Question 464

IB MTS 2025• Test

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

All crows are sparrows.

No crow is a peacock.

Conclusions:

(I) No sparrow is a peacock.

(II) Some peacocks are crows.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion (II) follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:

 

Conclusions:

(I) No sparrow is a peacock.- False (As their is no direct relation between sparrow and peacock,may be it is possible but not definite Hence, it is False).

(II) Some peacocks are crows.- False (As their is no direct relation between crows and peacock,may be it is possible but not definite Hence, it is False).

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Question 465

Answer: (d)D.

6

Why this answer is correct

'DEAL' is coded as '7298' and 'APEL' is coded as '2678'

'D E A L' - '7 2 9 8'

'A P E L' - '2 6 7 8'

Code for P is 6.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Question 466

    234

  4. DOption (d)

    236

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

236

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

  • 6 $\times 2 + 4 = 16$

6 × 2 + 4 = 16

  • 16 $\times 2 - 4 = 28$

16 × 2 − 4 = 28

  • 28 $\times 2 + 4 = 60$

28 × 2 + 4 = 60

  • 60 × 2 − 4 = 116
  • 116 × 2 + 4 = 236

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Question 468

IB MTS 2025• Test

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding to/subtracting from/multiplying with 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

    (26, 14, 264)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(24, 12, 144)

Why this answer is correct

The Logic follows here, 

Third number = (First number × Second number) / 2

  • 18 × 28 = 504

504 ÷ 2 = 252

  • 16 × 30 = 480

480 ÷ 2 = 240

​ Similarly,

(24, 12, 144)

  • 24 x 12 = 288
  • 288 ÷ 2 = 144.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option "
