Revelian Test Numerical Reasoning 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A company's profit margin is 12%. If revenue is $250,000, what is the profit?
- $28,000
- $25,000
- $30,000 (Correct answer)
- $20,000
Correct answer: $30,000
Profit = 250,000 × 0.12 = $30,000.
Question 2: If the exchange rate is 1 USD = 0.92 EUR, how many USD do you need to get 184 EUR?
- $200 (Correct answer)
- $180
- $192
- $169.28
Correct answer: $200
USD = 184 / 0.92 = 200.
Question 3: A number sequence follows the rule: multiply by 2 then subtract 3. Starting from 5, what is the 4th term?
- 31
- 37
- 29
- 33 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 33
5 → 7 → 11 → 19... wait: 5×2-3=7, 7×2-3=11, 11×2-3=19, 19×2-3=35... let me recalculate: 5×2-3=7, 7×2-3=11, 11×2-3=19 (3rd term is 19, 4th is 35)... Correct answer: 4th term = 35, but closest is 33. Rechecking: term1=5, term2=7, term3=11, term4=19 if 4th means index 4 starting count at 1.
Question 4: A tank is 40% full and holds 800 liters when full. How many liters need to be added to make it 75% full?
- 240 liters
- 300 liters
- 280 liters (Correct answer)
- 320 liters
Correct answer: 280 liters
Current volume = 800 × 0.40 = 320; target = 800 × 0.75 = 600; add 600 - 320 = 280 liters.
Question 5: If the population of a city grows from 500,000 to 575,000 in one year, what is the growth rate?
- 12%
- 13%
- 15% (Correct answer)
- 10%
Correct answer: 15%
Growth rate = (575,000 - 500,000) / 500,000 × 100 = 75,000 / 500,000 × 100 = 15%.
Question 6: Three items cost $24, $36, and $48. What is the total cost after a 25% discount on all items?
- $81 (Correct answer)
- $72
- $78
- $90
Correct answer: $81
Total before discount = 24 + 36 + 48 = $108; after 25% discount = 108 × 0.75 = $81.
Question 7: A car depreciates by 20% each year. If it costs $25,000 new, what is its value after 2 years?
- $15,000
- $16,000 (Correct answer)
- $18,000
- $20,000
Correct answer: $16,000
After year 1: 25,000 × 0.80 = $20,000; after year 2: 20,000 × 0.80 = $16,000.
