SAMPLE QUESTIONS

A) OBJECTIVE TEST

Below are given some sample questions for the objectivetype tests. The types of questions are only illustrative andnot exhaustive. In actual examination you may find ques-tions on some or all of these types and also questions on

the types not mentioned here.

TEST I : REASONING ABILITY AND COMPUTERCOMPETENCY

This is a test to see how well you can think and to measureyou computer competency. It contains questions of variouskinds. Here are some sample questions.

Directions : In each of the following questions, there is agroup of letters or words given. Four of the five are alike ina certain way, while one is different. Find out the onewhich is different.

Q.1. (1) black (2) red (3) green (4) yellow (5) paint

Of the five, black, red, green, and yellow form a groupas they are names of colours. Paint is not the name of acolour. Therefore (5) is the answer.

Now try to solve the following question.

Q.2. (1) XZ (2) MN (3) PQ (4) BC (5) ST

Following are the questions based on analogy.

Q.3. Foot is related to Man in the same way asHoof is related to (1) Leg (2) Horse (3) Dog (4) Boy (5) Shoe

Q.6. Some leaders are dishonest. Satyapriya is aleader. Which of the following inferencesdefinitely 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. theProblem Figures and the Answer Figures. The ProblemFigures are presented in two units. The first unit containstwo figures and the second unit contains one figure and aquestion mark in place of the fourth figure. You have tofind 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 figureis related to the first figure in a certain way. The first figureis a square. In the second figure, the square has beenbisected by a vertical line and the right half has beendarkened.

The third and fourth figures should have the samerelationship as the first and the second have. The thirdfigure is a circle, so in the fourth figure, the circle shouldbe bisected by a vertical line and the right half should bedarkened. Answer Figure 5 is related to the third ProblemFigure in this way. Therefore the answer is 5.

Study the first and the second figures in the ProblemFigures. The first figure is a darkened square and in thesecond figure, there are four squares, not darkened,arranged in a particular way. That means the elements inthe second figure are four times the elements in the firstfigure and are not darkened. In addition, the four squaresare arranged in a specific way and are not touching oneanother.

The third figure is a darkened circle. Therefore, the fourthfigure 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 1consists of four circles which are not darkened arrangedin 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 linesand the second figure is made up of five lines. That meansthe 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 thanthe third. Now look at the Answer Figures. You will findthat figure 3 is made up of six lines. Therefore, the answeris 3.

Now, attempt the following questions. (Correct answers toall the unexplained questions are given later in this booklet).

2. Classification :

Study the following questions based on classification.

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

For example, look at the example at Q. No. 12. Of the five

figures, four figures are such that in each of them, thereare two similar figures, one within the other. These fourfigures form a group. Figure 1 is unlike this and so doesnot belong to this group. Therefore the answer is 1.

Study the five figures of Q.13. The first four figures form agroup as they represent different types of containers whilethe fifth figure, a spoon, does not represent a container.Therefore the answer is 5.

Now attempt the following questions.

3. Series

Study the following problems based on series.

Note that the four figures given first at the left are calledProblem Figures. The five figures given next are calledAnswer figures. They are indicated by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4and 5.

The four Problem Figures make a series. That means theychange 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, asyou go from left to right, you find that the arrow inside thecircle keeps rotating at 900 in the clockwise direction. Thequestion is, if the arrow continues to rotate by the sameamount in the clockwise direction, what will be its next,i.e. fifth position ? The answer is that it should point towardsthe top in the fifth figure. Answer Figure 2 shows this

position of the arrow. Therefore, the answer is 2.

Look at Q.16 carefully. You will see two different thingshappening here. When you move from left to right, thenumber of black dots inside the hexagon is increasing byone everytime in the anti-clockwise direction. But notethat the white dot is moving in the clockwise direction. Inthe fifth figure, the white dot should be at the upper leftcorner of the hexagon. Only Answer Figure 3 has both-one black dot getting added at the lower left corner andthe white dot moving to the upper left corner. So, the answeris 3.

Note that there can be questions with five ProblemFigures in the series type of questions. For example,study the Problem Figures in Q. No. 17.

Note that the number of arrows is increasing by 1 everytimeand that they are gradually falling towards the left. In thesixth figure there should be six arrows and they shouldfall further and be lying flat, i.e. they should be horizontal.

The answer, therefore, is 5.Now solve the following questions.

and instruction(5) none of these

TEST II : QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

This test is designed to measure how fast and accurateyou are in dealing with numbers, viz. computation,quantitative reasoning, interpretation of tables and graphs.

Directions : In each of the following questions one numberis missing. The place where the number is missing isshown by a question mark (?). You have to find out whichone of the answers shown against 1, 2, 3 and 4 can replacethe question mark. If none of these four can replace thequestion mark, you will indicate (5) i.e. None of these asyour answer.

Q.21. 42 + 73 + 137 = ?(1) 352 (2) 252 (3) 242(4) 142 (5) None of these

Q.22. 20 1

(1) 4 (2) 5 (3) 12

(4) 20 (5) None of these

The correct answer for Q.22 is 10. But none of the 1, 2, 3,or 4 shows this answer. Therefore your answer is 5.

Some of the questions may require arithmetical reasoning.For example :

Q.23. At 10 paise each, how many paise will 6 lemonscost ?(1) 6 (2) 10 (3) 60 (4) 61 (5) 610

Q.24. Which of the following can be exact multiple of 4 ?(1) 27114 (2) 58204 (3) 48402(4) 32286 (5) None of these
