  Working With HTML   Introduction In the contemporary world, Internet is the latest buzzword which is playing as vital role in the overall development of Information Technology. Internet is a network of millions of computers connected to each other through network cables and satellite links, sharing varied information and data around the world. The information on internet is available at different websites represented by www, which can be accessed by millions of users at anytime. Have you ever thought. Which technology is used to create a website? What lies behind the varied information that you get from Websites? Language is the key to all the question. We need a language to create a websites. HTML is the most widely used language to design web page contents for the Internet.   History of HTML The founder of HTML was Tim Berners-Lee. It has become extremely popular and well-known in the 1990's when the Internet had been developing rapidly. HTML, initially known as GML(General Mark-up language).It was a powerful tools that aimed at creating documentation language in which one could mark the title, headings, text, font selection and much more. In 1986, this concept got standardized by ISO and was named SGML (Standard Generalized Mark - up language), which is a higher level markup language that has long been a favourite of the department of defence and many other organizations with a truly large volume of document to manage. Like HTML, it describes formatting and hypertext links an defines different components of a documents. The language HTML was modified many times leading to a number of versions, i.e. HTML version 0 to Version 5, which is the latest one.      
  • HTML: It stands for Hyper Text Mark- up Language. HTML is a complete cod package that allows the user to create web pages. It includes text and graphics. We can add link to the web pages.
  • HYPER TEXT: Hypertext is the text used to link various web pages, which on clicking opens a new web page.
  • MARK - UP: It means highlighting the text either by underlying or displaying it different colors.
  • LANGUAGE: It refers to the way of communication between web pages, which has its own syntax and rules.
  HTML Basic Tags and Their Attributes An HTML document consists of text, which comprises the content of the document and tags, which define the structure and appearance of the document. The basic structure of an HTML document is simple with the entire document bound by a pair ofandtags.   HTML Document Structure: Every HTML document should follow this general form:  
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Title of page is written here </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>The HTML tags that define your page go here </BODY> </HTML>
  The <HTML> Tag: The more...

WHAT IS SERIES COMPLETION? A series made up of alphabetical letters or numerals or combination of both may have one or more terms missing, one term wrong etc. You have to find out the missing term(s) or identify the wrong term in the question from the given options.   Trick: To solve such problems first identify the rule on which the given series has been generated.   Type-I To Find out Missing Term(s) In these type of questions, a series is given in which one or more terms are missing usually marked with '?'. You have to find out the right option by identifying the rule to continue the series.     EXAMPLE     1.  Find out the missing term marked with '?'.                                        \[-\,4,7,29,\text{ }62,?\]      (a) 95                                   (b) 106                          (c) 62                            (d) 102   Explanation (b): We observe that, The pattern is +11, +22, +33, + 44 So, 5th term = 44 + 4th term = 44 + 62 = That is,     2.  Find out the missing terms each marked with (?) in the series given below. B, C, ?, H, L, ?, W      (a) E, Q                    (b) D, N                         (c) E, M                         (d) D, Q   Explanation (a):     3.  Find out the missing term to replace the mark '?'. hlp, txb, fjn, rvz, ?      (a) aei                      (b) cgk                           (c) dhl                           (d) dfh   Explanation (c): In each term, there is a gap of 3 letters between any two consecutive letters. Also there is a gap of 3 letters between the last letter of a term and the first letter of the next term.   4.  Find out the missing letters in alphabetical series given below. b_a b_a_ca_c_be_      (a) abcabc                (b) abbcca                     (c) ccbbaa                                  (d) aabbcc   Explanation (c): The complete given series is bca/bca/bca/bca/bca. Clearly, the pattern bca is repeated.   5.  Find out the missing term.      H4J, ?, F9N, E13P, D18R     (a) I5K                       (b) G6L                         (c) MOL                        (d) T7Z   Explanation (b): 1st characters: Middle characters: 3rd characters:     Type-II To Find Out Wrong Term In this type of questions, a series is given of which one term does not follow the rule on which the series has been generated. You have to find out such term from the alternatives followed by the question.     6.  Find the wrong term in the given series.      2, 4, 16, 32, 128,250, 1024      (a) 16                       (b) 128                          (c) 250                          (d) 1024   Explanation (c): The correct pattern more...

WHAT IS ANALOGY? In such type of problems a particular relationship is followed between two pairs of letters, words, numbers, group of numbers, group of letters given on the either side of: : . Student has to identify the relationship and choose the correct answer from the given four options followed by the question.     EXAMPLE     1.  In the following question, there is a pair of numbers on either side of the sign "::". Each pair is connected in the same way. One number of a pair is missing and marked '?'. Identify the relationship and choose a number from given alternatives that can replace the mark'?'.       5 : 126 :: 4 : ?     (a) 16                                    (b) 64                            (c) 65                (d) 120   Explanation (c): The rule used is \[x:\text{ }{{x}^{3}}+1\] That is on either side of:: second number = (1st number)3 + 1     2.  BEGK is related to ADFJ in the same way as PSVY is related to  _________   ?       (a) LOQT                (b) ROUX                      (c) OTUZ                      (d) ORUX   Explanation (d): Clearly, each letter of the first group in a pair is moved one step backward to obtain the corresponding letter of the second group.                                  

WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION? In this topic a set of four objects/elements/things is provided, out of them three are similar in some way, while the other one is different. A student has to choose the odd one out.     EXAMPLE     1.         Choose the odd one out. (a) AdFi                         (b) BeGj                        (c) CfHl                         (d) Dgll   Explanation (c): In options (a), (b) and (d), the gap between 1st and 2nd letter as well as 3rd and 4th letter is of 2 letters. While the gap between 2nd and 3rd letter is of 1 letter according to the English Alphabet sequence as shown below. Option (a): A \[\] d \[\] F \[\] i Option (b): B \[\] e \[\] G \[\]j       Option (c): C \[\] f \[\] H \[\] 1 Option (d): D\[\]g \[\]     I \[\] 1 Clearly only in option (c), there is a gap of 3 letters between last two letters.     2.         Choose the odd one out. (a)\[\left( 1-1 \right)\]                    (b)\[\left( 7-341 \right)\]                (c)\[\left( 4-64 \right)~\]               (d) \[\left( 10-1000 \right)\]   Explanation (b): In each pair, the second number is the cube of the first number as shown below. Option (a): \[{{1}^{3}}=1\] Option (b): \[{{7}^{3}}\ne 341\] Option (c): \[{{4}^{3}}=64\] Option (d): \[{{10}^{3}}=1000\]

WHAT IS CODING? Coding is a method of expressing something in a secret way.   WHAT IS DECODING? Decoding is a process to understand a code language.   TYPES OF CODING 1.            Letter Coding: In this type of coding, letters are used in forward or backward or both the directions for making some code language. 2.            Direct Letter Coding: Sometimes letters of a word are directly replaced by other letters. For example. Word                            Code ZOOLOGY                    PMMTMHP Here, Z, O, L, G and Y are replaced by P, M, T, H and D. Similarly GOOGLY can be coded as HMMHTD. 3.            Number/Symbol Coding: Sometimes numerals or symbols are assigned to words. 4.            Substitution Coding: Sometimes some particular words are assigned to certain names.     EXAMPLE  
  • In a certain code language 'pit ne' means 'come here"; "ne ta ja' means 'come and go' and 'ja sa re' means "you and me". What does 'ta' means in that code language?
  • (a) go                            (b) and                          (c) here                          (d) come   Explanation (a): (i) pit ne - come here (ii) ne ta ja - come and go (iii) ja sa re - you and me From (i) and (ii), ne - come From (ii) and (iii), ja - and Hence, ta ? go

    In this section, problems are based on blood relations. The process of solving these problems (puzzles) depends upon the deeply knowledge of blood relations. The common relations are: Father, Mother, Grandparents, Wife, Husband, Son, Daughter, Grandchild, Sister, Brother etc.   Remarks: 1. Relatives on the mother's side are called 'maternal'. For example, mother's brother is called maternal uncle. 2. Relatives on the father's side are called 'paternal'. For example, father's brother is called paternal uncle. 3. Assume a relation as paternal relation, unless stated otherwise.   HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS Usually two types of problem are asked: (i) Uncoded       (ii) Coded. (i) To solve uncoded problems, find right gender of required relation and eliminate all wrong choices if any. Also find generation gaps to solve quickly. (ii) To solve coded problems, just take two suitable persons under consideration and move forward or backward as per question with mentioning their gender and relations.     EXAMPLE     1.         Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follow: \['A\text{ }+\text{ }B'\]means 'A is the sister of B', \['A\text{ }-\text{ }B'\]means 'A is the father of B', \['A\text{ }\div \text{ }B'\]means 'A is the brother of B' and \['A\text{ }\times \text{ }B'\]means 'A is the mother of B'. What does \[P-Q\text{ }\times \text{ }R\div S+T\]mean? (a) T is the maternal grandfather of P                                (b) P is the maternal grandfather of T (c) T is the uncle of P                                                                  (d) P is the uncle of T   Explanation (b): Let us commence with S and T, that is, from right to the left of \['P-Q\times \text{ }R\div S+T'.\] \[S+T\Rightarrow S\]is the sister of T So, 'S' must be female. We placed F for female and M for male above the members. \[R\div S\Rightarrow R\]is brother of S means R is male \[\Rightarrow \] R, S, T are siblings \[Q\times R\Rightarrow Q\]is mother of R means Q is female Q is the mother of R, S, T \[\text{P}-Q\Rightarrow P\]is father of Q Clearly, T's mother is Q who is daughter of P. So, P is maternal grandfather of T. Hence option (b) is correct.   2.         Pointing out to a lady, Rajan said, "She is the daughter of the woman who is the mother of the husband of my mother."              Who is the lady to Rajan? (a) Aunt                         (b) Grand-daughter                      (c) Daughter                   (d) Sister   Explanation (a): The relations may be analysed as follows: Mother's husband - Father; Father's mother - Grandmother; Grandmother's daughter - Father's sister; Father's sister - Aunt.              So, the lady is Rajan's aunt.

    In such type of problems a puzzle consisting of sufficient information is provided. One or more questions are based upon this puzzle. To answer these questions, a student is required to solve the puzzle. The puzzle would consist of problems like §  Placing/Sitting Arrangement §  Sequential Order §  Classification etc.   HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS To solve a puzzle, a candidate is required to analyse the given information. One should make a table or figure or sequence as per given data.     EXAMPLE   There are five friends A, B, C, D and E. D is not as tall as A. A is taller than C but shorter than B. E is shorter than C. No two are equal in height. Who is the tallest? (a) A                             (b) B                             (c) C                             (d) D   Explanation (b): D is not as tall as A \[\Rightarrow \] D < A A is taller than C but shorter than B \[\Rightarrow \] C < A < B E is shorter than C \[\Rightarrow \] E < C Combining last two statements, we get E < C < A < B Combining this last result and the first statement, we get all possible cases as given below: (i) E < C < D < A < B (ii) E < D < C < A < B (iii) D < E < C < A < B In each case, B is the tallest one.

    In these type of questions an input is given followed by its rearrangement steps (output). A student has to study the output steps and rearrange the input in question. There are various types of pattern in rearrangement sequence are given. Some of them are as follows: 1. Arrangement of given numbers in ascending/descending order. 2. Arrangement of given words in forward/reverse alphabetical order. 3. Arrangement of sets of numbers/words in reverse order. 4. Changing of places of numbers/words. 5. Arrangement of words in ascending/descending order of number of letters the words consist of.     EXAMPLE     Direction (1 - 2): A number arrangement machine when given an input of numbers rearranges them by following a particular rule in each step as given below:  
    Input    : 45 68 42 12 18 56
    Step I   : 68 45 42 12 18 56
    Step II  : 68 56 45 42 more...
    DIRECTIONS There are eight directions. These are: East (E), West (W), North (N), South (S), North-East (N-E), North-West (N-W), South-East (S-E), and South-West (S-W)   The angle between (East and North) or (North and West) or (South and East) or (South and West) is\[90{}^\circ \]. Clockwise : The direction in which the clock moves. Anticlockwise : The opposite direction of the movement of the hands of a clock.     EXAMPLE     1. A farmer everyday goes to his farm from his home. He walks 400 m towards South. He turns to his left and walks 600 m. He then turns to his right and walks 200 m and reach his farm. How far is the farm from the home and in which direction? (a) 600\[\sqrt{2}\] m, North-East                                      (b) 600\[\sqrt{2}\] m, South-East (c) 800 m, North-East                                          (d) 800 m, South-East                  Explanation (b): Let the home be at H. The farmer first walks 400 m from H to A, then A to B 600 m and then B to F 200 m. F be the position of farmer's farm In \[\Delta HCF,\] HC = 400 + 200 = 600 m CF = 600 m \[\angle HCF=\text{ }90{}^\circ \] Using Pythagoras theorem, \[H{{F}^{2}}=H{{C}^{^{2}}}C{{F}^{2}}=2H{{C}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow HF=\sqrt{2\times 600\times 600}=600\sqrt{2}\,\,m\] Hence farm is \[600\sqrt{2}\,\,m\] away from the home in South-East direction.     2. A rat runs 20' towards East and turns to right, runs 10' and turns to right, runs 9' and again turns to left, runs 5" and then turns to left, runs 12' and finally turns to left and runs 6'. Now, in which direction is the rat facing? (a) East                         (b) West                         (c) North                        (d) South   Explanation (c): A is initial position & B is final position. Rat is now facing in north direction.

    Type-I: In this section, some groups of geometrical figures are given. A student is required to find which group of the figures show the reasonable relationship among the given classes of items.     EXAMPLE     1.         Which one of the diagrams given below represents the relationship among the following three groups of items?             Teachers, Doctors, Children (a)                (b)          (c)     (d)   Explanation (c): Some teachers may be doctors and some doctors may be teachers. So teachers and doctors can be represented by two intersecting circles as: But the class of children is entirely separate from these two. So, the final Venn diagram would be as shown below:     Type-II: In this section, a Venn diagram is given, whose each segment (geometrical figure) represents a section of items. To answer certain questions, a student is required to analyse the diagram carefully.     2.         Direction (I - II): The following questions are based on the diagram and information given below:                                                                    Triangle represents the married persons         Circle represents unemployed                   Square represents men                     Rectangle represents vegetarians    Answer the following questions:                               I.   How many persons are male vegetarians, who are employed and unmarried?                        (a) 70                            (b) 40                            (c) 120                          (d) 180   Explanation (a): Male vegetarians are in common regions of only square and rectangle. Number of male vegetarians who are employed and unmarried is 70.                    II.  The number of married men, who are unemployed and vegetarians is                        (a) 10                            (b) 20                            (c) 30                            (d) 40   Explanation (d): The given four characteristics are represented by the common region to all the four geometrical figures. That is 40. So, the required number of men = 40
