examination.

Pass Marks : The candidates shall be required to qualify

in each objective test as per cut-off marks determined on
the basis of group performance in each test, subject to
minimum of 40% marks (35% in case of SC/ST/PWD
candidates) in aggregate.
THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWER MARKED
BY YOU IN THE OBJECTIVE TESTS. There are five alternatives

in every question of a test. For each question for which a

wrong answer has been given by you, one-fourth or 0.25 of
the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as
penalty. If for any question you give more than one answer,
it will be treated as wrong even if one of the given answers
happens to be right and there will be the same penalty as
above for that question. If a question is left blank, i.e. no
answer is given by you, there will be no penalty for that
question. If the total of the penalty for a test is in fraction,
the marks obtained will be rounded off to the nearest integer.
YOU SHOULD THEREFORE BE CAREFUL IN MARKING YOUR
ANSWERS.

y[ {* I W[ < u< $ x[ u*E <W >[ W[ x<W{

Notice the percentage for rank I given in the table. You

observe that seniority is the attribute with the highest
percentage. So your answer is Seniority, which is answer
No. (2).

Q.21. How many employees gave rank III to

intelligence ?
(1) 119
(2) 98
(3) 77
(4) 70 (5) 10
Look at the intersection of the column giving percentage
for rank III and the row giving percentage for intelligence.
You find that 10 percent of the 700 employees have given
rank III to this attribute. 10% of 700 is 70. So your answer
should be (4).

Q.28. Some leaders are dishonest. Satyapriya is a

leader. Which of the following inferences
definitely follows from these two statements ?
(1) Satyapriya is honest
(2) Satyapriya is dishonest
(3) Some leaders are honest
(4) Leaders are generally dishonest
(5) Satyapriya is sometimes dishonest
There may also be problems in the form of figures,
designs and drawings. These may be of three types :
1. Analogies

2. Classification

and

3. Series

1. Analogies :
In these questions, there are two sets of figures. the
Problem Figures and the Answer Figures. The 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 the fourth figure. You have to
find out which one of the Answer Figures should be in
place of the question mark.
Study the following questions based on Analogies.

Look at the first two Problem Figures. The second figure

is related to the first figure in a certain way. The first figure
is a square. In the second figure, the square has been
bisected by a vertical line and the right half has been
darkened.

The third and fourth figures should have the same

relationship as the first and the second have. The third
figure is a circle, so in the fourth figure, the circle should
be bisected by a vertical line and the right half should be
darkened. Answer Figure 5 is related to the third Problem
Figure in this way. Therefore the answer is 5.

Study the first and the second figures in the Problem

Figures. The first figure is a darkened square and in the
second figure, there are four squares, not darkened,
arranged in a particular way. That means the elements in
the second figure are four times the elements in the first
figure and are not darkened. In addition, the four squares
are arranged in a specific way and are not touching one
another.
The third figure is a darkened circle. Therefore, the fourth
figure should have four circles which are not darkened,
arranged in the same way as in the second figure. Now
look at the Answer Figures. You will find that figure 1
consists of four circles which are not darkened arranged
in a similar way. Therefore, the answer is 1.

Study the first and the second figures in the first unit of
the Problem Figures. The first figure is made up of four
lines and the second figure is made up of five lines. That
means the second figure has one line more than the first
figure. The third figure in the second unit has five lines.
Therefore, the fourth figure should have six lines i.e. one
more than the third. Now look at the Answer Figures. You
will find that figure 3 is made up of six lines. Therefore, the
answer is 3.

In classification, the Problem Figures are also the Answer

Figures. Out of the five figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, four are
similar in a certain way and so form a group. One figure is
not like the other four. The question is which one of the
figures does not belong to this group.

For example, look at the example at Q. No. 34. Of the five

figures, four figures are such that in each of them, there
are two similar figures, one within the other. These four
figures form a group. Figure 1 is unlike this and so does
not belong to this group. Therefore the answer is 1.

Study the five figures of Q.35. The first four figures form a
group as they represent different types of containers while
the fifth figure, a spoon, does not represent a container.
Therefore the answer is 5.

The four Problem Figures make a series. That means they

change from left to right in a specific order. The question
is if the figures continue to change in the same order,
what should the fifth figure be ? In the example above, as
you go from left to right, you find that the arrow inside the
circle keeps rotating at 900 in the clockwise direction. The
question is, if the arrow continues to rotate by the same
amount in the clockwise direction, what will be its next,
i.e. fifth position ? The answer is that it should point towards
the top in the fifth figure. Answer Figure 2 shows this
position of the arrow. Therefore, the answer is 2.

Look at Q.39 carefully. You will see two different things

happening here. When you move from left to right, the
number of black dots inside the hexagon is increasing by
one everytime in the anti-clockwise direction. But note
that the white dot is moving in the clockwise direction. In
the fifth figure, the white dot should be at the upper left
corner of the hexagon. Only Answer Figure 3 has bothone black dot getting added at the lower left corner and
the white dot moving to the upper left corner. So, the answer
is 3.
Note that there can be questions with five Problem
Figures in the series type of questions. For example,
study the Problem Figures in Q. No. 40.

fall further and be lying flat, i.e. they should be horizontal.
The answer, therefore, is 5.
