No. 5-1 SECTION 6
Questions 1-5
Because of a computer malfunction, an accountant cannot directly determine the classification of certain accounts. Each account falls into one of five classifica- tions: type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, or type 5. The accountant hopes to be able to determine the classifica- tion of these accounts by tracing which operations the computer has performed on them. There are exactly four operations: W, X, Y, and Z. No operation can be performed more than once on a given account, and the operations were performed, without exception, according to the following rules:
If an account is a type 1, the computer performs either operation W or, alternatively, opera- tion X.
If the account is a type 2, the computer performs either operation X alone or, alternatively, opera- tion X and any one of the remaining operations except W.
If an account is a type 3, the computer performs either operation Y alone or, alternatively, opera- tion Y and one of the remaining operations
If an account is a type 4, the computer performs exactly two operations in any combination except that X cannot be one of the two operations.
If an account is a type 5, the computer performs exactly three operations in any combination drawn from the four operations.
1. If the accountant knows that the computer has per- formed exactly one operation on an account, which of the following must be true?
(A) The account is either a type 1 or a type 2.
(B) The account is either a type 1, type 2, or a type 3.
(C) The account is either a type 2, a type 3, or a type 5.
(D) The account is either a type 2, a type 4, or a type 5.
(E) The account is either a type 3, a type 4, or a type 5.
2. If the accountant knows that the computer has performed operation Z on an account but cannot determine solely from traces in the account whether any other operation has been performed, the account could be any one of the five types EXCEPT type
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5
3. Which type of account, if operated on by the com- puter, must have operation X performed on it?
(A) Type 1 (B) Type 2 (C) Type 3
(D) Type 4 (E) Type 5
4. If the accountant knows that operations X and Z are the only operations that have been per- formed on an account, the account must be a type
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5
5. If the accountant knows that the computer has per- formed exactly two operations on a given account, and operation Y was not one of the two, which of the following must be true?
(A) The account is either a type 1 or a type 2.
(B) The account is either a type 2 or a type 3.
(C) The account is either a type 2 or a type 4.
(D) The account is either a type 3 or a type 4.
(E) The account is either a type 3 or a type 5.
6. At the end of the Second World War the number of women in their childbearing years was at a record low. Yet for almost twenty years they produced a record high number of children. In 1957 there was an average of 3.72 children per family. Now the postwar babies are producing a record low number of babies. In 1983 the average number of children per family was about 1.79-two children fewer than the 1957 rate and lower even than the 2.11 rate that a population needs to replace itself.
It can properly be inferred from the passage that
(A) for the birth rate to be high, there must be a relatively large number of women in their childbearing years
(B) the most significant factor influencing the birth rate is whether the country is engaged in a war
(C) unless there are extraordinary circumstances, the birth rate will not dip below the level at which a population replaces itself
(D) for the birth rate to be low, there must be a relatively small number of women in their childbearing years
(E).the birth rate is not directly proportional to the number of women in their childbearing years
7. A study of illusionistic painting inevitably begins with the Greek painter Zeuxis. In an early work, which is the basis for his fame, he painted a bowl of grapes that was so lifelike that birds pecked at the fruit. In an attempt to expand his achievement to encompass human figures, he painted a boy carrying a bunch of grapes. When birds immediately came to
