Quantitative thinking

20 minus 12 is 8, Yossi is 8. Therefore, the correct answer is b

The students studying chemistry are a sum up of a quarter of the whole class, that is: there are 30 students left that are studying geography. Therefore, the correct answer is E.

If the bus travels at a distance of 20 kilometers in half an hour, then in one hour (twice or half an hour) it will travel a distance of 40 kilometers (twice of 20 kilometers), so its average speed is 40 km/h. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

This can be calculated in the multiplication exercise 2000 = 2500*0.8 Another option for calculation: 10% of 2500 is 250. Therefore, 20% is 500. 2500-500=2000 Therefore, the correct answer is B.

10 out of 10,000 equals 0.001, which equals to 0.1%. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

If 40 cooks make 10 pies in half an hour, then one cook makes a quarter of a pie in half an hour, so it will take him two hours to make one pie. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

You have to calculate the price that if you take 25% off, you get 150. That is, the purchase cost (150) constitutes 75% of the price. Therefore, in order to calculate the additional 25%, you must divide the cost by three and add the value obtained: 50. The result you will receive is the price before the discount: 200. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

will take David 7.5 hours of walking to reach his destination (15 km divided by 2 km). 17:00 (five in the evening) minus 7.5 hours of walking equals 9:30. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 2. It does have the letter W, it has 8 letters which is an even number and is the longest of the remaining possible answers. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 3. The third letter of the word Unknown “k” is found before the letter L in the alphabetical order. Therefore, the correct answer is D

 4. The letter “k” is in the middle between the letters “E” and “Q” in the alphabetical order. If you go two letters back, you reach the letter “I”. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 5. In the word “Girl” the letter “G” is placed 5 places before the letter “L”. Therefore the correct answer is B.

 6. The sum of the odd numbers is 15. The sum of the even numbers is 10. 15 minus 10 equals 5. The word “sound” has 5 letters. Therefore the correct answer is D.

 7. The largest number among the listed numbers is 73095839. The sum of the second digit (3) and the fifth digit (5) is 8. 8 is less than 13 so we are looking for the fastest animal from the list which is Leopard. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Verbal analogies:

The right shape in the pair of shapes is a mirror reflection (placed on the right side) of the left shape. Therefore the correct answer is A.

The shape on the right side is reversed in relation to the left shape and the part of the left shape that was painted black was deleted. Therefore the correct answer is C.

The shape on the right side has grown compared to the shape on the left, and in addition the filling of the inner and outer parts have switched. Therefore the correct answer is B.

The shape turned 45 degrees to the right and kept its color. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The shape on the right has rotated 180 degrees and is inverted compared to the shape on the left. Therefore the correct answer is A.

The shapes on the right have been separated, they become smaller and alternated compared to the shape on the left. Therefore the correct answer is A.

The shapes switched places so that what was at the top of the circle went down to the bottom and what was at the bottom of the circle went up to the top. Therefore the correct answer is C.

The lower shape flipped 180 degrees and connected to the upper shape. Therefore the correct answer is D.

Good luck!
