Magic bag
Arithmetic Sequences
Solve
Alexโ€™s uncle is a magician who gave them a magic bag in which coins get doubled each time you put those coins into it. Initially, Alex had few coins with them. So, Alex put all the coins, and the coins got doubled. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few to their friend and then again put the remaining coins back in the bag. The coins doubled again; Alex took out all the coins again and gave a few coins to their second friend. Alex then put the remaining coins in the bag and the coins doubled again. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few coins to their third friend. 
There were no coins left with Alex when Alex gave coins to the third friend and Alex gave an equal number of coins to each friend. What is the minimum number of coins Alex had initially and how much did Alex give to each friend?
A: Started with 3 coins

Test candidates on core Numerical Reasoning Hiring Test topics

Ratios: Ratios refer to the quantitative relationship between two or more values. Measuring this skill helps assess a candidate's ability to comprehend and manipulate numerical relationships, which is vital in many business and financial roles.

Number Series: The skill of number series involves identifying patterns or rules within a sequence of numbers. This skill is important to assess as it demonstrates a candidate's logical and analytical thinking abilities, which are crucial in problem-solving and decision-making tasks.

Tables & Graphs: Tables and graphs are visual representations of data that provide insights and facilitate analysis. Testing this skill allows recruiters to evaluate a candidate's proficiency in interpreting and drawing conclusions from different types of data presentations, an essential competence in data-driven decision-making roles.

Currency & Units Conversion: Currency and units conversion entails converting values from one monetary unit or unit of measurement to another. Measuring this skill is important as it indicates a candidate's aptitude for handling global business transactions and their ability to work with diverse units and currencies.

Percentages: Percentages represent parts of a whole expressed as a fraction of 100. Assessing this skill enables recruiters to gauge a candidate's capability to understand and manipulate percentages, which is essential in financial analysis, data interpretation, and forecasting.

Compound Interest: Compound interest is the interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest. Testing this skill helps evaluate a candidate's knowledge and comprehension of financial concepts and their ability to analyze the long-term impact of interest on investments or loans.

Data Visualization: Data visualization involves presenting complex data in a visual format to facilitate understanding and analysis. This skill is measured to assess a candidate's proficiency in creating visually compelling and informative representations of data, which aids in effective communication and decision-making.

Profit & Loss: Profit and loss refers to the financial gains and losses resulting from business transactions. Evaluating this skill provides recruiters with insights into a candidate's ability to analyze financial statements, calculate profit margins, and make informed business decisions based on financial data.

Work & Time: Work and time problems involve calculating the time required to complete a task based on the work rate or the work completed in a given time. Measuring this skill enables recruiters to assess a candidate's ability to solve time-sensitive problems and manage project deadlines efficiently.

What is Numerical Reasoning Test?

The Numerical Reasoning Test evaluates a candidate's ability to work with numbers, interpret data, and make informed decisions based on quantitative information. It is used by recruiters to assess numeracy skills for roles that require strong data analysis capabilities.

What topics are evaluated in the Numerical Reasoning Test?

The test covers a range of topics including Ratios, Number Series, Tables & Graphs, Currency & Units Conversion, Percentages, Compound Interest, Data Visualization, Profit & Loss, and Work & Time.

Can I test numerical reasoning and data interpretation together in a test?

Yes, you can. Combining tests is a great way to assess multiple skills. To learn more, check out our Data Interpretation, Numerical Reasoning & Spatial Reasoning Test.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

What is the cost of using this test?
