If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? "Black haired people are kind. I have black hair. I am kind."
-
Yes
-
No
-
Neither True or False (No rational argument)
Correct Answer
A. Neither True or False (No rational argument)Explanation
The final statement cannot be determined as true or false based solely on the given information. While it is stated that black-haired people are kind and the individual has black hair, it does not necessarily mean that the individual is kind. This conclusion lacks a logical connection between the two statements and therefore cannot be determined as true or false.Rate this question:

Find two words, one from each group, that are closest in meaning.Group AdecreasefloorstairsGroup Bdownreducebasement
-
Decrease and down
-
Decrease and basement
-
Floor and basement
-
Stairs and down
-
Decrease and reduce
Correct Answer
A. Decrease and reduceExplanation
The words "decrease" and "reduce" are closest in meaning because they both refer to the act of making something smaller or less in quantity or size. Both words imply a decrease or a lowering of something. In contrast, the other word pairs do not have similar meanings. "Floor" and "basement" are not related in meaning, and "stairs" and "down" have a relationship of movement rather than a similarity in meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is "decrease and reduce."Rate this question:

After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 centimeters. How high (in centimeters) will it reach after its fourth bounce?
-
20
-
27
-
8
-
35
-
3.2
Correct Answer
A. 8Explanation
The ball reaches a height of 125 centimeters after the first bounce. Since it always bounces back to 2/5 of its previous height, after the second bounce it will reach a height of (2/5) * 125 = 50 centimeters. After the third bounce, it will reach a height of (2/5) * 50 = 20 centimeters. Finally, after the fourth bounce, it will reach a height of (2/5) * 20 = 8 centimeters.Rate this question:

A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:
-
14
-
33
-
19
-
38
Correct Answer
A. 14Explanation
The father's age at the time of the son's birth was 38 years. The father states that he was as old as the son is now at the time of the son's birth. This means that the son's current age is 38 years. If we subtract 5 years from the son's current age, we get the son's age five years back, which is 33 years. Therefore, the correct answer is 33.Rate this question:

Statement: A large number of people in ward X of the city are diagnosed to be suffering from a fatal malaria type.What Courses of action should be taken:
- .The city municipal authority should take immediate steps to carry out extensive fumigation in ward X.
- The people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites
-
Only I follows
-
Only 2 follows
-
Neither I nor II follows
-
Both I and II follow
Correct Answer
A. Both I and II followExplanation
The statement suggests that a large number of people in ward X are suffering from a fatal malaria type. Course of action I states that the city municipal authority should take immediate steps to carry out extensive fumigation in ward X. This action is necessary to eliminate the mosquitoes that are transmitting the malaria and prevent further spread of the disease. Course of action II suggests that the people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites. This is important because even with fumigation, it is crucial for individuals to protect themselves from mosquito bites to prevent contracting malaria. Therefore, both courses of action are necessary and should be implemented.Rate this question:
