4 practice questions on Logical Reasoning for APPSC Group I, with answers

Shishya's practice questions, written with AI. Each answer was checked by an automated second pass, not by a person.

1.In a certain code language, 'PAINT' is written as 'RCKPV'. How will 'BRUSH' be written in that code?
- (A)DTWUJ
- (B)DTVUJ
- (C)DTWTJ
- (D)CSWTI
Show the answer and solution
Answer: (A) DTWUJ
Solution: Each letter is shifted by +2 positions in the alphabet. P→R, A→C, I→K, N→P, T→V. Similarly, B→D, R→T, U→W, S→U, H→J. Therefore, BRUSH becomes DTWUJ.

3.Statement: All teachers are scholars. Some scholars are researchers. Conclusion I: All teachers are researchers. Conclusion II: Some researchers are scholars. Which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?
- (A)Only Conclusion I follows
- (B)Only Conclusion II follows
- (C)Both Conclusions I and II follow
- (D)Neither Conclusion I nor II follows
Show the answer and solution
Answer: (B) Only Conclusion II follows
Solution: Conclusion I does not follow because 'some scholars are researchers' does not mean all teachers (who are scholars) are researchers. Conclusion II follows directly from the statement 'some scholars are researchers' by conversion.
