14
21
2
42
42 is the correct answer since it is the largest number that is a factor of all three numbers given. You can find the
greatest common factor by writing out the prime factorization of all three numbers and then taking each of the
common prime factors to the lowest power that appears for that factor: 42 = 2 × 3 × 7; 126 = 2 × 3^2 × 7; and 210 = 2
× 3 × 5 × 7. So the greatest common factor is 2 × 3 × 7 = 42.

29. A herd of cows gives 4 liters of milk each day. But each cow gives one-third of total milk each day. They give 24
liters milk in six days. How many cows are there in the herd?
2
4
5
3
A herd of cows gives 4 liters of milk each day.
Each cow gives one-third of total milk each day = 1/3 of 4
Therefore, each cow gives 4/3 of milk each day.
Total no. of cows = 4 ÷ 4/3
=4×¾
=3
Therefore there are 3 cows in the herd.
30. Sales for a business were 3 million dollars more the second year than the first, and sales for the third year were
double the sales for the second year. If sales for the third year were 38 million dollars, what were sales, in millions of
dollars, for the first year?
16
17.5
22
20.5
f x = sales for the first year, then x + 3 = sales for the second year. Since sales for the third year were double the
sales for the second year, sales for the third year = 2(x + 3). Sales for the third year were 38, so 2(x + 3) = 38. To
solve this equation, you could first divide each side by 2 to get x + 3 = 19. Then, by subtracting 3 from both sides, x =
16.
31. A DVD player with a list price of ₱100 is marked down 30%. If John gets an employee discount of 20% off the
sale price, how much does John pay for the DVD player ?
₱44.00
₱56.00
₱77.60
₱86.00
100(0.70) = 70 is the amount that would be paid if the DVD was marked down 30%, but there is another discount of
20%, so the price is going to be 80% of the marked-down price. The price will be 70(0.80) = 56.
32. One half of the students in a school are girls, 3/5 of these girls are studying in lower classes. What fraction of girls
are studying in lower classes?
2/10
3/4
2/4
3/10
Fraction of girls studying in school = 1/2
Fraction of girls studying in lower classes = 3/5 of 1/2
= 3/5 × 1/2
= 3 × 1/5 × 2
= 3/10
Therefore, 3/10 of girls studying in lower classes.
33. An instrument store gives a 10% discount to all students off the original cost of an instrument. During a back to
school sale an additional 15% is taken off the discounted price. Julie, a student at the local high school, purchases a
flute for ₱306. How much did it originally cost?
₱325
₱350
₱450
₱400
The equation, x-0.10x-0.15(x-0.10x)=306, may be used to solve the problem. Solving for x gives 0.90x - 0.15x +
0.015x = 306, where x = 400. Thus, the original price was ₱400.
35. Sarah is twice as old as her youngest brother. If the difference between their ages is 15 years. How old is her
youngest brother?
10
25
15
20
The following system of equations may be used to solve the problem: (s=2b@s-b=15). Substituting 2b for s, in the
second equation, gives: 2b - b = 15, where b = 15. The younger brother is 15 years old.
36. You are lying 120 ft away from a tree that is 50 feet tall. You look up at the top of the tree. Approximately how far
is your hear from the top of the tree in a straight line?
130 feet
120 feet
50 feet
75 feet
The distance may be determined by writing and solving the following equation for c: 502+1202=c2. c = 130, thus the
distance is 130 feet.
37. How many irrational numbers are there between 1 and 6 ?
3

This is the correct response. If you chose this answer, you know 1 and 6 are real numbers and that there are an
infinite number of irrational numbers between any two real numbers.
38. A typical high school student consumes 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. As part of a new nutrition plan, each
member of a track team plans to lower the sugar he or she consumes by at least 20% for the coming year. Assuming
each track member had consumed sugar at the level of a typical high school student and will adhere to this plan for
the coming year, what is the maximum number of pounds of sugar to be consumed by each track team member in
the coming year?
66
44
48
54
54 is the correct answer. For each member of the track team to consume 20% less sugar, the track member will
consume 100% – 20% = 80% of the level of a typical high school student. 80% of 67.5 = 0.80(67.5) = 54.
39. If you purchase two stamps costing 60 centavos each and you give the cashier ₱2.00, how much change should

the gas would cost for this car to travel 2,727 typical miles?
$408.4
$109.08
$44.44
$444.40
If you divide 2,727 miles by 27 miles per gallon you will get the number of gallons: 2727/27 = 101. Then, multiply the
number of gallons by the cost per gallon: 101(4.04) = 408.04. This gives the cost of gas for this car to travel 2,727
typical miles.
42. What will it cost to tile a kitchen floor that is 12 feet wide by 20 feet long if the tile cost ₱8.91 per square yard?
₱246.55
₱224.51
₱271.38
₱237.60
Converting feet to yards, the dimensions may be rewritten as 4 yards by 6 2/3 yards. Thus, the area of the floor is 26
2/3 yd'. Multiplication of this area by the cost per square yard gives the expression, 26 2/3?8.91, which equals 237.6.
Thus, the cost is ₱237.60.
43. Which fraction is equal to 0.20%?
1/500

much of your original hair color is left?
3/4
5/6
4/6
4/5
We first need to find out what fraction of your hair is dyed, by adding 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/4.
Our common denominator will be 12, so 4/12 + 3/12 + 3/12 = 10/12 = 5/6 .
That means that you have colored 5/6 of your hair.

Answer=> 75/10 or 7.5
5. John can build a wall in 30 days and Peter can demolish the same wall in 40 days.If they work on alternate days
with John starting the job on the 1st day , then in how many days will the wall be built for the first time?
265
256
234
233
240
Explanation: John can build a wall in 30 days and Peter can demolish the same wall in 40 days
So, in ONE day, John can build 1/30 of the entire wall
And, in ONE day, Peter can demolish 1/40 of the entire wall
So, AFTER TWO DAYS, the portion of the wall standing = 1/30 - 1/40 = 1/120
So, AFTER TWO DAYS, 1/120 of the wall is built (and remains standing)
So, after FOUR DAYS, 2/120 of the wall is built (and remains standing)
And after SIX DAYS, 3/120 of the wall is built (and remains standing)
And after 232 DAYS, 116/120 of the wall is built (and remains standing)
On DAY 233, it's John's turn to build.
Remember that, in ONE day, John can build 1/30 of the entire wall
In other words, in ONE day, John can build 4/120 of the entire wall
So, after 232 DAYS, 116/120 of the wall was built, and on the 233rd day, John built the remaining 4/120 of the wall.
So, WALL COMPLETE!!
Answer: 233
6. Presently, Fred is 4 times as old as Gary. In 10 years, Fred will be 3 times as old as Gary. How old (in years) will
Fred be in 3 years?
35
50
83
62
75
Present age of Fred be = F years and Gary's = G years
therefore;
F = 4G
In 10 years;
F+10 = 3(G +10)
or G = 20 years which is Gray's present age
Therefore F = 20 * 4 = 80 years which is the present age (since we know F = 4G)
In 3years Fred will be = 80 +3 = 83 year

8. If a Play Station 4 was bought for $558 after a 10% discount, what was the original price of the Play Station 4?
$550
$660
$700
$680
$620
Explanation: Step 1:
Let the original price be = x
Discount rate = 10%
Step 2:
Discount = 10% of x = 0.10 × x = 0.1x
Sale price = Original price − Discount = x − 0.1x = 0.9x
Step 3:
Sale price = $558 = 0.9x
Solving for x
x = ⁵⁵⁸/₀.₉ = $620
So, original price = $620

11. Mary has a monthly salary of $1200. She spends $280 per month on food. What percent of her monthly salary
does she spend on food?
35%
25%
30%
23%
27%
The part of her salary that is spent on food is $280 out of her monthly salary of $1200
percent = part / whole = 280 / 1200 = 0.23 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Multiply and divide 0.23 by 100 to convert in percent
percent = 0.23 * 100 / 100 = 23 / 100 = 23%

16. Five out of every seven households have cable TV. If 42,000 households in a certain city
have a TV, how many do not have cable TV?
16,000
14,500
13,000
15,000
12,000
Explanation: The given ratio is 5 cable TV/ 7 households.
equation: 5 cable TV = x cable TV

7 household 42000 household
solve: 5(42000) = 7x
30000 = x
In the proportion the variable represents how many have cable TV. However, the question asks
how many do not have cable TV. Do not assume that once you solve the equation you have
answered the question.
Total household with TV - have cable = do not have cable
42000 - 30000 = 12000
Out of the 42,000 households that have a TV, 12000 do not have cable TV.
17. Maria is retired and withdraws money from her retirement account. But a tax of 20% is
automatically withheld. If she needs $1200, how much must she actually request?
$1,500
$1,700
$1,650
$1,800
$1,450
Since 20% will be withheld, Maria will receive 80% of her request. So the question is: $1200 is
80% of how much?
80 : 100 = 4 : 5 = 1200 : ?
4 has been multiplied by 300. Therefore, 5 must be multiplied by 300:
4 : 5 =1200 : 1500.
$1200 is 80% of $1500
18. A desk is being sold at a 36% discount. The sale price is $496. What was its original price?
$650
$800
$950
$575
$775
Explanation: Step 1:
Let the original price be = x
Discount rate = 36%
Step 2:
Discount = 36% of x = 0.36 × x = 0.36x
Sale price = Original price − Discount = x − 0.36x = 0.64x
Step 3:
Sale price = $496 = 0.64x
Solving for x
x = ⁴⁹⁶/₀.₆₄= $775
So, original price = $775
19. A coat was sold at a 30% discount sale for $140. What was the original price of the coat?
$350
$230
$400
$200
$180
Let x = the original price of the coat
A coat was sold at a 30% discount sale for $140
Another way to state this is to say that, during the sale, people paid 70% of the original price
That is: 70% of x = $140
Or: 0.7x = 140
Solve to get: x = 140/0.7 = 200
Answer: $200
20. If a watch is losing 1.5 minutes for every 12 hours that go by, how many minutes will it lose
in one week?
24
22
23
21
26
The given ratio is 1.5 minutes / 12 hours.
equation: 1.5 minutes = x minutes
12 hours 1 week
Note: We need to convert 1 week to hours because the units must be the same.
use: 24 hours = 1 day, 7 days = 1 week,
therefore: 1 week = 168 hours (24∙ 7)
equation: 1.5 minutes = x minutes
12 hours 168 hours
solve: 1.5(168) = 12x
21 = x
The watch will lose 21 minutes in one week.

of the price of the shirt?
45%
20%
30%
30%
25%
The absolute decrease is:
20 - 15 = $5
The percent decrease is the absolute decrease divided by the original price (part/whole).
percent decease = 5 / 20 = 0.25
Multiply and divide 0.25 to obtain percent.
percent decease = 0.25 = 0.25 * 100 / 100 = 25 / 100 = 25%

m/s?
1.55
1.12
1.21
1.66
1.33
Let us take the distance traveled till now as d
So, d= 5/7 * (24-d)
which gives d=10 km = 10000 m
1hr40min = 100*60 seconds
s=d/t = 10000/100*60 = 1.66
31. An item that regularly sells for $425 is marked down to $318.75. What is the discount rate?
35%
45%
40%
30%
25%
First, find the amount of the markdown:
425 – 318.75 = 106.25
Then calculate "the markdown over the original price", or the markdown rate: ($106.25) is (some
percent) of ($425), so:
106.25 = (x)(425)
...and the relative markdown over the original price is:
x = 106.25 ÷ 425 = 0.25
Answer= 25%

the next 5 years. What will Leonardo's height be when Leonardo turns 14?
1.50 m
1.40 m
1.30 m
1.6 m
1.75 m
Explanation:The correct answer is 1.50 m. This can be calculated as follows:
1.20 m + (5 years * 0.06 m/year) = 1.20 m + 0.30 m = 1.50 m.
34. An executive drove from home at an average speed of 30 mph to an airport where a
helicopter was waiting. The executive boarded the helicopter and flew to the corporate offices at
an average speed of 60 mph. The entire distance was 150 miles; the entire trip took three
hours.
Find the distance from the airport to the corporate offices.
150 miles
200 miles
120 miles
130 miles
180 miles
Explanation: Since we have been asked to find the distance from the airport to the corporate
office (that is the distance he spent flying), let us assign that specific value as 'x'.
Thus, the distance he spent driving will be '150 - x'
Now, in the first row, we have the distance in terms of 'x' and we have been given the speed.
Thus we can calculate the time he spent driving in terms of 'x'.
Time(1) = Distance(1)/Speed(1) = (150 - x)/30
Similarly, in the second row, we again have the distance in terms of 'x' and we have been given
the speed. Thus we can calculate the time he spent flying in terms of 'x'.
Time(2) = Distance(2)/Speed(2) = x/60
Now, notice that we have both the times in terms of 'x'. Also, we know the total time for the trip.
Thus, summing the individual times spent driving and flying and equating it to the total time, we
can solve for 'x'.
Time(1) + Time(2) = Time(3) --> (150 - x)/30 + x/60 = 3 --> x = 120 miles
Answer : 120 miles
35. Two kinds of Vodka are mixed in the ratio 1:2 and 2:1 and they are sold fetching the profit
10% and 20% respectively. If the vodkas are mixed in equal ratio and the individual profit
percent on them are increased by 4/3 and 5/3 times respectively, then the mixture will fetch the
profit of:
21%
23%
20%
Cannot be determined
18%
Explanation: The profit on the first kind of vodka = x%;
The profit on the second kind of vodka = y%.
When they are mixed in the ratio 1:2 (total of 3 parts) the average profit is 10%: (x + 2y)/3 = 10.
When they are mixed in the ratio 2:1 (total of 3 parts) the average profit is 20%: (2x + y)/3 = 20.
Solving gives: x = 30% and y = 0%.
After the individual profit percent on them are increased by 4/3 and 5/3 times respectively the
profit becomes 40% and 0%, on the first and te second kinds of vodka, respectively.
If they are mixed in equal ratio (1:1), then the mixture will fetch the profit of (40 + 0)/2 = 20%.
Answer: 20%
36. A rug manufacturer produces rugs at a cost of ₱75 per rug. What is the manufacturer's
gross profit from the sale of 150 rugs if 2/3 of the rugs are sold for ₱150 per rug and the rest are
sold for ₱200 per rug?
₱ 16,250
₱ 13,750
₱ 17,800
₱ 11,250
₱ 10,350
Explanation: Total production cost = 150*75 = 11250
Selling price of the 2/3 of 150 rugs = 100 * 150 =- 15000
Selling price of 50 rugs = 50*200 =10000
Total sales = 10000 + 15000 = 25000
Gross profit = 25000 - 11250 = 13750
Answer= ₱ 13,750

1-30 Identifying Assumptions and Conclusions Test
1.Statement: It will be a substantial achievement in the field of education if one provides one school for every village
in our country and enforce attendance.
Assumptions:
I. Children in villages do not attend school regularly.
II. Providing school to every village is desirable.
Either I or II is implicit
Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Explanation: The statement lays stress on enforcing attendance. This implies that children in villages do not attend
school regularly. So, I is implicit. Besides, the statement calls 'one school for every village' a 'substantial
achievement'. So, II is also implicit.
2. Gigi is probably a pianist. She can really stretch her hands and fingers.
ASSUMPTION:
Pianists can really stretch their hands and fingers.
Playing the piano helps Gigi stretch her hands and fingers.
A long stretch enables pianists to reach more keys on the piano.
Only people with big hands and long fingers can be pianists.

The number of criminals apprehended by this constable was exceptionally high.
4. Although many doubts have been raised as to the accuracy of age estimation for a recently found artifact, all this
criticism has no grounds. To estimate the age of the artifact, archaeologists used a radiocarbon dating method known
to be highly accurate is estimating the age of organic materials.
ASSUMPTION:
Some of the scientists who doubt the accuracy of the age estimations are very young.
Written records report that artifacts similar to the one recently found were being used at the time indicated by
radiocarbon dating method.
The recently uncovered artifact is made of organic material.
Modern dating methods are generally more accurate than older dating methods.
Radiocarbon dating cannot accurately estimate the age of objects and materials that are more than 60,000 years old.
5. Sarah: Most parents are eager for their preschoolers to learn as much as possible. However, instead of providing
general opportunities for their children to learn, parents often direct their children’s learning to their own personal
concerns. Because children have a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge, they learn an enormous amount simply
through growing and adapting to the world. Therefore, this type of directed learning is unlikely to improve a child’s
preschool education.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which Sarah's argument depends?
Children will have difficulty adapting to the world without the unique help and guidance of their parents.
Parents who use the type of directed learning in question have been exposed to misguided psychological theories
about children.
The type of directed learning in question is likely to enhance the general opportunities for children to learn.
General opportunities to learn are not typical of the early years of formal education.
The type of directed learning in question is not a necessary part of the process of growing and adapting to the world.
6. Statement: "You are hereby appointed as a programmer with a probation period of one year and your performance
will be reviewed at the end of the period for confirmation." - A line in an appointment letter.
Assumptions:
I. The performance of an individual generally is not known at the time of appointment offer.
II. Generally an individual tries to prove his worth in the probation period.
Explanation: The performance of the individual has to be tested over a span of time as the statement mentions. So, I
is implicit. The statement mentions that the individual's worth shall be reviewed (during probation period) before
confirmation. So, II is also implicit.
7. Diamond Enterprises is a store in Apisville that sells specialty luxury items. For several years, Diamond reaped
substantial profits and was considering building branch stores in nearby counties. Stibium Industries, for several
years the single largest employer in Apisville and the surrounding region, abruptly closed its plant last year, causing
widespread unemployment. Only a fraction of the former Stibium workers have found new jobs, and many of these at
much lower wages. Early this year, Diamond Enterprises has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing the closure of
Stibium as one of the primary causes.
Which of the following conclusion is best supported by the passage?
a. Stibium’s management team had a corporate account with Diamond Enterprises, and ordered several luxury items
used in business meetings and to entertain prospective clients.
b. After Stibium Industry closed, Diamond Enterprises was the single largest employer in Apisville.
c. Diamond’s direct competitors, in Apisville and in the surrounding region, are much larger than Diamond, and
therefore benefitted substantially from the conditions that arose after Stibium closed.
d. Diamond Enterprises would have avoided bankruptcy if it had followed through with the plan to build branch stores
during its more prosperous years.
e. The closure of Stibium resulted in a loss of revenue for Diamond Enterprises.
8. To decrease the number of crimes in Manila, the Manila Police District (MPD) chief proposed taking some police
officers from low-crime districts of the city and moving them to high-crime districts of the city. His proposal is based
on MPD’s crime data that show that the number of crimes in any district of the city decreases when additional police
officers are moved into that district.
The chief’s proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?
The number of crimes committed in all high-crime districts of Manila is more than triple the number of crimes
committed in all low-crime districts of the city.
There are more low-crime districts than high-crime districts in the city of Manila.
Pasay City experienced a drastic reduction in crime after implementing a proposal similar to that proposed by the
Manila Police District chief.
The severity of crimes committed in any district of the city decreases when additional police officers are moved into
that district.
Districts of the city from which police officers are removed do not experience significant crime increases shortly after
the removal of those officers.
9. Until now, only injectable vaccines against influenza have been available. Parents are reluctant to subject children
to the pain of injections, but adults, who are at risk of serious complications from influenza, are commonly vaccinated.
A new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children. However, since children
seldom develop serious complications from influenza, no significant public health benefit would result from
widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
Adults do not contract influenza primarily from children who have influenza.
The nasal spray vaccine is not effective when administered to adults.
The new vaccine uses the same mechanism to ward off influenza as injectable vaccines do.
Any person who has received the injectable vaccine can safely receive the nasal-spray vaccine as well.
The injectable vaccine is affordable for all adults.
10. The principal at Northridge High School noticed that scores on math tests were lower this year than in previous
years. This year, all students took math courses during the first period of the school day; in years past, they had
taken math during the final period of the day. Reasoning that the students perform better on math tests when they
are fully awake, the headmaster concluded that test scores would be higher if math classes were moved to the end of
the day.
The principal’s reasoning depends upon which of the following assumptions?
Several schools similar to Northridge High School hold math classes in the afternoon.
Students are more likely to be fully awake during the final period of the day than they are during the first period of the
day.
It would be possible to reconfigure the school’s schedule to accommodate having math classes in the afternoon.
The quality of the teaching has little bearing on test scores.
This year the math department started using new, unfamiliar curricular materials.
11. Although parapsychology is often considered a pseudoscience, it is in fact a genuine scientific enterprise, for it
uses scientific methods such as controlled experiments and statistical tests of clearly stated hypotheses to examine
the questions it raises.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above?
Since parapsychology uses scientific methods, it will produce credible results.
Since parapsychology raises clearly statable questions, they can be tested in controlled experiments.
Any field of study that employs scientific methods is a genuine scientific enterprise.
If a field of study can conclusively answer the questions it raises, then it is a genuine science.
Any enterprise that does not use controlled experiments and statistical tests is not genuine science.
12. Increases in the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the human bloodstream lower bloodstream cholesterol
levels by increasing the body’s capacity to rid itself of excess cholesterol. Levels of HDL in the bloodstream of some
individuals are significantly increased by a program of regular exercise and weight reduction.
CONCLUSION:
Individuals who are underweight do not run any risk of developing high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
A program of regular exercise and weight reduction lowers cholesterol levels in the bloodstream of some individuals.
Exercise and weight reduction are the most effective methods of lowering bloodstream cholesterol levels in humans.
Only regular exercise is necessary to decrease cholesterol levels in the bloodstream of individuals of average weight.
Individuals who do not exercise regularly have a high risk of developing high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream
late in life.
13. Statements: Population increase coupled with depleting resources is going to be the scenario of many developing
countries in days to come.
Conclusions:
I. The population of developing countries will not continue to increase in future.
II. It will be very difficult for the governments of developing countries to provide its people decent quality of life.
Neither I nor II follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Both I and II follow
Only conclusion I follows
Explanation: The fact given in I is quite contrary to the given statement. So, I does not follow. II mentions the direct
implications of the state discussed in the statement. Thus, II follows.
14. Statements: The old order changed yielding place to new.
Conclusions:
I. Change is the law of nature.
II. Discard old ideas because they are old.
Either I or II follows
Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Explanation: Clearly, I directly follows from the given statement. Also, it is mentioned that old ideas are replaced by
new ones, as thinking changes with the progressing time. So, II does not follow.
15. Statement: It is desirable to put the child in school at the age of 5 or so.
Assumptions:
I. At that age the child reaches appropriate level of development and is ready to learn.
II. The schools do not admit children after six years of age.
Explanation: Since the statement talks of putting the child in school at the age of 5, it means that the child is mentally
prepared for the same at this age. So, I is implicit. But nothing about admission after 6 years of age is mentioned in
the statement. So, II is not implicit.

Some students at this school who did not have a 4.0 also did not have perfect attendance.
No student at this school has perfect attendance for the year.
No student at this school qualifies for the award this year.
Many students have achieved perfect attendance but never 4.0 GPAs.
Alex is the only student who could be considered for the award.
19. Increases in levels of mercury in the human heart increase toxicity by decreasing the body’s natural ability to
purge those extra toxins. Levels of mercury in the hearts of some individuals may rise as a result of eating an
excessive amount of mercury-rich fish such as swordfish.
Which of the following is a correct conclusion that can be drawn from the information provided?
Only abstaining from mercury-rich fish is necessary to lower toxicity levels in the bloodstreams of individuals of
average weight.
Abstaining from mercury-rich fish altogether is the most effective method of lowering toxicity.
Individuals who avoid eating mercury-rich fish face no risk of increasing toxins in the bloodstream.
An abundance of mercury-rich fish will increase toxins in the bloodstreams of some people.
Individuals who do not eat mercury-rich fish regularly will have a lower risk of developing increased toxicity in their
bloodstreams as they age.
20. In recent years many cabinetmakers have been winning acclaim as artists. But since furniture must be useful,
cabinetmakers must exercise their craft with an eye to the practical utility of their product. For this reason,
cabinetmaking is not art.

Artists are not concerned with the monetary value of their products.
Some furniture is made to be placed in museums, where it will not be used by anyone.

Cabinetmakers should be more concerned with the practical utility of their products than they currently are.
Some cabinetmakers are more concerned than others with the practical utility of the products they produce.
21. Although there has been great scientific debate for decades over global warming, most scientists now agree that
human activity is causing the Earth’s temperature to rise. Though predictions vary, many global warming experts
believe that average global temperatures will rise between three and eight degrees Fahrenheit during the next
century. Such an increase would cause an alarming rise in sea levels, displacing millions of people by destroying
major population centers along the world’s coastlines.
Which of the following is an assumption in support of the argument’s conclusion?
New technological developments in the next century will not divert rising seas from the world’s coastal cities.
Rising sea levels similarly affect all coastal population centers.
Individuals will not become more aware of the steps they can take to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
Human activity is the sole cause of increasing global temperatures.
Some global warming experts predict a greater than eight degree Fahrenheit increase in global temperatures during
the next century.

Also, detergents should be used as they clean clothes better and more easily. So, II is implicit.
26. Researchers studying the spread of the Black Plague in sixteenth-century England claim that
certain people survived the epidemic because they carried a genetic mutation, known as Delta-
32, that is known to prevent the bacteria that causes the Plague from overtaking the immune
system. To support this hypothesis, the researchers tested the direct descendants of the
residents of an English town where an unusually large proportion of people survived the Plague.
More than half of these descendants tested positive for the mutation Delta-32, a figure nearly
three times higher than that found in other locations.
The researchers' hypothesis is based on which of the following assumptions?
The Plague is not similar to other diseases caused by bacteria.
Delta-32 does not prevent a carrier from contracting any disease other than the Plague.
The Plague does not cause genetic mutations such as Delta-32.
Delta-32 did not exist in its current form until the sixteenth century.
No one who tested positive for Delta-32 has ever contracted a disease caused by bacteria.
27. DOH Secretary: After several years of vaccinating all of the citizens of this country for
Tacitus’ Disease, a highly infectious virus, state hospitals have cut costs by no longer
administering this vaccine, starting at the beginning of this year. A senator defended the
position, arguing that after several years with zero incidence of the disease in the country, its
citizens were no longer at risk. This is a flawed argument. Our country imports meats and
produce from countries with high incidences of diseases for which our country has vaccines.
Three years ago, when we reduced the use of the Salicetiococcus vaccines, a small outbreak of
Salicetiococcus among young children, fortunately without fatalities, encouraged us to resume
use of the previous vaccines.
The DOH Secretary’s statements, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion?
The cost of providing all citizens with the Tacitus’ Disease vaccine places an undue burden on
the budget of the country's health agencies.
Young children of the state will be at risk for Tacitus’ Disease.
Tacitus’ Disease is a much deadlier disease than Salicetiococcus, and has a correspondingly
higher fatality rate.
No food products produced within the country bear any contaminants that could lead to either
Tacitus’ Disease or Salicetiococcus.
Some of the meats imported to this country do not have adequate refrigeration during the
shipping process.
28. Randall: Many of the productions of my plays by amateur theater groups are poorly done,
and such interpretations do not provide a true measure of my skills as a dramatist.
Which of the following conclusion is best supported by Randall’s statement?
At least some amateur theatrical groups’ productions of Randall’s plays fail to provide a true
measure of his skills as a dramatist.
All amateur theater group productions of Randall’s plays that are not poorly done provide a true
measure of his skills as a dramatist.
If a production of a dramatist’s play is well done, then it provides a true measure of his or her
skills as a dramatist.
Some amateur theater groups’ productions of Randall’s plays provide a true measure of his
skills as a dramatist.
All of the productions of Randall’s plays by amateur theater groups that do not provide a true
measure of his skills as a dramatist are poorly done.

1-30 Logical Reasoning Practice Test (Civil Service Exam)
1. When they heard news of the typhoon, Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans.
Instead of traveling to the island beach resort, they booked a room at a fancy new spa in the mountains.
Their plans were a bit more expensive, but they'd heard wonderful things about the spa and they were
relieved to find availability on such short notice.
Maya and Julian take beach vacations every year.
The spa is overpriced.
It is usually necessary to book at least six months in advance at the spa.
Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane.
Explanation: The first sentence makes this statement true. There is no support for choice a. The
passage tells us that the spa vacation is more expensive than the island beach resort vacation, but
that doesn't necessarily mean that the spa is overpriced; therefore, choice b cannot be supported.
And even though the paragraph says that the couple was relieved to find a room on short notice,
there is no information to support choice c, which says that it is usually necessary to book at the spa
at least six months in advance.
