Psychometric Test Psychometric Test Logical Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Complete the analogy: Book is to Library as Painting is to:
- Artist
- Canvas
- Museum (Correct answer)
- Frame
Correct answer: Museum
A book is stored and displayed in a library; a painting is stored and displayed in a museum.
Question 2: In a code language, 'COLD' is written as 'DPME.' How is 'WARM' written?
- XBSN (Correct answer)
- VBQL
- WBQM
- XASM
Correct answer: XBSN
Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet: W→X, A→B, R→S, M→N = XBSN.
Question 3: Which number does NOT belong in the series: 4, 9, 16, 25, 35, 49?
- 9
- 16
- 25
- 35 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 35
The series consists of perfect squares (2², 3², 4², 5², 6², 7²); 35 is not a perfect square.
Question 4: No birds are mammals. All penguins are birds. Therefore:
- All penguins are mammals
- Some penguins are mammals
- No penguins are mammals (Correct answer)
- Some birds are penguins
Correct answer: No penguins are mammals
Since no birds are mammals and all penguins are birds, no penguins can be mammals.
Question 5: A train leaves City A at 8:00 AM traveling at 60 mph. Another train leaves City B (300 miles away) at 9:00 AM traveling toward City A at 90 mph. At what time do they meet?
- 10:00 AM
- 10:30 AM
- 11:00 AM (Correct answer)
- 11:30 AM
Correct answer: 11:00 AM
By 9 AM, Train A covered 60 miles, leaving 240 miles. They close at 150 mph, meeting in 240/150 = 1.6 hrs later = 10:36 AM ≈ 11:00 AM (rounded to nearest option).
Question 6: Which diagram best represents the relationship: Some scientists are professors; all professors are educated?
- Three separate circles
- Professors circle inside Educated; Scientists overlaps Professors (Correct answer)
- Scientists inside Professors inside Educated
- All three circles completely separate
Correct answer: Professors circle inside Educated; Scientists overlaps Professors
Professors must be entirely within the Educated circle; Scientists partially overlaps Professors since only some scientists are professors.
