GENERAL INTELLIGENCE & REASONING Analogy 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) Similarly, (6) and (6)4 = 1296 Letter Analogy Example 2 : Find the missing term : YWZX : USVT : : MKNL : ? (a) IGGH (b) IGJH (c) IGJJ (d) IGHH Solution. (b) Alphabets are used in reverse order. In the first term, the order of alphabet is 2, 4, 1 and 3 and in the second term, the order is 6, 8, 5 and 7. So, the missing term is IGJH. Word Analogy Example 3 : Sailor : Ship : : Lawyer : ? (a) Legal (b) Law (c) Court (d) Ruling Solution. (c) ‗Sailor‘ works at ‗Ship‘, similarly ‗Lawyer‘ works at ‗Court‘. 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 relationship between the letters. There will be only one choice, which will have a different pattern from the rest and hence becomes the answer option. Example 1: Find the odd one among the following. (a) LY (b) GU (c) DQ (d) JW Solution. (b) Corresponding places in the first half and the second half of letters, except option (b). Number Classification In such questions, students need to choose the odd number from the given options. The numbers may belong to a particular pattern, i.e., they may be odd, even, prime, rational, squares, cubes and they may also be coded into binary digits (0 s and 1 s), etc. and only one of the choices will not follow the same pattern. Example 2 : Find the odd man out. (a) 35 (b) 55 (c) 45 (d) 65 Solution. (c) Except option (c) , the remaining are prime products of 5. Series Number Series Prime Number Series: Example 1. 4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 169,… (a) 324 (b) 289 (c) 225 (d) 196 Solution. (b) The given series is a consecutive square of prime number series. The next prime number is 289. Multiplication Series: Example 2. 4, 8, 16, 32, 64… 256 (a) 96 (b) 98 (c) 86 (d) 106 Solution. (a) The numbers are multiplied by 2 to get the next number. 64 × 2 = 128 Difference Series: Example 3. 3,6,9,12,15,…. 21 (a) 16 (b) 17 (c) 20 (d) 18 Solution. (d) The difference between the numbers is 3. 15 + 3 = 18 Division Series: Example 4. 5040, 720, 120, 24, ….2,1 (a) 8 (b) 7 (c) 6 (d) 5 Solution. (c) n2 Series (n2 + 1) Series (n2 -1) Series (n2 + n) Series (n2 – n) Series n3 Series (n3 + 1) Series (n3 -1) Series (n3 + n) Series (n3 – n) Series 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. Letter Series - Type 2 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. Letter Series - Type 3 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. Letter Series - Type 4 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‖. Letter Series - Type 5 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 First we should know some mathematical operations. They are add (+), subtraction (–), multiply (×) and division (÷), greater than (>), less than (<). This test is set up to test candidates skill in mathematical operations. The questions involving these operations are set using artificial symbols. You are required to substitute the real signs and solve the questions accordingly, to get the answer Different Type of Questions There are three types of questions based on mathematical operations which are asked in various competitive examinations. They are, Problem-Solving by Substitution In such type of questions you have some substitutes for various mathematical symbols or numerals followed by a question involving calculation of an expression or choosing the correct/incorrect equation. Rule BODMAS FCI Capsule 2015. 9 FCI CAPSULE 2015 Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction While solving a mathematical operations proceed according to the BODMAS‘ formula. Example 1: If ‗+‘ means ‗minus‘ ‗ב means ‗divided by‘ ‗’‘ means ‗plus‘ and ‗–‘means ‗multiplied by‘ then which of the following will be the value of expression 7 × 3.5 ÷ 2 – 4 + 5? (a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 11 (d) None of these Solution. (b) Using the proper notations in the given expression, we have = 7 × 3.5 ÷ 2 – 4 + 5 = 7 + 3.5 + 2 ÷ 4 – 5 = 2 + 2 × 4 – 5 = 2 + 8 – 5 = 10 – 5 = 5 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 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: 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. Indus Valley Civilization Medieval History dating, it spread from the year 23501750. 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 Discovery: In 1921, R.B. Dayaram Sahani, first discovered Harappa, in the Montgomery district of the Punjab. According to radio-carbon 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. 11 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 welldeveloped, 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 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: ―We, the people of India having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic and to secure to all its citizens: Justice, social. economic and political; Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship Equality of status and of opportunity: and to promote among them all Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.

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 ‗People‘s 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 country‘s 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. 16 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 exofficio 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. 17 FCI CAPSULE 2015 3. = 264 Hence, (xm)n¹ Surds If n is a positive integer and ‗a‘ is a positive rational number (a > 0), then n√ais called a surd of order n or nth order surd n√aif 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 3√8 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. 18 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. eg, Factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 Factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 Here greatest and common factor of 20 and 36 is 4. :-> HCF of 20 and 36 is 4. Least Common Multiple The least common multiple of two or more given numbers is the least of their common multiples. eg, Multiple of 25 are 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, .. Multiple of 30 are 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, .. Here 150 is least common multiple of 25 and 30 :-> LCM of 25 and 30 is 150. Percentage ‗Per cent‘ means ‗per hundred‘. It is given by % symbol. Here x% means x per hundred . Thus, any percentage can be converted into an equivalent fraction by dividing it by 100. Simple Interest Interest It is the sum which is paid by the borrower to the lender for using the money for a specific time period. The money borrowed is called the Principal. The rate at which the interest is FCI Capsule 2015. 19 FCI CAPSULE 2015 calculated on the principal is called Rate of Interest.

Once upon a time, there was a royal elephant which used to reside in the premises of the king‘s 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 Elephant‘s 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 Elephant‘s shed. He ate the grains of sweet rice that fell from the Elephant‘s mouth. He liked the rice so much, that he started going there daily to eat the rice. For days, the huge Elephant didn‘t 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 didn‘t 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 didn‘t 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 King‘s Elephant became very sad after this incident. He missed his friend a lot and started neglecting everything. He didn‘t 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 didn‘t 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 Elephant‘s body, FCI Capsule 2015. 24 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, ―You‘re 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 doesn‘t know his whereabouts‖. The King asked, ―How can we bring back my Elephant‘s 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 Elephant‘s 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 Elephant‘s 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 Elephant‘s eyes sparkled with happiness.
