  1. A report shows that crime decreased by 15% in District A after increased patrols, while District B (with no change in patrols) saw a 10% decrease. What is the most reasonable interpretation?

    Answer: Increased patrols may have contributed to an additional 5% decrease beyond the general trend

    Since District B (the control) also decreased by 10%, the baseline trend accounts for some reduction. The extra 5% in District A may be attributable to increased patrols.

  2. In a lineup, suspect positions are numbered 1 through 6. The witness says: 'The person was not in an odd-numbered position and was not in position 6.' Which position was the person in?

    Answer: Position 2 or 4

    Odd positions (1, 3, 5) are eliminated. Position 6 is also eliminated. That leaves positions 2 and 4.

  3. Sergeant Lee makes the following rule: 'If an officer works overtime, then they must file an overtime report by end of shift.' Officer Chen worked overtime but did not file a report. What can be concluded?

    Answer: Officer Chen violated the rule

    The rule applies to all officers who work overtime. Officer Chen worked overtime and did not file a report, which is a direct violation.

  4. Four witnesses give these statements: Witness 1: 'The car was blue.' Witness 2: 'The car was dark-colored.' Witness 3: 'The car was green.' Witness 4: 'The car was not light-colored.' Which pair of statements is most consistent?

    Answer: Witnesses 2 and 4

    Witnesses 2 ('dark-colored') and 4 ('not light-colored') convey essentially the same information without contradicting each other.

  5. A pattern shows: circle, square, triangle, circle, square, triangle, circle, __. What shape comes next?

    Answer: Square

    The pattern repeats every three shapes: circle, square, triangle. After the seventh element (circle), the next is square.

  6. If it takes 3 officers to secure a small scene and 7 officers to secure a large scene, how many officers are needed to simultaneously secure 2 small scenes and 1 large scene?

    Answer: 13

    Two small scenes require 2 x 3 = 6 officers. One large scene requires 7. Total: 6 + 7 = 13.
