Coding-Decoding of Numbers, Letters, Symbols, (Figures), Blood relations, , 1. Analogy, Definition : An analogy compares the relationship between two things or ideas to highlight some, point of similarity. It is a way to clarify an idea or an unfamiliar concept by comparing it to, something familiar., Look at this example:, , NOTE :, , , , , , , , , , , The example given above asks you to identify the relationship between pairs of words., To answer this question, you must first decode the symbols. The colon (:) stands for the, phrase “is related to,” and the double colon (::) can be read as “in the same way that.” Thus,, you would read the above example like this: “Appalling is to pleasing in the same way that, interesting is to…”, To figure out the missing word, you need to identify the relationship between the first two, elements precisely as possible, and choose a word that will make the final pair have a, parallel relationship., Most accurately, you might describe the relationship between appalling and pleasing as, “appalling is an antonym of pleasing.”, Now read the first word of the second pair, supplying the same relationship: “interesting is, an antonym of…”, The only word that fits this blank adequately is “boring,” the opposite of ‘interesting’. The, other three options do not fit the blank as they are the synonyms of interesting., In the example above, the relationship between the words in the first pair is compared to the, relationship of words in the second pair. This is what we call an analogy is., , 71 | P a g e

3. CODING & DECODING, , , , , , Coding is a process in which a word, a number, or a series of combination of words and, numbers is expressed in a particular code or pattern based on various rules. You have to, answer the questions based on these set of rules., Decoding is the process of (interpreting) deciphering the coded pattern and reverting it to its, original form from the given codes. Hence, you are required to understand the logic behind, the coding pattern and then apply this logic to find answers., , LETTER CODING:, Here letters are assigned codes according to a set pattern or rule concerning the movement or, reordering / rearranging of letters and you need to detect this rule to decode a massage. Sometimes,, specific codes are assigned to particular letters without any set pattern. Observe a few examples to, know the various reordering or rearranging techniques., Ex-1, In a code language if TRAINS is coded as RTIASN, how PISTOL will be coded in the same, language?, (a) SITLOP, (b) IPSTLO, (c) SIPTLO, (d) IPTSLO, Solution: (Answer – d), If we compare the basic word {TRAINS} with the coded word {RTIASN}, we would see, that the letters used in the word are same as in the basic word but their order of placement has been, changed. Letter T at first position of the basic word has been placed at second position in the coded, word and the letter R at the second position has been placed in the first position., It means that in this question, letters of the basic word have been interchanged i.e. first letter with, second, third with the fourth and so on. And thus we get the coded word. So PISTOL will be coded, as IPTSLO. Hence option (d) is the answer., Ex-2, In a certain code, TEACHER is written as VGCEJGT. How is CHILDREN written in that, code?, (a) EJKNEGTP, , (b) EGKNFITP (c) EJKNFGTO (d) EJKNFTGP, , Solution: (Answer- d), Each alphabet in the word “TEACHER " is moved two steps forward to obtain the, corresponding alphabet of the code., TEACHER, 87 | P a g e
Page 89 :
VGCEJGT, (Each alphabet is increasing by 2), Similarly, we have, CHILDREN, EJKNFTGP, , Ex-3, In a certain code language, the word ROAD is written as WTFI. Following the same rule of, coding, what should be the word for the code GJFY?, (a) REAP (b) TAKE (c) BEAT (d) LATE, Solution: (Answer- c), Each alphabet of the word is five steps behind the corresponding alphabet of the given code, word., Hence, BEAT is coded as GJFY., , Ex-4, If ‘tee see pee’ means ‘drink fruit juice’; ‘see kee lee’ means ‘juice is sweet’ and ‘lee ree, mee’ means ‘he is intelligent’, which word in that language means ‘sweet’?, (a) see, (b) kee, (c) lee, (d) pee, Solution: (Answer b), In the first and second statement, the common word is ‘juice’ and the common code word is, ‘see’. So, ‘see’ means ‘juice’., In the second and third statements, the common word is ‘is’ and the common code is ‘lee’. So ‘lee’, means ‘is’. Thus in the second statement, the remaining word ‘sweet’ is coded as ‘kee’. Hence the, answer is choice (b)., , NUMBER CODING:, Numerical code is given or value is assigned to a word. Here the only way to relate the, alphabets & numbers is by associating the positions of the letters in the English alphabet., Sometimes any mathematical operation like addition or subtraction can be performed using the, position of the letters. Direct coding questions can also be asked., Ex-1 If PAINT is coded as 74128 and EXCEL is coded as 93596, then how would you encode, ACCEPT?, , 88 | P a g e
Page 90 :
(a) 455978, (b) 547978, (c) 554978, (d) 735961, Solution: (Answer- a), In the given code the alphabets have been coded as follows:, P, 7, , A I, 4 1, , N, 2, , T, 8, , E, 9, , X, 3, , C E L, 5 9 6, , So, in ACCEPT, A is coded as 4, C as 5, E as 9, P as 7 and T as 8. Hence the correct code is 455978, and therefore the answer is Choice (a)., , Ex-2, , If DELHI is coded as 73541 and CALCUTTA as 82589662, how can CALICUT be coded ?, a., b., c., d., , 5279431, 5978213, 8251896, 8543691, , Solution.(Answer: c), `The alphabets are coded as follows :, , D E L H I C A U T, 7 3 5 4 1 8 2 9 6, , So, in CALICUT,, C is coded as 8,, A as 2,, L as 5,, I as 1,, U as 9 and, T as 6., Thus, the code for CALICUT is 8251896., , Ex-3 If in a certain code, TWENTY is written as 863985 and ELEVEN is written as 323039, how, is TWELVE written in that code ?, a), b), c), d), , 863203, 863584, 863903, 863063, , 89 | P a g e
Page 91 :
Solution (Answer: a), The alphabets are coded as shown :, So, In TWELVE ,, T is coded as 8,, W as 6,, E as 3,, L as 2,, V as 0., Thus, the code for TWELVE is 863203., , T, , W, , E, , N, , Y, , L, , V, , 8, , 6, , 3, , 9, , 5, , 2, , 0, , Ex-4 In a certain code 'MISSIONS' is written as 'MSIISNOS'. How is 'ONLINE' written in that, code?, 1. OLNNIE, 2. ONILEN, 3. NOILEN, 4. LNOENI, 5. ONNLIE, Solution: Answer - Option 1, Explanation: First and last letter remain same. The others interchange their positions in pair of two., So, NL become LN and IN become NI so code of ONLINE will be OLNNIE., , SYMBOL CODING, Directions (Q1-5): In each of the following questions, there is a group of letters followed by, four combinations of digits/symbols (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to find out which of the, combinations correctly represents the group of letters based on the following digits/symbol, coding system and the conditions those follow and mark the number of that combination as, the answer. If none of the combinations is correctly represents the group of letters then mark, (E)., , 90 | P a g e

Indirect Reference, Father’s or Mother’s Daughter, Father’s or Mother’s Son, Father’s or Mother’s Sister, Father’s or Mother’s Brother, Father’s or Mother’s Mother, Father’s or Mother’s Father, Daughter’s Husband, Son’s Wife, Husband’s or Wife’s Brother, Husband’s or Wife’s Sister, Brother’s Daughter, Brother’s Son, Brother’s Wife, Sister’s Husband, Aunt’s or Uncle’s Son or Daughter, Granddaughter’s or Grandson’s daughter, , The real relation, Sister, Brother, Aunt, Uncle, Grandmother, Grandfather, Son-in-law, Daughter – in – law, Brother – in – law, Sister – In – law, Niece, Nephew, Sister-in-law, Brother- in- law, Cousin, Great grand daughter, , The first step to being able to solve blood relation questions is a logical reasoning of the relations, that exist between different members of a family, both close and far., EXAMPLES, Question 1: Pointing to a girl in the photograph, Ajay said, "Her mother's brother is the only son of, my mother's father." How is the girl's mother related to Ajay ?, A) Mother, B) Sister, C) Aunt, D) Grandmother, E) None of these, , 93 | P a g e
Page 95 :
Solution:, Only son of Ajay's mother's father -- Ajay's maternal uncle., So, the girl's maternal uncle is Ajay's maternal uncle., Thus, the girl's mother is Ajay's aunt., Question 2:, 1. A + B means A is the brother of B, 2. A × B means A is the father of B, 3. A ÷ B means A is the mother of B, Which of the following would mean "G is the son of H"?, A)H ×I × G, B)H + G × I, C)H ÷ G ÷ I, D) H × G + I, Solution: Answer: Option D, Go by options. In fourth option, our diagram will be like, , We don't know the gender of I. So. We will not put any symbol on its side., Question 3.A is B's sister. C is B's mother. D is C's father. E is D's mother. Then, how is A related, to D?, A. Grandfather, , B. Grandmother, , C. Daughter, , D. Granddaughter, , Answer: D) Granddaughter, , 94 | P a g e
Page 96 :
Explanation:, A is the sister of B and B is the daughter of C., , So, A is the daughter of C. Also, D is the father of C., So, A is the granddaughter of D., , Question 4.P is the brother of Q and R. S is R's mother. T is P's father. Which of the following statements, cannot be definitely true ?, , A. T is Q's father, , B. S is P's mother, , C. P is S's son, , D. Q is T's son, , Answer: D) Q is T's son, Explanation:, P, Q, R are children of same parents. So. S who is R's mother and T, who is R's father will be, mother and father of all three., However, it is not mentioned whether Q is male or female So, D cannot be definitely true., , Question 5.Pointing to a person, a man said to a woman, "His mother is the only daughter of your, father." How was the woman related to the person ?, A. Aunt, , B. Mother, , C. Wife, , D. Daughter, , Answer: A) Aunt, Explanation:, Daughter of your father — your sister. So, the person's mother is woman's sister or the woman is, person's aunt., , 95 | P a g e

UNIT – 2 : Logical Statements – Two premise argument,, , More than two premise argument using connectives, In logic, any statement is termed as the Proposition. Thus a proposition is a statement expressing, certain relation between two or more terms, analogous to a sentence in grammar., The proposition consists of three parts:, , , , , , Subject-The subject is that about which something is said, Predicate-The predicate is the part of the proposition denoting that which is affirmed or, denied about the subject., Copula-The copula is that part of the proposition which denotes the relation between the, subject and the predicate., Consider the proposition(‘Man is cultured’), Here ‘man’ is the subject., ‘Cultured’ is the quality affirmed for this subject. So it is the predicate., ‘is’ denotes the relation between the subject and the predicate. So it is the copula., , FOUR FOLD CLASSIFICATION OF PROPOSITIONS:, a. Universal Affirmative Proposition, Example-All lions are animals., , From this, we cannot say ‘All animals are lions., b. Universal Negative Proposition, Ex. - No child is intelligent by birth., , 96 | P a g e
Page 98 :
c. Particular Affirmative Proposition, Ex. - Some people are foolish., , Here the subject term ‘Some People’ is used not for all but only for some people and, similarly the predicate term ‘Foolish’ is affirmed for a part of the subject., d. Particular Negative Proposition, e.g. “ Some animals are not wild ”, , Here the subject term ‘ some animals’ is used only for a part of its class while the predicate, term ‘wild’ is not denied in entirety to the subject term., , These facts can be summarized as follows :, Proposition, a) Universal Affirmative Proposition, b) Universal Negative Proposition, c) Particular Affirmative Proposition, d) Particular Negative Proposition, , Type, All S is P., No S is P., Some S is P., Some S is not P., , SYLLOGISM:, Two premise argument, In Syllogism, a conclusion has to be drawn from two propositions , referred to as the, Premises., Example 1–, a. All lotus are flowers., b. All flowers are beautiful., c. All lotus are beautiful., 97 | P a g e
Page 99 :
The propositions a) and b) are the Premises and the proposition c) is called the, Conclusion which follows from the first two propositions., , Syllogism is concerned with 3 terms –, 1. Major term : It is the predicate of the conclusion and is denoted by P ., 2. Minor term : It is the subject of the conclusion and is denoted by S., 3. Middle term : It is the term common to both the premises and is denoted by M., , Example 2-, , Premises :, , 1. All dogs are animals., 2. Tiger is a dog., , Conclusion : Tiger is an animal., , Rules for deriving the conclusion :, I., , 98 | P a g e, , The conclusion contain the middle term., Example - Statements : 1. All men are girls., 2. Some girls are students., Conclusion : 1. All girls are men., 2. Some students are girls.
Page 100 :
A, B, Here both the conclusions 1 and 2 contain the middle term ‘girls’. From the above figures,, It is clear that conclusion 1 does not follow, but conclusion 2 follows., II. No term can be distributed in the conclusion unless it is distributed in the premises., Example - Statements : 1. Some dogs are goats., 2. All goats are cows., Conclusions : 1. All cows are goats., 2.Some dogs are cows., , A, B, Statement 1 is an I type proposition which distributes neither the subject nor the, predicate . Statement 2 is an A type proposition which distributes the subject i.e ‘goats’, only., Conclusion 1 is an A type proposition which distributes the subject ‘cow’ only., Since the term ‘cow’ is distributed in conclusion 1 without being distributed in the, premises , so conclusion 1 cannot follow., III., , The middle term (M) should be distributed at least once in the premises. Otherwise, the, conclusion cannot follow., For the middle term to be distributed in a premise,, i), M must be the Subject if premise is an A proposition., ii), M must be Subject or Predicate if premise is an E proposition., iii), M must be Predicate if premise is an O proposition., , NOTE : In an I proposition, which distributes neither the subject nor the Predicate, the, middle term cannot be distributed., Example : Statements :, , 1. All fans are watches., 2.Some watches are black., Conclusions : 1. All watches are fans., , 99 | P a g e
Page 101 :
2. Some fans are black., , A, B, In the premises, the middle term is ‘watches’. It is not distributed in the first premise which, is an A proposition as it doesn’t form its subject. Also, it isn’t distributed in the second premise, which is an I proposition. Since the middle term is not distributed at least once in the premises,, so no conclusion follows., IV., , No conclusion follows, a) If both the premises are particular, Example : Statements : 1. Some books are pens., 2.Some pens are erasers., Conclusions : 1. All books are erasers., 2.Some erasers are books., , A, B, Since both the premises are particular, no conclusion follows., b) If both the premises are negative, Example : Statements : 1. No flower is mango., 2.No mango is cherry., Conclusions : 1. No flower is cherry., 2.Some cherries are mangoes., , 100 | P a g e
Page 102 :
A, B, Since both the premises are negative, neither conclusion follows., c) If the major premise is particular and the minor premise is negative., Example :, Statements : 1. Some dogs are bulls., 2. No tigers are dogs., Conclusions : 1. No dogs are tigers., 2. Some bulls are tigers., , V., , A, B, Here the first premise containing the middle term ‘dogs’ as the Subject is the major, premise and the second premise containing the middle term ‘dogs’ as the Predicate, is the minor premise. From the figure it is clear that conclusion 1 follows and, conclusion 2 does not follow., If the middle term is distributed twice, the conclusion cannot be universal., Example:, Statements :, 1.All fans are chairs., 2.No tables are fans., Conclusion :, , 1.No tables are chairs., 2. Some tables are chairs., , A, B, Here the first premise is an A proposition and so the middle term ‘fans’ forming the, subject is distributed. The second premise is an E proposition and so the middle term, , 101 | P a g e
Page 103 :
fans forming the predicate is distributed. Since the middle term is distributed twice, so the conclusion cannot be universal., VI., , If one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative., Example:, Statements:, 1. All grasses are trees., 2.No tree is shrub., Conclusion:, 1. No grasses are shrubs., 2.Some shrubs are grasses., , Since one premise is negative the conclusion must be negative. So, only conclusion 1, follows and conclusion 2 cannot follow., VII., , If one is particular the conclusion is particular., Example:, Statements:, 1. Some boys are thieves., 2. All thieves are dacoits., Conclusion:, 1. Some boys are dacoits., 2.All dacoits are thieves., , A, B, Since one premise is particular the conclusion must be particular. So, only conclusion 1, follows and conclusion 2 cannot follow., VIII., , If both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion would be affirmative. Example:, Statements:, 1.All women are mothers., 2.All mothers are sisters., Conclusion:, 1.All women are sisters., 2.Some women are not sisters., , 102 | P a g e
Page 104 :
Since both premise are affirmative, the conclusion must be affirmative. So, only conclusion, 1 follows and conclusion 2 cannot follow., IX. If major premise be affirmative the conclusion must be particular., Example:, Statements:, 1.All plays are stories., 2.Some poems are plays., Conclusion:, 1.Some poems are stories., 2.All stories are poems., , A, B, The first premise containing the middle term ‘plays’ as the subject is the major premise. Also, it, is affirmative. So, the conclusion must be particular. So, only conclusion 1 follows and, conclusion 2 cannot follow., Example1: Which of the two conclusions can be concluded on the basis of given statements?, Statements: Some parrots are scissors., Some scissors are not combs., Conclusions: Some scissors are parrots., Some combs are parrots., Solution: Now, in this case, the possible conclusion is: Some scissors are parrots (I to I), as the, universal principal no. 4 says, that with two particular statements only I to I is possible. Therefore,, only 1 conclusion is possible. Nothing else is possible., , 103 | P a g e
Page 105 :
Example 2 : Which of the two conclusions can be concluded on the basis of given statements?, Statements:, , All flowers are candles., All lanterns are candles., , Conclusions: Some flowers are lanterns., Some candles are lanterns., , Solution:, Three possible diagrams are shown above for the given statements., Conclusion I follows from last two possible solutions, but does not follow from the first possible, solution. Therefore, this conclusion is false., Conclusion II follows from all the three possible solutions., Therefore, conclusion II is true., , Example 3: Which of the two conclusions can be concluded on the basis of given statements?, Statements: All prisoners are men., No man is educated., Conclusions: All prisoners are uneducated., Some men are prisoners., , 104 | P a g e
Page 106 :
Solution: Two possible diagrams are shown below for the given statements., , A, Conclusion, , I, , follows, , B, from, , both, , the, , possibilities,, , so, , conclusion, , I, , is, , true., , Conclusion II also follows from both the possibilities, so conclusion II is also true., Therefore, both conclusions are true., Example 4: Which of the two conclusions can be concluded on the basis of given statements?, Statements: All sides are lengths., No length is a breadth., Conclusions: All lengths are sides, No breadth is a side, Solution: Two possible diagrams are shown below for the given statements., , A, , B, , Conclusion I: False (conclusion follows from the second possibility but doesn't follow from the first, possibility), Conclusion II: True (conclusion follows from both the Venn diagram possibilities.), Therefore, only conclusion II is true., , Q 5 - Statements:, 105 | P a g e, , I. Some pigs are bachelors., II. All bachelors are blessed.
Page 107 :
Conclusions:, , I. Some pigs are blessed., II. At least some blessed are bachelors., , A - If only conclusion I follows., B - If only conclusion II follows., C - If either conclusion I or II follows., D - If neither conclusion I nor II follows., E - If both conclusion I and II follows., Answer : E, Explanation, , A, , B, , Some pigs are bachelors (I) + all bachelors are blessed (A) = I + A = I = some pigs are blessed., Hence conclusion I follows. Again all bachelors are blessed - conversion - some blessed are, bachelors. Hence conclusion II also follows., , Q 6 - Statements:, , I. Some pictures are beds., II. All beds are trees., Conclusions: I. Some pictures are trees., II. At least some trees are beds., A - If only conclusion I follows., B - If only conclusion II follows., C - If either conclusion I or II follows., D - If neither conclusion I nor II follows., , 106 | P a g e
Page 108 :
E - If both conclusion I and II follows., Answer : E, Explanation:, , A, , B, , Some pictures are beds (I) + all beds are trees (A) = I + A = I = some pictures are trees. Hence, conclusion I follows. Again all beds are trees - conversion - some trees are beds. Hence conclusion, II also follows., , Three premise argument, A syllogism is a form of reasoning in which the conclusion is drawn from the given statements. Three, Premise Arguments means that there are 3 statements and 1 or more conclusions. These are same as, the two premise arguments. They are also represented in the form of Venn Diagrams., A. Definite Conclusions, , In the three premise arguments, three statements are given. These three statements can be used to draw, conclusions or define possibilities. Conclusions are drawn when the statements directly lead to one of, the conclusions. Below each set of statements, a set of conclusions will be given. your job is to identify, the correct option.Definite conclusions are those conclusions which are definitely true from the given, Premises. In the arguments, the premise is very important. The conclusions or the inference are drawn, from the premise and the reasoning is entirely based on the premise., Examples –, 1. Statements:, , I. All A are B, II. All B are C, III. Some D is A, , Conclusions: I. All A is C., II. All A are D, III. Some D is B, 107 | P a g e
Page 109 :
A) I, II and III are correct, B) Only I and II are correct, C) Only II and III are correct, D) Only I and III are correct, Answer- We can solve this question similarly as we used to solve the Questions of 2 Premises by using, the Venn Diagrams. We can use the Venn Diagrams to easily solve this question. In fact, to solve the, questions on arguments, we will have to use the Venn diagrams. Let us see below:, , A, , B, , C, , From the Venn Diagram, we can see that the conclusions I and III definitely follow., So the correct option is D) Only I and III are correct., Explanation: The conclusion II does not follow because in the statement it is given that Some D is A, and in the conclusion, it is given that All A is D. There is some part of A about which we do not have, any information so any definite conclusion about it will not follow., B. Possibilities, Possibilities are those conclusions which are not definitely true but they may or may not be true. We, can take the same example here as we saw above., 1. Statements :, , Conclusions :, , I. All A are B, II. All B are C, III. Some D are A, I. All D are A is a possibility., II. All C are A is a possibility., , A) Both I, II are correct, 108 | P a g e
Page 110 :
B) Only I is correct, C) Only II is correct, D) The data is not sufficient, Answer: We can solve this question by using the Venn diagram., , Here both the conclusions follow., Explanation: For Conclusion I: From the above Venn diagram (iv) we can conclude that conclusion I, clearly follows being a possibility., For Conclusion II: From the above Venn diagram (iv) we can conclude that conclusion II clearly, follows being a possibility., Hence the correct option is A) Both I, II are correct., , Other Types of Questions, 2. Statements :, , I. Some A is not B, II. Some B are C, III. Some D is C, , Conclusions:, , I. All A is not B is a possibility, II. Some B are D, , Answer:- We can solve this question by the below Venn Diagram. The cross in the red designates the, relation “are not”. We can say that since some A are B, not all A are B is also one possibility. The, following Venn Diagram represents the statements present in the above question., , 109 | P a g e
Page 111 :
(i), , (ii), , (iii), , Hence only the conclusion I follow., Explanation: For Conclusion I: It is given that All A is not B is a possibility but in Statement I, it is, given that Some A are not B., So, from the above Venn diagram it is clear that conclusion I is correct., For Conclusion II: It does not follow because no direct relation between B and D is given. The only, relation is between C and D and between B and C. So conclusion II doesn’t follow., Questions 1. Statements:, , Conclusions:, , I. All Teachers are Lawyers, II. All Lawyers are Doctors, III. All Doctors are Engineers, I. Some Engineers are Lawyers, II.

UNIT -3: Venn Diagrams, Mirror Images, Problems on Cubes and Dices, VENN DIAGRAMS, It is a process of showing complex relationship between 2-3 categories diagrammatically through, various geometric strictures. Intersection between two geometric structures indicate that they have, something in common and total isolation indicates just opposite of that., Venn diagram, also known as Euler-Venn diagram is a simple representation of sets by diagrams., The usual depiction makes use of a rectangle as the universal set and circles for the sets under, consideration., (a), , Venn Diagram in case of two elements, , Where;, X = number of elements that belong to set A only, Y = number of elements that belong to set B only, Z = number of elements that belong to set A and B both (A B), W = number of elements that belong to none of the sets A or B, From the above figure, it is clear that, n(A) = x + z ;, n (B) = y + z ;, n(A ∩ B) = z;, n ( A ∪ B) = x +y+ z., Total number of elements = x + y + z + w, Venn Diagram in case of three elements, , 112 | P a g e

Example 3 :, The population of a town is 10000. Out of these 5400 persons read newspaper A and 4700 read, newspaper B. 1500 persons read both the newspapers. Find the number of persons who do not read, either of the two papers., Solution :, Let A = The set of persons who read newspaper A, B = The set of persons who read newspaper B, , Number of persons who read at least one news paper = 3900 + 1500 + 3200, = 8600, Total population = 10000, To find the number of persons who do not read either of the two papers, we have to subtract, number of persons who read at least one from total population. = 10000 - 8600, = 1400, Hence the number of persons who do not read either of the two papers is 1400., Example 4:, In a school, all the students play either Foot ball or Volley ball or both. 300 students play Foot ball,, 270 students play Volley ball and 120 students play both games. Find, 119 | P a g e
Page 121 :
(i) the number of students who play Foot ball only, (ii) the number of students who play Volley ball only, (iii) the total number of students in the school, Solution :, Let A = The set of students who play foot ball, B = The set of students who play volley ball, , (i) The number of students who play Foot ball only is 180, (ii)The number of students who play Volley ball only is 150, (iii) The total number of students in the school = 180 + 120 + 150, = 450, Example 5 :, In a School 150 students passed X Standard Examination. 95 students applied for Group I and 82, students applied for Group II in the Higher Secondary course. If 20 students applied neither of the, two, how many students applied for both groups?, Solution :, A = The set of students who applied for Group I, B = The set of students who applied for Group II, , 120 | P a g e
Page 122 :
Number of students who applied at least one group = 150 - 20, = 130, n (A) = 95, n (B) = 82 and n (A U B) = 130, n (A U B) = n (A) + n (B) - n (A n B), 130 = 95 + 82 - n (A n B), 130 = 177 - n (A n B), n (A n B) = 177 - 130 = 47, Hence the number of students applied for both groups is 47., , MIRROR IMAGE, A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost, identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it, results from reflection off of substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept, in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures., The image of an object as seen in a mirror is its mirror reflection or mirror image. In such an, image, the right side of the object appears on the left side and vice versa. A mirror-image is therefore, said to be laterally inverted and the phenomenon is called the lateral inversion., Some letters don’t change upon reflection. In other words, they are the same as that of, their Mirror Images. The letters having identical mirror images are A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y., Similarly, in small letters we have i, l, o, v, w, and x that have the same Mirror Image as that of their, original images. The number 1 and 8 are the only two numbers with their identical mirror images., The Left Hand Side (L H S) of real image becomes the Right Hand Side (R H S) in mirror image, and the R H S in the real image becomes the L H S in the mirror image., , 121 | P a g e

Examples 1. Which among the following illustrations specifies the correct mirror image of O B S T I N A T, E?, , SolutionThe first step is to check the first and the last letters. We know that the reflection at a, mirror is equivalent to an inversion. In other words, we say that in a mirror top and bottom of, an image doesn’t change but the Left Hand Side (L H S) of real image, becomes the Right Hand, Side (R H S) in mirror image and the R H S in the real image becomes the L H S in the mirror image., So, (a) is the correct option., 2. Which among the following illustrations specifies the correct mirror image of P R O C R A S T, INATE?, , Answer: Let us see the first letter in the mirror image of P R O C R A S T I N A T E., The first letter in the mirror image would be the last letter in the original word P R O C, R, A S T I N A T E, which is E. The only option that has its first letter as the mirror, image of E is, option (b). Therefore (b) is the correct option., 3.

( 4 ), , PROBLEMS ON CUBES AND DICES, CUBES, Let's first learn some basic terminologies i.e. face, vertex and edge of a cube., In a cube, there are 6 faces, 8 vertices & 12 edges. Vertex means corners & edge means side., , Generally, questions from this topic are of the type wherein, a cube with side measuring unit, 'x' is painted on all faces and is cut into smaller cubes with sides measuring unit 'y'. You are then, required to find the number of cubes having 'n' faces painted., The first thing that you need to figure out is the number of smaller cubes. For this, you look, at one particular edge of the big cube and figure out how many smaller cubes can fit into this. It will, 𝑥 3, , 𝑥, , be 𝑦. So, the number of smaller cubes will be (𝑦), , Since all the smaller cubes will have at least one face facing inside i.e. not on the surface of, the original cube, hence, none of the smaller cubes will have all faces painted. Further, since the, maximum number of faces of the larger cube that intersect at a point are 3(at the corners), hence, the, smaller cubes can have a maximum of 3 faces painted., So, the number of smaller cubes with 3 faces painted = No of corners of larger cube = 8, (always), provided none of the faces of the larger cube is left unpainted., 128 | P a g e
Page 130 :
Cube Sample Questions, Example 1: A cube having a side of 6 cm is painted red on all the faces and then cut into smaller, cubes of 1 cm each. Find the total number of smaller cubes so obtained., Solution:, , 6 3, , As explained above, the number of smaller cubes = (1) = 216 smaller cubes., (Here x=6 and y=1), Example 2: In the above example, how many cubes will have three faces painted?, Solution: As explained above, only the corner cubes i.e. the 8 cubes at the corners of the original, cube will have three faces painted. Hence the answer will be 8 only. To find the number of smaller, cubes with only 2 faces painted, you need to consider the cubes where 2 faces of the bigger cube, , 129 | P a g e
Page 131 :
meet, i.e. the edges. Remember, this includes the cubes present at the corners as well, so you need to, remove those 2 cubes from the number of cubes on each edge., Example 3: In the above example, how many cubes will have only two faces painted?, Solution: As discussed above, only the cubes at the edge of the bigger cube can have two faces, painted. The larger cube has 6 cm edge and smaller cube is 1 cm edge. Hence, there are 6 cubes on, each edge. However, you need to consider 4 middle cubes only, as the 2 cubes on each corner will, have 3 painted faces. Hence, there are 4 such cubes on each edge. As there are 12 edges, there will, be 4 × 12 = 48 cubes, Example 4: In the above example, how many cubes will have only one face and no side painted?, Solution: As discussed above, only the cubes at the face of the bigger cube can have only one, painted face. Since the larger cube has 6 cm edge and smaller cube is 1 cm edge, hence, if you see, one of the faces of the larger cube, you will see 6 × 6 = 36 cubes. Out of these, exclude the cubes, which lie on the edges, as they have two or more faces which are painted. Thus, on each face of the, original cube, there will be 4 × 4 = 16 cubes will have only one face painted., As there are 6 such faces, the number of such smaller cubes will be 16 × 6 = 96., Lastly, the number of cubes having no faces painted can be found by subtracting the sum of the, painted cubes from the total number of smaller cubes. Therefore, the required answer is 216 – (8 +, 48 + 96) = 64 cubes., Example 5: A cube having an edge of 12 cm each. It is painted red on two opposite faces, blue on, one other pair of opposite faces, black on one more face and one face is left unpainted. Then it is cut, into smaller cubes of 1 cm each. Answer the following questions:, , , The total no. of smaller cubes/, , , , The no. of smaller cubes which are having three-faces painted., , , , The no. of smaller cubes which are having two-faces painted., , , , The no. of smaller cubes which are having one-face painted., , , , The no. of smaller cubes which are having zero-face painted., Solution:, , 130 | P a g e
Page 132 :
, , Total number of cubes= ( 12× 12 × 12 ) / ( 1× 1 × 1)=1728, , , , For a cube with all sides painted we have 8 cubes with 3 sides colored. But here we have 1 side, unpainted. Therefore, we will have only 4 cubes with 3 sides painted. The other 4 cubes will have, only 2 sides painted., , , , For 2 sides painted, we look for the edges., A cube has 12 edges., 8 edges, each edge having 10 cubes will have 2 sides painted. (4 edges of an unpainted side won’t, be included)., We'll also include those 4 cubes (which we didn’t count while counting 3 coloured sides, as they, have 2 sides painted), Cubes on 4 edges of the unpainted side of the cube will have 1 side painted (due to the unpainted, side)., Therefore, total cubes with 2 sides painted= 8 ×10 + 4= 84 cubes., , , , For 1 side painted, we look for the faces of the cube., A cube has 6 faces., 5 faces each having ( 12 – 2 ) × ( 12 - 2) = 100 cubes will have one side painted., We’ll have to include those cubes on the edges linked with an unpainted face., , 131 | P a g e
Page 133 :
10 cubes on each of those edges will have 1 side painted., Therefore, total cubes with 1 side painted= 5 × 100 + 4 × 10 = 540 cubes., , , According to the formula, cubes with no side painted= ((12 − 2)3 )= 1000., But we have to include the cubes from the unpainted side too. It will be 10×10=100, So, total number of unpainted cubes= 1000+100=1100., Shortcut Formulae, , , , For a cube of side n × n × n painted on all sides which is uniformly cut into smaller cubes of, dimension 1 × 1 × 1,, , , , Number of cubes with 0 side painted= (𝑛 − 2)3, , , , Number of cubes with 1 sides painted = 6 (𝑛 − 2)2, , , , Number of cubes with 2 sides painted= 12(𝑛 − 2), , , , Number of cubes with 3 sides painted= 8 (always), DICE, A Dice is a cube. In a cube, there are six faces., The six faces in the cube are– ABCG, GCDE, DEFH, BCDH, AGEF and ABHF., , 1., 2., 3., 4., , Four faces are adjacent to one face, There are pairs of opposing faces e.g. Opposite of DEFH is ABCG and so on, CDEG is the upper face of the cube, ABHF is the bottom face of the cube, , Important Facts:, 1., , A cube has 6 square faces or sides, 132 | P a g e
Page 134 :
2. A cube has 8 points (vertices), 3. A cube has 12 edges, 4. Only 3 sides of a cube are visible at a time (known as “Joint Sides”) and these sides can never be on, the opposite side of each other, 5. Things that are shaped like a cube are often referred to as ‘cubic’, 6. Most dice are cube shaped, with the numbers 1 to 6 on the different faces., Certain Basic Rules:, There are certain dice rules in reasoning which can be sued to solve dice-based questions:, Rule No. 1:, Two opposite faces of the dice cannot be adjacent to each other., E.g. Two positions of a dice are shown below., , Here, faces with number 4, 3, 6 and 1 are adjacent to the face number 2., Therefore, the 4,3,6,1 can’t be opposite to the face number 2., Therefore, face number 5 is opposite to the face number 2., Rule No. 2:, If two dice are shown as below, and one of the two common faces (Face number 4) is in the, same position, then the remaining faces will be opposite to each other., E.g.: Two dice are shown below., , In both the diagrams, two faces numbered 1 & 3 are common., 133 | P a g e
Page 135 :
Also, 5 & 6 are remaining faces. Hence, face which is number 5 is opposite to the face number 6., Rule No. 3:, If in 2 different positions of the dice, the positions (different), the position of the face that’s, common is the same, and then the opposite faces of the faces that remain will be in the same, positions., , E.g.:, , In both the positions, face number 1 is common for both dice is same.Therefore, the opposite of 4 is, 2 and the opposite of 5 is 6., Rule No. 4:, If 2 positions of a die are given (Different) and it is also stated that common face is different, then the face opposite to the given common face would be that which is not shown on any given, face in the 2 given positions. It is also to be noted that the opposite face of the faces that are left, cannot be the same., E.g.:, , Note, in the above shown dice, the face having value 6 is not in the similar position. The face, numbered 1 is not shown. So, the face opposite to the face with number 6 is 1.Also, the opposite, face of 3 is the face with number 2 and the opposite to face numbered 5 is the face with number 4., 134 | P a g e
