Correct Answer
C. 13Explanation
The sequence you provided appears to follow an arithmetic pattern. Each number is obtained by adding a certain value to the previous number. Let's find the pattern:
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
It seems like the pattern is to add the next positive integer to the previous number. Following this pattern:
5+8 = 13
So, the next number in the sequence is 13.Rate this question:

ACB CED FHG ?
- A.
IKJ
- B.
IJK
- C.

- D.
KLI
Correct Answer
A. IKJExplanation

523
Correct Answer
B. 234Explanation
The given sequence follows a pattern where each number is formed by taking the digit in the units place of the previous number, followed by the digit in the tens place, and finally the digit in the hundreds place. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be formed by taking the digit 2 from 234, followed by the digit 3 from 342, and finally the digit 4 from 423, resulting in the number 234.Rate this question:

If 5 cats can catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, how many minutes would it take 100 cats to catch 100 mice, assuming the cats catch mice at the same rate?
- A.
1 minute
- B.
5 minutes
- C.
10 minutes
- D.
100 minutes
Correct Answer
B. 5 minutesExplanation
The rate at which the cats catch mice is constant. If 5 cats catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, then 1 cat catches 1 mouse in the same 5 minutes. Therefore, 100 cats will catch 100 mice in 5 minutes, as the rate does not change with the number of cats.Rate this question:

A man walks 5 km toward south and then turns to the right. After walking 3 km he turns to the left and walks 5 km. Now in which direction is he from the starting place?
- A.
North West
- B.
South
- C.
North East
- D.
South West
Correct Answer
D. South WestExplanation
To determine the direction the man is from his starting point, let's break down each segment of his journey:
He starts by walking 5 km south.
He then turns to his right. Since he was originally heading south, turning right would direct him west. He walks 3 km west.
After that, he turns left. From west, turning left would mean he is now heading south again. He walks another 5 km south.
So, he has moved:
5 km south + 5 km south = 10 km south
3 km west
To find the direction from the starting point to where he is now, visualize this as a right triangle where the legs are 10 km (south) and 3 km (west). The direction from the starting point is along the hypotenuse of this triangle, pointing from the origin (starting point) toward the point labeled (3, 10) on a coordinate plane where west and south are the negative axes.Rate this question:

A clock in the hotel reads 4:30. If a minute hand points towards the west, in which direction does the hour hand point?
- A.
East
- B.
South
- C.
North
- D.
Northwest
Correct Answer
B. SouthExplanation
On an analog clock, the minute and hour hands are always opposite each other when the time is half past the hour. Therefore, if the minute hand is pointing west, the hour hand must be pointing in the opposite direction, which is east. However, since the time is 4:30, the hour hand will be pointing halfway between the 4 and the 5, which is in the south direction.Rate this question:

A man "A" walked 30m towards North, took a left turn and walked 40m. He again took a left turn and walked 30m. How far is he from the starting point?
- A.
100 meters
- B.
60 meters
- C.
70 meters
- D.
40 meters
Correct Answer
D. 40 metersExplanation
The man initially walks 30m towards the North. Then, he takes a left turn and walks 40m. After that, he takes another left turn and walks 30m. Since he took two left turns, he essentially made a complete 180-degree turn and is now facing South. The distance from the starting point is the same as the distance he walked towards the South, which is 30m. Therefore, he is 30m away from the starting point.Rate this question:

A man walks 20 m towards South. Then turning to his right he walks 30 m. Then turning to his left he walks 20 m. Again Turning to his left he walks 30 m. How far is he from his starting position?
- A.
30
- B.
80
- C.
20
- D.
40
Correct Answer
D. 40Explanation
Starting Point: He begins at a given starting position.
First Leg: He walks 20 meters towards the South.
Second Leg: Then he turns to his right and walks 30 meters. Since he was originally moving South, turning to his right would point him West.
Third Leg: Then he turns to his left and walks 20 meters. After moving West, a left turn would make him face South again.
Fourth Leg: Finally, he turns to his left and walks 30 meters. Since he was facing South, turning left would direct him East.
At the end of these movements:
He has moved 20 meters South and then 20 meters South again, totaling 40 meters South.
He has moved 30 meters West and then 30 meters East, which cancels out these movements in the East-West direction.
Thus, his net movement is 40 meters directly South from his starting position. Since there's no displacement in the East-West direction, and he only moved South, he is 40 meters away from his starting position.Rate this question:
