CCAT Logical Reasoning 5

Question 1

Three boxes are labeled Apples, Oranges, and Mixed. All labels are wrong. You pull one fruit from the box labeled Mixed and it is an apple. What does the Mixed box actually contain?

Accepted Answer

Apples

Answer

Since all labels are wrong, the Mixed box can only contain Apples or Oranges; drawing an apple confirms it holds only Apples.

Question 2

Some dogs are brown. All brown things are visible in daylight. Which conclusion must be true?

Accepted Answer

Some dogs are visible in daylight

Answer

Those dogs that are brown are also visible in daylight, so at least some dogs are visible in daylight.

Question 3

A clock loses 5 minutes every hour. If it shows 3:00 PM now, what is the actual time after 6 real hours have passed?

Accepted Answer

8:30 PM

Answer

The clock loses 30 minutes total over 6 hours, so it shows 8:30 PM while the actual time is 9:00 PM — but the question asks what the clock shows: 8:30 PM.

Question 4

Which word does NOT belong: Hammer, Saw, Wrench, Chisel, Paintbrush?

Accepted Answer

Hammer, Saw, Wrench, and Chisel are all cutting or striking tools used in construction; Paintbrush is an artistic/finishing tool.

Accepted Answer
