Solutions
(1) d. There are more red balls than blue balls.

Step 1
It is given that four-fifth balls are red and rest are blue.
Since, four-fifth is greater than half, there are more red balls than blue balls.

Step 2
Now same number of red and blue balls are added.
Therefore, even after adding more balls, there will be more red balls than blue balls.

(2) b. Two days after tomorrow

Step 1
If yesterday was Wednesday, this means today is Thursday.

Step 2
If today is Thursday, this means two days after tomorrow will be Sunday.

(3) a. 10000 ones

Step 1
Let us find the actual values of all the options.

Step 2
Option a: 10000 ones = 10000 × 1 = 10000 ones

Step 3
Option b: 10 hundreds = 10 × 100 = 1000 ones

Step 4
Option c: 100 tens = 100 × 10 = 1000 ones

Step 5
Option d: 1 thousand = 1 × 1000 = 1000 ones

Step 6
We can see that the option a is different from the others.

(4) b. 10

Step 1
Following triangles are there in this figure:

Step 2
We see that there are 10 triangles in this figure.

1
(5) b.
6

Step 1
We can see that there are 24 numbers in the box.

Step 2
Now, lets count number of 1 in the box,
1
6 6 4 27
512 8 6 1
3 6 3
1 2 3
9 2
8 86 3

Total number of 1 in the box = 4

Step 3

4 1
The fraction representing the total number of 1's among the given numbers = =
24 6

(6) 46

Step 1
If you notice the numbers in this series, you will find that the difference between successive
terms is increasing by 2,
6 − 4 = 2
10 − 6 = 4
16 − 10 = 6
24 − 16 = 8
34 − 24 = 10

Step 2
Therefore, the difference between 34 and the next term should be 12.

Step 3
So, next term = 34 + 12 = 46

(7) =7

Step 1
Second relationship states that the value of a diamond is greater than 2, therefore possible
values are,
=3

=4

=5

.... and so on.

Step 2
Third relationship states that the value of a diamond is less than 4, therefore among above
given values only possible value is,
=3

Step 3
First relationship states that sum of the values of a diamond and a heart is 10. Therefore, if
we subtract the value of the diamond from 10, we get the value of the heart.
= 10 −

⇒ = 10 − 3

⇒ =7

(8) David

Step 1
David ran a longer distance than Ryan.
Shorter Longer
Ryan David

Step 2
Ryan ran a longer distance than Robert.
Shorter Longer
Robert Ryan David

Step 3
Hence, David ran the longest distance.

(9) 25

Step 1

The position of Katelyn is 5th from the left, which means there are 4 people standing before
her.

Step 2

Her position is 21st from the right, which means there are 20 people standing behind her.

Step 3
So, the total number of people standing in the row is 4 (left) + 20 (right) + 1 (Katelyn) = 25.

(10) 30 g

Step 1
If we look at the first scale carefully, we notice that the weight of 7 tomatoes is 70 g.
70
The weight of 1 tomato = = 10 g
7
So, the weight of 6 tomatoes = 10 × 6 = 60 g

Step 2
If we look at the second scale carefully, we notice that the weight of one bigger tomato and 6
smaller tomatoes is 90 g.
Since the weight of 6 smaller tomatoes is 60 g, the weight of the bigger tomato = 90 - 60 = 30
g.
