MATHEMATICAL REASONING
(For both General and Technical/Professional Cadres)
Total Marks-50

Mathematical Reasoning is based on the principles of Logic. A sound knowledge of Mathematical

Reasoning prepares one not only to solve mathematical problems but also develops the intellectual
ability to resolve problems in all spheres of public life and to arrive at impartial and impersonal
intelligent decisions.

The examination in Mathematical Reasoning will test the ability of the candidate to apply knowledge
of Mathematics and Mathematical Reasoning acquired up to secondary level, especially to concrete
application-oriented problems.

The syllabus of the examination is given below:

1. Simplification of Arithmetic and Algebraic Expressions.

 2. Unitary Method, Average, Percentage, Simple and Compound interest, LCM, GCD, Ratio and
Proportion, Profit and Loss.
3. Algebraic Formulas, Factorization of Polynomials, Linear and Quadratic Equations, Linear and
Quadratic Inequalities.
4. Systems of Linear Equations with two or three unknowns.
5. Exponents and Logarithms. Exponential and Logarithmic functions.
6. Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences and Series.
7. Line, Angle, Triangle related theorems. Theorem of Pythagoras, Circle Theorems, Corollaries.
8. Area related theorems and construction, Mensuration plane figures and solid objects.
9. Cartesian Geometry- Distance, Equation of a Straight Line.
10. Trigonometric ratios and functions. Problems on height and distances.
11. Set theory. Venn diagram.
12. Counting Principles, Permutations and Combinations. Elementary Probability.

Marks Distribution

Full marks is 50. Twelve questions will be set, each carrying five marks. The candidate will be asked to
answer any ten questions out of twelve.

MENTAL ABILITY
(For both General and Technical/Professional Cadres)
Total Marks-50

The objective of mental ability test is to assess differential aptitude of the candidate. The following areas
are likely to be covered:

1. Verbal Reasoning: The verbal reasoning test, as its name implies, is a measure of ability to
understand concepts framed in pairs of words. The word used in these items may come from
history, geography, literature, science, or any other content area. The item thus samples the
candidates knowledge and his/her ability to abstract and generalize relationships inherent in that
knowledge.

Example: Man has an inborn desire to..........the unknown.

Invent
Discover
Recover
Solve
fear

2. Abstract Reasoning: The abstract reasoning test is intended as a nonverbal measure of the
candidates reasoning ability. The series presented in each problem requires the perception of an
operating principle in the changing diagrams. In each instance, the candidate must discover the
principle or principles governing the change of the figures and give evidence of his
understanding by designating the diagram which should follow.
3. Space Relations: The Space Relation test is a measure of ability to deal with concrete materials
through visualization. The ability to visualize a constructed object from a picture of a pattern has
been used frequently in test of structural visualization. The ability to imagine how an object
would appear if rotated in various ways has been used effectively in the measurement of space
perception.

Example: A man travels 1 mile, then turn left and travels 1 mile, then he turns right and travels 2
miles, then again he turns right, and travels 5 miles. How far is he from the starting point?

Answer:
A. 5 Miles
B. 1 mile
C. 9 miles
D. 6 miles

4. Numerical Ability: The test is a measure of the candidates ability to reason with numbers, to
manipulate numerical relationship and to deal intelligently with quantitative materials.

Example: What number has been left out?

4 25 6 49 ?
Ans:
A. 8
B. 81
C. 24
D. 121
E. None of these

5. Spelling and Language: The spelling and language test is intended to measure the candidates
ability to detect errors in grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. The items reflect the
principles of present day formal writing, and the ability measured by the test is highly predictive
of success in a variety of academic courses.
Example: wbPi Aiiv w`q k MVb Kib|
i jv `v c d j
6. Mechanical Reasoning: The ability measured by the Mechanical Reasoning test may be
regarded as one aspect of intelligence, if intelligence is broadly defined. The person who stands
high in this characteristic finds it easy to learn the principles of operation and repair of complex
devices.
