  1. Officer Reyes can write 3 traffic citations in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many citations can she write in 2 hours?

    Answer: 24

    3 citations per 15 minutes equals 12 citations per hour; in 2 hours that is 24 citations.

  2. Some CHP officers are bilingual. All bilingual officers are assigned to border checkpoints. Officer Ruiz is assigned to a border checkpoint. What can be concluded?

    Answer: Officer Ruiz may or may not be bilingual

    Being assigned to a border checkpoint does not confirm bilingualism, because the premise only states 'some' officers there are bilingual.

  3. A sequence of badge numbers reads: 112, 116, 120, 124, ___. What is the next number?

    Answer: 128

    Each number increases by 4, so 124 + 4 = 128.

  4. At a crime scene, Officer Kim finds these clues: broken window (entry point), muddy footprints inside, and a missing laptop. Which conclusion is most logically supported?

    Answer: A burglar entered through the window and stole the laptop

    The combination of forced entry (broken window), footprints indicating movement inside, and a missing item most directly supports a burglary scenario.

  5. If all reckless drivers are cited, and Driver Thompson was not cited, what is the most logical conclusion?

    Answer: Driver Thompson was not driving recklessly

    By contrapositive reasoning, if all reckless drivers are cited and Thompson was not cited, Thompson was not reckless.

  6. Four suspects — W, X, Y, Z — are interviewed. W says X is lying. X says Y is telling the truth. Y says Z is lying. Z says W is telling the truth. If exactly one person is lying, who is it?

    Answer: Y

    If Y is the liar, then Z is actually truthful; Z says W is truthful, so W is truthful; W says X is lying, but X says Y tells the truth — which would be false if Y lies, making X a liar, contradicting our assumption of exactly one liar. Testing Y as liar: Y says Z lies (false, so Z tells truth), Z says W tells truth (so W tells truth), W says X lies (so X lies) — that's two liars (Y and X). Systematically, Z is the single liar: Z says W is truthful (false→Z lies), W says X is lying (true), X says Y tells truth (true), Y says Z is lying (true). Z is the one liar.

  7. A patrol unit responds to 5 calls per shift. If the unit works 6 shifts per week, how many calls does the unit respond to in a 4-week month?

    Answer: 120

    5 calls × 6 shifts = 30 calls per week × 4 weeks = 120 calls per month.
