Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions. There is no field of human endeavour that has been so misunderstood as health. While health which connotes well-being and the absence of illness has a low profile, it is illness representing the failure of health which virtually monopolizes attention because of the fear of pain, disability and death. Even Sushruta had warned that this provides the medical practitioner power over the patient which could be misused. Till recently, patients had implicit faith in their physician whom they loved and respected, not only for his knowledge but also in the total belief that practitioners of this noble profession, guided by ethics, always placed the patients interest above all other considerations. This rich interpersonal relationship between the physician, patient and family has, barring a few exceptions, prevailed till the recent past, for caring was considered as important as curing. Our indigenous systems of medicine like ayurveda and yoga have been more concerned with the promotion of the health of both the body and mind and with maintaining a harmonious relationship not just with fellow beings but with nature itself, of which man is an integral part. Healthy practices like cleanliness proper diet, exercise and meditation are part of our culture which sustains people even in the prevailing conditions of poverty in rural India and in the unhygienic urban slums. These systems consider disease as an aberration resulting from disturbance of the equilibrium of health, which must be corrected by gentle restoration of this balance through proper diet, medicines and the establishment of mental peace. They also teach the graceful acceptance of old age with its infirmities resulting from the normal degenerative process as well as of death which is inevitable. This is in marked contrast to the western concept of life as a constant struggle against disease, aging and death which must be fought and conquered with the knowledge and technology derived from their science a science which with its narrow dissective and quantifying approach, has provided us the understanding of the microbial causes of communicable diseases and provided highly effective technology for their prevention, treatment and control. This can rightly be claimed as the greatest contribution of western medicine and

Problem Figures

Answer Figures

The Figures on the left are Problem Figures and those on the right are 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 second figure is double the first figure with each element half darken in a particular way. The first figure is one square and the second figure is two squares. The third and fourth figures should have the same relationship as the first and the second have. That means the fourth figure should be double the third figure and also each element half darken in the same way. Answer figures 1, 3 and 5 are having two circles. However only answer figure(5) has each circle half darken in the same way. Therefore mark (5) as the correct answer.

(2) Classification : Q. 86 Problem-Cum-Answer Figures

In classification, the Problem Figures themselves are also the Answer Figures. Out of the five figures (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) four are similar in a certain way. One figure is not like the other four. That means four figures form a group. The question is which one of the figures does not belong to this group ? Look at the question above. Of the five figures, four figures are having at least one side curved, whereas one figure has square with all the sides as straight lines. The four figures form a group. The square does not belong to this group. Therefore, Mark (1) as the correct answer. Q. 87 Now attempt the following question : Problem-Cum-Answer Figures

(3) Series : Problem Figures Answer Figures

Note that, the five figures on the left are called Problem Figures. The five figures on the right are called Answer Figures. They are indicated by numbers (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5). The five 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 sixth figure be ? In the example above as you go from left to right, you find the number of symbols increases by 1, each symbol is repeated once and all the sybols move by one space to their right. (In anti-clockwise direction) The question is, if all the three changes continue what will be next i.e. sixth figure ? The answer would be, it would have six symbols, each symbol repeated twice and the left side symbol i.e. the triangle in the fifth problem figure moves to its right by one space. Now look at the Answer Figures. You find that Anshwer Figure (4) has all these characteristics. Therefore, mark (4) as correct answer. Q. 88.

Q 89.

In each of the following problems a related pair of figures is followed by five numbered pairs of figures. Select the pair that has a relationship similar to that in the original pair. The best answer is to be selected from a group of fairly close choices. Now study the following problems. Problem Figure Answer Figures

Q. 90.

In the Problem figure, the element II of the figure is related to the element I of the figure in a certain way. The element II has one side more than the element I. Also, the number of lines out side the sides of the element II is one more than those of the element I. The pair in the Answer figure No. 5 has the same relationship i.e. the element II of the figure has one side more than the element I of the figure. Also, the number of lines outsides the sides of the element II are three while such lines are two in the case of element number I. Therefore, mark (5) as the correct answer. Problem Figure Answer Figures

Q. 91.

In the Problem figure, the element II of the figure is related to the element I of the figure in a certain way. Both the elements are lines with an arrow head but the element II has the arrow head reversed, while the element I has usual arrow head. Also the line in the element is rotated clockwise through 900 to form the line in the element II. In the answer figure No. 2 both the elements of the figure are lines. But the element II is having the reversed curved head compared to the curved head of element I. Also the line in element I is rotated clockwise through 900 to form the line in the element II. Therefore Mark (2) as the correct answer. Now attempt the following question : Problem Figure Answer Figures

Q. 92-95. In each of the following problems, a series is established if the positions of the two out of five numbered figures are interchanged. The position of the first unnumbered figure remains the same. It is the beginning of the series. The earlier of the two numbered figures whose positions are interchanged is the Answer. If it is not necessary to interchange the positions of figures to establish the series, write (5) as your answer. Remember that when the series is established the figures change from left to right (i. e. from the unnumbered figure to the last figure), in a specific order. Q.92. Problem Figures

Q. 93.

In this problem a series is established by interchanging the positions of figures (3) and (5). Therefore, mark (3) as the correct answer. Problem Figures

Q. 94

In this problem, a series is already established. It is not necessary to interchange the positions of any two numbered figures. Therefore, Mark (5) as the correct Answer. Now solve the following problems. Problem Figures
