 GENERAL INFORMATION
Sainik Schools were opened in different
regions of our country in the year 1960-61
with the utmost efforts of the then Defence
Minister Mr. V.K. Krishna Menon. At present
there are 24 Sainik Schools in our Country.
The foundation of some more Sainik Schools
is under the consideration of the Government
of India. Sainik Schools are residential schools
for boys providing public school education with
a military bias. The aim of these schools is to
prepare students academically, physically and
psychologically for entry into the National
Defence Academy at Kharakvasla, Pune.
Sainik schools are affiliated to the Central
Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
Sainik School students appear in the
Secondary or Senior School Certificate exami-
nation conducted by the Central Board of
Secondary Education under 10+2 pattern of
the education. The medium of instructions in
the sainik schools is English.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration of the Sainik Schools is
vested in an autonomous body called ‘Board of
Governors, Sainik School Society’ under the
chairmanship of the Defence Minister. The
Chief Ministers and Education Ministers of the
states in which these Sainik Schools are
situated, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Defence
and Honorary Secretary Sainik Schools Society
are the members of the Board of Governors.
Hony. Secretary Sainik Schools Society looks
after the general administration of the Sainik
Schools. He is assisted by the ‘Inspectorate of
Sainik Schools’ consisting of high ranking
officers of the Armed forces. In addition, the
general administration of each Sainik School is
governed by the Local Board of Administration
under the chairmanship of the General Officer
Commanding of the area in which Sainik
School is situated. Vice-chancellor of the
University, State Finance Secretary; Deputy
Secretary of the State Education and General
Administration, Local Member of Parliament,
District Magistrate and the parent member
elected by the parents/guardians of the
students, are the members of the Local Board
of Administration. Principal of the Sainik
School is the member Secretary of the Local
Board of Administration.
The administrative and academic head of
the School is the Principal. He is a defence
service officer of the rank of Colonel, Group
Captain or Captain. In the discharge of duties
he is assisted by a Head Master and a Registrar
(Lt. Colonel or the equivalent ranks in Indian
Air Force and Indian Navy). Senior Master,
House Masters, Teachers, Accountant,
Librarian, Quarter Master, Physical Training
Master etc., help in smooth running of the
Sainik School.
ACADEMIC INSTRUCTIONS
Academic instructions are imparted by well
qualified and dedicated teachers. Medium of
instruction in all the Sainik Schools is English.
Special attention is paid to enhance the
academic standard of the boys. Modern
techniques of teaching are used by the
dedicated and learned members of the teaching
staff. To assess the performance of the
students monthly tests are held at the end of
every month. In addition 1st and 2nd Terminal
and Annual Examinations are held after every
three month. Progress reports of the students
are sent to the parents at the end of
examinations. Apart from the academic aspect,
boys are subjected to the obligations inherent
in community living. Good manners and
discipline form an integral part of the academic
training in Sainik Schools.
THE HOUSE SYSTEM
Sainik Schools are residential schools.
Boys live in the houses. Each house is under
the charge of a House Master (a teacher) with
attached tutors and Matron/Hostel Superin-
tendent. House Master selects students for
House appointments as House Captains,
Senior and Junior prefects. These house
appointments help in smooth running of the
house administration. House Masters, Tutors
 ( vii )
Matrons/Hostel Superintendents look after the
boys properly.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Co-curricular activities play an important
part in the training given at the Sainik Schools.
The scheme provides ample scope for the
development of the students’ creative faculties
and skill. Boys learn by doing and participating
in these activities according to their aptitudes.
Photography, Ship modelling, Aero modelling,
Philately, Gardening etc., are some popular co-
curricular activities in the Sainik Schools.
Besides these activities boys also participate in
Music club, Science club, Radio club, Debating
society etc.
DAILY ROUTINE
In daily routine Sainik Schools differ from
Central Schools and other Government
Schools. Boys have a full day programme
consisting of morning P.T. and drill, study
periods, games, Co-curricular activities, N.C.C.,
tutorial periods and self-study. Holidays are
utilised for extra-curricular activities such as
gardening, excursions, study of fauna and
flora, photography etc.
A healthy spirit of rivalry is encouraged
amongst the Houses. Trophies and individual
prizes are awarded to the Houses for various
competitions.

Direction—Below are given examples of the
type of questions that you will find in the test.
Now, look at these examples carefully and see
how they are solved.
A. Among the given choices (A), (B), (C) and
(D), which one of the choices completes the
series ?
15 18 21 24 …
(A) 26 (B) 27
(C) 28 (D) 25
Ans. In the above series, there is a gap of
three numbers between the first number and the
second consecutive number. To continue the
series, the missing number would be 27. Therefore
choice (B) is the correct answer.
Direction—In a similar manner you may be
asked to choose the set of given options to
complete the series for number, alphabets or
figures. You have to grasp the sequence logic and
solve the given problems.
B. There are five sets of figures in which 4
share a common property and make a
group whereas one of them is different.
Find out which figure is different from the
other four ?
(A) (B) (C) (D) (E)
Ans. In the figures given above, (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (E) have two set of lines inside the box
and two sets are outside except figure (A). It has
only one set of lines inside the box. So, the right
answer is (A).
Direction—In the similar manner you may be
asked to choose the set of alphabets or number
which differ from the group. Try to understand the
logic how they are grouped and solve the problem.
C. If you arrange the parts given in each
choice figure (A), (B), (C) and (D) which
figure will exactly make up the key figure
(X) ?
Sainik School-14 (VI) | 9
(X) (A) (B) (C) (D)
Ans. If you join the given fragments of figure
(A) it will make up the key figure (X). Though
figure (D) looks like it will make the exact figure
like (X) but the straight line is much bigger in
comparison to figure (X). So, the right answer is
(A).
D. In the following question, find out which of
the alternatives (A), (B), (C) and (D) will be
formed from the pieces given in the figure
(X) ?
(X) (A) (B) (C) (D)
Ans. Now if you join the given fragments of
figure (X), figure (B) will be formed and none of
the others. So, the right answer is (B).
E. There is one figure (X) given. On the right
side of the figure (X) four choice figures
(A), (B), (C) and (D) are given. If you see
the reflection of figure (X) in water, which
choice figure out of the four figures given
will resemble the water image of figure
(X) ?
(X) (A) (B) (C) (D)
Ans. When you see a reflection of an object
in water the image formed is inverted i.e. the
object is turned upside down. Thus choice (B) is
the correct answer.
F. There is one figure (X) given. On the right
side of the figure (X) four choice figures
(A), (B), (C) and (D) are given. If you see
the figure (X) in the mirror, which figure
out of the four figures will be the mirror
image of figure (X) ? Write the answer in
the answer box.

design is cut (marked by ?) and placed
among the other choices (A), (B), (C) and
(D). Write the choice of the correct figure
which will complete the design ?
(D) 1,7,9 3,5,6 2,4,8
Ans. If you look at the figure you find three
types of figures i.e., triangles, squares and circles.
(C) (D) If you group them based on common properties
then answer (B) meets the common property and
is the correct answer.
J. Figures (1) and (2) have a particular rela-
tionship. Establish the similar relationship
between figures (3) and (4) by choosing a
figure amongst the five alternatives (A),

(at least 10 sentences) (10)
Ans. Students of Art and Painting generally
do lot of practice for drawing figures, sketched
and paintings. They adopt new methods for
drawing figures and sketches. Sometimes they
will sit near a garden and draw figures.
My uncle Ayush is fond of drawing figures
and sketches by a pencil. In the given picture, he
is drawing a figure exactly, similar to the figure
drawn in the book. He has kept a medium size
plane mirror in vertical position on the table. He
has kept an art paper on the table. Holding the
book in his hand, he is drawing the figure given in
the book, on the art paper. He sees the image of
the figure in the mirror. If the image of the figure
is not exactly similar to the figure given in the
book, he uses eraser and again draws the figure.
He is doing the drawing very cautiously.

NUMERICAL APTITUDE TEST
(Objective Type Questions)
 Numerical Aptitude Test
(Objective Type Questions)
The aim of this test is to measure how quickly
and accurately and candidate can do simple
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
There are generally 100 questions in this test
paper. The answer of each question is to be
written in the space provided against it. The time
allotted to solve these question is 15 minutes only.
As the candidate has to answer a large number of
questions in a timited time so he should try the
questions with speed and accuracy.
In order to increase the speed the candidates
are advised to calculate the questions orally and
use short methods. If they are unable to solve a
particular question orally, they may do rough
work, but they need not to write all the calcula-
tions in details while doing rough work. They
should write the calculations in short and to the
point.
The following points are helpful in calcula-
tion—
1. In the case of addition of whole number,
ones are added to ones, tens to tens and hundreds
to hundreds, etc.
2. In the case of subtraction of whole
numbers, ones are subtracted from ones, tens from
tens and hundreds from hundreds etc.
3. To multiply by 5, add one zero to the
multiplicand and divide by 2.
4. To multiply by 25, add two zeroes to the
multiplicand and divide by 4.
5. To multiply by 125, add three zeroes to the
multiplicand and divide by 8.

KNOWLEDGE TEST
 Mathematics Knowledge Test
The aim of this tests is to measure the elemen-
tary knowledge of mathematics of the candidates.
There are 20 questions in this test and candidates
are given 2 hours to solve the whole paper.
Maximum marks of this paper are 100 and thus
each question carries 5 marks. Candidates are
given separate answer sheets to do the calculations
and to write the answers. Rough work is done on
the right side of the sheet. Marks are awarded for
correct methods and correct answers.
Since all the questions carry equal marks, the
candidate should not spend too much time on any
question. If he finds any difficulty in a particular
question, he should omit it and try the next. After
answering all the questions, if he has time, he may
try the unanswered questions left initially.
In this test a great number of questions are to
be answered correctly in a limited interval. There-
fore he should maintain speed and accuracy. He
should not engage himself in other activities like
talking to the invigilators, looking around etc. By
indulging in other activities, he will have no
concentration to answer the questions and hence it
will be difficult for him to finish the paper in time
and accurately.

CHAPTER 10
PERIMETER, AREA AND VOLUME
Perimeter—It is the boundry of the figure. In
other words we may say that the perimeter of a
rectilinear figure is the sum of all sides of the
figure. The unit of the perimeter is ‘Metre’.
Area—Area of a rectilinear figure is the
surface bounded by the straight lines of the figure.
Its unit is square metre.
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
Area of the four walls = 2 × height (length
+ breadth)
Volume—The measure of the amount of
space a solid occupies is called the volume of
solid.
Consider about the following solid figures—
A Cube A Cuboid
A Sphere A Cylinder A Cone
All of these occupy the space.
Cuboid—A cuboid is a solid with all equal
length, breadth and height.
For Examples—A brick has not all equal
sides. Hence a cuboid is also called a rectangular
solid.
A cuboid has six faces and twelve edges, the
opposite faces of a cuboid are of equal area and
the corresponding edges are of equal length.
The volume of a cuboid
= length × breadth × height
= l×b×h
The area of six face of a cuboid
= 2 (length × breadth + breadth
× height + height × length)
= 2 (l × b + b × h + h × c)
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= l×b×h
The unit of volume is cubic unit i.e. (unit)3.
Cube—A cube is a solid whose length,
breadth and height are of equal length.
A cube have also six faces of equal area and
twelve edges of equal length.
The volume of a cube
= length × breadth × height
= length × length × length
(Q all side are of equal length)
= l×l×l
= (l )3 = (side)3.
The total area of six faces of a cube
= 2 (l × l + l × l + l × l)
= 2 (l2 + l2 + l2)
= 6l2 = 6 (side)2 .
Example 1. A garden is 250 metres long and
150 metres broad. How much distance does Ram
cover in walking 4 times round the garden ?
Solution : Perimeter of the garden
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (250 + 150)
= 800 m.
∴ Distance covered by Ram in 4 rounds
= 4 × 800
= 3200 metres Ans.
Example 2. A field is 450 metres long and
250 metres broad. Find the cost of putting a fence
around it at the rate of 50 paise per metre.
Solution :
Perimeter of field = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (450 + 250)
= 2 × 700
= 1400 m.
 S.E. / 47

∴ Length of the fence = 1400 m Solution : Area of the four walls

∴ Cost of putting the fence at 50 paise per = 2 × height (length + breadth)

Passage
I am a little myna bird. I live with my father
and mother in the hot, sunny land of South India.
My home was a cosy, well built nest, which was
hidden among the ferny branches of a beautiful
gulmohar tree. My parents were fierce fighters. No
enemy dared to come near our home, if they were
anywhere in the neighbourhood. One bright, sunny
morning, my father and mother left the nest and
went in search of food for their hungry babies.
The day was hot, and I became very restless.
Already the nest was getting far too small for us
four growing baby birds. I was always hungry.
Whenever my mother brought food to the nest I
would open wide my bill and gobble down
whatever she had to offer. No doubt my healthy
appetite accounted for the fact that I was bigger
and more lively than my brothers and sisters.

The Bishop, a pious old man lived with his
sister and housekeeper, Madame Magloire, in a
small house in a French town. They were poor as
the Bishop gave away all that he had to the needy.
One evening Madame Magloire came with the
news that a stranger was in the town and that he
had been turned away from every door on account
of his wretched appearance. The stranger was one
Jean Valjean, a released convict having spent
nineteen years in the galleys. He had stolen a loaf
of bread for his sister’s starving children and had
been sent to the galleys for five years, which was
afterwards lengthened to nineteen years for his
attempting to escape. The savagery of the punish-
ment meted out to him had made him hard-hearted

Atalanta was so beautiful that many gay young
princes and lords were eager to marry her, and her
father also wished her to choose one of them, so
that she and her husband might reign as king and
queen after him. But Atalanta did not care for any
of these young men, and in fact, did not then want
to marry at all, for her greatest delight was still to
take part in sports and races and she could not
love anyone who was not a very good runner. But
at last her father still kept wishing her to get
married, she let it be known that if any young man
could defeat her in a foot race, he should become
her husband. She knew that it was quite safe for
her to say this, since no one had ever been able to
outstrip her in running and she did not mind how
many races she ran because there was nothing she
loved better than running.

Early in the morning the princess left her
palace in great state and went with her maids and
ladies to the temple. There every precaution had
been taken that, while the princess was inside, no
male should enter. But when Birsingh heard that
Sunderbai had gone to the temple, he also went
there with some of his courtiers, unseen by her, so
that he might discover what she would do. None
could refuse Birsingh admittance, so her followed
Sunderbai to where she was worshipping Parvati.
As she worshipped, she prayed aloud, “Queen of
the world, bless in all ways my husband !” Then
she raised her head and as she did so her eyes met
those of Birsingh who at this moment came out of
his hiding place and said with a mocking smile,
“Is this the way you mean to conquer your husband
by your strength and valour as you boasted in your

When the dwarfs came home in the evening
they found Snowdrop lying breathless and
motionless on the ground. They lifted her up,
searched whether she had anything poisonous
about her, unplaced her, combed her hair, washed
her with water and wine, but all was useless, for
they could not bring the darling back to life. They
laid her on a bier and all the seven placed them-
selves round it and mourned for her three long
6 | S. Language A
days. Then they would have buried her, but that
she still looked so fresh and life like and had such
lovely rosy cheeks. “We cannot lower her into the
dark earth.” said they and caused a transparent
coffin of glass to be made, so that she could be
seen on all sides, and laid her in it, writing her
name outside in letters of gold, which told that she
was the daughter of a king. Then they placed the
coffin on the mountain above, and one of them
always stayed by it and guarded it. But there was
little need to guard it, for even the wild animals
came and mourned for snowdrop, the birds also,
first an owl, and then a raven and afterwards a
dove.

The Aryans where keen hunters and caught
lions in snares, and hunted boars with dogs. But
their favourite sport was racing in chariots drawn
by swift horses. After the races they had open-air
dancing and singing. Like other ancient people
they worshipped at first many Gods of nature : the
Gods of the sky, the swift moving sun God, the
God of the storms. For a long time their chief God
was Indra. Later there grew up the great Hindu
religion. As centuries passed and the Aryans
settled, they developed their farming and trade in
the conquered lands. The people became divided
into four main castes. The Brahmans, the
Kshatriyas the Vaishyas and the Shudras. The
duties of these four groups were described in
ancient laws called the ‘Manu Samhita’ or the
Laws of Manu.

One morning, however, not many days later
as I was leaving the house I was startled to find
my little daughter Mini, seated on a bench near the
door, laughing and talking with the great Cabuli-
wallah at her feet. In all her life, it appeared, my
small daughter had never found so patient a
listener, save her father. And already the corner of
her little Sari was stuffed with almonds and raisins,
the gift of her visitor. “Why did you give her these ?”
I said and taking out an eight-anna bit, I handed it
to him. The man accepted the money without
demur and slipped it into his pocket. Alas, on my
return an hour later, I found the unfortunate coin
had made twice its own worth of trouble ! For the
Cabuliwallah had given it to Mini and her mother,
catching sight of the bright round object, had
pounced on the child with : “Where did you get
that eightanna bit ?” “The Cabuliwallah gave it to
me.” said Mini cheerfully.

Phatik was ring leader among the boys of the
village. A new mischief got into his head. There
was a heavy log lying on the mudflat of the river
waiting to be shaped into a mast for a boat. He
decided that they should all work together to shift
the log by force from its place and roll it away.

Phatik’s young brother came up and sat down on
the log in front of them all without a word. Phatik
was furious, “Makhan” he cried, “if you don’t get
down this minute, I’ll thrash you !” Makhan only
moved to a comfortable position. Phathik gave the
word of command to roll the log and Makhan over
together. Makhan heard the order and made it a

In the ice cold lands near the North Pole live a
race of people called Esquimos. The life of these
people, like that of people in the desert, is nomadic.
They move from place to place following the
animals they need for their food and trade. Most
of the animals they look for live near the sea. The
sea cost is inhabited by seals and fish. Here also
come for their food polar bears, wolves, foxes,
gulls and other sea birds. All these animals and
birds are used by the Esquimos for their food.
During the summer, which is very short and not
warm at all the Esquimos live in tents. These tents
are crude little shelters made of skins and
supported in the centre with sticks collected from
driftwood or large bones, like the ribs of whales. In
winter they move to the southernmost part of the
S. Language A | 7
region. They shelter themselves in huts of stone,
rod and skins. In some places they build houses of
blocks of snow with sheets of ice for window. This
type of house is called ‘igloo’.

Most of the land of Japan is mountainous.
The highest mountain of Japan is the ‘Fujiyama’
at the top of which there is an active volcano. Rice
is the main crop and is grown extensively in the
South. It is planted in June and harvested in
September. Then wheat and barley are sown in
autumn and harvested in May. Tea is also grown
on terraced hill-sides in the South of Japan. The
farmers of Japan are very hard working people. By
the use of fertilizers, irrigation and terracing these
farmers raise large crops. Being surrounded by the
ocean the Japanese are also good seafaring people.
They use advanced methods of fishing. They have
motor-driven boats and the nets they use are huge,
often kilometres long, and are made to hang like
drifting curtain in the sea. The most important
food of the people of Japan is rice and fish. The
Japanese eat their rice from bowls with chop-
sticks. They hold two sticks in one hand and pick
the rice from the bowls.

Swamiji was dressed in an orange coloured robe.
He had a big yellow turban on his head. His face
shone as if it was full of light. In his mind, he
bowed down to Mother Saraswati, the goddess of
learning. He asked for her blessings.
Then Swamiji stepped forward and said,
“Sisters and brothers of America !” At once the
listeners burst into a storm of applause. They
clapped their hands again and again. They would
not stop ! They were very happy to be spoken in

were no carpets and the man who lived alone in
the house was so careful that he never left any-
thing about. Cold weather would soon come, and
the wind did blow so hard through the cracks of
the house. Where could the mouse get the material
to build a nest ?
One day the mouse found a box ! While the
owner was gone, he nibbled a hole in it. In the box
he found pieces of paper. They would be fine for
his nest. He pulled some of the paper out, and
carried it to the warmest corner. He worked hard
carrying the paper and shredding it until it looked
soft as wool. On these pieces of paper were
pictures. Whether he liked the pictures or not, no
one knows. But the mouse left the pictures whole.
One day the mouse heard a great deal of
hammering nearby. The poor little mouse was so
frightened that he scampered away. The hamm-
ering went on and at last, the men broke through
into the very corner where the little mouse had
built his nest. The moment they say the nest, they
stopped hammering. They found that the little
mouse had built his nest of the money (notes) that
the man who lived alone had hidden. The pictures
were all carefully smoothed out, and from them it
was found that the mouse’s nest was worth 9,000
rupees. How much more it cost no one could tell
but the man who owned the money and he would
not speak !

When we think of Nepal we are reminded of
snow covered peaks and glaciers of mountain
ridges, and the deep valleys which lie between
them. Some of the highest mountain peaks in the
world are in Nepal. Among these are Annapurna,
Dhaulagiri, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and the tallest
of them all, Everest. The Sherpas, a tough and
hardy tribe of mountain people, come from Nepal
and are as famous as the mountains of the land,
for they have helped many mountaineering
expeditions by working as porters. Without their
knowledge of the mountains and their strength, it
would be difficult for climbers to have all the
equipment that is needed for big expeditions to the
great snow peaks. Some of the Sherpas have
become famous by scaling Everest, the highest
peak in the Himalayas. Tenzing who climbed with
Hillary, belongs to the Sherpa tribe although he
has long been a citizen of India.
Questions
1. What does Nepal remind us of ?
2. Name some of the high mountain peaks in
Nepal.
3. Who are Sherpas ?
4. Who is Tenzing ? With whom did he climb
Mount-Everest ?

In America there lived a famous writer called
Earnest Hemingway. He spent his last years in
Havana, the capital of Cuba. From morning till
evening he was troubled by visitors and telephone
calls. His wife therefore built for him a tower on
the top of a hill, so that he might write without
being disturbed. But Hemingway would often
come down saying that he could think and write
freely in the middle of the noises of the earth. “A
man both is and is not an island” said Hemingway.
S. Language A | 9
What did Hemingway mean ? He meant that a
man must have his own life, but he must not shun
the life of his fellowmen. That is also true of
nations. A nation must follow its own course, but
it must not cut itself off from the life of other
nations. Certainly India cannot do so. Apart from
other reasons, she occupies a central position in
Asia and in the world. How central it is, one look
at the map will show. For many thousands of
years India has been a great meeting place of
people, from nearby places and from afar.
Questions
1. Where did Earnest Hemingway spend his last
years ?
2. Why did Earnest Hemingway’s wife build
one tower for him ?
3. What position does India occupy in Asia ?
4. What was Earnest Hemingway famous for ?
What were his views about his fellowmen ?

George Stephenson was the first man in the
world to drive a steam railway passenger train.
Stephenson used to say, “The sun is a source
of power; coal is bottled sunshine.” And he spent
his life proving his words. He realised his dream
on September 27, 1825.
The first journey, nearly 150 years ago,
through colliery towns in North-East England,
was made with “Locomotion” an engine with 4
feet (1·22 m) diameter, wheels coupled together
and driven by two vertical boilers. Crammed into
open coal trucks were nearly 600 people. But
thousands more lined the 121 /2 miles (34·5 km)
route, as Stephenson drove from Shildon to
Darlington and on the one-time port of Stockton.
It took ‘Locomotion’ just over two hours to
complete the journey, but less than five years
later, Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’ clocked 29 miles (47
km) an hour.
Questions
1. Who was the first man in the world to drive a
steam railway passenger train ?
2. When was the first railway journey made ?
3. How many people had their ride in the first
railway train ?
4. How long did ‘Locomotion’ take to complete
the first journey ?

Long ago, on the bank of the river Godavari
there ruled a mighty king, Trivikarma. His empire
stretched far and wide and even more widespread
was his fame as a noble and courageous warrior
and a wise and enlightened sovereign. Kings and
princess and learned men thronged his court to
pay homage to him. One of them was a hermit
Kshantishila, who visited the king daily and gave
him a fruit. The wise king respectfully accepted
the offering everyday and gave it to the keeper of
his treasury for safe custody.
This routine continued for nearly ten years
and then, one day, the king playfully gave
Kshantishila’s fruit to a little monkey. As the
animal broke open the fruit, out fell a huge
glittering precious stone. Trivikarama summoned
his jeweller to examine the stone and was told that
not only was the stone real but was priceless.

Have you heard of a place called Kanya
Kumari ? It is a cape at the southernmost end of
India. We sometimes say that the Himalayas are
the crown of Mother India; so we can regard
Kanya Kumari as her holy feet.
At Kanya Kumari there is a famous old
temple. It stands on the southernmost point of land
very near the sea. Pilgrims bathe in the sea and go
up into the temple for worship. In the temple there
stands a praying figure of a girl goddess; she
stands facing the Bay of Bengal to the East. The
goddess is called Kanya Kumari. The place is
called Kanya Kumari after her. In foreign coun-
tries it is generally known by the name Cape
Comorin, but its Indian name, Kanya Kumari is
now becoming popular.

One morning a sage was bathing in the river
Ganga. He took some water in his hands and stood
up, praying. Just then, a kite flew over the river
carrying a little she-mouse. The she-mouse slipped
out of the kite’s claws and fell right into the sage’s
hands.
The sage opened his eyes and saw a little
mouse lying in his hands. He took pity on the poor
little mouse. By the power of his yoga he turned it
into a little girl. She became the sage’s daughter
and grew up in his hut on the bank of the Ganga.
She grew up into a beautiful girl and he was very
proud of her.

Today man can travel from one part of the
world to another within hours. News travel much
faster than that; one can turn the radio on and
listen to the news of a cricket match going on in
England or Australia. This big change is the result
of science; for science has given us the radio and
the jet plane. Science has changed the world, and
it has come to play a very important part in our
daily life. For example, the books that you read
are the gifts of science—these come to you from a
printing press, and printing press is the invention
of science. The clock that tells you the time, the
fountain-pen you write with and many other
things in daily use are also gifts of science. In the
16th and 17th centuries, science grew very fast.
People learned much about the earth and the
planets and discovered many secret laws of nature.
We know today that an apple falls to the ground
because the earth pulls it downward. Have you
heard of the man who found out this law ? His
name was Isacc Newton; he lived in the 17th
century. We regard him as the father of modern
science.

Questions
1. Today man can travel very fast. What brought
about this change ?
2. Name the three things in daily use, that science
has given us.
3. Who is the father of modern science ?
4. Why does an apple fall to the ground instead
of flying upward ?

The tiger is one of those animals that every
one wants to see, but few want to meet face to
face. Tigers are divided into two classes : the
deerslayer and cattle-lifter; and the man eater. Bad
teeth and old age often turn the tiger’s attention to
man. It is worth mentioning that, for the tiger, this
change is a great come down. Tigers are tremen-
dous walkers. Man-eaters cover great distances in
a night, as many as forty to fifty miles. The
ordinary tiger is also a great walker, packing the
jungle head-down, feet treading velvet foot steps,
twenty miles a night, without thinking anything of
such exercise. In stalking and bringing down his
prey, a tiger does not spring. There is no sudden
leap into the air, no tremendous shooting forward.
Without fuss of any kind, the tiger arrives within
close range, takes one or two quick balancing
steps and then rushes forward.
Questions
1. Into how many classes are the tigers divided ?
Name the classes.
2. What makes the tiger turn his attention to
man ?
3. What distance can a man-eater walk in a
night ?
4. How does the tiger bring down his prey ?

Newspaper writing paper, printing paper, type
writing paper, blotting paper, carbon paper, wall
paper, stamp paper—who can deny that paper is
one of the most useful articles in man’s daily life ?
Yet man did not invent paper. The real inventors
are the wasps who file away tiny wood shavings
from fence-posts and tree trunks and chew them to
fine pulp from which they make the grey paper
walls of their nests. Who were the first paper-
makers amongst men ? Thousands of years ago
the people of Egypt made a kind of paper from the
pith of the papyrus plant, which grew in marshes
S. Language A | 11
near the river Nile. Papyrus paper was made in
long rolls, and the books written upon it were
rolled up, not cut into pages. One ancient book
which is to be seen in the British Museum in
London, is hundred and twenty feet long.
Questions
1. Name three different types of papers which
are used in daily life.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, “The Iron Man of
India” was one of our greatest leaders. He was
‘firm like a rock and calm like a sea. Sarojini
Naidu once likened him to an iron casket
containing a rough diamond’. He was no dreamer
like Pandit Nehru; he was a stern realist and a man
of action. Next to Gandhiji, he was one of the
greatest architects of India’s freedom and political
unity. It was on October 31, 1875 that Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel was born in a poor family at
Karamsad near Nadiad. His father Zaveribhai was
a fearless peasant who fought against the British
Government in the mutiny of 1857, India’s First
War of Independence.

Long ago a man accidently struck two stones
together and made fire. He thus made a useful
discovery, but we do not know the name of this
man. This man was a homeless wanderer, hunting
for his food and going about from place to place
looking for pastures for sheep and goat. Some one
discovered agriculture. This brought about a great
change in man’s way of life. He built his house,
lived in villages and cities, he became a farmer
growing his food in the fields and no longer he
had any need to wander about looking for food.

After making a few orbits around the earth,
the spacecraft went off into space. After travelling
for two days, they landed on a plain on the moon.
They had their afternoon tea and played many
games. Running and jumping were very easy even
with their heavy space suits on, reason being that
the moon’s gravitational force is much less than
that of the earth. At school Ram held the record
for high jump, that is 1·5 metres. But on the moon,
he jumped 6 metres. There was no air on the
moon, so they had to use the supply of oxygen
they had brought from earth. The leader of the
team cautioned the boys not to waste oxygen as
they had to use it for the rest of the journey as
well.
Questions
1. Where did the spacecraft land after making a
few orbits around the earth ?
2. Even with heavy space suits on how could the

Ashok was a famous king who ruled in
Northern India. He was a very brave fighter and
an able administrator. During his rule, people were
happy and prosperous. Gradually he expanded his
empire to the South and the Eastern Coast. There
was another small State on the coast of Bay of
Bengal named Kalinga. The ancient State of
Kalinga was formed by parts of South Eastern
West Bengal and the coastal region of the State of
modern Orissa, stretching South right up to Puri
and beyond.
Ashok invaded Kalinga. The king of Kalinga
was an equally known ruler in history. Ashok with
his large army finally defeated the king of
Kalinga. But the bloodshed was so touching that
Ashok felt sorry and promised not to fight again to
expand his kingdom. He turned a new leaf in his
life and devoted the rest of his life to preaching
the principles of Budhism i.e., peace, kindness and
non-violence. He not only preached through his
messengers in India, but also in countries beyond
the seas.

Long, long ago, there was a king who was
very kind and rich. He lived in a palace by the side
of the road, away from the village. The king
thought that God had made him rich so that he
could help others. He was very nice to passersby.
He used to tell them to take rest in his palace and
gave them food to eat and water to drink.
But the king was sad because villagers who
used to go by the road were lazy. They were not
willing to work. They wanted to get everything
easily, but did not like to give anything in return.
Once the king placed a big stone in the middle of
the road to test the passers by.

In September and October many species of
marshbirds are found on the jheels ponds and
tanks around Delhi and Yamuna river side. It is a
wonderful experience to watch a number of water
birds on marsh meadows and along the sand
exposed following the receding floods of the
Yamuna. It is wilderness of secret ways of nature

as life of birds and insects can be watched moving
and feeding unseen, hidden among tall grass. A
casual onlooker could only see black winged stilt.
It is a beautiful bird, specially distinguished from
other birds frequenting the swamps by its glossy,
greenish black upper plumage and its white head,
neck and lower parts. A close view with binoculars
reveals that it is even prettier than it appears at
first sight, for its red eyes, lake-red legs and feet
and black bill and claws enhance its gracefulness.

A new subject was introduced in school last
year. The students of a normal school started
exchanging knowledge and experience with the
students of a nearby blind school. The blind
school students visited the normal school once a
weak to teach the normal school handicraft work
like chair recaning, basket making, book binding
etc. In exchange, the normal school students
visited the blind school and read for them various
books and periodicals with relevance to their
subjects and from which they derived benefit. The
greatest lesson is that students can discharge their
social obligation towards the weaker and physi-
cally handicapped population of the society. This
gives self-satisfaction and teaches the students a
sense of human compassion towards those who
suffer for no fault of their own.

A group of boys went to see the land of snow
and lamas-beyond the Rohtang pass. This pass lies
between Kulu valley and Lahaul, at a height of
13,050 feet above sea level and the ascent from
either side is gradual. But high velocity winds and
snow storms sweep over the pass all too suddenly.
So it is often very difficult to cross the pass. The
boys passed and went on to a height of 19,000
feet. They came across many monasteries with
wall paintings common to all of them at Spiti and
Ladakh. But as compared to these the monasteries
in Lahaul are extremely modest. The path lay in
the shadows of mountains naked and without any
vegetation. At times they passed through clusters
of willows and poplars, and through fields where
‘Churus’ a cross breed of Yak and Cow tilled the
land for season’s sowing of wheat, barley, peas
and potatoes. In the field worked men, women and
children. The postman carried mail on foot or on a
cycle.

A new method of correcting children has been
introduced in a school. If students commit mis-
takes then they have to write their mistakes in their
own handwriting several times in a copy book
called a log book. There is a ‘Remark Page’ for
every child from class V to class X. Every second
Saturday when the parents come to school to meet
14 | S. Language A
the teachers they are shown the log book and have
to sign the ‘Remark page’ of their child. This way
they know about the behaviour of their children;
in turn, the children are more careful about each
and everything. This has very good result as
mistakes committed by students have been greatly
reduced. This log book system ought to be set up
in all schools.
Questions
1. By this new method of correcting what has a
child to do when he commits a mistake ?
2. Which classes of the school had to maintain
the log book ?
3. How often did parents visit the school to meet
the teachers and what was the purpose of the
visit ?

S. Language A | 37
Answer
(1) A crow was very thirsty. At some distance
he saw a pot of water. He flow away. The water
in the pot was too low. He could not reach the
water. He brought pebbles one by one and
dropped them into the pot. The water rose high.
He drank water and flew away.
(2) Once there was a lion. He was the king of
animals. One day he called all the animals and
birds to him. The lion sat on a stone. The animals
sat near him. Now the lion wanted to select his
minister. All the animals showed their powers
and qualities. But the lion selected the fox as his
minister, because she was clever. A minister
should be clever.
(3) Once a hare and a tortoise were walking
along the road to their village. The hare walked
faster than the tortoise. The tortoise w a s very
slow. The hare was very proud. He asked the
tortoise to run a race with him. The tortoise
agreed.
(4) A miser had some property. He sold it and
bought a piece of gold. He put it in a pit. He used
to see it daily. One of his friends saw it. He
thought that there must be some gold. One day he
went there and took it out. When the miser did
not find his gold he began to weep.
(5) Once there was an old man who had four
sons. They always fought among themselves. So
the old man remained sad to see the behaviour of
his sons. One day he brought a bundle of sticks
and asked his sons one by one to break this
bundle. Each of them tried his best but none could
break the bundle. Then the oldman asked them to
untie the bundle. Then each of them could break
the sticks easily. Thus, they could learn that union
has great strength.
(6) A man had a horse and an ass. He gave a
lot of food to the horse but he didn’t give enough
food to the ass. The ass always carried heavy load
on his back but the horse never carried a load. So
the ass felt very unhappy. One day when they
were going to the market with their master, the ass
asked the horse “to carry half his load.” The horse
refused and said, “An ass always carries the load.
I only carry a man.” A few minutes later the ass
fell down on the road. The master put the whole
load on the back of the horse and set off for the
market.

(7) Two friends were walking through the
forest when a bear attacked them. One turned and
fled. He climbed a tree and sat there, while the
other remained on the road. There was nothing for
him to do but fall to the ground and play dead.
The bear came up to him and sniffed. The man
even stopped breathing. The bear sniffed his face
and decided he was dead and lumbered off. When
the bear was gone the other man climbed down
and said with a smile, “What did the bear whisper
in your ear.” “It said that someone who deserts his
friend in time of danger is not a good person at
all”, said the former.
(8) Once there was a quarrel between the sun
and the wind. The sun said, “I am the king of the
sky. I am mightier than you.” The wind laughed
and said, “I am stronger than you.” A man passed
by. Both decided to try their strength on that man.
The sun said, “who ever makes him take off the
coat will be the winner.” The wind tried first. It
blew harder and harder but the man did not take
off the coat. Then the sun got brighter and warmer.
The man was walking. He took off his coat. The
sun was stronger. He proved mightier than the
wind.
(9) A lion was weak and old. He could not
kill animals in the forest. He came out of his cave.
He saw a jackal. He said to the jackal, “Please
come here. Let us talk together.” The jackal said,
“sir, you will kill me”. The lion said, “No, I will
not kill you, will you come in my cave ? The
jackal said, “I shall come to you tomorrow.”
Saying this, he went away.
(10) Once a fox fell into a well and could not
come out. When a goat reached there and asked
the fox the reason of being there, the fox said,
“The water is very sweet.” The goat was thirsty.
She jumped into the well and did not care to come
out. The fox jumped on the goat’s back and came
out. The goat could not come out. At last she died
in the well.

Short Essays
The candidates are asked to write 15 lines i.e.
one page on any one of the given topics. For prac-
tice some topics are given below—
(1) A Visit to a Garden
I went to see the Mughal Gardens last Sunday
with my parents and other family members. The
Mughal Gardens are situated in the Rashtrapati
Bhavan and is open for public in the month of
February. The garden is raised above the ground
level and is first of its kind in Asia. The Mughal
Emperors were very fond of parks and as such a
number of parks were laid during their rule in
India. Mughal Garden is laid on the same pattern.
We entered the gate from North Avenue side. We
saw a specially made pond in which multicoloured
fish were sprawling. It was really a good site to
see. We saw a row of flowers of different quali-
ties, colour and fragrance. There were a number of
beds of flowers on all sides. The scene was really
a beauty and I wished to see these beautiful
flowers for a long time. There were a number of
beautiful fountains. We had to leave the garden at
the appointed time but I am unable to forget the
sweet memories of the Garden.
(2) Students and Social Service
Students can utilise their time in studies. That
is their prime duty. But they can do social service
as well when they are free from their studies. They
can spread literacy among illiterate persons and
can teach t h e m reading, writing a n d simple
Arithmetic. During summer vacations students can
g o to villages and start cleanliness drive there.
They can go to hospital and help the patients there
and look after the needy ones who are all alone
and n o one to serve them. They can provide
books and magazines to these patients. During
natural calamities students can be of great help to
all those who need their help. They can organise
relief camps and can collect donations to provide
money to the poor sufferers. Students can also
help the local police in controlling traffic on the
roads. Thus, there are many ways to do social
service by the students. They can do it in their
leisure or whenever they are free from their
studies.

(3) Why I like My City
Agra is my city known for its beautiful monu-
ment ‘The Taj Mahal’. As such Agra is famous as
a ‘City of Taj’. I live in Ashok Nagar. I like Agra
for various reasons. Agra is a historical city and
was the capital of Mughal Emperors but the later
Mughal Emperors shifted to Delhi. There are many
beautiful buildings at Agra. Some of them are—
Sikandara, the tomb of Emperor Akbar, Itmad-ud-
Daulah, Red Fort etc. At Dayalbagh there is a
‘Samadhi’ known as ‘Swami Bagh’. To see all
these monuments and historical places thousands
of tourists come to Agra every-day. Agra is also a
centre of education. There are a number of schools
and colleges besides a university and a Deemed
University at Dayalbagh. Almost every type of
education can be had at Agra. Agra is connected
with all the important cities of India through rail-
ways and bus service. Now a civilian airport is
also there at Agra. As such Agra has all the facili-
ties which are needed by an average citizen. I like
Agra for all these facilities.
(4) A Good Citizen
Good citizens are needed to make a country
great. Any country can be proud of its good
citizens. A good citizen has many qualities of
head and heart. A citizen has certain rights and
privileges to enjoy but these rights are to fulfil
their duties. Rights are necessary for the develop-
ment of one’s personality but with developed per-
sonality one has to serve the society. He has many
obligations and responsibilities towards his coun-
try. A good citizen is one who fulfils all his duties
well, and obeys the laws of the state. He respects
the historical and cultural values of the country.
He was regard to all those great persons who con-
tributed their best for the upliftment of the society.
A good citizen is honest in his dealings with other
citizens and has good manners. He maintains har-
monious relations with all especially his neigh-
bours. He always extends his help to all those who
are needy. He is always vigilant against anti-social
elements of society and helps the police. A good
citizen always respects all the religious faiths and
toleration in his watchword. Such a person can be
a good citizen.

(5) India of My Dreams
India is a great country with a great past.
India’s cultural heritage is really rich. India made
progress in Arts, Science, Agriculture and had
trade relations with other countries. Owing to
some weaknesses India was subjugated by foreign
powers and she remained a slave country for
hundreds of years. However, India achieved inde-
pendence nearly 58 years ago. India had so start
afresh but has made progress in almost all spheres
of life—economic, social, political. Her progress
in scientific and technical field is certainly re-
markable. India has also acquired nuclear poten-
tial too and has become more or less self-suffi-
cient in various fields. But much more has to be
achieved to make India economically strong and
self-reliant. I wish that India should be a great
power dedicated to world peace. Nuclear power
should be to serve humanity and now India can
preach it and practice it. India can be really proud
of her contribution to World peace. She should
help all those nations which need her help. She
must have friendly relations with all the countries
of the world. Such India is a country of my
dreams.
(6) Sports Day of My School
Games and Sports are considered to be essen-
tial for all the students in my school. On every
26th January sports are organised and many
students take part in it. For this purpose the stu-
dents are divided into three categories according
to their classes and physical capacity. The three
categories are senior, middle and junior. On the
sports day which coincides with India’s Republic-
day, the school is decorated beautifully. The
playground is prepared for various sports events,
such as races, jumps and throws. Any student can
participate in any events according to his liking
and capacity. I am very much interested in races
especially 50 metres and 100 metres race. This
year, I participated in these races and secured Ist
and IInd positions respectively. A number of
students participated in sports. At the end, prizes
were distributed to the winner and those who
could not secure any prize were consoled and the
headmaster appreciated their efforts. All were
happy at the end of the day as sweets were dis-
tributed to all the students and spectators.
(7) Our School Canteen
Our school has a canteen for students and
teachers. The canteen is situated at the far end of
the carridor on the ground floor of the building.
The canteen has two halls. One hall is for teachers
and the other one is for students. This distinction
has been made to maintain decency and decorum.
Students are asked to maintain discipline and
make no noise. Canteen has a number of servants
to serve the customers. Every one is required to
obtain coupons for various items available in the
canteen. After making payment one can get the
coupon and hand it over to the canteen servants to
supply the desired items. There is cleanliness all
around and all the items are good and fresh. Even
fruits are also available there. As such the students
need not go out of the school boundary. They can
get all that they want. The only problem is that
during interval many students come and i t
becomes overcrowded. Efforts are being made to
increase the space to accommodate more students.
We are all proud of it.
(8) Days of School Examination
Even today when I remember the days of my
examination I am thrilled with pleasure. I used to
get at 5‘O’ clock in the morning. My father com-
pelled me to sit on the books till late in the night.
My mother was too kind to me. She loved me very
much and showered her best attention and affec-
tion on me. No disturbance or noise was allowed
near my study room. I recollect that my father had
rebuked by younger sister and brothers for making
any noise.
(9) Evening
The evening has come. The sun which was
burning the earth with its rays throughout the day
has started cooling down. A gentle and cool breeze
has started blowing. People working in different
farms, factories and schools are coming back to
their homes. Small children are eagerly waiting
for their parents to come as they will bring toys
and sweets for them. Old men are going for a
evening walk in the parks. Some of the old men
are sitting outside their houses, talking and smok-
ing. Cowboys are bringing back their cows from
the pastures. The musical sound of the ringing of
bells, hanging from the necks of the cows, is fill-
ing the whole atmosphere with joy. Their calves
are jumping and calling their mothers to come

soon. Birds are flying back to their nests to meet
their young ones. The young ones are also waiting
eagerly to meet their parents as they will bring
food for them. Rays of the setting sun are fall-
ing on the tops of the tall trees. House wives are
preparing the food. Smoke is coming out of the
house chimneys. The atmosphere is becoming
calm and peaceful. Students have already come
back from the playfield and are preparing for
evening study. The evening has come. The night is
approaching.
(10) The book I like most
I love reading books. I have read many books.
But I like Ramcharitmanas the most. Tulsi Das,
the great saint poet, wrote this book in 16th cen-
tury. This sacred book was written by Tulsi Das
in Hindi. This great epic has been translated into
many foreign languages. It is the Hindi version of
the Ramayan, which was written in Sanskrit by
Valmki.
It is the story of Ram and Sita. Dashrath, the
king o f Ayodhya h a d four sons. Ram, Bharat,
Laxman and Satrughan. Ram was the eldest among
them. He was very brave and virtuous. He was
very handsome also. He was loved and liked by
all. His wife Sita was a beautiful and virtuous
daughter of king Janak of Mithila. Ram went to
the forest for fourteen years by the order of his
father. His brother Laxman, and wife Sita, also
went with him. In the forest, Ravana, the king of
Lanka, stole away Sita. Ram with t h e help of
S. Language A | 41
monkey chiefs namely, Sugreev, Hanuman, Angad
etc. invaded Lanka. In a fierce battle, Ram killed
Ravana and got Sita back. But Ram did not capture
Lanka. He made Ravana’s brother Vibhishan, the
king of Lanka, Ram returned to Ayodhya after
fourteen years and was crowned as king.
Ramcharitmanas teaches us love, dutifulness,
sacrifice and obedience. For these reasons I like it
most.
(11) My childhood
I am born in a farmer’s family. I have two
elder brothers and one younger sister. I am at pre-
1
sent 10 years old and my sister is 3 years younger.
2
When I was too young. I was very naughty. I am
fond of eating sugarcane.
I usually cried at the time of going to school.
Sometimes I pretended as if I were having pain in
stomach. One day I laid on my bed pretending
having pain in stomach. My neighbour as well as
my friend Rakesh also made the same excuse. We
made this programme for going to play cricket. At
last I was caught by my mother and got a hard
beating. Since then I never told a lie. I am fond of
eating sweets from the very beginning. Since there
is abundance of milk in my house, I generally get
the sweets of milk. But now I have grown up and
do not eat much sweets. I remember many happen-
ings of my childhood. I become glad by remember-
ing those happenings.

least one or more than one particular identification
same , they form a group . But one of them does
not have the same identification as others .

(C) Eye (D) Heart
(E) Kidney
Explanation Here in the above question the
-
group of words shows that all except Heart are
found in the human body in a pair, while heart is
present in the human body as a single. Therefore ,
all other except heart form a group according to
their pair quality. So the word heart is odd-one
out. In this case you will have to choose your
answer ' Heart' i.e., 'D' .
2. Hence , correct answer is ' D ' .
I n the following questions five words have
been given out of which four are alike in

(E) Sutlej
Explanation-In the above given group all
are rivers except Kailash. Brahmputra, Kaveri ,
Type-I
Ganga and Sutlej are the name of rivers while
Kailash is the name of a mountain . Therefore ,
Kailash does not belong the group as other.
Hence, Kailash is odd-one out i.e., correct answer.
So ' D ' is the correct answer.
3. Choose the odd-one out from the given group
of words -
(A) Lucknow (B) Gangtok
(C) Singhbhumi (D) Hyderabad
(E) Chennai

words which does not belong the group by
some means-
(A) Litre (B) Meter
(C) Kilogram (D) Inch
(E) Weight

the units to measure a physical quantity . There­
fore , weight does not belong that group . Hence,
weight is odd-one out. So the correct answer is
(E) .

group . One does not belong the group. Choose
the word which does not fit in group-
(A) Crow (B) Duck
(C) Snake (D) Whale

NON-VERBAL SERIES

This Chapter deals with questions in which series of figures is given. The figures in this series are
kept with a certain rule, each further figure follows the rule or series follows a certain rule throughout.
On the left hand side a pattern of figures is given with a question mark (?) and on the right hand side
four answered figure (A) , (B) , (C) and (D) are given. Candidates are required to learn this pattern and
either complete the series with the most suitable alternative selected by you from the given four
answered figures . Some important examples are solved for you , so that you may learn the patterns and
its rules .

For Example
I . In the following question figure I has some relationship with figure II, figure III has the same
relationship with figure IV. Choose the figure from alternatives (A), (B), (C) and (D) which has the
same relationship with figure III.

I II III IV (A) (B) (C) (D)

Explanation- From problem figure I to II whole design reverses horizontaly and the part which
contains lines becomes black. If the same rule is applied to the problem figure III, the whole design will
reverse horizontaly as ,

Then the part which contains lines will be black. as ,

Hence, the answer figure (C) is obtained. Therefore , the correct answer is (C).
2. In the following problem three figures and a question-mark (?) is given on the left hand side and
four alternatives are given to the right hand side. The three figure on left hand follow a pattern
( rule) . On the basis of this pattern choose the correct alternative which will come at the place of
question-mark (?)

(1) (2) (3) (4) (A) (B) (C) (D)

Explanation In each successive problem figure a line surplus in the rectangle alternatively to
-

opposite corners and the small circles on the vertices of the rectangle move to further corner with the
same rule the answer figure (A) is obtained .
36S I Intelligence

3 . In the following problem figures one is different to other there i.e., other three belong to a same
group . Find out that one who does not belong to the same group .

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Explanation- C learly, the figure (B) does not belong the group, because the black dot is opposite
to the small two parallel lines on the line of triangle. But it is not in the other figure. Therefore, the
correct answer is (B).

Exercise
Directions- In each of the questions from 1 to 1 5 there is some relation between two figures to the
left of : : and the same relationship exists between the two figures to its right. In each question one
figure is missing. This figure is one of answer figures . Find out this figure .
