The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20% is
- A.
40
- B.
42
- C.
44
- D.
46
Correct Answer
C. 44Explanation
When each side of a rectangle is increased by 20%, the new length and width will be 120% of the original length and width. To find the percentage increase in area, we need to calculate the difference between the new area and the original area as a percentage of the original area. The new area is (120% * 120%) = 144% of the original area. Therefore, the percentage increase in area is 144% - 100% = 44%.Rate this question:

In a cage, there are rabbits and parrots and the number of heads are 28 and feet are 72. Find the number of parrots and rabbits.
- A.
20,8
- B.
8,20
- C.
14,14
- D.
12,16
Correct Answer
A. 20,8Explanation
Let's assume the number of rabbits is represented by 'r' and the number of parrots is represented by 'p'. Each rabbit has one head and four feet, while each parrot has one head and two feet. From the given information, we can form two equations: r + p = 28 (equation 1) and 4r + 2p = 72 (equation 2). Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that r = 8 and p = 20. Therefore, there are 8 rabbits and 20 parrots in the cage.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. All FollowsExplanation
The given conclusion "All the fruits are rains" does not follow from the statements because there is no direct or indirect relationship stated between fruits and rains. The conclusion "All the pens are rains" also does not follow because there is no mention of pens being related to rains in the statements. However, the conclusion "Some rains are vegetables" does follow as it can be inferred from the statement "All vegetables are rains". Therefore, only conclusion III follows.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpackExplanation
The situation that the recess aides should report to the principal is when four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack. This situation suggests a potential case of bullying or harassment, as the girl may be feeling threatened or intimidated by the others. By reporting this to the principal, the aides can help bring attention to the situation and ensure that appropriate action is taken to address the bullying issue.Rate this question:

If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 12,then two eights of that number is :
- A.
8
- B.
4
- C.
36
- D.
24
Correct Answer
C. 36Explanation
If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 12, it means that one-fourth of the number is 12 multiplied by 3, which equals 36. Therefore, two eights of that number would be 2 multiplied by 8, which also equals 36.Rate this question:

How many triangles are there?
- A.
17
- B.
18
- C.
19
- D.
20
Correct Answer
D. 20Explanation
To determine the number of triangles, we can count the number of triangles in each row and add them up. In the first row, there are 3 triangles. In the second row, there are 6 triangles. In the third row, there are 9 triangles. And in the fourth row, there are 2 triangles. Adding them up, we get 3 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 20 triangles in total.Rate this question:

Which of these would add up the numbers from A3 to A6 in Microsoft Excel?
- A.
=Sum(A3:A6)
- B.
=Add(A3:A6)
- C.
=Add(A3,A6)
- D.
=(A3+A6)
Correct Answer
A. =Sum(A3:A6)Explanation
The correct answer is "=Sum(A3:A6)". In Microsoft Excel, the "Sum" function is used to add up a range of cells. The formula "=Sum(A3:A6)" specifies that the sum should be calculated from cell A3 to A6. This formula will correctly add up the numbers in the specified range. The other options "=Add(A3:A6)" and "=Add(A3,A6)" are not valid Excel functions, and "(A3+A6)" will only add the values in cells A3 and A6, not the range of cells from A3 to A6.Rate this question:

Mary, who is sixteen years old, is four times as old as her brother. How old will Mary be when she is twice as old as her brother?
- A.
28
- B.
20
- C.
24
- D.
26
Correct Answer
C. 24Explanation
Mary is currently 16 years old and four times as old as her brother. This means her brother is 16/4 = 4 years old. To find out when Mary will be twice as old as her brother, we need to find the age difference between them. Currently, the age difference is 16 - 4 = 12 years. To double this age difference, we need to wait for another 12 years. Therefore, Mary will be 16 + 12 = 28 years old. However, the question asks for Mary's age, not the age difference. Therefore, we subtract the age difference from Mary's future age, which is 28 - 4 = 24. Hence, Mary will be 24 years old when she is twice as old as her brother.Rate this question:

At the end of a banquet 10 people shake hands with each other. How many handshakes will there be in total?
- A.
100
- B.
25
- C.
45
- D.
50
Correct Answer
C. 45Explanation
In this scenario, each person shakes hands with 9 other people, as they cannot shake hands with themselves. Since there are 10 people in total, we can calculate the total number of handshakes by multiplying the number of people by the number of handshakes each person makes (10 x 9 = 90). However, this counts each handshake twice (e.g., person A shaking hands with person B and person B shaking hands with person A). Therefore, we need to divide the total by 2 to get the correct number of handshakes. So, the total number of handshakes will be 45.Rate this question:
