Ramsay Test Logical Thinking & Problem Solving 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In the series 3, 6, 12, 24, ?, what number comes next?
- 36
- 48 (Correct answer)
- 30
- 42
Correct answer: 48
Each term doubles the previous one, so 24 × 2 = 48.
Question 2: All wrenches in a toolbox are metric. The tool you grabbed is not metric. What can you conclude?
- It is a wrench
- It is not from that toolbox (Correct answer)
- It is broken
- It is imperial and a wrench
Correct answer: It is not from that toolbox
Since every wrench in the box is metric, a non-metric tool cannot have come from that box.
Question 3: If gear A turns clockwise and meshes directly with gear B, which way does gear B turn?
- Clockwise
- Counterclockwise (Correct answer)
- It stops
- Same as A
Correct answer: Counterclockwise
Two directly meshed gears always rotate in opposite directions.
Question 4: Which number does not belong in the group: 2, 3, 5, 9, 11?
- 3
- 5
- 9 (Correct answer)
- 11
Correct answer: 9
9 is the only composite number; the rest are prime.
Question 5: A machine fails only when both sensor X and sensor Y trip. X tripped but the machine runs. What is true?
- Y also tripped
- Y did not trip (Correct answer)
- Both sensors are off
- X is faulty
Correct answer: Y did not trip
Failure needs both sensors; since the machine runs, Y must not have tripped.
Question 6: Complete the analogy: Bolt is to Nut as Plug is to ___?
- Wire
- Socket (Correct answer)
- Switch
- Cable
Correct answer: Socket
A bolt fits into a nut just as a plug fits into a socket.
Question 7: If it takes 4 machines 6 hours to finish a job, how long for 8 machines at the same rate?
- 3 hours (Correct answer)
- 12 hours
- 6 hours
- 2 hours
Correct answer: 3 hours
Doubling the machines halves the time, so 6 ÷ 2 = 3 hours.
