Question 1

In a coded language, COURT is written as FRXUW. Using the same code, what does JUDGE translate to?

Accepted Answer

MXGJH

Question 2

All contracts are agreements. Some agreements are void. Which conclusion follows logically?

Accepted Answer

Some contracts may be void.

Answer

Since some agreements are void and all contracts are agreements, it is possible (but not certain) that some contracts are void, making 'some contracts may be void' the logically safe conclusion.

Question 3

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed were 15 km/h more, the journey would take 2 hours less. What is the original speed?

Accepted Answer

45 km/h

Answer

Setting up 360/v − 360/(v+15) = 2 and solving gives v = 45 km/h.

Question 4

Statement: 'Only meritorious students receive scholarships.' Assumptions: I. Non-meritorious students never apply. II. Merit is the sole criterion for scholarships.

Answer

The statement directly implies merit is the only criterion (II), but says nothing about whether non-meritorious students apply (I).
