CHAPTER
Letter Repeating
3 Series
Letter Repeating Series
In this type of series small letters of the alphabet are used to make a set of letters which are
repeated. The candidate has to find the set of letters which will fit the blanks left in the
given series in such a manner that one section of the series is further repeated in the same
manner
Example
1. Which of the following groups of letters will complete the given series?
ba _ b _aab _ a _ b
(A) baab (B) abba (C) abaa (D) babb

Solution
(B) The series is baab, baab, baab. Here the section ‘baab’ is repeated in the
series.
The candidate has to look for clues to solve such series pattern. ‘aab’ in the series
indicates that ‘b’ in this series is preceded by two ‘a’ so, the first blank and the last
blank will be filled by ‘a’. Now the first set is formed, i.e., ‘baab’ in the beginning.
This set is repeated, so the second and third blanks will have ‘b’ filling them. Now,
solve the exercise given below to know the different ways in which these series are
formed.

(a) (b) (c)
(A) 6 (B) –1 (C) 10 (D) 15

Solution
(B) From figure (a) (8×5)–(4×3) = 28
From figure (b) (12×7)–(8×9) = 12
Similarly from figure (c) (5×3)–(6×x) = 21
15–6x=21
x = –1
Hence the question mark will be replaced by –1.

Example
4 6 8
45 26 ?
7 6 5 4 7 3
(A) 24 (B) 29 (C) 22 (D) 32
Solution
(B) From First Triangle : 7×6+3 = 45
From second Triangle : 5×4+6 = 26
Similarly From third triangle : 7×3+8 = 29
Hence the question mark will be replaced by 29
3 2 4 8 1 5
13 80 ?
(A) 10 (B) 12 (C) 26 (D) 17
Solution
(C) From figure (a) : (3)2 + (2)2 = 13
From figure (b) : (4)2 + (8)2 = 80
Similarly from figure (c) : ? = (1)2 + (5)2 = 26
Hence the number 26 will replace the question mark.

CHAPTER
13 Venn Diagram
Venn Diagram
Logical Venn diagrams represent logical relationships among different items. The items
are represented by circles or any other geometrical figures. The size and shape of the
diagrams have no relevance to the quantity or nature of the items they represent. The
diagrams represent only logical relations among the items.
To start with, we shall analyze how the relation between two items can be represented
using logical Venn diagrams.
There can be only three types of relationships between any two different items. The
diagrammatic representation of such relationships is given below.
(A) The below diagram indicates that one item is completely contained in the other
item, but not vice-versa.
Example : Fruits, mangoes
Fruits are represented by the outer circle, and mangoes are represented by the
inner circle.
(B) This diagram indicates that neither item is completely contained in the other
item, but the two items have some portion in common.
Example : Teachers, poets.
Some teachers may be poets, but all the teachers are not poets. Likewise, some
but not all poets may be teachers. The common portion in both the circles
represents the teachers circles represents the teachers who are also poets.
(C) This diagram indicates that nothing is common between the two items
represented by the circles.
Example : Boy’s girls.
-58-
Since the two items are entirely different from each other, the circles
representing the items do not intersect.
The logical relation among three items is represented by any one of the following
Venn diagrams.
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11
Normally, in the problems on Venn diagrams, a set of Venn diagrams is given
followed by a set of three items each. Students are required to choose the
appropriate diagram which illustrates the relationship among the three given
items. All eleven types of representations are discussed in this chapter, by taking
two examples of each type.
(i) One item contains the other two items which are different from each other.
z
x y
Example :
Parrot, dove, birds
It is clear that parrot (X) and dove (Y) are separate items and both are birds (Z).
(ii) Two independent items sharing some common feature with the third item.
z
Example :
Boys. Girls, educated
It is obvious that only some boys are educated, some girls are educated, and no
boy is a girl and vice-versa. X represents boys, Y represents educated and Z
represents girls.
-59-
(iii) One item is partially contained in the other and the third item is fully contained
in both.
x z y
Example :
Furniture, wooden materials, wooden chair
Furniture, wooden materials, and wooden chair are represented by the circles X,
Y, and Z, respectively. Some of the furniture is made of wood. So, the circles X
and Y intersect with each other. The wooden chair is a piece of furniture as well
as a wooden material. So, the circle Z lies inside both the circles X and Y.
(iv) Independent items,
x y
z

Examples
1. Sarita introduced a boy as the son of the daughter of the father of her uncle. The
boy is Sarita’s ______
(A) Brother (B) Son (C) Uncle (D) Son-in law

Solution
(A) Usually we start from the end and keep on simplifying: Daughter of uncle’s
father means uncle’s sister. Uncle’s sister means mother and son of the
mother means her brother. So the boy is Sarita’s brother.
2. A+B means ‘A’ is the brother of B, A–B means A is the mother of B and A×B means A
is the sister of B. Which of the following means A is the maternal uncle of B?
(A) A+C+B (B) A–B+C (C) A+C–B (D) A+C×B

Solution
(C) Note that C has a relation between A and B. Option (A) A+C+B implies that A
is the brother of C who is the brother of B means that A is the brother of B.
So (A) does not give what is asked.
Option (B) also does not say what is required.
Option (C) A+C–B means A is the brother of C who is the mother of B means
that A is the maternal uncle of B.
Hence the answer is (C)

16 Operation
Mathematical Operation
We are all familiar with the symbols used for indicating mathematical operations such
as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. When more than one symbol is
used in a mathematical expression, we are not supposed to carry out the operations at
our discretion. There is a rule as to which operation is to be carried out first. This rule
is called the BODMAS rule. Each latter of the world BODMAS represents a
mathematical operation and the order of the letters indicates the order in which the
operations are to be carried out. The operations indicated by the letters in BODMAS
are given below :
B Brackets – removal of brackets (after simplifying the terms therein)

O Order (exponents) – conversion of exponents to normal form
D Division
M Multiplication
A Addition – addition of numbers with like signs
S Subtraction – subtraction of numbers with opposite signs
Example

In this chapter the question based on age, diagrams venn diagrams and general calculation
etc. are asked. Hence thorough knowledge of Arithmetic and Algebra etc is essential.
Examples
1. In a group of dogs and crows the number of legs is more than 2 times the number of
heads by 20. What is the number of dogs?
(A) 10 (B) 20 (C) 25 (D) 33

Solution
(A)
Let the no. of dogs be x and that of crows be y.
 Total number of legs = 4x+2y
And total number of heads = x+y
 4x+2y = 2(x+y)+20
 4x+2y = 2x+2y +20
 4x+2y–2x–2y = 20
 2x=20

CLOCK
The hour hand and the minute hand of a clock move in relation to each other continuously
and at any given point of time, they make an angle between 0° and 180° with each other.
Minute hand covers 360° in 1 hour, i.e., in 60 minutes. Hence, MINUTE HAND COVERS 6°
PER MINUTE.
Hour hand covers 360° in 12 hours. Hence, HOUR HAND COVERS 30° PER HOUR i. e., 12°
per minute.
The following additional points also should be remembered. In a period of 12 hours, the
hands make an angle of
0° with each other (i.e., they coincide with each other), 11 times
180° with each other (i.e., they lie on the same straight line), 11 times.
Any other angle with each other, 22 times.

CHAPTER
28 Cube and Dice
Cube and Dices

Dice is a cube. In cube there are 6 faces. Numbers 1 to 6 are written on the faces. Only one
number from 1 to 6 is written on one face. Some-times are faces are coloured and black
dots from 1 to 6 are marked
Some important points
Examples
1. There are 6 faces in the cube – ABCG, GCDE, DEFH, BCDH, AGEF and ABHF.
2. Always four faces are adjacent to one face

3. CDEG is the upper face of the cube.
4. ABHF is the bottom of the cube.
There are certain rules with the help of these rules questions on dice can easily
determined.
Rule No. 1 Two opposite faces cannot be adjacent to one another.
Example.
Two different positions of a dice are shown above. Which number will appear on the
face opposite to the face with number 4 ?
Solution : Faces with four numbers 6, 2, 5 and 3 are adjacent to the face with No. 4
Hence the faces with no.6,2,5 and 3 cannot be opposite to the face with no. 4.
Therefore the remaining face with no. 1 will be opposite to the face with no. 4.
Rule No. 2. If two different positions of a dice are shown and one of the two common
faces is in same position then of the remaining faces will be opposite to each other.

CHAPTER
29 Counting Figures
Counting Figures
Questions in this chapter involve counting of geometrical figures such as squares, triangles,
rectangles, and parallelograms in a given figure. In order to count the figures accurately, we
should follow a systematic method. If we adapt a random method for counting the figures,
the chances of making mistakes are high. Moreover, it may also result in wasting our
valuable time.
Examples
1. Consider a square, which is divided into four parts horizontally and vertically. Count
the total number of squares
(A) 25 (B) 30 (C) 35 (D) 40

Solution
(B) Number of 4×4 squares : 1 = 12
Number of 3×3 squares : 4 = 22
Thus, the total number of squares = 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 = 30

31 Classification
Classification
In classification the problem figures themselves are also the answer figures. Out of five
figure A, B, C, D and E four are similar in a certain way. One figure is not like the other
four. This means that four figures belongs to one class. The question is, which one of the
figures does not belong to this class. The candidate has to find it.
Type I Figure based on the number of lines
Type II Figure based on the arrangement of lines
Type III Figure based on shape of diagrams
Type IV Figure based on the parts of the diagrams
Examples
1.
Solution
(E) Except (E) all the figures are made of five lines but the figure in (E) is of six
lines. Hence odd figure is in answer figure (E)
2.
Solution
(A) Except (A) in all the other figures the designs are made of straight lines
which in figure (A) there is a circle which is not made of straight line.

Series
In this type of questions, there are two sets of figures. One set is called ‘Problem Figures’
while the other as ‘Answer Figures’. Problem figures are first and four in number while
answer figures are after and four in number. The answer figures are indicated by A, B, C
and D. The five problem figures make a series. That mean they change from left to right in
specific order. The question is, if the figure continue to change in the same order what
should be the next figure?
Type I – Based on Numbers
Type II – Based on shape and size of figure
Type III – Based on rotation of figures
Type IV – Based on Position
Type V – Based on Combination and Diffusion
Type VI – Based on Increasing or Decreasing Figure

Solution
Here from A to B the number of designs in changing from 9 to 8.
From B to C the number of designs is changing from 8 to 7
From C to D the number of designs is changing from 7 to 6
Thus in each subsequent figure the number of designs is decreasing by one.
Hence E the number of designs will be 5.
Therefore answer is

Folding Paper Cutting and Transparent Paper Folding
This type of questions are based on a transparent sheet. Some marks are made on the
transparent sheet and a dotted line is made on the sheet. Then this sheet is folded along
the dotted line. Four answer figures are also given with this problem figure. The candidate
has to find out that figure among the answer figures, which resembles the pattern formed
when the transparent sheet carrying a design is folded along the dotted line.
Examples
1.
Solution
(A) If the problems figure the arrow indicates the mark on the transparent sheet.
The vertical dotted line shows the first fold while the horizontal dotted lines
represents the second fold. Thus in folding the transparent sheet we will get
the figure as shown in answer figure (A)
2.
Solution
(C) On folding the transparent sheet along dotted line, all the transparent sheet
along dotted line, all the points, will go inside the circles. Hence the answer
is (C)

CHAPTER
38 Analogy
Analogy
In this type of questions, there are two sets of figures. The figures on the left are ‘Problem
Figures’ and those on the right are ‘Answer figures’. Problem figures are presented in two
units. The first unit contains two figures and the second unit contains one figure and a
question mark in place of fourth figure. There is some relationship in the two figures of the
first unit of the problem figure. The same relationship also exists between the two figures of
the second unit of the problem figures. The candidate has to find out which one of the
answer figure should be in place of the question mark.
There are many bases of the relation between the problem figure out of which some are
following
Example
1.
Solution
(A) From Pf1 to Pf2 the outer design becomes inner after reducing while the inner
design becomes outer after enlarging. Therefore the same relation is found
between Pf3 and Answer figure (A)
2.
Solution
(B) From Pf1 to Pf2 the design is inverted. The same relation is found between Pf3
and answer figure (B).
