✍️ Sample PI Questions & Answers

1. Select the word that is most opposite in meaning to TURBULENT:
Tranquil

TURBULENT means characterized by conflict, disorder, or wild movement. TRANQUIL means free from disturbance or agitation — the clear opposite. Chaotic, stormy, and restless all reinforce the meaning of turbulent.

2. A car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour. A truck leaves the same point 30 minutes later, traveling at 70 miles per hour. How long will it take for the truck to catch up to the car?
3 hours

In the first 30 minutes (0.5 hours), the car travels 60 mph * 0.5 hours = 30 miles. The truck is faster by 70 mph - 60 mph = 10 mph. To catch up the 30-mile head start, the truck needs 30 miles / 10 mph = 3 hours.

3. Select the word that is most opposite in meaning to OSTENTATIOUS:
Modest

Ostentatious means designed to impress or attract notice through extravagant display. Modest means unassuming and not boastful — the direct opposite.

4. Which word is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to DILIGENT?
Lazy

Diligent means showing steady and careful effort; lazy means unwilling to work.

5. A 180-foot drainage pipe is laid by 6 men over the course of 3 days. What number of employees are required to install the same pipe in half a day?
36

First, calculate the total 'man-days' required to lay the pipe: 6 men * 3 days = 18 man-days. This means 18 man-days of work are needed for the 180-foot pipe. If the same pipe needs to be installed in half a day (0.5 days), divide the total man-days required by the new time frame: 18 man-days / 0.5 days = 36 men. Therefore, 36 employees are required.

6. AUTHOR is to NOVEL as COMPOSER is to:
Symphony

An author creates a novel just as a composer creates a symphony.
