Cut-e Test Cut-e Numerical Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A table shows profit margins of 12%, 15%, 18%, and 9% for four products. What is the range of these values?
- 6%
- 7%
- 9% (Correct answer)
- 12%
Correct answer: 9%
Range = highest − lowest = 18% − 9% = 9%.
Question 2: If 3 workers complete a task in 12 days, how many days would 6 workers take to complete the same task?
- 4 days
- 6 days (Correct answer)
- 8 days

Work is inversely proportional to workers: 3 × 12 / 6 = 6 days.
Question 3: Sales grew by 10% in Year 1 and by 20% in Year 2 from an initial $50,000. What are the Year 2 sales?
- $64,000
- $65,000
- $66,000 (Correct answer)
- $60,000
Correct answer: $66,000
Year 1: $50,000 × 1.10 = $55,000; Year 2: $55,000 × 1.20 = $66,000.
Question 4: A ratio of expenses to income is 3:5. If income is $75,000, what are the expenses?
- $40,000
- $45,000 (Correct answer)
