LEAB Deductive & Inductive Reasoning 3

Question 1

Study the sequence of incident numbers: 1021, 1024, 1027, 1030, ____. What is the next number?

Accepted Answer

1033

Answer

Each number increases by 3, so 1030 + 3 = 1033.

Question 2

All felonies require a written incident report. All written incident reports must be reviewed by a supervisor. Detective Nguyen documents a felony. Which must follow?

Accepted Answer

Nguyen's report must be reviewed by a supervisor

Answer

By chaining both rules: felony → written report → supervisor review, so the supervisor must review Nguyen's report.

Question 3

A detective reviews burglary data: January 8 cases, February 12 cases, March 16 cases, April 20 cases. If the trend continues, how many cases are expected in May?

Accepted Answer

24

Answer

Cases increase by 4 each month, so May is projected at 20 + 4 = 24 cases.

Question 4

Officers observe that every car speeding through a school zone in the past month was traveling more than 15 mph over the limit. An inductive conclusion from this data is:

Accepted Answer

Speeders in that zone tend to significantly exceed the limit, not marginally

Answer

The observed data supports the specific conclusion about that zone's pattern, not a city-wide universal claim.

Question 5

Rule: A vehicle may only be towed if it is illegally parked AND has been there for more than 2 hours OR it is blocking a fire hydrant. A car has been illegally parked for 3 hours but is not blocking a hydrant. Can it be towed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because it meets the illegally parked AND over 2 hours condition

Answer

The rule has two independent grounds for towing; the car satisfies the first (illegally parked + over 2 hours).
