SNSPA Admission Exam: 100 Practice Questions & Preparation Guide
Based on the available information, I have compiled 100 practice questions covering
the core subjects tested in SNSPA admission exams: Logic, History, and Economics.
The specific questions and subject distribution are based on standard preparation
materials for SNSPA .
Section 1: Logic & Critical Reasoning (Questions 1-40)
This section tests formal logic, argument analysis, and critical reasoning skills .
Question 1 (Categorical Propositions):
Determine the correct converse of the proposition "All students are hardworking."
A) All hardworking people are students.
B) No students are hardworking.
C) Some hardworking people are students.
D) Some students are not hardworking.
Answer: C) Some hardworking people are students.
Rationale: The converse of an A proposition ("All S are P") is an I proposition ("Some P
are S"). While not logically equivalent, the converse is valid in the sense that if all
students are in the hardworking group, then some hardworking people must be
students.

Question 2 (Categorical Propositions):
Identify the correct obverse of the proposition "No cats are dogs."
A) All cats are dogs.
B) No dogs are cats.
C) Some cats are not dogs.
D) All cats are non-dogs.
Answer: D) All cats are non-dogs.
Rationale: Obversion changes the quality of the proposition and replaces the predicate
with its complement. "No S are P" becomes "All S are non-P."
Question 3 (Relationships between propositions):
If the proposition "All politicians are honest" is assumed to be true, what is the status of
the proposition "Some politicians are honest"?
A) It is necessarily false.
B) It is undetermined.
C) It is necessarily true.
D) It is contradictory.
Answer: C) It is necessarily true.
Rationale: In classical logic, "All S are P" implies the subaltern "Some S are P." If the
universal affirmative is true, then the particular affirmative is also true, provided the
subject exists .
Question 4 (Syllogism):
Identify the conclusion that follows from the premises:
Premise 1: All humans are mortal.
Premise 2: Socrates is a human.
A) All mortals are Socrates.
B) Socrates is mortal.
C) Some mortals are not humans.
D) Socrates is not mortal.
, Page 3 of 38
Answer: B) Socrates is mortal.
Rationale: This is a classic example of a valid syllogism. Since Socrates belongs to the
category of 'humans', and all humans belong to the category of 'mortals', Socrates must
also belong to the 'mortals' category.
Question 5 (Formal Error):
What logical error is present in this argument: "If it rains, the grass is wet. The grass is
wet. Therefore, it rained."
A) Denying the Antecedent.
B) Affirming the Consequent.
C) Circular Reasoning.
D) Hasty Generalization.
Answer: B) Affirming the Consequent.
Rationale: This argument takes the form of "If P then Q. Q, therefore P." This is a formal
fallacy because the grass could be wet for other reasons (e.g., a sprinkler). The
conclusion does not follow necessarily.
Question 6 (Informal Fallacy):
A politician argues, "You can't trust my opponent because he was once accused of a
crime." What is the primary logical fallacy being committed?
A) Slippery Slope
B) Post Hoc
C) Ad Hominem
D) Straw Man
Answer: C) Ad Hominem.
Rationale: The argument attacks the person (the opponent) and his past accusation
rather than addressing the substance of his policies or arguments. This is a classic ad
hominem fallacy .
Question 7 (Analogies & Relationships):
Book is to Reading as Fork is to...
, Page 4 of 38
A) Eating
B) Food
C) Knife
D) Plate
Answer: A) Eating
Rationale: The primary purpose of a book is to facilitate reading, just as the primary
purpose of a fork is to facilitate eating. The relationship is about the function of the
object .
Question 8 (Compound Propositions):
What is the negation of the statement "It is raining or it is cold"?
A) It is not raining or it is not cold.
B) It is raining or it is not cold.
C) It is not raining and it is not cold.
D) It is raining and it is cold.
Answer: C) It is not raining and it is not cold.
Rationale: This is an application of De Morgan's Law. The negation of a disjunction ("P
or Q") is the conjunction of the negations ("not P and not Q").
Question 9 (Arguments):
Which of the following is a valid argument?
A) Some athletes are professionals. Therefore, all athletes are professionals.
B) If you study, you will pass. You did not study. Therefore, you will not pass.
C) All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are shapes. Therefore, all squares are
shapes.
D) All birds can fly. A penguin is a bird. Therefore, penguins can fly.
Answer: C) All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are shapes. Therefore, all squares
are shapes.
Rationale: The conclusion follows logically from the premises based on the rules of
syllogism. The other options are invalid or have false premises.
