4. Q4 · Syllogism

   Statements: All chairs are tables. Some tables are desks. No desk is a bench. Conclusions: I. Some chairs are desks. II. No bench is a table. Which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?

   • A. Only I
   • B. Only II
   • C. Both I and II
   • D. Neither I nor II
   Answer and solution

   Answer: D

   Conclusion I is not necessarily true because there is no direct link between chairs and desks. Conclusion II is also not necessarily true because only 'some tables are desks' and 'no desk is a bench' does not establish that no bench is a table.

5. Q5 · Cause & Effect

   Event I: Heavy rainfall in the catchment area. Event II: River water level rises significantly. Which of the following is correct?

   • A. Event I is the cause and Event II is the effect
   • B. Event II is the cause and Event I is the effect
   • C. Both events are independent
   • D. Both events are effects of a common cause
   Answer and solution

   Answer: A

   Heavy rainfall in the catchment area (Event I) directly causes the river water level to rise (Event II), establishing a clear cause-and-effect relationship.

6. Q6 · Paper Folding & Cutting

   A square transparent sheet with a pattern is folded once along the dotted line and then punched with a hole at a specific position. When the paper is unfolded, which pattern will the holes form? The original sheet has a circle at the top-left corner. After folding along the vertical center line and punching a triangular hole in the middle of the folded portion, what will the unfolded sheet look like?

   • A. Two triangular holes symmetrically placed with the circle at top-left
   • B. One triangular hole in the center with the circle at top-left
   • C. Two triangular holes on the left side only
   • D. One triangular hole on the right side with the circle at top-right
   Answer and solution

   Answer: A

   When a paper is folded along the vertical center and a hole is punched, the hole appears symmetrically on both halves when unfolded, creating two identical holes mirrored across the fold line.

7. Q7 · Social Intelligence

   • A. 144 J
   • B. 192 J
   • C. 96 J
   • D. 288 J
   Answer and solution
