✍️ Sample PI Questions & Answers
1. Select the word that is most opposite in meaning to TURBULENT:
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?
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:
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?
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?
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:
An author creates a novel just as a composer creates a symphony.
