Ans: D Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the pass age. According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'fourdimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place statement. This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording th an the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frwasLions, scaled down to one -sixteenth of an inch.

Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point to point should not be even smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is the fWASL that the space between any two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions. A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a train can describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co -ordinate points by which sailor fixes his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum. Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York -Chicago express, one must mention not only that it goes from New-York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two-dimensional space-time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two-dimensional dollar-time continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four dimensional space time continuum is essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension. If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time continuum curve. Following are some sample questions on this passage: The significant feature of a continuum, according to the passage, revolves around The divisibility of the interval between any two points. An ordinary ruler's caliber for marking Its unending curve Its lucid from providing comprehensibility to the non -scientists as well It's variety of co-ordinates. Answer: A The purpose of this passage is to highlight the point that Plots and sea captains have something in common Stock market charts may be helpful to phy sicists The fourth dimension is time. Non-mathematician's are often afraid of the commonplace There is a marked quality to distance Answer: C According to the passage, an airlines traffic manager depends upon all of the following EXCEPT latitude altitud e the time co-ordinate longitude the continuous curve in co four Answer: E The underlying tone of this selection is persuasive deferential candid instructive gently condescending Answer: D According to the author if on wishes portray a physical event in which motion plays a

They took 244 after around 340 cleared aptitude, and I was one of them, hope to meet in CTS. Below are the few important grammatical rules which may be required to review to solve English aptitude paper in any MNCs

1. Possessive case Possessive case is generally used with living things e.g. the governors bodyguard. But is also used with personified objects: e.g. Indias heroes, natures law etc. 2. Comparison of adjectives: 1) Adjectives ending in or are followed by the preposition to(not than); as, Inferior, superior, prior, anterior, posterior, senior, junior.

e.g. Hari is inferior to rama in intelligence He is junior to all of his colleagues. 2) In comparing two things or classes of things the comparative should be used; as, Of Mumbai and Madras the former is wealthier. Of two evils, choose the less (not least). Note: later and latest refer to time, latter and last refer to position. Elder and eldest are used only of person, not of animals or thing. Older and oldest are used of both persons and things. 3. Personal pronouns There is a general construction e.g. You and I have done our duty. You and hari have idled away your time. He and I can never pull on together. i.e the construction is- you and I not I and you ,you and he not he and you ,he and I not I and he mind it. 4. Mood Subjunctive mood: a. past subjunctive is used 1) After the verb wish to indicate a situation which is unreal or contrary to fact: as, I wish I knew his name. (= Im sorry I dont know his name.)

She wishes the car belonged to you. 2) After if, to express improbability or unreality in the present: as; If I were you I should not do that (but I am not you, and never can be) If we started now we would be in time (but we cant start now) 3) After as if/though, to indicate unreality or improbability: as,

He orders me as if I were his wife (but I am not). He walks as though he were drunk (but he is not). 5. Tense This is a very vital part in grammar & also for apti. 6. Agreement of the verb with the subject 1) If the singular subjects are preceded by each and every the verb usually singular:as Every boy and girl was ready. Every man, woman and child was lost. 2) Two or more singular subjects connected by or, nor, either.or, neither...Nor take a verb in the singular: as, Either abdul or amir has stolen the watch. Neither rama nor his sister was there. 3) When subjects joined by or,nor are of different numbers, the verb must be plural, and the plural subject must be placed next the verb ;as, Rama and his brothers have done this. 4) When the subjects joined by or or nor are of different persons,the verb agrees with the nearer ; as, Either he or I am mistaken. Neither you nor he is mistaken. 5) Either, neither, each, everyone, many a, must be followed by a singular verb; as, Each of the substances is found in India. Many a man has done so. 6) Words joined to a singular subject by with, together with, in addition to, or as well as, etc.,are parenthetical, and therefore do not affect the number of the verb ; as, The chief, with all his men, was massacred. Rama, as well as hari and govind, likes hot curry. 7. The participle

Hearing the noise, the boy woke up. The word hearing qualifies the noun boy as an adjective does. It is formed from the verb hear, and governs an object. Participle is called a verbal adjective. a. Present participle We met a girl carrying a basket of flowers. b. Past participle Driven by hunger, he stole a piece of bread. c. Perfect participle Having rested, we continued our journey. The wind having failed, the crew set to work with a will. 1) Since the participle is a verb-adjective it must be attached to some noun or pronoun ; in other words it must always have a proper subject of reference. The following sentences are incorrect: Being a very hot day, I remained at my tent. Entering the room, the light was quite dazzling. The correct sentences are: It being a very hot day, I remained at my tent. Entering the room, I found the light quite dazzling. More examples: Sword being in hand, he rushed on the jailor. Breakfast having been over, we went out for a walk. 8. The gerund Gerund is verb-noun Few examples; I heard of his having gained a prize.

He is desirous of being praised. I hope you will excuse my (not me) leaving early. We rejoiced at his (not him) being promoted. 9. Auxiliaries This is another important chapter in grammar. A sentence construction: You should have been more careful. (Should + perfect infinitive indicates a past obligation that was not fulfilled). He should be in the library now. (Expresses probability). Note: Follow the auxiliaries (will/would, can/could, may/might etc . 10. Position of adverbs As a general rule, the word only should be placed immediately before the word it modifies; as, I worked only 2 sums. 11. Preposition 1) Since is used before a noun or phrase denoting some point of time, and is preceded by a verb in the perfect tenses ;as, I have eaten nothing since yesterday. Ha has been ill since Monday last. 2) From is used with non-perfect tenses; as, He will join school from tomorrow. I commenced work from 1st January. 3) For is used with a period of time; as, He has been ill for 5 days. 4) In before a noun denoting a period of time, means at the end of; within means before the end of; as, I shall return in an hour. I shall return within an hour.

5) Beside means by the side of, while besides means in addition to. 6) The prepositions for, from, in, on are often omitted before nouns of place or time; as, We did it last week, I cant walk a yard, wait a minute. 7) In and at are used in speaking of things at rest; to and into are used in speaking of things in motion; as, He is in bed. He ran to school. ,He jumped into the river.

8) On is used in speaking of things at rest, and upon the things in motion; as, He sat on a chair. , The cat sprang upon the table.

9) Till is used of time, and to is used of place; as, I slept till eight oclock. , He walked to the end of the street.

10) With often denotes the instrument and by the agent; as, He killed two birds with one shot. He was stabbed by a lunatic with a dagger. 11) But- as a rule is a conjunction. When used as a preposition but means except, with the exception of; as, What can he do but die. All is lost but honor. Note: also take a look at the prepositions that shows some most common relation to some words; as, 1) Place: Went about the world, leaned against a wall, tour round the world, put pen to paper, stand without the gate. (2) Time: by three oclock, ten minutes to twelve, on Monday. (3) Agency, instrumentality: Sent the parcel by post, was destroyed by fire, heard this through a friend, cut it with a knife.

(4) Manner: fought with courage, won with ease. (5) Cause, reason, purpose: Died of fever, died from fatigue, concealed it through shame, took medicine for cold. 6) Possession: The mosque of Omar, the boy with red hair 7) Contrast, concession: For (in spite of) all his wealth he is not content, with (in spite of) all his faults I admire him. 12. Conjunctions and their uses 1) Since, when used as a conjunction, should be preceded by a verb in the present perfect tense, and followed by a verb in the past indefinite tense; as, I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last. 2) That is now used a. To express reason, cause and is equivalent to because, for that, in that; as, He was annoyed that he was contradicted. b. To express purpose and is equivalent to in order that; as, We sow that we may reap. C. To express consequences, result, effect; as, Im so tired that I cant go on. 3) Scarcely should be followed by when, and not by than. Scarcely had he gone, when (not than) a policeman knocked at the door. 4) No sooner is followed by then, and not by but. No sooner had he returned than (not but) he was off again. No sooner did he see us than he dispersed.

13. Noun and pronoun 1) The object of verb or of a preposition, when it is a pronoun, should be in the objective form; as, Between you and me (not I) affairs look dark. Let you and me (not I) do it. There is really no difference between you and me. Please let jack and me go to the theatre. 14. Adjectives 1) A very common form of error is exemplified in the following sentence: The population of London is greater than any town in India. (Incorrect) The population of London is greater than that of any town in India. (Correct) Because, the comparison is between the population of London and the population of any town in India 15. Articles 1) Before a word beginning with a consonant sound a is used; as, A university, a European, a ewe, a one-rupee note, a one-eyed man. The words university, European etc. Begin with a consonant sound, that of you. One begins with the consonant sound of w. 2) Before words beginning with h and not accented on the first syllable, an is used; as, An historical novel, an hotel. 3) The red and white rose. (Means one rose) The red and the white rose. (Means two roses, the one red and the other white) The first and the second chapter=the first and second chapters. 16. Structures 1) subject+verb+noun/pronoun+adjective: The boy pushed the door open. We found the trunk empty. He turned the lamp low.

2) Subject+verb+noun/pronoun+present participle: I saw him crossing the bridge. She caught him opening yours letter. 3) Subject+verb+noun/pronoun+plain infinitive: I saw him go out.

The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and especially, the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out aga inst Hitler's atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality.

him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western Hemisphere. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is particularly vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol. Following are some sample questions on this passage:

bloodstream after she takes a drink? A. about one hour B. a few seconds C. several minutes D. at least 24 hours Ans: B

Quantitative: 5 on Venn Diagrams(One ques 5 parts) 5 Data Sufficiency problems 5 on Binary Numbers 5 on Cubes(One ques 5 parts) Some Aptitude questions on percentage(machine rate depriciate etc ....) & equation. only & like A left home early it take him 10 mnts to go to bus stand, if he left at 1:40 when he will reach.......this type Analytical: 6 on Syllogisms 2 on Logical Connectives 2 on Picture based completion 12 on Oddman out Picture based 3 on Puzzles There was no -ve marking. Tip 1: First answer Correction of sentences, Finding the incorrect sentences and the Jumbled sentences and then read a Reading Comprehension that is short in textual matter in that order. First read the RC questions and then read the RC, You will get all the answers in no time. Tips 2: First do the Binary numbers problem, its a direct lifting from the Book Quicker Maths by Tyra. It says substitute $=1 and *=0 and just solve the problems. There will be some

catches like it doubles and things like that just forget them and go on doing its just plain Binary numbers.Data Sufficiency was very easy. Then do the Venn Diagrams. Please practice these before you go, its very easy and it uses 3 sets on a whole. Now do the problem on Cubes Tips 3: First do the syllogisms its very easy just draw the venn diagrams and you will fly through the questions in no time.Please refer to the CAT books for these. Nonverbal from RS Agarwal will help you a lot.Some easy questions in picture based to look forward will be the figures which are very easy Then do odd man out. Puzzles do it at the last you will be quite relieved to have only 3 left and will be happy to do it.

Then Venn dig. Cube problem n others..u can surely score full marks fm coding n venn digcube is also easy when u understand it.For cube take the cubic root of the no of pieces.64 means 4(keep as x value)..then 2 side painted means 12*(x2).1side painted means 6*(x-2) 2 . (horizontal n vertical) like wise u must think n apply according to the question.. 1.venn dig- people hving dif heights 6feet ,66 feet, 55 feet.and questions like no of people who is 6 feet.no of people who is 55feet.. 2.In codin there will be only normal arithmetic operations n L.c.m..i don remember them. For ex..64/4= 16 = $****.first solve it n convert it to binary.. 3.Cube- a cube of 12 cm is cut into small 3cm pieces..then place another 4 small cubes over it..and another 2 small cubes over the 4cubes..then again one more cube over the 2 cubethe cube is then painted from top to bottom 12/3=4so 4row 4columndraw a dig of cube first. Imagining the cube only help u to solve rather than formulas. How many cubes r painted on only one side? how many cubes r painted on only 2 sides?

how many cubes r painted on only 3 sides? how many cubes r painted on only 4 sides? how many cubes r painted 0 sides?
