Sample Question 1
Deduction Medium • Intelligence Tests
X is an opportunist. This conclusion can be logically deduced from:
โœ“ Correct Answer: (b)
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Logic: All state functions seat non-opportunists in back; X is in the front row, therefore X is an opportunist.
Sample Question 2
Deduction Medium • Intelligence Tests
If X is an editor then he must be an intellectual. Deduce from:
A Only editors...
B All intellectuals...
C None but the intellectuals are editors
D Some editors...
โœ“ Correct Answer: C - None but the intellectuals are editors
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
"None but B are A" is logically equivalent to "All A are B" (All editors are intellectuals).
Sample Question 3
Deduction Medium • Intelligence Tests
Faisal must be an athlete; he is over six feet tall. Which support?
A No person other...
B All athletes...
C Only those who...
D Only athletes are over six feet tall
โœ“ Correct Answer: D - Only athletes are over six feet tall
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
This establishes Height >6 as a sufficient condition for being an athlete.
Sample Question 4
Deduction Medium • Intelligence Tests
If Faisal lives on 1st, Tanveer lives on 2nd. Tanveer does live on 2nd.
A Faisal not on 1st
B Faisal may/may not
C Faisal on 1st
โœ“ Correct Answer: A - Faisal not on 1st
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Affirming the consequent is a logical fallacy; Tanveer being on the 2nd floor doesn't prove Faisal is on the 1st.
Sample Question 5
Deduction Medium • Intelligence Tests
Occurrence of P causes either Q or R. P occurred.
A If R, Q must not
B If Q, R must not
C Both Q and R may have occurred
โœ“ Correct Answer: C - Both Q and R may have occurred
๐Ÿ“– Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Since P causes "either Q or R", it does not preclude the possibility of both being present unless "exclusive or" was specified.
