These questions are directly applicable to many administrative and clerical jobs but
can also appear as a component of graduate and managerial tests. The speed at
which you can answer these questions is the critical measure, as most people could
achieve a very high score given unlimited time in which to answer. You can therefore
expect 25-35 questions in 20-30 minutes.
Number Sequences
These questions require you to find the missing number in a sequence of numbers.
This missing number may be at the beginning or middle but is usually at the end.
7. Find the next number in the series
4 8 16 32 –
A) 48 B) 64 C) 40 D) 46
8. Find the next number in the series
4 8 12 20 –
A) 32 B) 34 C) 36 D) 38
9. Find the missing number in the series
54 49 — 39 34
A) 47 B) 44 C) 45 D) 46
10. Find the first number in the series
– 19 23 29 31
A) 12 B) 15 C) 16 D) 17
These number sequences can be quite simple like the examples above. However, you
will often see more complex questions where it is the interval between the numbers
that is the key to the sequence.
11. Find the next number in the series
3 6 11 18 –
A) 30 B) 22 C) 27 D) 29
12. Find the next number in the series
48 46 42 38 –
A) 32 B) 30 C) 33 D) 34
These number sequences usually consist of four visible numbers plus one missing
number. This is because the test designer needs to produce a sequence into which
only one number will fit. The need to avoid any ambiguity means that if the number
48
Sequence relies on a more complex pattern then there will need to be more visible
numbers.
For example;
13. Find the missing number in the series
4 3 5 9 12 17 –
A) 32 B) 30 C) 24 D) 26
14. Find the missing numbers in the series
5 6 7 8 10 11 14 — –
A) 19 B) 17 C) 15 D) 16
15. Find the missing numbers in the series
1 — 4 7 7 8 10 9 –
A) 6 B) 3 C) 11 D) 13
Answers
7. B – The numbers double each time
8. A – Each number is the sum of the previous two numbers
9. B – The numbers decrease by 5 each time
10. D – The numbers are primes (divisible only by 1 and themselves)
11. C – The interval, beginning with 3, increases by 2 each time
12. B – The interval, beginning with 2, increases by 2 and is subtracted each time
13. D – Each number is the sum of the previous and the number 3 places to the left
14. C A – There are 2 simple interleaved sequences 5, 7,10,14,19 and 6, 8, 11, 15
15. A D – There are 2 simple interleaved sequences 1,4,7,10,13 and 6,7,8,9
To solve these number sequence questions efficiently, you should first check the
relationship between the numbers themselves looking for some simple arithmetic
relationship. Then look at the intervals between the numbers and see if there is a
relationship there. If not, and particularly if there are more than 4 numbers visible,
then there may be two number sequences interleaved.
You will occasionally find multiplication, division, or powers used in these sequences,
but test designers tend to avoid them as these operations soon lead to large
Numbers which are difficult to work out without a calculator.
Sample Comprehension Questions
Glaciers begin to form where snow remains year-round and enough of it accumulates to transform into ice. New layers of snow compress the previous layers and this compression forces the icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to cane sugar. Gradually the grains grow larger and the air pockets between the grains get smaller, meaning that the snow slowly becomes denser. After about two winters, the snow turns into fern, an intermediate state between snow and ice. Over time the larger ice crystals become more compressed and even denser, this is known as glacial ice. Glacial ice, because of its density and ice crystals, often takes
a bluish or even green hue.
1) Glaciers cannot form where snow does not remain all year round.
A B C
True False Can’t Say
2) Fern is less dense than snow but more dense than ice.
A B C
True False Can’t Say
3) Glacial ice is always greenish or bluish in color.
A B C
True False Can’t Say
4) Snow falls every year in areas where glaciers form.
A B C
True False Can’t Say
5) The increase in density is caused by the grains becoming smaller.
A B C
True False Can’t Say
