A. 52
B. 56
C. 96

Answer: B. 56.

That is,
14 X 2 = 28;
28 – 8 = 20;
20 X 2 = 40;
40 – 8 = 32;
32 X 2 = 64;
64 – 8 = 56.

Question 2.
Which word does NOT belong with the others?
A. Unimportant
B. Trivial
C. Insignificant
D. Familiar

Answer: D. Familiar
Explanation: Options A, B and C are synonyms. Therefore, option D does not belong to the group simply because its meaning is different from that of the other options.

For example, in A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, letters E N Q W F are two letters to right of the letters C L O U D respectively.

Question 4.
In a game of whist, GEORGE partnered MARY, while TED had to select a partner from ANN, EDNA, JOAN or ANGELA. Who did he choose?
A. ANN
B. EDNA
C. JOAN
D. ANGELA

Answer: A. ANN.
Explanation:
GEORGE and MARY partnered because they have something in common. What they have in common is that the letters in each of them add up to 57.
Let's give each letter a number according to its position in the alphabet.
That is, A=1; B=2; C=3; D= 4; E=5; F=6; G= 7; H= 8; I=9; J= 10; K=11; L=12; M=13; N=14; O= 15; P= 16; Q= 17; R= 18; S= 19; T= 20; U= 21; V=22; W= 23; X=24; Y= 25; Z=26.
Therefore, GEORGE= 7 + 5 + 15 + 18 + 7 + 5 = 57.

Question 5.
When walking, a certain person takes 16 complete steps in 10 seconds. At this rate, how many complete steps does the person take in 72 seconds?
A. 45
B. 78
C. 86
D. 115

Answer: D. 115.
Explanation:
If 16 complete steps were taken in 10 seconds, the number of steps taken in 1 second = 16 ÷ 10 = 1.6.
Therefore, the number of complete steps that the person will take in 72 seconds = 1.6 × 72 = 115.2 = 115.

Question 6.

A. 2,000 Naira.
B. 1,700 Naira.
C. 2,200 Naira.
D. 3,200 Naira.

Answer: D. 3,200 Naira.
Explanation:
1 dozen = 12. Therefore, 2 dozens of apple = 12 X 2 = 24 apples.

Thank you. We are sure you found it helpful.
Yes, thanks.
I sat for the Federal Government Scholarship aptitude test last month (February). Although, most of the questions were not really difficult, it's just that the time was insufficient for me. I later realized that I spent much time thinking about how to answer some of the questions, especially those that require calculations. I will just have to practise more, and I believe I will be faster in answering questions in subsequent scholarship exams.
