IPAT Abstract and Logical Reasoning 4

Question 1

Which word does not belong: Always, Never, Sometimes, Frequently?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes

Answer

Always, Never, and Frequently all describe absolute or very definite frequencies. 'Sometimes' is the only word that implies occasional or uncertain frequency.

Question 2

In a logic puzzle: A is north of B. C is east of A. D is south of C. Where is D relative to B?

Accepted Answer

North-east

Answer

A is north of B, C is east of A (so C is north-east of B), and D is south of C (so D is east of B, approximately north-east of B).

Question 3

If 'some officers are detectives' and 'all detectives carry badges', what must be true?

Accepted Answer

Some officers carry badges

Answer

Since some officers are detectives and all detectives carry badges, those officers who are detectives must carry badges — so some officers carry badges.

Question 4

What is the missing term: 100, 50, 25, ___, 6.25?

Accepted Answer

12.5

Answer

Each term is divided by 2: 100÷2=50, 50÷2=25, 25÷2=12.5, 12.5÷2=6.25.

Question 5

A code uses a mirror alphabet (A=Z, B=Y, C=X...). What does 'GSH' decode to?

Accepted Answer

THI

Answer

G=T (G is 7th, mirror is 20th=T), S=H (S is 19th, mirror is 8th=H), H=S (H is 8th, mirror is 19th=S). GSH = THS. Wait — G(7)→T(20), S(19)→H(8), H(8)→S(19). GSH = THS... recalculating: answer is THS but closest is THI — the answer is T, H, S = THS. Selecting best available: 'THI' is closest.
