Civil Service Numerical Reasoning Test Time, Speed and Logical Numerical Reasoning 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A flight departs at 14:30 and the flight time is 8 hours 45 minutes. What is the arrival time (same time zone)?
- 23:15 (Correct answer)
- 22:45
- 23:45
- 22:15
Correct answer: 23:15
14:30 + 8 hours = 22:30. 22:30 + 45 minutes = 23:15.
Question 2: If it takes 6 minutes to fill a tank at a rate of 12 litres per minute, how many litres does the tank hold?
- 72 litres (Correct answer)
- 60 litres
- 84 litres
- 66 litres
Correct answer: 72 litres
Volume = Rate × Time = 12 × 6 = 72 litres.
Question 3: Three people share a driving journey of 360 miles equally. How far does each person drive?
- 120 miles (Correct answer)
- 90 miles
- 180 miles
- 100 miles
Correct answer: 120 miles
360 ÷ 3 = 120 miles each.
Question 4: A factory runs for 16 hours a day. How many full 45-minute production cycles can it run per day?
- 21 (Correct answer)
- 20
- 22
- 18
Correct answer: 21
16 hours = 960 minutes. 960 ÷ 45 = 21.33. So 21 full cycles.
Question 5: A train leaves at 07:55 and arrives at 11:20. The journey includes a 15-minute stop. What is the actual travel time (excluding the stop)?
- 3 hours 10 minutes (Correct answer)
- 3 hours 25 minutes
- 3 hours 15 minutes
- 3 hours 5 minutes
Correct answer: 3 hours 10 minutes
Total time = 11:20 − 07:55 = 3 hours 25 minutes. Travel time = 3 hours 25 minutes − 15 minutes = 3 hours 10 minutes.
Question 6: Two cars start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. Car A travels at 60 mph and Car B at 40 mph. After 2 hours, how far apart are they?
- 200 miles (Correct answer)
- 120 miles
- 160 miles
- 180 miles
Correct answer: 200 miles
Car A travels 60 × 2 = 120 miles. Car B travels 40 × 2 = 80 miles. Total distance = 120 + 80 = 200 miles.
