Let's solve these IQ tests.
1. When full, a barrel of water contains 85litres. How many litres remain after 40% has been used?
2. Joe has one and a half times as many as Mike, and Mike has one and a half times as many as Flo. Altogether they have 76. How many has each?
3. Aries is to ram as Cygnus is to:
goat, fish,swan, eagle, charioteer
4. Limerick is to five as sonnet is to:
four, eight, twelve, fourteen, sixteen
5. Tangent is to touch as secant is to:
meet, divide, coincide, intersect, join.
Answers will be given out later ...... more to come

1) 60% is left, 60% of 85=51litres

2) J=36, M=24, F=16
Explanation:
J=1 1/2 M, J=3/2 M,
M=2/3 J ........(1)
M=1 1/2 F, M=3/2 F,
F=2/3 M ........(2)
subtituting for d value of M in eqn 2 using eqn 1
F=4/9 J ..........(3)
from d question,
J+M+F=76 .......(*)
putting eqn 1 nd eqn 3 in eqn *,
J + 2/3 J + 4/9J = 76,
(9J+6J+4J) / 9 = 76,
J = 36 ! 1st answer
using eqn 1,
M= 2/3 J
M= 2/3 (36)
M= 24 ! 2nd answer
using eqn 3,
F= 4/9 J
F = 4/9 (36)
F = 16 ! 3rd answer

3) swan

4) secant means cut(divide)

5) 14

NB: tnx to google for d help in question 3

nice 1 @dejt4u, but take note, question 4 is fourteen, while question 5 is divide
