SERIES In series (numbers, letters, combination of numbers and letters, figures) completion, student is required to study the given series, identify the pattern followed by the terms of the series either to find missing term or to identify the wrong term. COMPLETION OF FIGURE PATTERN In this type of questions, a figure pattern is given, in which a part is missing, followed by the four options. A student has to select the best option amongst the given options which completely fits in the pattern or completes the pattern. INSERTING THE MISSING CHARACTER In this type of questions, a set of terms following a certain pattern is given. The student is required to identify the relation or pattern followed in the given terms and find the missing character. FIGURE MATRIX In this type of questions, sets of figures follows the same rule either row-wise or column-wise. A student has to analyse the set of figures and identify the rule and then find the missing figure from the set of options.   EXAMPLE   1.    Which is the missing figure? (a)                        (b)                        (c)                         (d)   Explanation (a): Number of balls changes from 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 7 boxes and 2 to 4, 4 to 6, ....... boxes Pattern followed: Number of balls in 7th box is 8.   2.   How many shaded circles will be there in pattern 81?

ANALOGY A pair of related terms/figures is provided and a similar relationship is to be established between two other terms/figures or other pair to identify the missing term/figure.   CLASSIFICATION A set of terms/figures is given in which all, except one follow similar properties. A student has to identify the property followed in the set and find the odd one out.     EXAMPLE   1.         Look at the figures below carefully. Which of the figures is different from the rest?              (a)           (b)               (c)                  (d)   Explanation (b): The figure in option (b) is made up of both straight and curved lines.   2.         There is a certain relationship between the pair of figures given on either side of : Identify the relationship of the given pair and find the missing term in the other pair.  (a)                      (b)                        (c)                        (d)   Explanation (b): The left and right part of the figure of the first figure of left pair is removed and the top and bottom parts are left. Also, for the parts which are left, the shaded part becomes unshaded and vice-versa.   3.         There is a certain relationship between the pair of figures given on either side of : Identify the relationship of the first pair and find the missing term of the second pair. (a) PQR                         (b) PQT                         (c) RQP                         (d) TPR   Explanation (b):           The rule followed is So, if we follow the same rule     4.         In the given question, four numbers are given. Out of these, three are alike in a certain way but the rest one is different. Choose the one which is different from rest of the three. (a) 6                              (b) 12                            (c) 18                            (d) 9   Explanation (d): Except (d), all others are multiples of 6 or, except (d) all are even numbers.

COUNTING OF GEOMETRJCAL SHAPES Identify the shapes with their names and images and count the figure.   SYMMETRY If a line divides any figure in identical parts, then figure is symmetrical about the line and the line is called line of symmetry.   AREA AND PERIMETER USING SQUARE PAPER We can find the perimeter of the figures by counting the number of boundaries of squares drawn on the square paper and for the area of regular and irregular figure by counting the squares enclosed on a square paper.     EXAMPLE  1.   Area of the shaded figure if area of 1 \[=\,\,1\,{{m}^{2}}\] Number of complete squares =17 Number of half squares = 5 Area of figure is  (Because area of 1  = 1 m2)     NET OF GEOMETRICAL SHAPES Net of cube: There are different types of net of a cube, depending upon that how you unfold it.  
Net of a cube has 6 faces and all are squares. Net of open cube box has 5 squares.
  Net of cuboid: Same as cube, it also has different types of net, depending upon that how you unfold it.            
Net of cuboid has 6 faces, in which pair of opposite faces are same.
  ROTATION Turning of any figure around a point is called rotation.  rotation means figure rotates  or .  rotation means figure rotates  or . 2 half rotations means one full rotation.   EMBEDDED FIGURES A figure (X) is said to be embedded in a figure (Y), if figure (Y) contains figure (X) as one of its part.   Type I: Identify the small part hidden in given figure. In such type of problems, a figure (X) is given followed by four parts such that one of them is embedded in figure (X). The student has to identify such part.   Type II: Identify the figure in which given part is hidden. In such type of problems, a figure (X) is given followed by four figures in such a way that figure (X) is embedded in only one of the option figures. The candidate has to select such figure in which more...

Mirror Images Suppose someone stands in front of a plane mirror. If he lifts his left hand, the image in the mirror shows his right hand and vice-versa. The left half of a body becomes right half of its mirror image and right half becomes left half.   Note:    If not mentioned, the mirror is assumed to be placed to vertically right of the object.   Water Images The water image of an object is the vertically inverted (upside or downside) image of the object. The position of the water layer is horizontally just below the object.     EXAMPLE   1.         Find the mirror-image of figure (X), if the mirror is placed vertically to the right.               (a)                (b)                (c)                (d)   Explanation (b)     2.         Find the water image of figure (X).                   (a)              (b)             (c)              (d)   Explanation (a)  

 DIRECTIONS   Clockwise turn (Right turn): When somebody moves in direction which is same as the moving direction of clock-hands is called clockwise turn.   Anticlockwise turn (Left turn): Moving in the opposite direction of the clockwise direction is called anticlockwise direction.     EXAMPLE   1.         John is facing the community centre. What will he be facing if he turns  clockwise?             (a) Library                     (b) School                                  (c) Police Post                (d) Church   Explanation (c):           clockwise means 3 right angles and one- angle. After three right angles he will be facing church and after  or -turn, he will be facing Police Post.                2.         Which point is in north-west of P?                             (a) P                             (b) Q                             (c) R                              (d) S   Explanation (d):  

Ø     RANKING TEST In Ranking based problems, usually the ranks of one or two persons from the top and from the bottom are mentioned. A student is required to compute either total number of persons or rank of a particular person.   Type I: Identify the position of an object/ a person from left end or right end and rank from top or from bottom. If end positions are not marked then it is taken defaultly (positions from your side), as left position or right position.   Type II: In this type, questions could be asked by interchanging positions of two persons.   Type III: Identify the position or rank of an object or person with respect to the position or rank of other person.   Type IV: Identify the position or rank of an object or a person after removing some objects from the series.     Ø     ALPHABET TEST   Type I: How to arrange the numbers given to the corresponding letters so that they form a meaningful word? Arrange the letters in the different combinations given in options to find a meaningful word.   Type II: Finding the word from the options that can/cannot be formed from the given letters. Students have to observe carefully all the letters given in the question and find the combination of letters from the given options that contains or does not contains letters.   Type III: How to form a meaningful word and find the category of word? Arrange the given jumbled letters in a meaningful word and identify the category in which formed word lies.   Type IV: How to identify the combination of letters that has same number of skipped letters between the adjacent letters? Write the alphabetical series in order, then observe carefully all the options.   Ø     LOGICAL SEQUENCE OF WORDS In such type of problems some words are given. These words have some relationship amongst one another or have a specific sequence. A candidate is required to identify this relationship or sequence and to put them in a logical sequence. This sequence may be according to size, age, happening, need etc.     EXAMPLE   1.         Priti scored more than Rahul. Yash scored as much as Divya. Latika scored less than Manju. Rahul scored more than Yash. Manju scored less than Divya. Who scored the lowest?                (a) Manju                       (b) Yash                        (c) Latika                       (d) Rahul   Explanation (c):           The students scored in the ascending order are as follows. Priti > Rahul > Yash = Divya > Manju > Latika. So, Latika scored the lowest.   2.         Arrange the words in a meaningful logical order and then select the appropriate sequence from the options provided below each of the groups of words.         more...

PUZZLE TEST This is a brain game that make kids smarter. Puzzle games usually focus to figure out or memorise patterns.     EXAMPLE   1.         Five boys took part in a race. Raj finished before Mohit but behind Gaurav. Ashish finished before Sanchit but behind Mohit. Who won the race?               (a) Raj                               (b) Gaurav                 (c) Mohit                        (d) Ashish   Explanation (b):           Raj finished before Mohit but behind Gaurav. So, the order is Gaurav, Raj, Mohit. Ashish finished before Sanchit but behind Mohit. So, the order is Mohit, Ashish, Sanchit. Thus, the order is: Gaurav, Raj, Mohit, Ashish, Sanchit. Clearly, Gaurav won the race.     2.         Varun, Raj and Mohit are good in Science. Mohit and Raj are good in Maths and English, Varun and Raj are good in Computers. Sachin is good only in English. Who is good in all subjects?                (a) Raj                           (b) Mohit                       (c) Sachin                                  (d) Varun   Explanation (a):           We explain above conditions in tabular form: Raj is good in all subjects.  

Ø     WHAT IS CODING? Coding is a method of expressing something in secret way.    Ø     WHAT IS DECODING? Decoding is a process to understand a code language.   Ø     TYPES OF CODING 1.    Letter Coding: Letters are used in forward or backward or both the directions for making some code language. 2.    Direct Letter Coding: Letters of a word are directly replaced by other letters. For example:           Word                                         Code            SALLY                                      BDCCZ Here, S, A, L and Y are replaced by B, D, C and Z. Similarly, LAYS can be coded as CDZB. 3.    Number/Symbol Coding: Numerals or symbols are assigned to words.                4.    Substitution Coding: Some particular words are assigned to certain names.                 EXAMPLE   1.         If INDIA is coded as 23426 and GREED is coded as 78994, then how will DEAR be coded?               (a) 2396                        (b) 9468                        (c) 4968                         (d) 4986   Explanation (c): DEAR: 4968             2.         If the code of PRESENT is TNESERP and code of PAPER is REPAP, then what will be the code of MONDAY?             (a) YADNOM                 (b) YADOMN                 (c) YADMNO                 (d) YADMON   Explanation (a):           Letters of word are written in reverse order to get their code. So, code for MONDAY is YADNOM.
