TMU Numerical Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A car travels 240 km in 4 hours. What is its average speed?
- 50 km/h
- 55 km/h
- 60 km/h (Correct answer)
- 65 km/h
Correct answer: 60 km/h
Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 km/h.
Question 2: If 2/3 of a number is 18, what is the number?
- 12
- 24
- 27 (Correct answer)
- 36
Correct answer: 27
If (2/3) × n = 18, then n = 18 × (3/2) = 27.
Question 3: A rectangle has a length of 12 cm and a width of 8 cm. What is its area?
- 40 cm²
- 80 cm²
- 96 cm² (Correct answer)
- 120 cm²
Correct answer: 96 cm²
Area = length × width = 12 × 8 = 96 cm².
Question 4: An item costs $45 and the tax rate is 13%. What is the total cost including tax?
- $48.50
- $50.85 (Correct answer)
- $52.20
- $54.00
Correct answer: $50.85
Tax = $45 × 0.13 = $5.85, so the total is $45 + $5.85 = $50.85.
