Question 1

Number pattern: 100, 90, 81, 73, 66, ___

Accepted Answer

60

Answer

The differences decrease: −10, −9, −8, −7, so the next difference is −6, giving 66 − 6 = 60.

Question 2

During overhaul: Wood structure = 30 min monitoring. Brick structure = 20 min monitoring. Steel structure = 10 min monitoring. What principle governs this?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring time decreases as the material's heat retention and re-ignition risk decreases

Answer

Wood retains heat and re-ignition potential longer than brick, which retains more than steel, so monitoring time scales with re-ignition risk.

Question 3

Hose sizes at a scene: 1¾", 2½", 3", 4". Flow rates: 150, 250, 400, 600 gpm. What relationship exists?

Accepted Answer

As hose diameter increases, flow rate capacity increases

Answer

Larger diameter hoses can carry more water per minute, so flow capacity increases with hose size.

Question 4

Shape sequence: Large circle, Small circle, Large square, Small square, Large triangle, ___

Accepted Answer

Small triangle

Answer

The pattern alternates large then small for each shape in order, so after Large triangle comes Small triangle.

Question 5

A crew notes: Engine 1 (20 years old) needs 3 repairs/year. Engine 2 (10 years old) needs 2 repairs/year. Engine 3 (2 years old) needs 0 repairs/year. What can be induced?

Accepted Answer

Older apparatus generally requires more frequent maintenance

Answer

The data consistently shows that older apparatus requires more repairs, suggesting age correlates with maintenance frequency.
