ExxonMobil Test ExxonMobil Numerical Reasoning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A refinery processes 45,000 barrels of crude oil per day. If production increases by 12%, how many barrels will be processed daily?
- 48,400
- 50,400 (Correct answer)
- 49,800
- 51,200
Correct answer: 50,400
45,000 × 1.12 = 50,400 barrels per day.
Question 2: An ExxonMobil pipeline transports oil at 3,200 gallons per minute. How many gallons are transported in 2.5 hours?
- 480,000 (Correct answer)
- 440,000
- 460,000
- 498,000
Correct answer: 480,000
3,200 × 60 × 2.5 = 480,000 gallons.
Question 3: If a worker completes 3/8 of a maintenance task in 6 hours, how many total hours will the full task take?
- 14 hours
- 16 hours (Correct answer)
- 18 hours
- 20 hours
Correct answer: 16 hours
If 3/8 takes 6 hours, the full task takes 6 ÷ (3/8) = 16 hours.
Question 4: A tank holds 120,000 liters. It is currently 35% full. How many liters are needed to fill it to 80%?
- 52,000
- 54,000 (Correct answer)
- 56,000
- 58,000
Correct answer: 54,000
120,000 × (0.80 − 0.35) = 120,000 × 0.45 = 54,000 liters.
Question 5: ExxonMobil's quarterly revenue was $80 billion. If operating costs were 62% of revenue, what was the operating profit?
- $28.6B

Correct answer: $30.4B
Operating profit = 80 × (1 − 0.62) = 80 × 0.38 = $30.4 billion.
Question 6: A maintenance crew of 8 workers takes 15 days to complete a project. How many days would 12 workers take for the same project?
- 8 days
