"Critical Reasoning Test 2: 8 Questions
Instructions: Answer as many questions as you can in 20 minutes. Circle the letter on the right which corresponds to the correct answer.

  1. Ian paid more for his car than did Simon.
    Simon paid less for his car than did Hubert.
    Peter paid more for his car than did Sarah.
    Sarah paid the same amount for her car as did Hubert.

If the above information is true, which of the following must also be true?
A) Ian paid more for his car than did Peter.
B) Sarah paid less for her car than did Simon.
C) Simon paid less for his car than did Peter.
D) Ian paid more for his car than did Hubert.
E) Sarah paid less for her car than did Ian."

Bu soruyu mantıksal olarak analiz edebiliriz:

  • Ian, Simon’dan fazla ödeme yaptı.
  • Simon, Hubert’ten daha az ödeme yaptı (bu yüzden Hubert, Simon’dan fazla ödeme yaptı).
  • Peter, Sarah’dan daha fazla ödeme yaptı.
  • Sarah ile Hubert aynı miktarda ödeme yaptı.

Bunlar doğru olduğunda, kesinlikle doğru olan ifade:
C seçeneği: Simon, Peter’dan daha az ödeme yaptı. Çünkü Simon, Hubert’ten daha az ödemiş, ve Hubert ile Sarah aynı miktarda ödemiş. Sarah ise Peter’dan daha az ödemiş, dolayısıyla Peter, Sarah’dan ve Hubert’ten ve de Simon’dan fazla ödemiştir.

Bu nedenle, sorunun cevabı C seçeneğidir: “Simon paid less for his car than did Peter.”
