If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? "Black haired people are kind. I have black hair. I am kind."
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
- C.
Neither True or False (No rational argument)
Correct Answer
C. Neither True or False (No rational argument)Explanation
The final statement cannot be determined as true based solely on the first two statements. While it is stated that black-haired people are kind and the person making the statement has black hair, there is no logical connection between having black hair and being kind. Therefore, the final statement cannot be deemed true or false without further evidence or reasoning.Rate this question:

After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 centimeters. How high (in centimeters) will it reach after its fourth bounce?
- A.
20
- B.
27
- C.
8
- D.
35
- E.
3.2
Correct Answer
C. 8Explanation
The ball reaches a height of 125 centimeters after the first bounce. Since the ball always bounces back to 2/5 of its previous height, after the first bounce, it will reach a height of 125 * 2/5 = 50 centimeters. After the second bounce, it will reach a height of 50 * 2/5 = 20 centimeters. After the third bounce, it will reach a height of 20 * 2/5 = 8 centimeters. Therefore, after the fourth bounce, it will also reach a height of 8 centimeters.Rate this question:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?
- A.
12days
- B.
15 days
- C.
16 days
- D.
10 days
Correct Answer
B. 15 daysExplanation
A can do the work alone in 20 days. On every third day, A is assisted by B and C. This means that A works alone for 2 days, and then works with B and C on the third day. Since B and C can complete the work in 30 and 60 days respectively, their combined efficiency is 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20. This means that on the third day, A's effective efficiency is doubled. Therefore, the work done by A in 3 days is equivalent to the work done by A alone in 6 days. So, in 15 days, A will complete the entire work.Rate this question:

A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:
- A.
14
- B.
33
- C.
19
- D.
38
Correct Answer
A. 14Explanation
When the father says "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth," it means that the age difference between the father and son is the same as the son's current age. If the father is currently 38 years old, then the son's age is 38 - 5 = 33 years. Therefore, the son's age five years back was 33 - 5 = 28 years. The correct answer is 14.Rate this question:
