Explanation

• Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, where summer begins around December.
• During December, the Southern Hemisphere tilts towards the Sun because of Earth’s axial tilt of approximately 23.5°.

Additional information:

• Australia’s summer generally lasts from December to February, while winter lasts from June to August.

Explanation

• A planet must orbit the Sun, have enough gravity to become nearly round, and clear most other objects from its orbital neighbourhood.
• In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.

Additional information:

• The eight recognized planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Explanation

FAG -> GAF = 1st and 3rd letter swapped.

HAI -> IAH = 1st and 3rd letter swapped.

So:

Pair 1: F A G , G A F (F and G)

Pair 2: H A I , I A H (H and I)

Pair 3: J A K*, K A J (J and K)

Next term after IAH is JAK.

Multiply by 3 each time.

1/9 x 3 = 1/3

1/3 x 3 = 1

1 x 3 = 3

3 x 3 = 9

Answer = 3

SISTER = 535301

S = 5, I = 3, T = 3, E = 0, R = 1

UNCLE = 84670

U = 8, N = 4, C = 6, L = 7, E = 0 (E = 0 matched)

BOY = 129

B = 1, O = 2, Y = 9

Now SON

S = 5

O = 2

N = 4

SON = 524

Explanation

Circle is the odd one out.

Cone, Cylinder, Sphere are 3D solids (have volume).

Circle is a 2D shape (only area, no volume).

Explanation

All pairs have a common factor greater than 1 except one.

56, 63 = Both divisible by 7

96, 108 = Both divisible by 12

16, 18 = Both divisible by 2

86, 99 = 86 = 2 x 43, 99 = 3 x 3 x 11 - No common factor

So 86, 99 does not belong to the group.

Explanation

Let P = 1 unit

Q is twice as old as P:

Q = 2 x P = 2

Q is twice younger than T means T is twice older than Q:

T = 2 x Q = 4

R is half the age of P:

R = P / 2 = 0.5

R is twice older than S means S is half of R:

S = R / 2 = 0.25

Order from oldest to youngest:

T = 4 > Q = 2 > P = 1 > R = 0.5 > S = 0.25

Oldest = T

Second Oldest = Q

Explanation

New Radius = 10 + 1% of 10 = 10 + 0.1 = 10.1

Old Area = pi _ 10 _ 10 = 100 pi

New Area = pi _ 10.1 _ 10.1 = 102.01 pi

Increase = 102.01 pi - 100 pi = 2.01 pi

Percentage Increase = (Increase / Old Area) _ 100

= (2.01 pi / 100 pi) _ 100

= 2.01%

Explanation

Price becomes cheap, so you get 3 extra in $1.

Let old price = 100 cents

New price = 80 cents (20% less)

Old qty in $1 = let's say = x

New qty in $1 = x + 3

Money spent is same $1, so:

x _ 100 = (x+3) _ 80

100x = 80x + 240

20x = 240

x = 12

So old = 12 sharpeners in $1

New = 12+3 = 15 sharpeners in $1

For $5

Old = 12 x 5 = 60

New = 15 x 5 = 75
