Question 1

Four clerks can process 200 forms in one day. How many forms can 6 clerks process in one day at the same rate?

Accepted Answer

300

Answer

Each clerk processes 200 ÷ 4 = 50 forms/day; 6 clerks × 50 = 300 forms.

Question 2

A decision tree states: If complaint is verified AND filer is a resident, issue a citation. A complaint is verified but the filer is not a resident. What happens?

Accepted Answer

Do not issue a citation

Answer

Both conditions must be met; since the filer is not a resident, the citation cannot be issued.

Question 3

In a letter code, GIVE is written as JLYH (each letter shifts forward 3 positions). Using the same code, what is the code for HELP?

Accepted Answer

KHOS

Answer

Shifting each letter of HELP forward 3 positions: H→K, E→H, L→O, P→S gives KHOS.

Question 4

A supervisor must approve requests from her unit before they go to the director. If the director received a request directly from a unit employee, what likely occurred?

Accepted Answer

The proper procedure was bypassed

Answer

Standard procedure requires supervisor approval first; a direct submission to the director bypasses the required step.

Question 5

If 'employees with 5+ years of service are eligible for senior positions,' and Rivera has 3 years of service, what is true?

Accepted Answer

Rivera is not eligible for a senior position

Answer

Rivera has only 3 years, which is less than the required 5 years, so she is not eligible.
