Intellectual Aptitudes
For each of the following questions, select the correct answer (one and only one), and circle the corresponding
letter-label (a, b, c or d), immediately above it. Please carefully verify the locations of the labels, to avoid any
checking confusion, as no erasing is allowed. The total score is obtained by adding one score point for each good
selection (answer). A question which is ignored (no circled label) or has multiple answers (more than one circled
label) has no score (neither positive, nor negative).
The final mark of the examination results from the scaling of the total score in the standard mark range (1-10).

Section II: Data Sufficiency

Directions: Each of the following problems has a question and two statements, which are, labeled (1) and (2). Use
the data given in (1) and (2) together with other available information (such as the number of hours in a day, the
definition of clockwise, mathematical facts, etc.) to decide whether the statements are sufficient to answer the
question. Then fill in the space.
(a) if you cannot get the answer from statements (1) and (2) together, but need even more data;
(b) if statement (1) alone suffices and statement (2) alone suffices;
(c) if you can get the answer from (1) and (2) together, although neither statement by itself suffices;
(d) if you can get the answer from (2) alone but not from (1) alone;
(e) if you can get the answer from (1) alone but not from (2) alone.
All numbers used in this section are real numbers.
