Answers

  1. Correct Answer: B – Speed cameras are unlikely to significantly reduce accidents if the primary cause is poor road conditions. Other proposed solutions fail to address this fundamental issue.
  2. Correct Answer: A – East and west movements cancel out. Only 3 km north remains.
  3. Correct Answer: C – Without students using the textbooks, free distribution cannot improve performance. The other options are not valid assumptions as per the statement.
  4. Correct Answer: B – Each letter is shifted one step forward in the alphabet.
  5. Correct Answer: D – Improved blood flow directly supports better concentration.
  6. Correct Answer: C – initial number×2 +1 → 39×2 +1 = 79
  7. Correct Answer: A – Lower attendance suggests reduced engagement. Other options are unsupported assumptions.
  8. Correct Answer: B
  9. Correct Answer: C
  10. Correct Answer: B – A knife is used for cutting; similarly, a pen is used for writing.
  11. Correct Answer: B – Fatigue directly reduces productivity, weakening the claim.
  12. Correct Answer: D – North and south cancel; only 6 km east remains.
  13. Correct Answer: C
  14. Correct Answer: D – Airplane is the only air transport; others are land transport.
  15. Correct Answer: D – Reduced travel time improves work-life balance and leads to greater job satisfaction.
