Question 1

The words TEMPORARY and CONTEMPORARY are:

Accepted Answer

Neither the same nor the opposite

Answer

The word 'temporary' refers to something lasting for a limited time, implying impermanence. 'Contemporary,' on the other hand, means existing or occurring at the same time, or belonging to the present period. Despite their similar appearance and sound, their meanings are distinct and unrelated, rather than being synonyms or antonyms.

Question 2

A student can type at a rate of 35 words per minute. In two hours, how many words can he type?

Accepted Answer

4,200

Answer

First, convert the given time from hours to minutes, as the typing rate is provided in words per minute. Two hours is equal to 120 minutes (2 hours * 60 minutes/hour). Then, multiply the typing rate (35 words per minute) by the total number of minutes (120) to find the total number of words typed, which is 4,200 words.

Question 3

FLEETING is TRANSIENT in the

Accepted Answer

PALATABLE is to AGREEABLE

Answer

The relationship between 'fleeting' and 'transient' is one of synonymy, as both words mean lasting for only a short time or being impermanent. To complete the analogy, we need to find an option where the two words are also synonyms. 'Palatable' means pleasant to taste or acceptable, which is a direct synonym for 'agreeable,' meaning pleasant or satisfactory.

Question 4

To make the figure on the left, which THREE options are required?
Only pieces of the same hue can be stacked on top of each other.

Accepted Answer

B

Answer

The target figure is composed of three distinct shapes and colors: a yellow square at the bottom, a red circle in the middle, and a blue triangle on top. Options B (yellow square), C (red circle), and E (blue triangle) are the exact pieces needed to construct this figure. The rule about stacking pieces of the same hue is either a distractor or refers to an internal consistency within a single piece, not between stacked pieces of the final figure.

Question 5

In the following series of numbers, what is the next number?
0.5 2 8 32

Accepted Answer

128

Answer

This is a numerical series where each subsequent number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 4. Starting with 0.5, multiplying by 4 gives 2, then 2 multiplied by 4 gives 8, and 8 multiplied by 4 gives 32. Therefore, to find the next number, 32 must be multiplied by 4, resulting in 128.
