  Comprehensions Based on Story / Incident   Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follow:   ·                     Example 1 I was lying on a ridge scanning with field glasses a rock cliff' opposite me. I saw tahr the most sure-footed of all Himalayan goats. On a edge halfway up the cliff, a tahr and her kid were lying asleep. Presently the tahr got to her feet, stretched herself, and the kid immediately began to feed. After a minute the mother freed herself, took a few steps along the edge, poised for a moment, then jumped down on to another and a narrower edge   some twelve to fifteen feet below her. As soon as it was left alone the kid started running backwards and forwards, stooping every now and then to peer down at its mother, but unable to summon the courage to jump down to her for below the narrow edge, was a sheer drop of a thousand feet. I was too far away to hear whether the mother was encouraging her young, but from the way her head was turned I believe she was doing so. The kid was getting more and more agitated and, possibly fearing that it would do something foolish, the mother went to what looked like a mere crack in the vertical rock face and  climbing it, rejoined her young. Immediately on doing so she lay down, presumably to prevent the kid from feeding.   After a while she got to her feet again, allowed the kid to drink for a minute, poised carefully on the brink, and jumped down while the kid again ran backwards and forwards above her. Seven times in the course of the next half-hour this procedure was gone through, until finally the kid, abandoning itself to its fate, jumped, and landing safely beside its mother was rewarded by being allowed to drink its fill. The lesson for her young, that it was safe to follow where she led, was over for that day.   1.            Which of the following excerpts from the passage best bears out the description of the thar as a sure-footed mountain goat?             (a) "Seven times in the course of the next half-hour this procedure was gone through."             (b) "The lesson for her young was over for that day."             (c) "The mother went to what looked like a. mere crack in the vertical rock face rejoined her young.             (d) ?I was too more...

  Comprehensions Based on General Topics             Comprehension means understanding whatever you read and answering questions related to it.   ·                     Example 1 Direction the following carefully the follow:      Yendala Soundarya and Etimarpu Rajani scripted history by becoming the first-ever women hockey players from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to be members of the Indian team which qualified     for the 2016 Rio Olympics. India made it to the next edition of Olympics (for the first time after 36 years) by virtue of defeating Japan 1-0 in the play-off match for the fifth place and both Ms. Soundarya and Ms. Rajani were part of the team in the World Cup semi-final league matches in Belgium.   For someone who took to hockey watching seniors and playing for India since 2006, the 25-year-old Ms. Soundarya was also a member of the Indian team which won the silver in the Senior Asia Cup and the Champions Trophy.   "I feel honoured to play for India, coming from a place like Nizamabad (she was a student of Modern Public School) which has no history of hockey players/' Ms. Soundarya exclaims. "I owe my success to my first coach Maqbool in Nizamabad and then to the SAI coaches, including Gloria, at the SAI Centre in Hyderabad, where I trained for five years the star player recalled. SAI hockey coach P. Madhukaran, who was earlier the Indian women's World Cup coach, recalls the abundance of talent these girls have shown in their formative years. Him this achievement by women's hockey team is no surprise because of their commitment and sincerity to keep improving. The last time India played in Olympics was in the 1980 edition when it was given a direct entry because of the boycott led by USA in the Moscow edition.   1.            Which of the following gave Indiari Women Hockey team an entry to the Rio Olympics 2016?             (a) Winning of the Champions Trophy             (b) Winning silver in the Senior Asia Cup             (c) Win over Japan in the fifth-place play-off of the Hockey World League Semifinals             (d) All of these             (e) None of these   2.            Last time India got a direct entry to play in Olympics. Why?             (a) Because Indian team was Asia champion             (b) Because more...

Geometry   In our daily life we observe different geometrical shapes. These geometrical shapes are not only the matter of study of mathematics but are directly related without daily life. The basic geometrical figures are made up of lines and angles.   Line Segment It is the straight path between two points. In other words we can say that it has two end points and is of finite length.   Ray When a line segment extends infinitely in one direction, it is called a ray. Simply we can say that a ray has one end point and infinite length.   Line When both end of a line segment extended infinitely, it is known as a line. Simply we can say that a line has no end point and infinite length.   Parallel Lines Two lines are said to be parallel if the distance between them always remains same at each and every point. The parallel lines never intersect each other. In other words we can say that if two lines do not have any common point that they are said to be parallel. In the figure I and parallel lines.   Angle If two rays have common end point then the inclination between two rays is called an angle.   Types of Angles The following are different types of angles:
  •            Acute Angle: The angle whose measure is more than \[0{}^\circ \]and less than \[90{}^\circ \] is called an acute angle.

Applied Mathematics   In this chapter, we will learn about sets, operations on sets, venn diagrams and other real life word problems on average and annual installments.   Empty Set (or null set) A set containing no element is called an empty set. It is represented by {} or \[\phi \] (read as phi). eg. The set of all whole numbers than 0.   Singleton Set A set containing a single element is called a singleton set. eg. The set of all even prime numbers.   Disjoint Sets Two set A and B are called to be disjoint, if they have no elements in common. e.g. Sets A {2, 4, 6, 8, 4, 10, 12} and B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11}             \[\Rightarrow A\cap B=\phi \]       \[\Rightarrow \]A and B are disjoint sets.   Subset and Superset For any two sets A and B if every element of A is an element of B, then A is called the subset of B and B is called superset of A.             \[\Rightarrow A\subseteq B\,\,\,or\,\,\,B\supseteq A \] Here the symbol \['\subset '\] stands for ?is a subset of?. eg. Set of all primes is a subset of the set of all whole numbers. Note: Empty set is a subset of every set.   The number of subsets of a set A having n elements is 2n. Every set is a subset of itself i.e. \[A\cap A\,\,\,and\,\,\,B\subset B\].

If A = {3, 4, 5} and more...

  Reasoning and Aptitude   Learning process is dependent on ones ability to think logically and reason quickly and effectively. So Reasoning and logic skills are an important part in our progress as these skills are very useful in our day to day life. In this chapter, we will learn various problems related to reasoning and aptitude.   Problems Based on Inserting a Latter In these types of problems, you are given two sets of two different words. The last letter of the first word and the first letter of the second word in each problems are left blank. You have to fill that letter which completes both the words.  
  •              Example:
(a) E                                                                             (b) K (c) T                                                                             (d) L (e) None of these Ans.     (b) Explanation: Clearly the letter ?k? will completed all four words. RISK, KIND, SICK, KITE   Problems Based on Logical Operators In these types of problems, we have to read the statements and on the basis of these statements, we have to find out the correct conclusions out of the given conclusions.

Statements:     A = B,   B \[\le \] C, C \[\ge \] more...
