In each row there is a triangle with a small square, a square with a small pentagon, and a pentagon with a small hexagon. In the whole series, the smaller shapes are either completely inside the bigger shapes, completely outside them, or cutting across one side o f the bigger shape. The missing figure would be the square with the smaller pentagon cutting its left side. 44 C In order to compare the rates of the filling/emptying of the tub, you must find the lowest common multiple o f the times, which is 60. In 60 minutes, the tub will fill 60 * 15 = 3 times, while it empties 60 * 20 = 2 times. So in 60 minutes it will fill up 3 - 2 = once.

In each row, the number o f dots in the first square multiplied by the number of dots in the second square equals the number o f dots in the third.
52 A If X + Y = 24 and X - Y = 4 Then to work out Y, use the total o f the two numbers to minus the difference o f the two numbers then halve it. Y = ( 2 4 - 4 ) ^ 2 = 10 So, if Y - Z = 6 then 10 - Z = 6 Therefore Z = 4 53 A If the perimeter o f the rectangle is 128cm, then the 1 (length) + w (width) would be 64cm, Since the width is a third the length, we can say the length would be triple the width. So, 3w + w = 6 4 then 4w - 64 Therefore width = 16cm 54 C The number in the top square is double the sum of the numbers below it. 2 (3 + 7 + 5 + 5 ) = 40 55 D A condiment is something used to give flavour to food, such as sauce, seasoning and flavouring. Conditioner is a liquid or cream that is applied to hair. 56 A Let’s say L = the number of cards Luke has, J = the number of cards Jade has and G = the number of cards Guy has. L = J + 6, soJ = L - 6 L = G + 4, soG = L - 4 We know that together they have 146 cards, so L + J + G = 146 We now replace J and G, soL + L - 6 + L - 4 = 146 Move the numbers to the right side and group the Us, so 3L = 146 + 10 (Remember to change the sign infront o f the number when you move it to the other side) 3L = 156, so L = 52 Therefore J = 52 - 6 = 46 57 C The word is mediocre, which means average. 58 0
Since Lan set his watch to the correct time at 12am, 16 hours and 48 minutes has passed on his watch.
Since his watch loses 4 minutes every hour, we can say his watch only goes 56 minutes in 1 hour. 16 hours and 48 minutes = 1008 minutes. We then divide 1008 minutes by 56 to see how many hours had gone by in real time. 1008 * 56 = 18 hours. So in real time 18 hours had passed, which means the time is really 6:00pm. 59 A Let’s say H = the length of the head, T = the length of the tail and B = the length of the body. H = 8cm T = H + (1/2)B B=H+T Since we know H = 8, we can replace H with 8 So, B = 8 + T Since we know T = 8 + (1/2)B, we can replace T with 8 + (1/2)B So, B = 8 + 8 + (1/2)B Move the (1/2)B to the left side, so B - (1/2)B = 16 (Remember to change the sign infront o f the letter when you move it to the other side) Then (1/2)B = 16, so B = 32 So T = 8 + (1/2) x 32 = 24 So the fish would be 8 4- 32 + 24 = 64cm

Longevity and extension are synonyms of protraction. 39 D A is the 1st letter of the alphabet. 1 x 3 = 3, which is C. C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet. 3 + 3 = 6, which is F. The first letter times three equals the second letter. The second letter plus three equals the third letter. The pattern then repeats. F = 6, 6 x 3 - 1 8 , which is R.
40 D
!) turn 90“ clockwise
- >K>
0
Turn the left shape clockwise by 90°. Then switch the positions of the top and bottom shapes in the square.
41 D Covenant is a pact or agreement, which is most similar in meaning to treaty. 42 D
-X (* 2 - 2 )
9 x 2 -2 = 16,6x2-2=10 The process X means to times two then minus two. Since we have the 10 on one side, the other side is either 2 x 1 0 - 2 = 1 8 , or (10 + 2) * 2 = 6 Since 6 isn’t in the answer, then it must be 18.
43 D Desk is part o f a classroom, which a witness is part o f a trial. 44 A Elude, evade and eschew all mean to avoid and dodge. Eclipse means shroud or veil. 45 B
E i-ig i-E i common shapes are kept
Starting from the bottom row, the parts that are identical with each adjacent shape are kept and stays in the shape in the row above. The parts that are not identical are eliminated. So the only part that stays is the black triangle on the right part of the shape.
46 B 7 9 - 9 + 1 (don’t forget the 9 Kai start with) = 71. From 9 to 79, Kai would have to say 71 numbers. If he takes 1 second per number, then it would take him 71 seconds to finish. 47 C A kitten is described as cute, while a tsunami (a tidal wave) is described as devastating. 48 A The two numbers in each group all add to 74. 7 4 - 2 2 = 52 49 D Since Wei has more money than Tracy who has $30, then Wei must have more than $30. 50 D Plod, grind and toil all mean to work hard.

Hallowed means holy, which is most similar in meaning to sacred. 55 C If there were 5682 people altogether, and the difference between the men and women was 1238, then use the total to subtract the difference, then divide it by two to work out the number of women. Number of women: (5682 - 1238) * 2 = 2222 To work out the number of men, just add the difference to the number of women. Number of men: 2222+ 1238 = 3460
59 A On the first day, the order of the cars would be: Subaru, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz. On the second day, the order is: Ferrari, BMW, Subaru, Mercedes Benz. On the third day, the order is: Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Subaru, BMW. On the fourth day, the order is: Ferrari, Subaru, Mercedes Benz, BMW. So the car which is second from the left is the Subaru. 60 B Carefully count the triangles. Place numbers on each triangle to make it easier.
56 C The sun is described as radiant, while an award is described as prestigious. 57 C

1,2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7 ,8 ,9 , 10. Double Triangles: 2+3, 3+6, 5+8,4+10, 8+9.

The circle is moving anticlockwise through the comers of the square, alternating in colour from black to white. The triangle is also moving anticlockwise through the comers of the square, alternating in colour from white to black. The star is turning anticlockwise by 90°. With every second shape the square containing the star has two lines.
58 B If each green poster has a blue one on either side of it, then the number of blue posters is just the number of green posters plus one. Number of blue posters: 13 + 1 - 1 4
Triple Triangles: 1+2+3, 4+5+10, 2+5+8, 3+6+7, 8+9+7. Large Triangle: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10. Total: 10 + 5 + 5 + 1 =21
