So, are you confident you have what it takes to answer all of the tricky questions correctly?
Now, let’s start:
1. At a conference, 12 members shook hands with each other before & after the meeting. How many total number of hand shakes occurred?
2. Find two words, one from each group, that are the closest in meaning: Group A: talkative, job, ecstatic, Group B: angry, wind, loquacious
3. If Mary is 16 years old, which is 4 times as old as her brother, how old is Mary?
Answer:
1/ 132
Explanation:
The first person shook hands with 11 remaining people, the second person also shook hands with 11 people, but we count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been counted.
Then add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one & proceeding in this fashion
We get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66.
Hence 66 hand shakes took place before & 66 after the meeting, For a total of 132.
2/Talkative and Loquacious
3. 24-year-olds
