EDPT Practice Test

The correct answer is A.

A roadblock prevents a car from moving just as a fetter prevents the convict from moving.

The correct answer is B.

A cage restricts the movement of a bird, just as handcuffs restrict the movement of a criminal. Both pairs involve a form of restraint that limits the freedom of the subject.

The correct answer is B.

A boat sinks when it fails to stay afloat, similar to how a plane crashes when it fails to stay airborne. Both pairs represent a scenario where the subject fails to maintain its intended position or state, leading to a downfall.

The correct answer is B.

William starts with 150 documents. In the first five hours, he files 1/4 X 150 = 37.5 documents. Since we deal with whole documents, let's assume he filed 38 documents. In the next three hours, he filed 1/3 X 150 = 50 documents. So, after eight hours in total, he has filed 38 + 50 = 88 documents. Therefore, the number of documents left to file is 150 - 88 = 62. Rounding up to the closest available option, the answer is B.

The correct answer is B.

In the first hour, Sarah packed 1/5 X 240 = 48 cookies. In the next two hours, she packed 1/2 X 240 = 120 cookies. So, the total number of cookies packed is 48 + 120 = 168. Therefore, the number of cookies left to pack is 240 - 168 = 72, which is answer B.

The correct answer is C.

On the first day, John paints 1/6 X 180 = 30 planks, leaving 180 - 30 = 150 planks. On the second day, he paints half of the remaining planks, so he paints 1/2 X 150 = 75 planks. Thus, the number of planks left to paint is 150 - 75 = 75, which is answer C.

The correct answer is B.

You can identify the pattern by observing the difference in consecutive numbers:

From 2 to 3, the difference is 1

From 3 to 5, the difference is 2

From 5 to 8, the difference is 3

As the difference is increasing by 1 each time, the next difference should be 4.

So, adding 4 to the last number, we get 12, which is answer B.

The correct answer is C.

This series follows a pattern of multiplying by 3 each time:

• 3 X 3 = 9
• 9 X 3 = 27
• 27 X 3 = 81

Continuing this pattern, the following term is:

• 81 X 3 = 243, which is answer C

The relationship between figure X and figure Y is as follows:

Figure Y represents figure X as:
1) The inner shape (triangle) rotates 180° and is pushed upward towards the top of the outer shape,
2) The dark section becomes white and the white section becomes dark.

The correct answer must have the same relationship with figure Z.

Answers 2, 3, and 4 can be eliminated as the inner shape (trapezoid) is not rotated.

Answer 1 can be eliminated as the dark section remains dark and the outer shape (the triangle) is rotated 180°.

We are left with answer 5, which is the correct answer, as it portrays figure Z with the inner shape (trapezoid) rotated 180°, the dark sections becoming white, and the white sections becoming dark.

The correct answer is C.

Figure X is comprised of two overlapping triangles. Figure Y is in the shape of the space where the triangles in figure X overlap, rotated 90° clockwise.

Figure Z is also comprised of two overlapping triangles. Figure 3 is the only one of the possible answers which is in the same shape as the space where they overlap, rotated 90° clockwise.
