Answer the following True/False questions on a fun Christmas theme to test your quantitative skills.


1. An elf wrote the numbers 5 through 15 in a straight line. On adding any two numbers next to each other, the elf found the sum to be an odd number.
• True
• False
Answer: True
Any two numbers next to each other will consist of an odd number and an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is always odd.

2. Mom started baking cookies for Christmas at 15 minutes before 7 o'clock. So, Mom started baking cookies for Christmas at 45 minutes past 8 o'clock.
• True
• False
Answer: False
15 minutes before 7 o'clock is the same as 45 minutes past 6 o'clock (not 8 o'clock).

3. Mary has 11 cents. Dad gives her 38 cents and Mom gives her 29 cents. With this money, she can buy a Christmas card costing 83 cents.
• True
• False
Answer: False
11 cents + 38 cents + 29 cents = 78 cents (not 83 cents).


4. There are 17 balloons in the red box, 37 balloons in the blue box, 21 balloons in the green box, and 43 balloons in the yellow box, The children can decorate a party room for Christmas with 101 balloons from only three boxes.
• True
• False
Answer: True
37 balloons + 21 balloons + 43 balloons = 101 balloons. Thus, no balloons are needed from the red box.

5. Santa leaves 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 2 nickels for you in a red stocking. On buying a candycane worth 52 cents, what remains with you is 53 cents.
• True
• False
Answer: True
You have (3 × 25) + (2 × 10) + (2 × 5) = 105 cents.
You spend 52 cents.
What remains with you is (105 − 52) = 53 cents.

6. If there are 5 reindeer and 10 turkeys, then there are totally 44 legs.
• True
• False
Answer: False
(5 × 4) + (10 × 2) = 40 total legs.

7. Santa Claus gives 4 pairs of green gloves and 4 pairs of red socks to some school children. There will be a total of 80 fingers (including thumb) and toes in the gloves and socks together if all of them are worn.
• True
• False
Answer: True
There are 10 fingers in each pair of gloves and there are 10 toes in each pair of socks. Thus, the total number of fingers and toes will be 10 (4 + 4) = 80.

8. Santa Claus has a cake that weighs 3.5 pounds (where 1 pound = 16 ounces). If he distributes the cake equally amongst 4 children, then each child gets 14 ounces of cake.
• True
• False
Answer: True
One pound equals 16 ounces. Therefore, 3.5 pounds equals 56 ounces. On dividing by 4, each cake piece weighs 14 ounces.

9. The number of toys in each of six boxes is as follows: 4, 7, 12, 15, 18, 23. An elf delivers to Syberschool three boxes containing a total of 29 toys.

The elf delivers three boxes containing 4, 7 and 18 toys. Note 4 + 7 + 18 = 29.

• True
• False
Answer: True
The sum of an odd number of any odd numbers is an odd number.

11. Mom bought for Christmas a reel of red ribbon 82 feet in length. If it takes 1 second to cut a 1 foot strip from the reel, it would take 1 minute 22 seconds to cut the total length of reel into 1 foot strips.
