Set 6

Explanation

Let's analyze the cooking time information for each type of meat based on the statements in the problem. Let $T(x)$ be the cooking time for meat $x$.

Based on the table above, we can arrange the cooking order from the fastest (least time) to the slowest:

1. From the first and second points, we get the order:

   $$T(\text{Lamb}) < T(\text{Beef}) \le T(\text{Duck})$$

2. From the third and fourth points, we get the order:

   $$T(\text{Duck}) < T(\text{Rabbit}) < T(\text{Chicken})$$

If we combine both sequences, we get the complete order as follows:

Conclusion: The meat that cooks the fastest is the one at the very beginning of the sequence, which is Lamb.

Therefore, the correct answer is Lamb.

Explanation

Let's analyze the shipping traffic volume for each month based on the given information. We will use inequality signs to compare the busyness between months.

Based on the points above, we can arrange the order of busyness from the busiest to the quietest:

1. From the first two points, we get the order:

   $$\text{October} > \text{December} > \text{November}$$

2. From the last two points, we know that January is below or equal to November, and February is below January:

   $$\text{November} \ge \text{January} > \text{February}$$

If we combine all this information, the complete order is:

From this sequence, we can determine the ranking of busyness:

1. Busiest: October
2. Second busiest: December
3. Third: November
4. Fourth: January
5. Fifth: February

Conclusion: The shipping traffic estimated to be the second busiest occurs in the month of December.

Therefore, the correct answer is December.

Explanation

Let's analyze the given information using mathematical logic.

The problem states that the activity to be held is either cleaning the gutters ($p$) or collecting used goods ($q$). This can be written as a disjunction:

Then, it is known as a fact that cleaning the gutters could not be carried out ($\sim p$) because it rained.

In logic, this is called a Disjunctive Syllogism. Since one option (cleaning gutters) did not happen, the other option (collecting used goods) must happen for the plan to remain valid.

Therefore, the conclusion is $q$: On Sunday, community service to collect used goods is held.

Options stating that "community service is not held" are incorrect because the option to "collect used goods" can (and must) still be carried out according to the initial plan.

Therefore, the correct answer is Community service to collect used goods is held on Sunday.

Explanation

Based on the text, there is specific information regarding the impact of wax content in instant food on the body:

"The wax destroys the working principle of the body's digestive system so that food containing wax will be digested with a minimum time of two days."

This statement indicates that the presence of wax disrupts the digestive system and makes the digestion process take much longer (a minimum of two days). In other words, wax slows down the digestion process.

Other options are incorrect because the text specifically links wax to digestive system disruption and long digestion duration, not to stroke symptoms, kidney disease (mentioned as a general impact of fast food, not specifically wax), appetite, or the inability to digest at all.

Therefore, the correct answer is slows down the digestion process.

Explanation

Let's verify the validity of each statement by comparing it directly against the table data:

The data consistently shows that Acting occupies the bottom rank in the number of participants at every grade level, making it the statement most consistent with the table contents.

Explanation

Let's verify each statement based on the table data to find the one that is NOT in accordance.

Based on the calculations above, the statement that the number of students who like painting is 160 is incorrect (it should be 166).

Explanation

This problem is an application of inverse proportion. Since the distance traveled is constant, if the travel time decreases, the speed must increase.

The relationship between speed ($v$) and time ($t$) for a constant distance can be written as:

Given:

• Initial speed $v_1 = 60 \text{ km/h}$
• Initial time $t_1 = 15 \text{ hours}$
• Target time $t_2 = 12 \text{ hours}$

We substitute these values into the equation to find the new speed ($v_2$):

Thus, the speed of the train must be $75 \text{ km/h}$.

Explanation

We need to determine how many card number combinations can be made based on the given rules.

The card number consists of $12$ digits with the following format:

1. First 4 digits (Prefix): Fixed, which is $0844$.
2. Last 4 digits (Suffix): Fixed, which is $1221$.
3. Middle 4 digits: The part that needs to be arranged.

Since the first 4 and last 4 digits are already determined, we only need to fill the $12 - 4 - 4 = 4$ empty positions in the middle.

The available digits to fill these positions are $\{2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9\}$. The number of available digit choices is $7$.

Since there is no restriction on repeating digits in arranging phone numbers, each of the 4 middle positions can be filled by any of the $7$ available digits.

The calculation is as follows:

Thus, the number of card numbers that can be created is $2401$.

Explanation

We need to find the letter shift pattern from the code LXMKWKBZ to TESPANDA to solve the code MMVFOBPT.

Let's analyze the shift pattern:

The pattern found is a forward shift starting from $+8$ and decreasing by $1$ at each step: $+8, +7, +6, +5, +4, +3, +2, +1$.

Now let's apply this pattern to the code MMVFOBPT:

Thus, the meaning of the code is UTBKSERU.

Explanation

We can solve this code by comparing the two given sentences:

1. it pit sit = I passed SBMPTN
2. it nit sit = I passed SIMAK

From these two sentences, there are common words:

• Common codes: it and sit
• Common meanings: I and passed

This means it and sit represent I and passed (although we don't know exactly which is which, it is not needed to answer this question).

The remaining word in the second sentence is:

• Remaining code: nit
• Remaining meaning: SIMAK

Thus, nit means SIMAK.

Explanation

To determine the conclusion that is most likely true, we need to analyze the core information presented in the text.

The text explicitly states that:

"Our fuel consumption has exceeded domestic fuel production, so to cover the difference between consumption and production, we must import fuel from abroad."

This statement establishes a cause-and-effect relationship:

1. Cause: Fuel consumption exceeds (is higher than) domestic production.
2. Effect: Fuel imports are carried out to cover the gap.

Let's analyze the options:

• Statement regarding import fluctuation: The text does not provide specific data regarding the fluctuation of imports over time.
• Statement regarding annual increase: The text does not mention an increasing trend occurring every year specifically for these three variables.
• Statement regarding the year 2005: The text does not mention the year 2005 at all.
• Statement regarding consumption being higher than production: This aligns with the text's premise that "Our fuel consumption has exceeded domestic fuel production," which is the main reason (cause) for importing fuel.

Therefore, the conclusion most supported by the text is that fuel consumption being always higher than production necessitates imports.

Explanation

This question asks us to draw a conclusion based on a hypothetical condition ("if improvements do not occur").

Let's analyze the logical relationship in the text:

1. Real Condition (with improvement): Even though there are improvements, poverty is still rife and inequality continues.
2. Hypothetical Condition (without improvement): If even with improvements the condition is still bad (poverty is rife, inequality continues), then logically, without any improvement, the condition would become worse or more severe.

Analysis of Options:

• Statement regarding wage/exchange rate factors: This relates to causes, not the direct impact of "lack of improvement" on the poverty status itself in the context of the first sentence.
• Statement regarding poverty decreasing: This contradicts logic. Without improvement, conditions cannot possibly get better.
• Statement regarding poverty continuing: This is the condition that happens when there are improvements. If there are no improvements, the condition should be more than just "continuing".
• Statement regarding poverty being very high: This is the most likely conclusion. If "with improvement" = "still rife/continuing", then "without improvement" = "very high/severe". The intensity of the problem would increase.

Therefore, the most likely conclusion is that poverty and inequality would be very high.

Explanation

To find the true statement, we must verify each answer choice based on the information explicitly stated in the text.

Analysis of options:

• Statement regarding countries retaliating: The text uses the word "if" ("...if other countries retaliate..."). This indicates that it is a possibility or hypothetical condition, not a fact that has already happened.
• Statement regarding the cause of farmers' losses: The text states farmers lost money because "chicken prices at the farmer level collapsed". Although it mentions Indonesia lost at the WTO, the text does not directly state that the defeat was the direct cause of the price collapse that occurred a month earlier. The text focuses on farmers' protests due to falling prices.
• Statement regarding trade balance being determined by retaliation: The text states "will affect", not "determined by". Furthermore, this is still in the context of a hypothesis ("if").
• Statement regarding retaliation affecting trade balance: Similar to the previous point, this is based on a conditional sentence ("Of course, this will affect..."), which depends on retaliation occurring.
• Statement regarding farmers experiencing losses: The text explicitly states: "...chicken prices at the farmer level collapsed causing farmers to lose money." This is a fact presented in the text.

Therefore, the statement that is certainly true according to the text is that independent chicken farmers experienced losses.

Explanation

We can analyze the logic behind this situation using the principle of Disjunctive Syllogism. Imagine there are two possible paths the Director of PT Batik must take this year:

Where:

• $P$: Opening a new branch.
• $Q$: Selling a new product.
• $\lor$: Represents "or" (one of them must happen).

The subsequent fact states that the new branch permit was not completed. This means the first path ($P$) is blocked or false ($\sim P$).

Since one of these two plans must be executed (based on the initial "or" premise), and the branch opening plan failed, logic dictates that the only remaining possibility is that the second plan must proceed.

Therefore, the absolutely correct conclusion is PT Batik sells the new product this year.

Explanation

Let's arrange the fat content levels of these foods like a ladder, from highest to lowest.

We start by mapping out the available information:

1. Molen beats Biscuit ($\text{Molen} > \text{Biscuit}$).
2. Biscuit turns out to be higher than Sus ($\text{Biscuit} > \text{Sus}$).
3. Sus itself sits above Tart ($\text{Sus} > \text{Tart}$), but Tart is still higher than Pia ($\text{Tart} > \text{Pia}$).

If we connect all these clues into a single continuous chain, we get:

From the formation above, it is clearly visible which one occupies the third highest rank.

Explanation

Let's unravel this ticket distribution puzzle. We have 5 children (A, B, C, D, E) and 5 destinations. The main condition is that each city must be visited by exactly one child (one-to-one correspondence).

First, let's identify children with "exclusive" or unique choices:

1. Bali: Only appears in B's wish list. Thus, B must go to Bali.
2. Manado: Only appears in C's wish list. Thus, C must go to Manado.

Now we are left with 3 children (A, D, E) and 3 cities (Yogyakarta, Lombok, Padang).

• A wants: Yogyakarta or Lombok.
• D wants: Yogyakarta or Padang.
• E wants: Padang, Lombok, or Yogyakarta.

Based on the additional information in the question, we know that E goes to Lombok.

Since Lombok is taken by E, let's look at A's options:

• A originally wanted Yogyakarta or Lombok.
• The Lombok option is closed (since E is there).
• Therefore, the only remaining choice for A is Yogyakarta.

Thus, the father gives the Yogyakarta ticket to A. (As a completion, D will automatically get the ticket to Padang).

Explanation

Let's use Disjunctive Syllogism logic to solve this case. Imagine the event in Kampung Bambu as a binary choice where one of them must happen:

Where:

• $P$: Robbery occurred.
• $Q$: Theft occurred.
• $\lor$: Means "or" (one must be true).

The second premise provides a key fact: Robbery never occurred ($\sim P$).

Since the first option ($P$) has been annulled or declared false, logic dictates that the only remaining possibility for the initial statement to remain true is that the second option ($Q$) must have occurred.

Therefore, the inevitable conclusion is: Last Sunday, a crime in the form of theft just occurred in Kampung Bambu.

Explanation

To answer this question, we need to focus on the end of the text which specifically discusses the impact of wax on the body. The text explicitly states:

"The wax destroys the working principle of the body's digestive system so that food containing wax will be digested in a minimum of two days."

Digestion taking a minimum of two days indicates a significant time delay compared to the normal process. In other words, the digestion process becomes much slower than usual.

Therefore, the direct impact of wax entering the body is slowing down the digestion process. Other options such as inhibiting stroke or reducing appetite are not mentioned in the context of the wax's effects.

Explanation

To find the inconsistent statement, we simply need to observe the mismatched trends between two key variables: Rice Production and Rice Procurement.

Observe the data from 2002 to 2004:

• Rice Production experienced an increase ($33.47 \to 35.32$ million tons).
• Rice Procurement actually experienced a decrease ($35.28 \to 33.69$ million tons).

This fact indicates an inverse relationship. When production reached its highest point, procurement hit its lowest.

Therefore, the statement that "high rice production is consistent with high rice procurement" directly contradicts the table data.

Explanation

To calculate the percentage increase in the number of drug users in the $20-24$ age range from 2005 to 2006, we need to identify the number of users in both years based on the table.

• Number of users in 2005 ($\text{Initial}$): $5503$
• Number of users in 2006 ($\text{Final}$): $8383$

First, we calculate the absolute increase in the number of users:

Next, we calculate the percentage increase relative to the initial number (year 2005):

Rounding to one decimal place, the percentage increase is $52.3\%$.
