CHP Logical Reasoning 3

Question 1

Officer Reyes can write 3 traffic citations in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many citations can she write in 2 hours?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

3 citations per 15 minutes equals 12 citations per hour; in 2 hours that is 24 citations.

Question 2

Some CHP officers are bilingual. All bilingual officers are assigned to border checkpoints. Officer Ruiz is assigned to a border checkpoint. What can be concluded?

Accepted Answer

Officer Ruiz may or may not be bilingual

Answer

Being assigned to a border checkpoint does not confirm bilingualism, because the premise only states 'some' officers there are bilingual.

Question 3

A sequence of badge numbers reads: 112, 116, 120, 124, ___. What is the next number?

Accepted Answer

128

Answer

Each number increases by 4, so 124 + 4 = 128.

Question 4

At a crime scene, Officer Kim finds these clues: broken window (entry point), muddy footprints inside, and a missing laptop. Which conclusion is most logically supported?

Accepted Answer

A burglar entered through the window and stole the laptop

Answer

The combination of forced entry (broken window), footprints indicating movement inside, and a missing item most directly supports a burglary scenario.

Question 5

If all reckless drivers are cited, and Driver Thompson was not cited, what is the most logical conclusion?

Accepted Answer

Driver Thompson was not driving recklessly

Answer

By contrapositive reasoning, if all reckless drivers are cited and Thompson was not cited, Thompson was not reckless.
