Analogy

Classification

Alphabet Classification

In this type of classification, a group of jumbled letters, typically consisting a single or two

or three or four letters are put together. The pattern or order in which they are grouped is

to be identified and students need to find out which groups have the same pattern or

Meaning of Analogy

Analogy means Similar items. There is three types of Analogy

(a) Number Analogy

(b) Letter Analogy

(c) Word Analogy

Number Analogy

Example 1: 3 : 81 : : 6 : ?

(a) 1296 (b) 1269

(c) 1692 (d) 1926

Solution. (a) n : n4 relation here (3) and (3)4 = (81)

Letter Series - Type 1

One Letter Series Such series consists of one letter in each term and this series is based on

increasing or decreasing positions of corresponding letters according to English alphabet.

Example 1: B, C, A, D, Z, E, F, X, G

(a) U (b) Y

(c) W (d) V

Solution. (b) The sequence consists of two series B, A, Z, Y, X and C, D, E, F, G. The

missing letter is Y.


Two Letter Series The first letters of the series follow one logic and the second letters follow

another logic.

Example 2: EZ, DX, CV,..., AR, ZP

(a) CS (b) AM

(c) BT (d) TG

Solution. (c) First and second letters follow a sequence of-1 and -2 respectively.


Three Letter Series: :Such series consist of three letters in each term. The first letters follow

one logic, the second letters follow another logic and the third letters follow some other

logic.

Example 3: DIE, XCY, RWS, ...

(a) LQN (b) QMP

FCI CAPSULE 2015

(c) LMS (d) LQM

Solution. (d) First, second and third letters of each group follow a sequence of -6 series.


A series of letters is given with one or more missing letters. From the choices, the choice

that gives the letters that go into the blanks has to be selected as answer.

Example 4: In the following series some letters are missing. From the choices, select the

choice that gives that letters that can fill the blanks in the given sequence.

a_ c_ b_ab_a_ca_c

(a) abaccb (b) accbab

(c) aabbcc (d) baccbb

Solution. (d) First of all, notice that there are 6 blanks in the given sequence and each

choice gives six letters to fill the six blank in order. Now, we have to select an alternative

which if placed in the blanks of the series in order, we get a complete series of letters which

follow some particular pattern.

The best way is to try with each option. Inserting the letters of option (d) in place of the

blanks, we get a series like abc abc abc abc abc which is a repetition of the group of

letters abc.


Here, students are asked to count how many times a particular letter or group of letters

satisfying some conditions occurs and mark that number as the answer choice.

Example 11: In the following sequence of letters, in how many instances the letters n is

immediately preceded by the letter t ?

snruatnnghjtknstndgclntttnnntntntsmvbtngcxdptnklstnt

(a) 5 (b) 6

(c) 7 (d) 8

Solution. (d) On counting, we find that the letter n occurs 8 times, where n is immediately

preceded by the letter t.

Number, Ranking and Time Sequence Test Type 1 Number Test

In these types of questions, a number, a set of numbers, series of digit is given and the

candidate is asked to trace out digit following certain given conditions.

Example 1 How many 5s are there in the following number sequence which are immediately

preceded by 7 and immediately followed by 6?

Terms : 7 5 5 9 4 5 7 6 4 5 9 8 7 5 6 7 6 4 3 2 5 6 7 8

FCI CAPSULE 2015

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

Solution. (a) Here,7 5 5 9 4 5 7 6 4 5 9 8 7 5 6 7 6 4 3 2 5 6 7 8

Preceded by 7 and followed by 6 So, there is only one such 5.

Type 2 Ranking Test

In these types of questions, generally the ranks of a person both from the top and from the

bottom are mentioned and the total number of persons is asked.

Example 2 : A class of boys stands in a single line. One boy is nineteenth in order from both

the ends. How many boys are there in the class?

(a) 27

(b) 37

(c) 38

(d) 39

Solution. (b) Clearly, number of boys in the row = (18 + 18 + 1) = 37

The question can be solved by formula also, total number of boys in the row = 19 + 19 - 1

= 37

Formula Total number of persons in a row or class = (Rank of a person from upper end or

left end) + (Rank of that person from lower or right end) - 1

Inserting the Missing Character

In this chapter questions contain a figure, a set of figures, an arrangement or a matrix,

each of which bears certain characters, be it numbers, letters or a group/combination of

letters/numbers which follow a particular pattern. You are required to identify and decipher

this pattern and accordingly find the missing character in the figure.

Example 1:

(a) 7

(b) 25

(c) 49

(d) 129

Solution. (b) The pattern is

(16 6)2 + (5 2)2 = 102 + 32 = 109

(22 15)2 + (21 19)2 = 72 + 22 = 53

So, the missing number = (17 13)2 + (51 48)2 = 42 + 32 = 25

Example 2:

FCI Capsule 2015. 8

FCI CAPSULE 2015

(a) 45

(b) 50

(c) 60

(d) 63

Solution. (d) Moving clockwise direction, the numbers are 13 1 = 0, 23 1 = 7, 33 1 =

26 and 43 1 = 63

Example 3:

(a) 9

(b) 18

(c) 24

(d) 27

Solution. (a) Starting from 3 and moving clockwise, the number in each quadrant is the

square of that in the previous quadrant. So, the missing number = 32 = 9

Arithmetical Reasoning

Interchanging of Signs and Numbers

Example 2: If signs + and and numbers 4 and 8 interchanges with each other, which one

of the following four equations would be correct?

(a) 4 8 + 12 = 0 (b) 8 4 12 = 8

(c) 4 8 12 = 16 (d) 8 4 12 = 24

Solution. (a) On interchanging signs + and and numbers 4 and 8 in equation (a)

8 + 4 12 = 0

12 12 = 0

0 = 0

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Indian History

The Indian History is perhaps the

oldest in

the world, and the sources of Indian

History are

the verbal history, because our

ancients never did bother about

putting things down on paper and

archaeological evidences. Based on

the evidences available today, Indian

History, like the history of every

ancient culture in the world, is broadly

divided into four periods as mentioned

below:

Pre-History

From the big bang, the primeval

swamp to the Indus Valley civilization.

FCI Capsule 2015. 10

FCI CAPSULE 2015

Though Indus Valley civilization is

included in pre-historical period.

However, technical evidences shows

that Indus Valley civilization did have

a script, although it has not been

decoded yet. So, it is generally

included in Ancient History nowadays.

Ancient History

It begins from the Indus Valley

civilization (for which the date is a

matter of hot debate, but historians

have agreed to disagree on 3000 BC)

to just after the king Harsha

Vardhana, which is around 700-800

BC.

Medieval History

It begins from 800 BC to mid-18th

century AD.

Modern History

Frommid-18th century to the

independence

of India, which is on August 15, 1947.

The history of Modern India is farther

sub-divided into two major periods:

1. The British Period.

2. The India Freedom Struggle and

Partition of

India.

ANCIENT INDIA

The discovery ofMohenjodaro and

Harappa

by British archeologist: Marshall

proved that

Indian civilization is the oldest

civilization in the

world. Even India came before

Greece, considered the oldest

civilization before the discovery of

Mohenjodaro and Harappa. The main

features of Ancient Indian History are

as follows:

Indus Valley Civilization

Discovery: In 1921, R.B. Dayaram

Sahani,

first discovered Harappa, in the

Montgomery district of the Punjab.

According to radio-carbon

dating, it spread from the year 2350-

1750.

Indus Valley Civilization Dr. R. D.

Banerjee found the ancient city

Mohenjodaro (literally,cityofthe

dead)inLarkana

district of Sindh, now in Pakistan in

1922.

The Marvelous Town Planning of

Mohenjodaro: A chief feature of

Mohenjodaro

is its superb town planning. The

streets, which

divided the city into neat rectangular

or square

blocks, varied in width but

alwaysintersected each other at right

angles. The city had an elaborate

drainage system, consisting of

horizontal and vertical drains,street


FCI CAPSULE 2015

drains and so on. The architecture of

the buildings was clearly intended to

be functional and minimalist, and

certainly not to please the aesthete.

Mohenjodaro was obviously

a cosmopolitan city, with people of

different races mingling with the local

populace-ProtoAustroloid,

Mediterranean, Alpine and Mongoloid.

The Indus Valley Civilization

Before the coming of Aryans, there

was a

civilization that was not only well-

developed, but actually far more

sophisticated than that of the Aryans.

The Indus Valley civilization said its

last hurray roughly in 2200 BC. The

beginning and end of the Indus Valley

Civilization are both a matter of

debate because people could not have

emerged complete with their perfect

town planning, neat houses, lovely

jewellery and loads of make-up. So

where did they come from? and then

having come, just where did they

disappear?

Popular theory, which is most

accepted is that

the people of the Harappan civilization

were

chased out by the Aryans and went

down south.

The present South Indians are their

descendants

Indian Polity

Different Sources of the Indian Constitution

Although the skeleton of the constitution was derived from Government of India Act 1935,

many provisions were imported from other constitution,, of the world. Some of them are

listed below:

Government of India Act 1935: Federal scheme, office of Governor, power of Federal

judiciary, emergency powers etc.

Constitution of Britain: Law making procedures, rule of law, provision for single citizenship,

Parliamentary system of government, office of CAG.

Constitution of USA: Independence of judiciary. judicial review, fundamental rights,

removal of Supreme Court and High Court judges, preamble and functions of Vice-

president.

Constitution of Canada: Federation with strong Centre, to provide residuary powers to the

centre.

Constitution of Ireland: Directive Principles of State policy, method of presidential

elections, and the nomination of members to Rajya Sabha by the President,


FCI CAPSULE 2015

Constitution of Germany: Provisions concerning the suspension of fundamental rights

during emergency.

Constitution of Australia: Idea of the Concurrent list.

Constitution of South Africa: Amendment with 2/3rd majority in Parliament and election of

the Members of Rajya Sabha on the basis of proportional representation.

The Preamble

The 42nd Amendment (1976) added the words Secular and Socialist end now the

Preamble reads as follows:

Indian Economy

History of Planning in India


FCI CAPSULE 2015

First attempt to initiate economic planning in India was made by Sir M.Visvesvarayya, a

noted engineer and politician in 1934 through his book Planned Economy For India.

In 1938 National Planning Commission was set-up under the chairmanship of J.L. Nehru

by the Indian National Congress. Its recommendations could not be implemented because

of the beginning of the Second World War and changes in the Indian political situation.

In 1944 Bombay Plan was presented by 8 leading industrialists of Bombay.

In 1944 Gandhian Plan was given by S. N. Agarwal.

In 1945 Peoples Plan was given by M. N. Roy.

In 1950 Sarvodaya Plan was given by J. P. Narayan. A few points of this plan were

accepted by the Government.

The Planning Commission

The Planning Commission was set up on March 15, 1950 under the chairmanship J.L.

Nehru, by a resolution of Union Cabinet.

It is an extra-constitutional, non-statutory body.

It consists of Prime Minister as the ex-officio Chairman, one deputy-Chairn appointed by

the PM and some full time members.

The tenure of its members and deputy chairman is not fixed. There is no defi definition of

its members also. They are appointed by the Government on its c discretion. The number

of members can also change according to the wishes of Government.

Functions

Assessment of material, capital & human resources of the country.

Formulation of plans for the most effective & balanced utilization of countrys resources.

To determine the various stages of planning and to propose the allocation of resources on

the priority basis.

To act as an advisory body to the Union Government.

To evaluate from time to time the progress achieved in every stage of the plan and also to

suggest remedial measures.

To advise the Centre and the State Governments from time to time on special matters

referred to the Commission.

National Development Council


FCI CAPSULE 2015

All the plans made by the Planning Commission have to be approved by National

Development Council first. It was constituted to build co-operation between the States and

the Planning Commission for economic planning.

It is an extra-constitutional and extra-legal body.

It was set up on August 6, 1952, by a proposal of the Government. The PM is the ex-

officio chairman of NDC. Other members are Union Cabinet ministers, Chief Ministers &

Finance Ministers of all States, Lt. Governors of Union Territories and Governors of

Centrally Ruled States.

State Planning Boards

Apex planning body at State level is generally a State Planning Body comprising the Chief

Minister as Chairman, Finance and Planning ministers of that State and some technical

experts.

District Planning Committee is also there comprising both official and non-official

members.

Numerical Aptitude

Fractions

A fraction is a part of the whole (object, thing, region). It forms the part of basic aptitude of

a person to have and idea of the parts of a population, group or territory. Candidate must

have a feel of fractional thinking. eg, , here 12 is the number of equal part into which the

whole has been divided, is called denominator and 5 is the number of equal parts which

have been taken out, is called numerator.

Indices and Surds

Indices

In the expression xn, n is called the exponent or index and x is called the base and xn is

read as x to the power of n or x raised to the power n.

eg,

1. 36 = 3 3 3 3 3 3 = 729

43 = 4 4 4 = 64

The expression (xm)n is read as x raised to the power m whole raised to the power n.

2. (24)3 = (16)3 = 212

The expression is read as x raised to the power m power n.


FCI CAPSULE 2015

3. = 264

Hence, (xm)n

Surds

If n is a positive integer and a is a positive rational number (a > 0), then nais called a surd

of order n or nth order surd naif is an irrational number.

Square Root & Cube Root

Square Root

The square root of a number is that number the product of which itself gives the given

number, ie, the square root of 400 is 20, the square root of 625 is 25.

The process of finding the square root is called evaluation. The square root of a number is

denoted by the symbol called the radical sign. The expression 9 is read as root time,

radical nine or the square root of nine.

Cube Root

The cube root of a number is that number the cube of which itself gives the given number

ie, the cube root of 64 is 4. The cube root of a number is denoted by the symbol 3 The

expressions 38 read as cube eight, or the cube root of eight.

Simplification

In simplification of an expression there are certain laws which should be strictly adhered to.

These laws are as follows:

VBODMAS Rule

This rule gives the correct sequence in which the mathematical operation are to be executed

so as to find out the value of a given expression.

Here, V stands for Vicnaculum (or Bar), B stands for Brcket, O stands for Of, D stands

for Division, M stands for Multiplication, A stands for Addition and S stand for

Subtraction.

(a) Here, VBODMAS gives the order of simplification. Thus, the order of performing the

mathematical operations in a given expression are

First : Virnaculum or line bracket or bar

Second: Bracket

Third: Of

Fourth: Division

Fifth: Multiplication

Sixth: Addition &


FCI CAPSULE 2015

Seventh: Subtraction

The above order should strictly be followed.

(b) There are four types of brackets.

(i) Square brackets [ ]

(ii) Curly brackets { }

(iii) Circular brackets ( )

(iv) Bar or Virnaculum

Thus, in simplifying an expression all the brackets must be removed in the order , ( ), {

} and [ ].

HCF & LCM

Highest Common Factor

The highest common factor of two or more given numbers is the largest of their common

factors. It is known as GCD also.

English Test Paper

Directions(Q. 110) Read the following passage carefully and answer the

questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help

you locate them while answering some of the questions. Once upon a time, there

was a royal elephant which used to reside in the premises of the kings palace. The

elephant was very dear to the king, so he was well-fed and well-treated. There was

also a Dog who lived near the Elephants shed. He was very weak and skinny. He

was always fascinated by the smell of rich sweet rice being fed to the royal

elephant. One day, the Dog could no longer resist the aroma of the rice and

somehow managed to sneak into the Elephants shed. He ate the grains of sweet

rice that fell from the Elephants mouth. He liked the rice so much, that he started

going there daily to eat the rice. For days, the huge Elephant didnt notice the small

dog as he was busy enjoying the delicious food. Gradually, the Dog grew bigger

and stronger eating such rich food. Finally, the Elephant noticed him and allowed

him access to the food.

The Elephant enjoyed the company of the Dog and started sharing his food

with him. They also started spending time with each other and soon became good

friends. They ate together, slept together and played together. While playing, the

Elephant would hold the Dog in his trunk and swing him back and forth. Soon

neither of them was happy without the other. They became great friends and didnt

want to be separated from each other. Then one day, a man saw the Dog and

asked the Elephant-keeper, I want to buy this Dog. What price do you want for it

? The Elephant-keeper didnt own the Dog but sold it and extracted a sum of

money from this deal. The man took the Dog to his home village, which was quite

far away. The Kings Elephant became very sad after this incident. He missed his

friend a lot and started neglecting everything. He didnt want to do anything

without his dear friend, so he stopped eating, drinking and even bathing. Finally,

the Elephant-keeper reported this to the King; however he didnt mention anything

about the Dog. The King had a wise minister, who was known for his keen

understanding of animals. The King ordered the minister, Go to the Elephant shed

and find out the reason for the Elephant's condition. The intelligent minister went

to the Elephant shed and found the Elephant very sad. He examined the Elephant

and asked the Elephant-keeper. There is nothing wrong with this Elephants body,


FCI CAPSULE 2015

then why does he look so sad ? I think this Elephant is grief stricken, possibly due

to the loss of a dear friend. Do you know if this Elephant shared a close friendship

with anyone ? The Elephant-keeper said, There was a Dog who used to eat, sleep

and play with the Elephant. He was taken by a stranger three days ago. The

minister went back to the King and said, Your majesty, in my opinion, the royal

Elephant is not sick, but he is lonesome without his dear friend, the Dog. The King

said, Youre right, friendship is one of the most wonderful things of life. Do you

know where that Dog is ?

The Minister replied, Elephantkeeper has informed me that a stranger took

him away and he doesnt know his whereabouts. The King asked, How can we

bring back my Elephants friend and make him happy again ? The Minister

suggested, Your Majesty, make a declaration, that whoever has the dog that used

to live at the royal Elephants shed will be penalized. The King did the same and

the man who had taken the dog, instantly turned him loose when he heard the

proclamation. As soon as he was freed, the Dog ran back as fast as he could to the

Elephants shed. The Elephant was so delighted to see the Dog that he picked his

friend up with his trunk and swung him back and forth. The Dog wagged his tail,

while the Elephants eyes sparkled with happiness. The King was content to see the

Elephant happy once again and rewarded the minister for his wise judgement.
