  1. If all roses are flowers and some flowers fade quickly, which statement must be true?

    Answer: Some roses may or may not fade quickly

    Since only 'some' flowers fade quickly and roses are flowers, we cannot determine whether roses specifically fade quickly or not.

  2. In a row of children, Amir is 8th from the left and Sana is 12th from the right. If they exchange positions, Amir becomes 15th from the left. How many children are in the row?

    Answer: 26

    After exchange, Amir is at Sana's position (15th from left). Sana was 12th from right. Total = 15 + 12 - 1 = 26.

  3. If COMPUTER is coded as DPNQVUFS, how is LAPTOP coded?

    Answer: MBQUPQ

    Each letter is shifted by +1 in the alphabet: L→M, A→B, P→Q, T→U, O→P, P→Q = MBQUPQ.

  4. Which number replaces the question mark? 3, 9, 27, 81, ?

    Answer: 243

    Each number is multiplied by 3: 3×3=9, 9×3=27, 27×3=81, 81×3=243.

  5. Five friends - Ali, Bilal, Cyrus, Danish, and Ehsan - are sitting in a circle. Ali is between Bilal and Ehsan. Cyrus is to the left of Bilal. Who is to the right of Ehsan?

    Answer: Danish

    Arrangement: Cyrus-Bilal-Ali-Ehsan-Danish (clockwise). Danish is to the right of Ehsan.

  6. If Monday falls on the 1st of a month, what day will the 23rd of that month be?

    Answer: Tuesday

    From the 1st to the 23rd is 22 days. 22 ÷ 7 = 3 weeks + 1 day. So the 23rd is Tuesday.
