1. Find the sum S of all whole Arithmetic Reasoning

numbers from 1 to 20?

S = 1 + 2 + 3 + … + 18 + 19 + 20

Tip 1: Can you find a pattern of matching totals?

Tip 2: Can you convert this question into a multiplication question.
Not an addition question.

which sum to 30?

First Second Third

Odd
Number + Odd
Number + Odd
Number = 30
Reason out why or why not?

Tip: Imagine it visually. Ask for the MathBox blocks to visually represent this problem.

the 5-sided shape below?

Tip: Try dividing this shape into triangles.

4. There are 7 bus routes from Town-A to Logical Reasoning

Town-B, and 2 trains from Town-B to Town-C:

Town A Town B Town C

In how many different ways can you go from Town-A to Town-C?

Tip: Suppose there was only one bus from Town A to B,

in how many different ways could you reach Town C?

 5. Jerry starts building a multiplication table Arithmetic Reasoning

of a large number N. While observing Jerry’s

table, Annie notes that the product in a certain
row is 5661, and the product in the next row is 5814.

N× = 5661
N× = 5814
What could be the number N?

Tip: Think how two consecutive multiples of any number are related.

6. A bag has 100 pairs of socks of two Logical Reasoning
different colours - red and blue - all mixed up.
Without looking into the bag, what is the minimum number
of socks you need to remove to surely get a pair of socks of the same colour?

Tip: Visually represent possible outcomes step by step to reach your answer.

“Math is not about memorising things, it's about finding patterns.”

 7. Rachel writes all the numbers from 1 to Arithmetic Reasoning

100 on a blackboard. How many times will

the digit 1 appear on the blackboard?

Tip: There are two sets of patterns to be identified to reach the final answer.

 ROUND - 2

1. Find the sum S of all whole Arithmetic Reasoning

numbers from 1 to 50?

S = 1 + 2 + 3 + … + 48 + 49 + 50

Tip 1: Can you find a pattern of matching totals?

Tip 2: Can you convert this question into a multiplication question.
Not an addition question.

four = 35
Reason out why or why not?

Tip: Imagine it visually. Ask for the MathBox blocks to visually represent this problem.

the 6-sided shape below?

Tip: Try dividing this shape into triangles.

4. Tom has to travel from City X to City Z, via City Y. Logical Reasoning

There are 6 flights from City X to City Y and 5 flights

from City Y to City Z.

City X City Y City Z

In how many different ways can Tom plan his trip?

Tip: If there was only one flight from City X to City Y, in

how many different ways could you reach City Z?

 5. In the multiplication table of a large Arithmetic Reasoning

number N, the 45th number is 9225, and the 47th

number is 9635. What is the number N?

N × 45 = 9225
N × 47 = 9635
What could be the number N?

Tip: Think how consecutive multiples of any number are related.

What is the minimum number of students the teacher should

select from the class for at least two students in the group
surely to have the same number?

Tip: Visually represent possible outcomes step by step to reach your answer.

“Math is about constructing mental models, building algorithms and making optimal choices.”
 7. Gerald writes all the numbers from 101 to Arithmetic Reasoning

200 (both included) on a blackboard. How many

more times will the digit 1 appear than the digit 0?

Tip: There are two sets of patterns to be identified to reach the final answer.
