How to show your answer : Each question is followed

by answers which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Select
the most appropriate answer. Then by using HB Pencil
blacken the oval bearing the correct answer number
against the serial number of the question. For
example, if the answer to Question Number 2 is
answer number 5, it is shown as follows :

Please also note that you should not use an H, 2H/HH, 3H

type of pencils. The marks made by such hard pencil will
be too light and will not be read by the computerised
machine. So such hard pencils are NOT TO BE USED.
If you use too soft pencils like 2B/BB, 3B etc., your marks
will be too dark. So when you want to change your answer
by erasing the first one, there may be smudges or dark
marks in place of the erased answer and around. So soft
pencils are NOT TO BE USED. THEREFORE, USE ONLY
HB PENCILS.

Please note that the oval should be dark enough and

should be filled in as completely as possible. You
need not make special efforts to darken any oval
artistically.
How to change your Answer : If you wish to change
your answer ERASE completely the already darkened
oval by using good quality eraser and then blacken the
new oval bearing your revised answer number.
While changing the answer, erasing the earlier answer
completely is extremely essential. If it is not erased
completely, smudges will be left on the erased oval
as shown below and the question will be read as
having two answers and will be ignored for giving
any credit.

IV. IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. The machine first reads the Test Form No. on side 1
in Box No. 14 of the answersheet and then evaluates
your answers as per the correct answers of questions
in that form. Therefore, you MUST SHOW YOUR TEST
FORM NO. CORRECTLY BY FILLING THE CORRECT
OVALS BY HB PENCIL.

you do not lose time while the replacement of the

defective booklet is being done.
7. If the question is skipped care should be taken while
marking the answer of the next question. It should be
marked against the appropriate question serial number
leaving blank the answer spaces for the skipped
questions.
8. No extra time will be given for darkening the ovals
after the time for the objective tests is over and the
STOP Signal is given.
9. You are advised in your interest to apportion the time
given judiciously and not to utilise too much time on a
particular test(s) at the cost of some other tests.

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. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE BE
CAREFUL IN MARKING YOUR ANSWERS.

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.

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. 12. 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.

Note that the four figures given first at the left are called
Problem Figures. The five figures given next are called
Answer Figures. They are indicated by numbers 1, 2, 3,
4 and 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.17 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. 18.

Note that the number of arrows is increasing by 1 everytime

and that they are gradually falling towards the left. In the
sixth figure there should be six arrows and they should
fall further and be lying flat, i.e. they should be horizontal.
