UVAS DVM Admission Test Logical Reasoning Flashcards
51 question-and-answer cards covering Logical Reasoning as it is examined in UVAS DVM Admission Test. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Logical Reasoning deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
If A > B and B > C, what relation can be derived between A and C, and what property is this?
A > C; this is the transitive property.
In coding relationship puzzles, if 'A + B' means A is the father of B, and 'B + C' means B is father of C, how is A related to C?
A is the grandfather of C (relation derived by chaining the two given relations).
What is the key skill in drawing structured conclusions from a passage?
Distinguishing what is explicitly stated or logically entailed from what is merely assumed, opinionated, or beyond the passage's scope.
In passage-based reasoning, what is the difference between a 'stated fact' and an 'inference'?
A stated fact is written directly in the text; an inference is a conclusion logically supported by the text but not directly stated.
When evaluating a conclusion against a passage, what makes a conclusion invalid?
It introduces information not supported by the passage, overgeneralizes, or contradicts the text.
What is deductive reasoning in a syllogism?
Drawing a certain conclusion from two premises (major and minor) such that if both premises are true, the conclusion must be true.
In syllogisms, what does the term 'all A are B' allow you to conclude about a specific member of A?
Any specific member of A is also a member of B (e.g., 'All A are B; X is A; therefore X is B').
What is a common invalid syllogism form to avoid?
Affirming the consequent: 'If P then Q; Q is true; therefore P' — this does not validly follow.
What is 'denying the antecedent' and why is it invalid?
'If P then Q; not P; therefore not Q' — invalid because Q may still be true for other reasons.
What is modus ponens?
A valid form: 'If P then Q; P is true; therefore Q is true.'
What is modus tollens?
A valid form: 'If P then Q; Q is false (not Q); therefore P is false (not P).'
In a deductive seating/arrangement puzzle, what is the recommended first step?
List all definite (direct) clues first to fix known positions, then apply relative clues to narrow remaining possibilities.
What does it mean to 'infer results across multiple problems'?
Applying a rule or pattern established in earlier problems to solve a new, related problem consistently.
In decision-making questions, what distinguishes relevant from irrelevant information?
Relevant information directly affects the outcome of the decision; irrelevant information does not change which option is best.
When 'judging a course of action,' what two conditions make an action a strong follow-up to a problem statement?
It directly addresses the problem (solves or reduces it) and is practical/feasible to implement.
In 'statement and course of action' questions, why is a course of action rejected?
If it is impractical, addresses only a symptom, is disproportionate, or does not logically follow from the statement.
What is a cause-and-effect relationship?
A relationship where one event (the cause) directly produces or brings about another event (the effect).
What is the key error of confusing correlation with causation?
Assuming that because two events occur together they have a causal link, when the correlation may be coincidental or due to a third common cause.
In cause-and-effect questions, how do you identify which event is the cause?
The cause occurs first in time and its occurrence is necessary or sufficient to produce the effect.
What is a necessary cause versus a sufficient cause?
A necessary cause must be present for the effect to occur; a sufficient cause guarantees the effect on its own, but the effect may have other causes too.
When reasoning about an accident or event, what is the difference between immediate cause and root cause?
The immediate cause is the direct trigger of the event; the root cause is the underlying condition that allowed the immediate cause to occur.
What is an assumption in an argument and why does identifying it matter?
An assumption is an unstated premise taken for granted; identifying it lets you test whether the argument's conclusion truly holds.
What is a circular argument (begging the question)?
A flawed argument in which the conclusion is assumed within the premises, so it proves nothing new.
What is the difference between an inference and an assumption in logical reasoning?
An inference is a conclusion drawn FROM stated information; an assumption is information taken for granted that is NOT stated but needed for the argument.
What this deck covers
The Logical Reasoning deck follows the UVAS DVM Admission Test Logical Reasoning syllabus — 6 chapters and 15 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 8.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 110 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.

How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
