Question 2: How many unique three-digit numbers can be formed using digits 1, 2, and 3 with no repetition?
- 6 (Correct answer)
- 9

3 choices for the first digit × 2 for the second × 1 for the third = 3! = 6.
Question 3: Which word is most opposite in meaning to 'AMBIGUOUS'?
- Explicit (Correct answer)
- Vague

- 28 (Correct answer)
- 22
- 34
- 16
Correct answer: 28
Term 1=2; Term 2=(2×3)−2=4; Term 3=(4×3)−2=10; Term 4=(10×3)−2=28.
Question 5: Maria is twice as old as Tom. In 5 years, Maria will be 1.5 times Tom's age. How old is Tom now?
- 10 years old
- 5 years old (Correct answer)
- 15 years old

Correct answer: 5 years old
Let Tom = t; then 2t + 5 = 1.5(t + 5) → 0.5t = 2.5 → t = 5.
Question 6: Which shape has the most lines of symmetry: equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon, or regular hexagon?
- Regular hexagon (Correct answer)
