Flowchart

1. If the number is 13, what is the outcome number if the flowchart was followed?

  • A) 20
  • B) 24
  • C) 48
  • D) 84
  • E) 240
Solution: 13 is not a multiple of 3 → 13×3+1 = 40 → 40−20 = 20 → divisible by 4 → END

2. If the number is 6, what is the outcome number if the flowchart was followed?

  • A) 4
  • B) 8
  • C) 9
  • D) 10
  • E) 14
Solution: 6 is a multiple of 3 → 6−1 = 5 (odd) → 5+5 = 10 → below 20 → END

3. If the number is 9, what is the outcome number if the flowchart was followed?

  • A) 8
  • B) 11
  • C) 14
  • D) 16
  • E) 20
Solution: 9 is a multiple of 3 → 9−1 = 8 (even) → END

4. If the number is 17, what is the outcome number if the flowchart was followed?

  • A) 16
  • B) 20
  • C) 21
  • D) 32
  • E) 37
Solution: 17 is not a multiple of 3 → 17×3+1 = 52 → 52−20 = 32 → divisible by 4 → END

5. If the number is 11, what is the outcome number if the flowchart was followed?

  • A) 14
  • B) 20
  • C) 24
  • D) 28
  • E) 30
Solution: 11 is not a multiple of 3 → 11×3+1 = 34 → 34−20 = 14 → not divisible by 4 → +6 = 20 → END
