WONDERLIC TEST
1. The eleventh month of the year is:
A. January
B. November
C. October
D. May: The correct answer is (B). The eleventh month of the year is
November.
2. A shop owner bought some shovels for $5,500. The shovels were sold
for
$7,300, with a profit of $50 per a shovel. How many shovels were involved?
A. 18
B. 36
C. 55
D. 73
E. 90
F. None of these: The correct answer is (B). The total profit from the
sale is the selling price minus the cost of purchase, which is $7300-
$5500= $1800.If the total profit is $1800 and each shovel accounts for
,$50 profit, the amount of shovels is 1800/50=36.
3. How many states are there in the U.S.A?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 50
E. 60: The correct answer is (D). The USA has 50 states.
4. There are three times elephants compared to giraffes in the safari. If
there is a total of 88 elephants and giraffes, how many elephants are there
in the safari?
A. 22
B. 31
C. 43
D. 59
E. 66
F.None of these: The correct answer is (E). If there are 3 times as many
elephants as there are giraffes, giraffes can be defined as X, and
elephants as 3X, and build the following equation:
3X + X = 88
,4X =
88 X =
88/4 X
= 22
, As stated above, X stands for the number of giraffes. Thus, there are 22
giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many
elephants as there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many
elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3:
22 * 3 = 66
66 is the number of elephants in the safari.
5. What is the
next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11,
A. 9
B. 13
C. 10
D. 20
E. 15
F.None of these: The correct answer is (D). This series is made up of
two separate subseries that alternate:
1. A series of numbers (the odd terms) that increase by 5 (5, 10, 15).
2. A series of numbers (the even terms) that decrease by 2
