Civil Service Numerical Reasoning Test Time, Speed and Logical Numerical Reasoning 3

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)?

Accepted Answer

23:15

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

72 litres

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

120 miles

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

21

Answer

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)?

Accepted Answer

3 hours 10 minutes

Answer

Total time = 11:20 − 07:55 = 3 hours 25 minutes. Travel time = 3 hours 25 minutes − 15 minutes = 3 hours 10 minutes.
