Sample assessment questions

PLI Practice Test

A configured aptitude test built from approved Heycademy question bank questions.

Section 1

Numerical Reasoning

Percentages, ratios, tables, charts, and business maths.

sales_reports / hard

A company's monthly sales increased from $150,000 to $195,000 over 6 months. What was the average monthly percentage increase in sales, assuming it increased at a constant rate?

  1. 4.5%
  2. 5.0%
  3. 4.3%
  4. 3.8%
Show answer

Correct answer: 4.5%

Explanation

Using compound growth formula: Final = Initial × (1 + r)^6 → 195,000 = 150,000 × (1 + r)^6 → (1 + r)^6 = 1.3 → 1 + r = 1.3^(1/6) ≈ 1.043 → r ≈ 4.3%.

inventory_analysis / hard

Using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula EOQ = sqrt((2 × Demand × Ordering Cost) / Holding Cost), where annual demand is 10,000 units, what is the EOQ?

A company orders 10,000 units of a product at $15 per unit. The holding cost per unit per year is $2, and the ordering cost per order is $500.

  1. 1,000 units
  2. 2,236 units
  3. 3,162 units
  4. 4,472 units
Show answer

Correct answer: 2,236 units

Explanation

EOQ = sqrt((2 × 10,000 × 500) / 2) = sqrt(5,000,000) ≈ 2,236 units.

Section 2

Verbal Reasoning

Reading comprehension, inference, statements, and arguments.

assumption_detection / medium

A manager states that employees who work overtime are more productive. What assumption underlies this statement?

The manager believes overtime work correlates with higher productivity.

  1. Employees who work overtime produce better quality work.
  2. Working longer hours directly increases productivity.
  3. Employees dislike working overtime.
  4. Overtime work is always compensated fairly.
Show answer

Correct answer: Working longer hours directly increases productivity.

Explanation

The assumption is that longer working hours (overtime) lead to increased productivity, which may not always be true.

assumption_detection / medium

What assumption underlies the argument that increasing the minimum wage will reduce poverty?

The argument states that raising the minimum wage will provide low-income workers with more money, which will reduce poverty levels.

  1. All low-income workers are currently earning below the poverty line.
  2. Employers will not reduce employment levels in response to higher wages.
  3. Poverty is caused solely by low wages.
  4. The government will enforce the new minimum wage effectively.
Show answer

Correct answer: Employers will not reduce employment levels in response to higher wages.

Explanation

The argument assumes that employers will not cut jobs or reduce hours when wages increase; otherwise, the intended poverty reduction might not occur.

assumption_detection / medium

A policy mandates that all employees must complete a cybersecurity training course annually. Which assumption is this policy based on?

The policy aims to reduce cybersecurity risks through training.

  1. Employees currently have adequate cybersecurity knowledge.
  2. Regular training will reduce the likelihood of security breaches.
  3. Cybersecurity threats are not a concern for the company.
  4. Only IT staff need cybersecurity training.
Show answer

Correct answer: Regular training will reduce the likelihood of security breaches.

Explanation

The policy assumes that annual training effectively lowers security risks; if training does not impact behavior, the policy would be ineffective.

Section 3

Logical Reasoning

Patterns, sequences, arrangements, and abstract logic.

conditional_logic / easy

If all employees who work on Project X must attend the Monday meeting, and John does not attend the Monday meeting, what can be concluded about John?

  1. John works on Project X
  2. John does not work on Project X
  3. John sometimes attends the Monday meeting
  4. John attends the Monday meeting
Show answer

Correct answer: John does not work on Project X

Explanation

Since all employees working on Project X must attend the Monday meeting, and John does not attend, John cannot be working on Project X.

symbol_logic / easy

Given the symbols: '^' means 'and', 'v' means 'or', and '~' means 'not', which of the following is the negation of the statement 'P ^ Q'?

Apply the negation to the conjunction using symbolic logic rules.

  1. ~P v ~Q
  2. ~P ^ ~Q
  3. ~(P v Q)
  4. P v ~Q
Show answer

Correct answer: ~P v ~Q

Explanation

The negation of 'P and Q' is 'not P or not Q' by De Morgan's law, which is '~P v ~Q'.

symbol_logic / easy

If the symbol '@' means 'implies', and the statement 'A @ B' is false only when A is true and B is false, what is the truth value of 'X @ Y' if X is false and Y is false?

Symbol '@' means logical implication: true unless true implies false.

  1. true
  2. false
  3. undefined
  4. depends on other variables
Show answer

Correct answer: true

Explanation

Implication is false only when the antecedent (X) is true and the consequent (Y) is false. Here X is false, so 'X @ Y' is true regardless of Y's value. Hence, option A is correct.
