Question 1

If all managers at a Riyadh company speak English, and Khalid is a manager at that company, which conclusion is valid?

Accepted Answer

Khalid speaks English

Answer

This is a deductive argument: All managers speak English (premise 1), Khalid is a manager (premise 2), therefore Khalid speaks English (valid conclusion). Note: we cannot conclude the reverse — not all English speakers are necessarily managers.

Question 2

Look at the pattern: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Sunday

Answer

The pattern skips every other day of the week: Monday (skip Tuesday), Wednesday (skip Thursday), Friday (skip Saturday), Sunday. The answer is Sunday.

Question 3

Statement: 'No Saudi university offers free parking.' Which conclusion is valid?

Accepted Answer

If a university offers free parking, it is not a Saudi university

Answer

If NO Saudi university offers free parking, then any university that offers free parking cannot be a Saudi university. This is the logical contrapositive of the original statement.

Question 4

If A > B, B > C, and C > D, which of the following must be true?

Accepted Answer

A > D, A > C, and B > D

Answer

By transitivity: A > B > C > D. Therefore A > D, A > C, and B > D are all necessarily true. This is an application of the transitive property of inequality.

Question 5

Fatima is older than Sara. Sara is older than Nora. Maha is older than Fatima. Who is the youngest?

Accepted Answer

Nora

Answer

Ordering from oldest to youngest: Maha > Fatima > Sara > Nora. Therefore Nora is the youngest. This requires organizing multiple comparisons into a single sequence.
