The IQ Test Solution
Here are the answers:
| 1. Badminton. All the other sports are played with some kind of a ball. |
| 2. 56398. It follows the same order in which the word OCEAN was jumbled. |
| 3. 24. Tina is 16 and 4 times her brother’s age. That means her brother is 4 years old. So they have a 12 year age gap. So, 12 x 2 = 24. |
| 4. 8. The sequence is: 2+1 = 3; 3 x 2 = 6. Then, 6+1=7; 7×2 = 14. Then, 14+1=15, 15 x 2 = 30. |
| 5. Fruit. The unjumbled word is MANDARINE. |
| 6. 5. 1/5 of 200 = 40. ½ of 40 = 20. ¼ of 20 = 5. |
| 7. 5. Eric can get 12 bottles after 4 trips. Then he needs to make 1 more trip to get the final bottle. There’s no such thing as half a trip. |
| 8. Suited. |
| 9. Failing. Vaccines prevent viruses from being successful. Failing an exam works the same way. |
| 10. You have 2 oranges. Don’t get it? Read the question carefully. |
So how many did you manage to get correct? If you got all 10 correct, then you are a part of the elite 0.1% that has such a high IQ. You also tend to strive for perfection, and love challenges. You are an amazing genius, to say the least.
