  1. All squares are rectangles. Some rectangles are rhombuses. Which conclusion is definitely true?

    Answer: Some rectangles are squares

    Since all squares are rectangles, rectangles include squares, so some rectangles are squares.

  2. A train leaves Station A at 9:00 AM traveling east at 60 mph. Another train leaves Station B (180 miles east of A) at the same time traveling west at 30 mph. At what time do they meet?

    Answer: 11:00 AM

    Combined speed is 90 mph; 180 miles ÷ 90 mph = 2 hours, so they meet at 11:00 AM.

  3. If PENCIL is coded as QFODLM, how is PAPER coded?

    Answer: QBQFS

    Each letter is shifted forward by 1 in the alphabet, so P→Q, A→B, P→Q, E→F, R→S gives QBQFS.

  4. Pointing to a woman, Sam said, 'Her mother's husband's sister is my aunt.' How is the woman related to Sam?

    Answer: Sister

    Her mother's husband is her father; his sister is Sam's aunt, meaning her father and Sam's parent are siblings, so she and Sam are siblings.

  5. What is the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

    Answer: 42

    Differences are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, so the next term is 30 + 12 = 42.

  6. Some managers are leaders. All leaders are visionaries. No visionary is a pessimist. Which conclusion follows?

    Answer: Some managers are not pessimists

    Some managers are leaders → those managers are visionaries → those visionaries are not pessimists, so some managers are not pessimists.

  7. A clock shows 3:15. What is the angle between the hour and minute hands?

    Answer: 7.5°

    At 3:15 the minute hand is at 90° and the hour hand is at 97.5° (3×30° + 15×0.5°), giving a difference of 7.5°.
