 (Correct answer)
- 35
- 33
- 39
Correct answer: 37
Differences between terms are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 — increasing by 2 each time; 26 + 11 = 37.
Question 7: A clock shows 3:15. What is the angle between the hour and minute hands?
- 7.5° (Correct answer)
- 90°
- 45°
- 22.5°

At 3:15 the minute hand is at 90°; the hour hand has moved 7.5° past 90° (0.5° per minute × 15), so the angle is 7.5°.
