Question 1 1.25 / -0
Directions : In the following problem, out of the four figures marked a, b, c and d, three are similar in a certain manner. However, one figure is not like the other three. Choose the figure which is different from the rest.
Solution
In figures a, c and d, the number of sides in the inner diagram is one less than the number of sides in the outer diagram. But, in figure b, the number of sides in the inner diagram is two less than the number of sides in the outer diagram. Hence, it is the correct answer.
Question 2 1.25 / -0
Directions: In the question, a problem figure is given and four answer figures marked (1), (2), (3) and (4) are given. Select the answer figure which is exactly the same as the problem figure.
Solution
Only figure 2 is similar to question figure.
Question 3 1.25 / -0
Directions: In the following question, a part of figure (X) is missing. Find the correct figure to replace the sign of question mark (?).
Solution
Option (2) is correct.
Question 4 1.25 / -0
Directions: The set of figures in the first row represents a series. From the set of figures in the second row, find the one that continues the series in the first row.
Solution
In the first step, 2 dots are added to the preceding figure and then in the next step, 1 dot is subtracted and again 2 dots are added and so on so forth. Going by this logic, 1 dot should be subtracted from the last figure of first row to get the next figure. Subtracting 1 dot out of 4 leaves us with 3 dots. Thus, answer option 2 is correct.
Question 5 1.25 / -0
Directions: In this question, the second figure of the Problem figures bears a certain relationship to the first figure. Similarly, one of the figures in the Answer figures bears the same relationship to the third figure.

Solution
Problem figure 2 is obtained by rotating Problem figure 1 by an angle of 90° in the clockwise direction. Similarly, Answer figure (b) is obtained by rotating Problem figure 3 by an angle of 90° in the clockwise direction. Thus, answer option (2) is correct.

Once there was a small boy. His name was Shankar. He was from a poor family. One day, he was passing through the forest carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food even for himself. So, he continued on his way. On his way he saw a deer which was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have water even for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a man who wanted to make a camp but he did not have wood. Shankar asked him his problem and gave some of his wood to him. In return, he gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food and gave some water to the deer. The old man and the deer were very happy. Shankar then happily went on his way. However, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn't move and no one was there to help him. But, the old man whom he had helped before saw him; he quickly came and pulled him up on the hill. He had many wounds on his legs. The deer, to whom Shankar had given water, saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought back some herbs. After some time his wounds had recovered.

Bustards are large and highly terrestrial birds mainly associated with dry open country and grasslands. They resemble ostrich in structure in having a horizontal body with uncovered legs but are the heaviest of the flying birds, unlike ostrich which is among the flightless birds. Their distribution is restricted to some small pockets of dry areas in central and western India and eastern Pakistan. It is usually found in dry and semi-dry grasslands, open areas with thorny weeds, but it avoids irrigated areas. The rapid decrease in the population of India's bustards and their endangered status has forced the Ministry of Environment and Forests to form species recovery programs in 2012 for the Great Indian Bustard, the Bengal Florican and the Lesser Florican which are still to be implemented.

Bustards are large and highly terrestrial birds mainly associated with dry open country and grasslands. They resemble ostrich in structure in having a horizontal body with uncovered legs but are the heaviest of the flying birds, unlike ostrich which is among the flightless birds. Their distribution is restricted to some small pockets of dry areas in central and western India and eastern Pakistan. It is usually found in dry and semi-dry grasslands, open areas with thorny weeds, but it avoids irrigated areas. The rapid decrease in the population of India's bustards and their endangered status has forced the Ministry of Environment and Forests to form species recovery programs in 2012 for the Great Indian Bustard, the Bengal Florican and the Lesser Florican which are still to be implemented.
