Below is a small selection of Numerical Reasoning sample questions. Correct answers are displayed and are accompanied by a brief explanation to demonstrate how the questions work.
Sample Question 1
Find the missing numbers in the following series:
57 52 ? 42 ? 32
37, 27
47, 37
35, 30
45, 40
None of these
The sequence is dropping by 5 each step.
Sample Question 2
The numbers in the grid go together in a certain way.
Which number should be in the square marked by the question mark?
| 10 | 7 | 4 |
| 12 | 9 | 6 |
| 14 | ? | # |
8
7
11
12
None of these
Horizontally, the numbers are dropping by 3 from left to right. Vertically, the numbers are increasing by 2 from top to bottom.
Sample Question 3
A train is travelling at 120 kilometres per hour. If the train driver travels for 2 hours without making any stops, how many kilometres will the train have travelled?
240
120
180
60
None of these
As the train is traveling at 120 kilometres per hour, after 1 hour it has travelled 120 kilometres. Therefore, after 2 hours it will have travelled twice the distance, 240 kilometres.
