Here are a few questions from this part. Take the full test to answer all 20 and get your score.

Sample question 1

Of 120 employees of the city hall, 79 own a radio, 104 own a television, and 102 have internet access.

What is the greatest possible number of them who did all three?

  • 165
  • 95
  • 45
  • 79
Answer: 79
All three can overlap only as much as the smallest group: min(79, 104, 102) = 79.

Sample question 2

How many days of vacation leave is Ramon, who has 4 years of service and a perfect attendance record, entitled to?

  • 16 days
  • 10 days
  • 20 days
  • 21 days
Answer: 16 days
4 years falls in the 15 -day bracket, plus 1 for perfect attendance: 16 days.

Sample question 3

Of 40 households in the barangay, 23 received the flu vaccine and 29 attended the orientation.

What is the least possible number of them who did both?

  • 23
  • 6
  • 12
  • 17
Answer: 12
Least overlap = 23 + 29 − 40 = 12 (the groups must overlap by at least this much).

Sample question 4

In a barangay, garbage is collected every 3 days and recyclable waste every 7 days. Both were collected today, Monday. On what day of the week will both be collected together again?

  • Saturday
  • Monday
  • Tuesday
  • Sunday
Answer: Monday
Both are collected together every LCM(3, 7) = 21 days. 21 mod 7 = 0, so from Monday the day is Monday.

Sample question 5

How many days of vacation leave is Oscar, who has 2 years of service and a perfect attendance record, entitled to?

  • 18 days
  • 17 days
  • 22 days
