Example Question #3 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
How many of the following four numbers are elements of the set
?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Two
Four
Three
None
One
Three
By dividing the numerator of each fraction by its denominator, each fraction can be rewritten as its decimal equivalent:
All fractions except can be seen to fall between 0.3 and 0.4, exclusive. Three is the correct answer.
Note that is equal to 0.4, so we don't include it. The criterion requires strict inequality.

For a set to be a subset of , all of its elements must also be elements of - that is, all of its elements must be multiples of 5. An integer is a multiple of 5 if and only if its last digit is 5 or 0, so all we have to do is examine the last digit of each number in all four sets.
In the sets and , every element ends in a 5 or a 0, so all elements of both sets are in ; both sets are subsets of .
However, includes one element that does not end in either 5 or 0, namely 8934, so 8934 is not an element in ; subsequently, this set is not a subset of . Similarly, is not a subset of , since it includes 7472, which ends in neither 0 nor 5.
The correct answer is therefore two.
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
What are the next two numbers of this sequence?
The sequence is formed by alternately adding and adding to each term to get the next term.
and are the next two numbers.
Example Question #11 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
What is the value of y in the pattern below?
What that the fractions in this pattern have in common is that they are all the equivalent of .
The value of y should be a number that is the equivalent of when divided by 12.
Given that of 12 is 4, of 12 would be equal to 8, the correct answer.
Example Question #12 : Sets
What is the value of in the sequence below?
In this sequence, every subsequent number is equal to one third of the preceding number:
Given that , that is the correct answer.
Example Question #13 : Sets
Find the next number that should appear in the set below:
In this set, each subsequent fraction is half the size of the preceding fraction; (the denominator is doubled for each successive fraction, but the numerator stays the same). Given that the last fraction in the set is , it follows that the subsequent fraction will be .
