Are You Ready To Become A Police Officer?

This question is asking to identify who is the tallest between Marina and Sachiko. The correct answer is "the tallest," which implies that there are more than two people being compared and the person referred to as "the tallest" is the one with the greatest height among all the individuals being considered.

The statement "Rachael has brown hair." directly states that Rachael has brown hair. The statement "Kelly’s hair is the same colour as Rachael’s." implies that Kelly's hair is also brown because it is stated that Kelly's hair is the same color as Rachael's. Therefore, both statements together prove that Kelly has brown hair.

The words vigilant, precise, meticulous, particular all suggest a careful and thorough approach to something. They all imply attention to detail and a focus on accuracy. The word hasty, however, means to do something quickly and without much thought or consideration. It is the opposite of the other words and does not fit with the overall theme of the group.

The dot is on the outside in 'f'. In all the other pictures it is on the inside.

The red bar is rotating 45 degrees anti clockwise each time and the black line is rotating 45 degrees clockwise each time.

When adding "est" to the word "wet," you need to double the last letter before adding the suffix. In this case, the last letter of "wet" is "t," so you double it to get "wett" and then add "est" to form "wettest."

The line of black squares alternate top to bottom with one more black square added to the line each time.

The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

Thumb: a
Pointer Finger: b
Middle Finger c
Third finger: d
Pinky finger: e

This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.

Kimi is the only person mentioned who only has one car.

There is one more BLUE square in each progression. There remains the same number of black squares.

Every second picture is vertical arrows pointing up. First one, then two and now three.

There are only a few facts you need to determine who has the red door. You can quickly eliminate incorrect answers like this:

Portos: Has has a neighbour with a red door (so his must have the blue or green door)
Aramis: Portos and Aramis are not neighbours (and Portos is neighbours with the red door)

Therefore it can only be Athos with the red door. The other facts listed can confirm this but are not necessary. This is why it is always good to quickly read the actual question (in the case about the door) before reading the full text. That way you know what you are looking for.

All the others are types of behaviour

It is not possible to see if anyone actually ran under the qualifying time. It is clear that Jensen's best time is not good enough to qualify.

MISD is the word that does not appear in the following sentences.

The orientation of each set of lines changes 90 degrees each step and one set gains a line and the other loses a line.

That is, the original lines are horizontal. They rotate 90 degrees and lose a line. This continues.

The second set (which appear in the second box) start horizontal and then rotate 90 degrees and gain a line.

One less dot each time. However the remaining dots do not move. So in the fourth progression we see a dot at the top and bottom. So we are looking for an answer with one dot remaining which will be at the top or bottom. There is only one choice.

A synonym is a word that means the same thing.

The two statements "Sandy sings in a band" and "Sandy's band plays country songs" together prove that Sandy is a country music singer. The first statement establishes that Sandy is involved in singing in a band, and the second statement specifies that the band plays country songs. Therefore, it can be inferred that Sandy is a country music singer.

The sentence starts with the connector "SINCE" and the blank is after the comma. This means you need a subject, verb or both. Options "A" and "C" are eliminated because they also have connectors. Options "B" is eliminated because it has no subject. Leaving option "D" as the correct option.

So Josh has 8 rubber bands after he gives 3 away. (11 - 3 = 8)

Now Sunita has twice what Josh has left (8 x 2) = 16.

So Sunita had 3 less before Josh gave her 3 rubber bands. So the answer is 16 - 3 = 13.

A synonym is a word that means the same thing.

You can solve this by rough estimation given you have multiple choice here. You can quickly see that each of the first 3 answers satisfy the condition that the father is currently 5 times the age of the son.

By subtracting 4 years from each age in each answer you will see them as follows:
a: 26 and 2
b: 21 and 1
c: 36 and 4

Now it is clear that the answer is c: 40 and 8 (because 4 x 9 = 36 and 5 x 8 = 40). These questions are why it is important to learn your multiplication tables prior to testing.

Work this backwards if it helps. So 25% of 20 = 5 (another way to do this is 20 / 4 = 5).

Then 20% of 5 = 1 (another way to do this is 5 / 5 = 1)

This question requires basic multiplication and division skills. It is numerical reasoning really.
Running:
3km at 4km per hour = 3 / 4 = 0.75 so 60 minutes x 0.75 = 45 minutes

Tractor:
5km at 6km per hour = 5/6 which you can see equals 50 / 60 minutes so that = 50 minutes

Car:
14km at 18km per hour:
This one is bigger numbers but the same principle. We know that the nearest even numbers are 15 / 20 which would equal 0.75 (the same time as running). However, the numerator (14 is a smaller drop than the denominator (18) so the answer is going to slightly higher. So you can estimate the car will take more time than running.
(The exact answer shows us our estimation is correct: 14/18 = 0.77 and 0.77 x 60 minutes = 46 minutes)

So the answer is therefore 'running' as it is the shortest time.

There is an alternating pattern. The first and third boxes show the open square openings at the sides with two single shapes on the inside at top and bottom.

The second and fourth boxes show the open square with openings at the top and bottom with a pair of shapes at each opening.

So it follows that the fifth box will follow the pattern of the first and third box. So we are looking for the open square (with openings on the sides) with two matching shapes at top and bottom. The correct answer is the only option that matches.

Further below is a short discussion on the mathematical facts of this solution - but you don't need that. This type of question will be multiple choice in police exams. So you only need to be able to estimate. One easy reference is that there is about a 10 minute difference in these walking speeds over an hour. So this roughly equates to the difference in their arrival time (12 minutes apart). So you know the distance is about 5 or 6 km. Only one solution is close to this.

There is a mathematical way to work out this solution - which is basically to understand there is a 12 minute difference in the timing. Therefore the deficit is appropriate to a 6km distance (an additional 12 minutes at 5km per hour)

A blank picture follows the bigger circle.

This question tests your vocabulary of basic words. If you have a strong vocabulary the answer will just jump out at you! Otherwise you simply try each of the four options. Be aware that this is a very easy question as the answer is one of four options. Sometime the letter options will not be provided!

There is one more coloured shape added each progression. They alternate on top and then below. On top and then below. So because the fourth progression added a shape underneath, the answer will show a shap added on top. There is only one choice.

When adding "est" to the word "fat," you need to double the last letter before adding the suffix. Therefore, the correct spelling is "fattest."

Four shapes are paired with two shapes. And the shapes are different.

A polyglot speaks more than one language.

You are looking for arabic speakers initially (Hilary and Hannah)

Hannah speaks Albanian and Spanish and so it is only Hilary that speaks only Arabic and Spanish.

The correct spelling to complete the sentence is "shepherd." A shepherd is someone who takes care of sheep and goats and guides them to graze on the mountains.

The red triangle is rotating around the spaces in an anti-clockwise direction. The blue triangle is going the other direction. If you didn't get this right, you may have been confused by the first change in which they cross paths!

The only option that makes sense here is that the reduction in prices would increase profits by increasing sales. The increase in sales would have to be enough to justify the discounts. So accordingly it would follow that, if true, Australians would buy more tickets have been conscious of the cheaper prices.

There is one additional line to each shape for each progression. First 2, then 3, then 4, then 5. The answer is the shape with six lines.

The green dots are disappearing two at a time. All the other coloured shapes are disappearing one at a time. So there are none left by the fifth progression.

The correct answer is "sends". In this sentence, "Mr. Hawkins requests" indicates that someone is being asked to perform an action. The verb "sends" agrees with the subject "someone" and is in the present tense, indicating that the action should be done immediately.

The logic follows:

Dannii leaves at 2:35 (20 minutes after Cheryl) and arrives 50 minutes later (at 3:25)

Simon's journey takes 75 minutes (50 minutes plus 25 minutes because 50% of 50 = 25)

Simon arrived at 4:15 (75 minutes after he left at 3:00).

Understanding your basic addition and division will help in this type of question.

This is worked out backwards like this:

48 - 6 = 42 (Didier's age now)

42 / 3 = 14 (Wayne's age)

14 / 2 = 7 (Fernando's age)

Horace speaks more than one language but not Arabic. According to the information given, Hanif and Horace speak Chinese, and Horace and Hannah speak Albanian. Since Horace speaks both Chinese and Albanian, he speaks more than one language but not Arabic.

There is a new colour each time and the new colour shape always appears in the top right of the square. In this case the green circle is in the top right.

You must quickly identify the following facts in your head (or on scrap paper)

The puncture repair kit is cheapest.

The cactus is the middle priced (costing twice the puncture repair kit)

The stuffed kangaroo is the most expensive (costing twice the cactus)

As you are given options here, if you can't quickly do the algebra to solve this you can always start with the middle number.

In this case lets use 18 which is a middle sample of the possible options. This would make the puncture kit $9, the cactus $18 and the kangaroo $36. So 9 + 18 + 36 = 63. This is over our required answer of $56 but only by a bit, so at this point the answer 16 is a good guess. We can confirm this below:

8 + 16 + 32 = 56

An additional 1/8 (or triangle) is added to the blue shading each progression as well as the shape rotating clockwise 90 degrees each progression.

A quick way to visualise this as if you are looking down at the garden from a "bird's eye view".



Now first imagine two vertical columns of fourteen RED dots (the posts). Now imagine two horizontal lines of GREEN dots completing the square at the top and bottom.



If there are fourteen RED dots in the two vertical columns, then the horizontal lines of GREEN dots are one less and at each end (because the corner posts are shared). Therefore there are only 12 GREEN dots in each horizontal row completing the square.



So the maths becomes 14 + 14 (the two vertical columns) + 12 + 12 (the two horizontal rows). This equals 52.

This is the only picture where one of the symbols is touching the 'T' shape.

The key part of the evidence is that the "taxation regime" will expand "the base" of cigarette consumers by "reducing taxes". This expansion is another way of saying that there will be more consumers if taxes are lower. Lower taxes would mean lower prices. It therefore follows that more people will consume cigarettes because of the statement that lower taxes will expand the base.

Look at the solid black circle. There is one more of these in each progression.

When adding "est" to the word "thin," you need to double the last letter before adding the suffix. In this case, the last letter in "thin" is "n," so you double it to "nn" and add "est" to form the correct spelling, which is "thinnest."

Aircraft is a type of transport as newspaper is a type of media.

The distances are not relevant to the question. So track the direction through each stage. You can do this in your head or use your hand like a compass face and follow each stage like this:

Start: West
Turn 90 degrees clockwise. Now you are facing North.
Turn 45 degrees anti-clockwise. Now you are facing North West.
Turn around 180 degrees. Now you are facing South East.
Turn 45 degrees clockwise. now you are facing South.

This is one of the few questions that translates well to actual police work because you must know your cardinal points, north south east west in order to navigate, give directions and follow directions. In an emergency this knowledge can save lives.

This can be worked out backwards like this:

4 x 11 = 44 (four times eleven)

44 x 3 = 132 (this number 44 is one third of... 132)

132 / 2 = 66 (The required response is half of 132)

You can calculate the hourly rate of each bricklayer like this:

5 bricklayers laying 50 bricks in 30 minutes means 1 bricklayer will lay 10 bricks in 30 minutes. So 1 bricklayer will lay 20 bricks in 60 minutes (1 hour)

Now we can see that to lay 60 bricks in 20 minutes we need a rate of bricklaying of 180 bricks per hour. (because 20 x 3 = 60 minutes so 60 x 3 = 180 bricks in 60 minutes)

So the number of bricklayers to lay at this pace is 180 bricks in an hour divided by the rate of one bricklayer (20 bricks per hour) So this is 180 / 20 which is 9. So the answer is 9 bricklayers.

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.

Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

5x = 20

x = 4.

Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

To make the ratio 17:24 equal to 1:2, we need to find the difference between the two ratios. The difference between the first terms of the ratios is 17 - 1 = 16, and the difference between the second terms is 24 - 2 = 22. To make these differences equal, we need to subtract the same number from both terms of the ratio 17:24. Therefore, 10 should be subtracted from each term of the ratio to make it equal to 1:2.

The first two letters are the same so you order them alphabetically using the third letter.

There are an additional 4 lines each progression. The actual shapes don't matter in this case. Just count the lines. the quickest way to do this is to understand how many lines are in each shape. The fourth picture, for example shows two octogons and a triangle. So it is 8 + 8 + 3 = 19. Now in the answers you are looking for an extra 4 lines. So 19 + 4 = 23.

Now 'C' stands out as it has 5 complete squares (5 x 4 = 20) and one open square (3 lines). So 20 + 3 = 23.

You might count the lines individually as you look for the pattern but once you suspect the pattern look to speed up your calculations by using your knowledge of shapes.

When the tank is 4/5 full, it can run for 12 hours. This means that each fifth of the tank can power the engine for 12 hours. Therefore, when the tank is 1/3 full, it has 2 fifths of fuel remaining. Since each fifth can power the engine for 12 hours, 2 fifths will power it for 2 x 12 = 24 hours.

"...put the book back in its place." would be correct. The apostrophe is used in "it's" when abbreviating "it is". Like in the last sentence which could read "It is Sunday tomorrow..."

The face of the clock is divided into three parts: the first part, the second part, and the third part. The sum of the second and third parts is equal to the total hours in the first part. Since the total hours in the first part is equal to 6 hours, it means that the sum of the second and third parts is also 6 hours. Therefore, the total hours in the bigger part is 6 hours.

If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, it means that B can copy 20 pages in 10 hours. To find out how much time B takes to copy 26 pages, we can set up a proportion. If B can copy 20 pages in 10 hours, then B can copy 1 page in 0.5 hours. Therefore, B would take 13 hours to copy 26 pages.

The fisherman caught a total of 53 fish in a week. Since a good day is defined as catching 9 fish, the fisherman must have had 4 good days. Similarly, since a fair day is defined as catching 7 fish, the fisherman must have had 1 fair day. Finally, since a bad day is defined as catching 5 fish, the fisherman must have had 2 bad days. Therefore, the fisherman had 4 good days, 1 fair day, and 2 bad days in the week.

This is the only possible answer from the given solutions. Read the outcome required first (who must have both morning appointments) and then read the full text. That way you will find the required information as you go.

There are two changes happening. The square type shape with the circle in it is losing a line from the inside square and a line from the outside square each progression. The other thing that is happening is another square with double lines is gaining a line on the inside and outside each progression.

So by the fifth progression (the answer) the squares around the circle have gone completely and the new double line squares are not complete.

There is no pattern regarding the location of the shapes. This is why the circle can be INSIDE the new square at the end.

This is the only possible answer from the given solutions. Read the outcome required first (who must have both afternoon appointments) and then read the full text. That way you will find the required information as you go.

Note that Mr Hilstart also must have afternoon appointments but the answer with his name is paired with Ms. Banger who must have mornings.

The correct answer is the best SUPPORTING EVIDENCE as it shows new evidence about LOW biodiversity, regardless of poverty levels, is matched with HIGH education. This supports the other half of the already stated summary about HIGH biodiversity matching POOR education regardless of poverty levels.

If the vehicle travels 12 miles with a 4/5 full tank, it means that each 1/5 of the tank allows the vehicle to travel 3 miles. Therefore, with a 1/3 full tank (which is equivalent to 2/6 or 4/12), the vehicle would be able to travel 4/12 of the distance it can travel with a 4/5 full tank. 4/12 of 12 miles is equal to 4 miles.

When the length of a rectangle is increased by 30% and the width is decreased by 20%, the new length becomes 1.3 times the original length and the new width becomes 0.8 times the original width. The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width. Therefore, the new area is 1.3 times 0.8, which equals 1.04 times the original area. This means that the area is increased by 4%.

The first person exceeded the speed limit by 10 mph, and the second person exceeded it by twice that amount, which is 20 mph. If the second person was traveling at a speed of 35 mph, then the speed limit must be 35 mph - 20 mph = 15 mph.

The face of the clock is divided into three parts: the first part, the second part, and the third part. The total hours in the first part is equal to the sum of the hours in the second and third parts. Therefore, the total hours in the bigger part would be 6 hours.

The salesperson made a mistake by multiplying instead of dividing a number. To find the correct answer, we need to reverse the operation. Since the incorrect answer was 3, we need to divide 3 by 3 to get the correct answer. Therefore, the salesperson should have actually got the answer as 1/3.

Let's assume the number of 1kg packets is x and the number of 2kg packets is y. We can set up the following equations based on the information given: x + y = 150 (since there are 150 packets in total) and x + 2y = 264 (since the total weight of the box is 264kg). Solving these equations simultaneously, we can find that y = 114, which means there are 114 2kg packets in the box.

In the first race, the person lost x amount of money. In the second race, they lost x + 6 amount of money. The total amount lost in the two races is 68, so we can set up the equation x + (x + 6) = 68. Solving this equation, we find that x = 31. Therefore, the person lost 31 rupees in the second race. Since the friend lost 4 more than the person in the second race, the friend lost 31 + 4 = 35 rupees in the second race.

If the word 'each' was not at the start of the question then 'A' would have been correct.

Let's first determine Joe's current age. If Joe will be 24 two years from now, then his current age is 24 - 2 = 22.

Next, let's determine Joe's father's age. If Joe's father will be twice his age 6 years from now, then his father's age 6 years from now will be 22 * 2 = 44. Therefore, Joe's father's current age is 44 - 6 = 38.

Now, let's determine Joe's mother's age. If Joe's mother was twice his age 2 years before, then her age 2 years before was 22 * 2 = 44. Therefore, Joe's mother's current age is 44 + 2 = 46.

The difference between Joe's father's and mother's age is 46 - 38 = 8.

The bus travels at a speed of 18 mph to the destination, which is 27 miles away. Therefore, it takes 27/18 = 1.5 hours to reach the destination. After staying for 30 minutes, the bus starts its return journey. During the return journey, the bus travels with 50% faster speed, which is 18 + (18 * 0.5) = 27 mph. The distance from the destination to the bus stand is also 27 miles. Therefore, it takes 27/27 = 1 hour to return to the bus stand. Adding the 30 minutes stay and 1 hour return journey, the total time is 1.5 + 0.5 + 1 = 3 hours. The bus started at 8.00 am, so it will return at 8.00 am + 3 hours = 11.00 am.

The ball falls from a height of 8 meters and each time it bounces, it travels half the distance back. So, the ball will travel 8 meters when it falls, then it will bounce back 4 meters, then it will travel 4 meters again when it falls, and so on. This pattern continues until the ball reaches the ground. Therefore, the total distance traveled by the ball will be the sum of all the distances it travels when it falls and bounces back. Since the distances traveled when it falls and bounces back are always the same (8 meters and 4 meters), the total distance traveled will be a multiple of 8 meters. The given options of 24 meters, 24 mts, and 24 are all multiples of 8, so any of them could be the correct answer.

If A exceeded the speed limit by 10 km/hr, and B was fined for exceeding the speed limit by twice the amount, then B exceeded the speed limit by 20 km/hr. Since B was fined for over speeding at 35 km/hr, the speed limit for the road must be 35 km/hr - 20 km/hr = 15 km/hr.
