  1. A station logs 36 incidents on Monday and 27 on Tuesday. What is the ratio of Monday to Tuesday incidents?

    Answer: 4:3

    GCD of 36 and 27 is 9. 36/9 = 4, 27/9 = 3. Ratio = 4:3.

  2. If 3 Gardaí can process 18 reports in 2 hours, how many reports can 6 Gardaí process in 2 hours?

    Answer: 36

    3 Gardaí process 18 reports. 6 Gardaí = double the workers = 18 × 2 = 36 reports in the same time.

  3. A vehicle travels at 90 km/h. How long does it take to travel 45 km?

    Answer: 30 minutes

    Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 45 ÷ 90 = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.

  4. Out of 500 applicants, 60% pass the written test. How many applicants pass?

    Answer: 300

    60% of 500 = 0.60 × 500 = 300 applicants pass.

  5. A Garda earns €2,400 per month. After paying 20% tax, what is the take-home pay?

    Answer: €1,920

    Tax = 20% of €2,400 = €480. Take-home = €2,400 − €480 = €1,920.

  6. If incidents decreased from 250 to 200 over a quarter, what is the percentage decrease?

    Answer: 20%

    Decrease = 250 − 200 = 50. Percentage decrease = (50 ÷ 250) × 100 = 20%.
