Mettl Logical and Abstract Reasoning Questions and Answers

Question 1

In a certain code language, if 'SYSTEM' is coded as 'SYSMET', how is 'FRACTION' coded?

Accepted Answer

FRACNOIT

Answer

The logic is to interchange the last three letters. In 'SYSTEM', 'TEM' becomes 'MET'. Similarly, in 'FRACTION', the last three letters 'ION' become 'NOI', resulting in 'FRACNOIT'.

Question 2

Consider the following statements:
1. All scientists are researchers.
2. Some researchers are professors.
Which of the following is a logically certain conclusion?

Accepted Answer

No definite conclusion can be drawn between scientists and professors.

Answer

The statements establish that scientists are a subset of researchers, and there is an overlap between researchers and professors. However, the group of 'scientists' and the group of 'professors' could be entirely separate within the larger 'researcher' category. Therefore, we cannot definitively conclude anything about the relationship between scientists and professors.

Question 3

Find the missing number in the series: 5, 11, 24, 51, 106, ___

Accepted Answer

217

Answer

The pattern is to multiply the current number by 2 and then add an incrementally increasing number, starting from 1. 
5 * 2 + 1 = 11
11 * 2 + 2 = 24
24 * 2 + 3 = 51
51 * 2 + 4 = 106
106 * 2 + 5 = 217

Question 4

Which of the following pairs shares the same relationship as 'Odometer : Distance'?

Accepted Answer

Scale : Weight

Answer

An odometer is an instrument used to measure distance. Similarly, a scale is an instrument used to measure weight. The other options are incorrect: a thermometer measures temperature (not illness), a clock measures time (seconds are a unit), and a compass indicates direction (hiking is an activity).

Question 5

A project manager is scheduling tasks. Task B must be done after Task A. Task C must be done before Task A. Task D must be done after Task B. Which of the following is a valid sequence for completing the tasks?

Accepted Answer

C, A, B, D

Answer

The logical constraints are: C -> A -> B -> D. The only sequence that satisfies all these dependencies is C, A, B, D. C is before A, A is before B, and B is before D.
