Direction Sense Test

  Direction Sense Test     Objective   ·                     Students will develop the ability to trace and follow the logical path correctly and sense of direction correctly as well.     Introduction   Direction is a measurement of position of one thing with respect to another thing. Displacement is the measurement of distance between initial and the final point. Direction and distance test mainly deal with two types of directions i.e. main. directions and cardinal directions.     Main Directions   There are four types of directions, viz, East, West, North and South as shown below. The word 'NEWS' stands for all the four directions, i.e. North, East, West and South.     Cardinal Directions   A direction between two main directions is called cardinal direction. Clearly, there are four cardinal directions. (i) N-E (North-East)                                                (h) N-W (North-West) (iii) S-E (South-East) and (iv) S-W (South-West) Note: Angle formed between two main directions is \[90{}^\circ \] and angle formed between a cardinal direction and main direction is \[45{}^\circ \] as shown in the above diagram.     Rotation of Angles   To solve angle movement questions, it is necessary to know about the rotations of angles which are given below. (i) For right direction movement (Clockwise) (ii) For left direction movement (Anti-clockwise) Left turn Anti-clockwise direction Right turn Clockwise direction   The change in direction when a person or vehicle takes a right more...

Logical Venn Diagram

  Logical Venn Diagram     Objectives   ·                     Students will be able to find out the relation between some items of a group by diagrams. ·                     They will be able to compare and contrast groups of things.     Introduction               A Venn Diagram is a visual brainstorming tool used to compare and contrast two (sometimes three) different things. Comparing is looking at traits that things have in common, while contrasting is looking at how they differ from each other.             A Venn Diagram is made up of two large circles that intersect with each other to form a space in the middle. Each circle represents something that you want to compare and contrast. Where the two circles intersect, you would write traits that the two things have in common. In either side of the intersecting space, you would write the differences among the two things.     Type-I: Different Types of Questions Based on Venn Diagrams   CASE 1: When one group of items is completely included in the second group of items and the second, again completely belongs to the third group, they are represented as shown.   Example 1: Seconds, Minutes, Hours Explanation: Venn diagram would be as follows: Clearly, seconds are a part of minutes and minutes are a part of hours.       CASE 2: If the items evidently belong to three different groups, i.e., they are not correlated with each other in any way. They are represented as shown.   Example 2: Whale, Crocodile, Bird Explanation: They all belong to different categories.   more...

Problem - Solving

  Problem - Solving       Objectives   ·                     Students will develop the ability to understand what the goal of the problem is and what rules could be applied that represent the key to solving the problem. ·                     They will develop abstract thinking and creative approach.                 Introduction   The process of working through details of a problem to reach a solution is called problem solving. It may include mathematical or systematic operations and can be a gauge of an individual's critical thinking skills.     Four Stages of Problem Solving   Stage 1: Understand and explore the problem; Stage 2: Find a strategy; Stage 3: Use the strategy to solve the problem; Stage 4: Look back and reflect on the solution.     Example 1: Four families P, Q, R and S are living in houses in a row. Q has P and S as neighbours. S has Q and R as heighbours. Who lives next to P? (a) P                            (b) Q                (c) R                            (d) S   Ans. (b) Explanation: The information can be represented as:   So, Q lives next to P.     DIRECTIONS (Examples 2 & 3): Read the given information and answer the following questions.     Four friends Ronit, Akhil, Manan and Sanam like to play four different sports namely Hockey, Tennis, more...

Mirror and Water Image

  Mirror and Water Image       Objective   ·                     Students will learn how different objects are seen when they get reflected both in Mirror and in Water.     Introduction   The reflection of object into the mirror is called its mirror image. It is obtained by inverting an object laterally. If we combine the original figure and mirror image together they form symmetry.       Mirror Image   Mirror Images of Capital letters    The capital letters which have the same mirror images are: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y     Mirror Images of Small letters                        The small letters which have the same mirror images are: i, l, o, v, w, x   Mirror Images of Numbers       0 and 8 numbers have the same mirror images.     Mirror Image of Clock Time For mirror image of clock time, the given time shall be subtracted from 12.00 or 11.60.     Example 1: What will be the mirror image of clock time 3:40?   Explanation: By using simple trick             11:60             3: 40             more...

Visual Reasoning

  Visual Reasoning       Objectives   ·                     To identify relationship, similarities and differences between shapes and patterns. ·                     To recognise visual sequences and relationships between objects and remembering these.     Introduction   Visual reasoning is the process of manipulating one's mental image of an object to reach a certain conclusion.     Types of Question     Types of Visual Reasoning     1. Paper Folding and Cutting In these types of questions, there are three or four figures given in one line. Each figure followed a pattern. Each figure consists of a dotted line along which it is to be folded and the arrow shows the side which it is to be folded. After folding, the paper is cut or punched and then students have to visualize the correct figure that will be produced when the paper is unfolded.     Direction (Example 1): In the following example, a piece of paper is folded and cut and then unfolded. One of the four options resembles the unfolded paper. Select the correct option.   Example 1: (a)                             (b)                 (c)                             (d)   Ans.
