Parts
Assume the two statements are true. Does the conclusion follow?
Tip: Quickly draw two or three circles (Venn) on paper. Look for one drawing in which the statements hold but the conclusion does not: then the answer is “cannot say”.
Solve the word problems. No calculator: use pen and paper.
Tip: First write the sum out in words (“new = old × 0.85”). Only round at the end. For VAT: price including ÷ 1.21 = price excluding.
Find the rules in the rows and columns and choose the missing figure (bottom right).
Tip: Find three rules separately: count the dots (left to right or top to bottom), follow the tip of the figure (rotation) and see how the colour moves. Check your answer in both the row and the column.
