<![CDATA[Need my answers validated for General Ability Questions]]>Hi everyone


NB, these are legitimate questions and not an April Fool's joke.

This is the first of a few general intelligence maths questions that I willbe posting where I need validation of my answers, hence the new thread. Please help on the following:

QUESTION 1
A man walked 1.5 miles from his home in a straight line. He then turned Left and walked a mile. He then turned Left again and walked another 1.5 miles. If he again turns Left, how far hashe to walk to reach home.

I got the answer as 1 mile. I pictured it as a rectangle (2 @ 1.5 miles and 2 @1 miles)

Am I wrong or right?

4. each side would have 5 beads, since it's equilateral triangle.
5 c I also think is niece
5d April coz its the only month with 30 days
Thank you mvm

In relation to Question 3, having 3, 4 and 5 beads would show each side as having 5 beads each. Just to confirm are we in agreement on this answer?

QUESTION 5
Write out the word in each group that appears to be \"odd\" :-

(b) Apple, plum, orange, damson, pear
(c) Niece, father, husband, uncle, son
(d) January, March, December, April, October

My answers
(b) orange; it is the only one where we cannot eat the skin.

(c) My DS says Niece (as others are male). I say uncle, as there are definite relationship between father and son, and Uncle and Niece. I think DS is right, though.

(d) This one is confusing. I first thought it was October, since January followed December and April followed March.

Or it could be April, since October then miss a month then December. Similarily, January the miss a month then March. Not sure here.
