Cadet College Entry Test Intelligence Test (IQ) flashcards — 59 questions with answers

  1. In a number series, what is the first step to identify the pattern?

    Find the difference (or ratio) between consecutive terms to detect whether the series is based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or squares/cubes.

  2. What is the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, __ ?

    42. The differences increase by 2 each time (4, 6, 8, 10, 12), so 30 + 12 = 42.

  3. What type of number series is 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... and what comes next?

    A series of perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²); the next term is 36 (6²).

  4. What comes next in the series: 1, 8, 27, 64, __ ?

    125. These are perfect cubes (1³, 2³, 3³, 4³, 5³).

  5. Identify the next term: 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 17, __ ?

    23. The differences increase by 1 each step (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), so 17 + 6 = 23.

  6. What is the Fibonacci series and give its first 8 terms.

    A series where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21.

  7. In an alternating number series, how is the pattern usually formed?

    Two different patterns alternate in odd and even positions; solve the odd-position terms and even-position terms separately.

  8. What is coding and decoding in IQ tests?

    A process where letters, numbers, or symbols are substituted according to a specific rule to encode a word/message; decoding reverses that rule to recover the original.

  9. If in a certain code CAT is written as DBU, what is the coding rule?

    Each letter is shifted forward by one position in the alphabet (C+1=D, A+1=B, T+1=U).

  10. Using the +1 letter-shift code, how is DOG written?

    EPH (D+1=E, O+1=P, G+1=H).

  11. In letter coding, what does it mean to use the 'reverse alphabet' (A=Z) method?

    Each letter is replaced by its opposite from the other end of the alphabet: A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, and so on (the EJOTY/AZBY rule).

  12. What is the positional value of the letters A, E, J, O, T, Y in the alphabet (the EJOTY rule)?

    A=1, E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20, Y=25 — useful reference points for quickly finding any letter's position.

  13. In number coding, if A=1, B=2, ... and a word is coded by summing letter values, what is the code for CAB?

    6. C=3, A=1, B=2, so 3+1+2 = 6.

  14. What is substitution coding?

    A type where words are replaced by other words (e.g., 'sky is blue' means 'blue is air'); you must answer based on the substituted meanings, not real-world meanings.

  15. What is an analogy in IQ tests?

    A relationship between two items applied to a second pair; the task is to find the term that relates to the third item the same way the second relates to the first (A:B :: C:?).

  16. Solve the analogy: Hand : Glove :: Foot : ?

    Sock (or shoe). The relationship is 'item worn on that body part'.

  17. Solve the analogy: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?

    School. The relationship is 'profession : workplace'.

  18. Solve the analogy: 2 : 8 :: 3 : ?

    27. The relationship is cube (2³=8, so 3³=27). (If interpreted as ×4, the answer would be 12 — cube is the stronger pattern here.)

  19. What is a classification (categories) question?

    A question requiring you to group items by a shared property or to recognize which items belong to the same category/class.

  20. What is the 'Odd One Out' question type?

    A set of items is given and you must identify the one item that does not share the common property of the others.

  1. Find the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Lily, Mango.

    Mango. The others are flowers; mango is a fruit.

  2. Find the odd one out: 3, 5, 11, 14, 17, 21.

    14. All others are odd numbers; 14 is even.

  3. Find the odd one out: 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 150.

    150. All others are perfect squares (8², 9², 10², 11², 12²); 150 is not.

  4. What general strategy helps solve Odd One Out questions?

    Identify the common rule/category that links most items (type, shape, parity, multiples, squares, etc.), then pick the item that breaks that rule.

  5. In a spelling-mistake question, what is the task?

    To identify which word (or part of a word) is misspelled and recognize/select the correctly spelled version.

  6. Which is the correctly spelled word: 'recieve' or 'receive'?

    'receive' — follows the rule 'i before e except after c'.

  7. Which is correctly spelled: 'seperate' or 'separate'?

    'separate' (there is 'a rat' in sep-a-rat-e).

  8. Which is correctly spelled: 'definately' or 'definitely'?

    'definitely' (contains the word 'finite').

  9. Which is correctly spelled: 'accomodate' or 'accommodate'?

    'accommodate' — it takes a double c and a double m.

  10. What are 'quick calculation' techniques in IQ tests?

    Mental-math shortcuts (rounding, breaking numbers apart, multiplication tricks, divisibility rules) to compute answers rapidly without long written working.

  11. Quick trick: how do you multiply a number by 5 quickly?

    Multiply the number by 10 and then halve the result (e.g., 46 × 5 = 460 ÷ 2 = 230).

  12. Quick trick: how do you multiply any number by 11 (for a two-digit number)?

    Add the two digits and place the sum between them (e.g., 35 × 11 → 3_(3+5)_5 = 385; carry over if the sum exceeds 9).

  13. What is the divisibility rule for 3?

    A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 (e.g., 132 → 1+3+2 = 6, divisible by 3).

  14. What is the divisibility rule for 9?

    A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9 (e.g., 729 → 7+2+9 = 18, divisible by 9).

  15. What is the divisibility rule for 4?

    A number is divisible by 4 if its last two digits form a number divisible by 4 (e.g., 1316 → 16 is divisible by 4).

  16. What is arithmetic reasoning in IQ tests?

    Solving word problems by translating real-life situations (ages, money, distance, work, ratios) into arithmetic operations to find the unknown.

  17. Arithmetic reasoning: A man buys 5 pens at Rs.12 each and sells them at Rs.15 each. What is his total profit?

    Rs.15. Cost = 5×12 = 60; Sale = 5×15 = 75; Profit = 75 − 60 = Rs.15.

  18. What is the formula for average?

    Average = (Sum of all values) ÷ (Number of values).

  19. Arithmetic reasoning: The average of 4 numbers is 20. What is their total sum?

    80. Sum = Average × Number of values = 20 × 4 = 80.

  20. What is the formula for percentage of a quantity?

    Percentage value = (Percent ÷ 100) × Total quantity (e.g., 20% of 150 = 0.20 × 150 = 30).

  21. What is a logical number problem?

    A problem where numbers are arranged in a logical pattern, grid, or relationship and you must deduce the missing or odd number using reasoning rather than a simple series rule.

  22. Logical number problem: If 3 + 5 = 28, 6 + 2 = 48, what is 4 + 7?

    121 written as 1121-style? Standard answer: (4+7)=11 and (4×7)... Actually using the rule (sum)(difference): 3+5→(8)(2)=82? The common rule here gives concatenation; one accepted answer pattern is 28 from (3+5=8, 3×... ). For (a+b): result = (a−b? ). Best-fit rule (a+b then a×b): 3+5: 8 & 15→ not 28. Use (a+b)|(a−b): 8|2=28? No. Accept: answer depends on stated rule.

  23. What approach solves matrix/grid logical number problems?

    Look for a consistent operation (add, subtract, multiply, or combine rows/columns) that links the surrounding numbers to the center or missing number, then apply it.

  24. What is a figure series?

    A sequence of figures that change according to a rule (rotation, addition/removal of elements, shading, or movement); you predict the next figure that continues the pattern.

  25. What features should you track in a figure series problem?

    Rotation (direction/angle), number of sides/lines/dots, shading or color, position/movement of elements, and addition or deletion of parts.

  26. What is a mirror image?

    The reflection of a figure or text as it would appear in a vertical mirror placed to its side — left and right are reversed while top and bottom stay the same.

  27. What is a water image (water reflection)?

    The reflection of a figure as seen in water (a horizontal mirror placed below it) — top and bottom are inverted while left and right stay the same.

  28. How does the mirror image of the letter 'b' appear?

    It appears as 'd' — the mirror reverses left and right.

  29. How does the water image of the letter 'b' appear?

    It appears as 'p' — the water reflection flips top and bottom.

  30. Which capital letters look the same as their mirror image?

    Letters symmetric about a vertical axis: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y.

  31. Which capital letters look the same as their water image?

    Letters symmetric about a horizontal axis: B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X (those unchanged when flipped top-to-bottom).

  32. What is figure analogy?

    Applying a transformation rule (rotation, reflection, resizing, or change of elements) shown in one pair of figures to a second figure to find its correct match.

  33. What is figure classification?

    Grouping figures by a shared visual property and identifying the figure that does not belong to the group (the figure-based 'odd one out').

  34. What is an embedded (hidden) figure problem?

    A task where a given simple figure is concealed within a larger, more complex figure, and you must locate which complex figure contains the simple one in its original form and orientation.

  35. What is the key rule when finding an embedded figure?

    The hidden figure must appear in the same shape, size, and orientation (without rotation or distortion) within the complex figure.

  36. What is the difference between a mirror image and a water image in one line?

    Mirror image reverses left-right (vertical axis reflection); water image reverses top-bottom (horizontal axis reflection).

  37. Next number: 5, 10, 20, 40, __ ?

    80. Each term is multiplied by 2 (geometric series with ratio 2).

  38. Next number in the series: 100, 96, 91, 85, 78, __ ?

    70. The differences increase: subtract 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → 78 − 8 = 70.

  39. Solve the analogy: Pen : Write :: Knife : ?

    Cut. The relationship is 'tool : its function'.
