UCAT/ UKCAT Question Analysis - Q90.6 - 90.10

Liang owns a shop. Her product catelogue shows over 100 options for tea that customers can buy. Her tea comes from at least six different countries.

  • Teas can be either 'single origin' which means they originate from the same estate, or can be 'blend' which means that leaves from different estates have been mixed.
  • The tea subtypes she sells are: black, green and oolong.
  • No blend can contain more than one subtype.
  • Tea produced from Kenya is always black.
  • All green teas are single origin.
  • Most of her Taiwanese teas are oolong.
  • The majority of her teas are from China.
  • Her most expensive teas are oolong.
  • All her Japanese tea is green.
  • She has more teas from India than Taiwan.
  • Both blends and singles can be scented with perfumes.

Answer YES if the conclusions follow and NO if it doesn't.

Q90.6 Yes. Both blends and single origin teas can be scented, which means in effect that all teas can be scented, including Kenyan tea.

Q90.7 No. Nothing in the text suggests it is the case. All we know is that the majority of her teas are from China but we do not know what subtype they are.

Q90.8 No. All Kenyan tea is black and all Japanese tea is green. Different subtypes cannot be blended, so a Japanese/ Kenyan blend is not possible.

Q90.9 Yes. We know that her teas come from six different countries. So one of those countries is unnamed in the text.

Q90.10 No. The word 'expensive' used in the information provided does not necessarily translate into expensive production costs. It could simply be expensive because it is rare. Also, as in Q90.2, se cannot conclude that Taiwanese tea is expensive in any case.
