Re: LSAT Logical Reasoning

LSAT is a law entrance exam, designed by USA based Law School Admission Council (LSAC) for admissions to law schools in India. It is a standardized test of reading and verbal reasoning skills.

The paper of LSAT includes four section that are
Analytical Reasoning
1st Logical Reasoning
2nd Logical Reasoning
Reading Comprehension


Here I am giving some question from the Logical Reasoning Section of this paper so that you get the idea about the questions asked in this paper
• Business Analyst: In a recent survey, employees of Company X were asked to state which one of the following two scenarios they would prefer: (1) Company X is the industry leader with gross revenues of $100 million, and Company Y is second with gross revenues of $90 million; or (2) Company Y is the industry leader with gross revenues of $120 million and Company X is second with gross revenues of $110 million. Despite the fact that, under the scenario 2, Company X would have higher gross revenue than under scenario 1, the majority of respondents stated that they preferred scenario 1.
Which of the following, if true, would most help to explain the surprising survey results described by the business analyst?
A. Most employees of Company X believe that their company has a higher growth rate than Company Y.
B. Most employees of Company X want their company to have gross revenue of more than $120 million.
C. Most employees of Company X believe that their personal welfare is not connected to the company’s gross revenue.
D. Most employees of Company X want their company to be more powerful than Company Y.
E. Most employees of Company X want their company to make products of the highest quality.
• Attorneys who represent violent criminals cannot both respect their clients’ right to confidentiality and be sincerely concerned for the welfare of victims of future violent crimes. Reporting a client’s unreported crimes violates the client’s trust, but remaining silent leaves the dangerous client out of prison, free to commit more crimes.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?
A. Most attorneys who represent violent criminals are assigned this task by a court.
B. Violent criminals are no more likely to be represented by an attorney than are nonviolent criminals.
C. Victims of future violent crimes also have a right to confidentiality should they need legal representation.
D. The right of victims of violent crimes to compensation is as important as the right of criminals to confidentiality.
E. An attorney who has gained a violent criminal’s trust can persuade that criminal not to commit repeat offenses.
• Civil libertarian: As electronic surveillance of public places becomes more common and pervasive, we hear more and more attempted justifications of this practice by government officials. Surveillance, they explain, keeps the public honest and polite to one another. Such explanations are obviously self-serving, and so should not be taken to justify these unwarranted invasions of privacy.
A questionable technique used in the civil libertarians argument is to
A. attack an argument different from that actually offered by government officials
B. presume that members of the public are never dishonest or rude to one another
C. insist that modern government practices meet moral standards far higher than those accepted in the past
D. attack government officials’ motives instead of addressing their arguments
E. make a generalization based on a sample that there is reason to believe is biased
• Physician: Research has shown that substance X causes cancer in rabbits. Even though similar research has never been done on humans, and probably never will be, the use of substance X should be banned.
That substance X causes cancer in rabbits figures in the argument in which one of the following ways?
A. It is presented as the hazard that the physician is concerned with preventing.
B. It is presented as a benefit of not acting on the recommendation of that conclusion.
C. It is presented as evidence for the claim that similar research will never be done on humans.
D. It is presented as a finding that motivates the course of action advocated in the conclusion.
E. It is presented as evidence for the claim that similar research has never been done on humans.
• Sulema: The real estate market is the best place to invest your money these days; although it is often volatile, it provides the opportunity to make a large profit quickly.
Antonietta: I agree that the real estate market provides the opportunity to make large profits quickly, but one is just as likely to take a large loss. I think that it is better to invest in precious metals, which tend to provide a constant, reliable appreciation over a long period of time.
Sulema’s and Antonietta’s statements provide the most support for holding that they disagree about whether
A. the real estate market is often volatile but provides the opportunity to make a large profit quickly
B. precious metals can provide a large return on one’s investment
C. the real estate market provides the opportunity for an investor to make a constant, reliable income over a long period of time
D. it is safer to invest in precious metals than to invest in the real estate market
E. it is preferable to choose an investment offering a reliable income over a more risky opportunity to make a large profit quickly
