Question 5

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information
given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly
known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the
statements.
Statements:
All polygons are angles.
All angles are diagonals.
All cones are cubes.
All cubes are decagons.
No diagonal is a cube.
Conclusions:
I. Some diagonals are polygons.
II. All diagonals are decagons.
III. No polygon is a cone.
IV. Some cubes are angles.

Accepted Answer

From the statements, we can deduce that 'All polygons are diagonals' and 'No diagonal is a cube'. This leads to 'No polygon is a cube', and since 'All cones are cubes', then 'No polygon is a cone' (Conclusion III). Also, 'All polygons are diagonals' implies 'Some diagonals are polygons' (Conclusion I). Therefore, both I and III follow.

Question 6

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second
number is related to the first number.
12 : 60 :: 16 : ?

Accepted Answer

The relationship between the first two numbers is 12 * (12/2 - 1) = 12 * 5 = 60. Applying the same logic to the third number, 16 * (16/2 - 1) = 16 * 7 = 112.
