Part II · Comprehension 3. SAMPLE CHAPTERS OF THE STUDY KIT Section 1: General Intelligence and Reasoning Coding-Decoding What is Coding-Decoding? For transmitting secret messages from one place to another, especially in defense services, Coding is used. Decoding is the ability to break the secret code. The codes are based on various principles or patterns. In CSAT, questions based on coding-decoding could be given to judge the intelligence and mental ability of the candidates. The coded word itself does not make any sense unless we know the coding principle. For coding- decoding, following basic knowledge is required. 1. Forward Order of Letters A B C D E F G H I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 J K L M N 0 P Q R 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 S T U V W X Y Z 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2. Reverse Order of Letters A B C D E F G H I 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 J K L M N 0 P Q R 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 S T U V W X Y Z 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 3. Opposite Letters A-Z, H-S, B-Y, I-R, C-X, J-Q, D-W, K-P, E-V, L-0, F-U, M-N, G-T. The questions based on coding-decoding are broadly categorised into following categories Click Here To Buy This Kit:- http://www.sscportal.in/community/guidance-programme/study-kit-cgl-2012 Guidance Programme for SSC Combined Graduate Level Exam 2012 http://sscportal.in/community/guidance-programme/cgl Type 1 Coding with Alphabet Letters: In such questions, the letters do not stand for themselves but are allotted some other values based on some logical patterns or analogies. By deciphering the principles or pattern involved the candidates are required to decode the coded word. Example l: As ‘COUNSEL’ is to BITIRAK’ So ‘GUIDANCE’ is to (a) FOHYZJBB (b) HOHYBJBA (c) FPHZZKAB (d) FORHYZJBB Solution. (a) The pattern is C – 1 = B O – 6 = I U – 1 = T N – 5 = I S – 1 = R E – 4 = A L – 1 = K G U I D A N C E -1 -6 -1 -5 -1 -4 -1 -3 F O H Y Z J B B Example 2: In a certain code, TERMINAL is written as SDQLJOBM. How is CREDIBLI written in that code? (a) BQDCJCMF (b) BQDCHAKD (c) DSFEJCMF (d) DSFEHAKD Solution. (a) -1 T S -1 E D -1 R Q -1 M L +1 I J +1 N O +1 A B +1 L M On the basis of this rule CREDIBLE will be written as BQDCJCMF. Type 2 Coding with Numbers: The principle of coding with numbers is similar to that of coding with letters except the use of digits. Example 3: If in a certain language, E is coded as 2, H is coded as 1, N is coded as 7, P is codec as 5, A is coded as 0, T is coded as 8 and L is coded as 3, how is ELEPHANT coded in that language ? (a) 23251078 (b) 32210587 (c) 23527801 (d) 22315078 Solution. (a) E = 2, L = 3, E = 2, P = 5, H = 1, A = 0, N = 7, T = 8 Hence, only (a) is valid.

How is 1300626 coded in that language ? (a) OLCGELE (b) EGEOLEL (c) COLLGEE (d) COLLEGE Solution. (d) 1 = C, 3 = 0, 0 = L 0 = L, 6 = E, 2 = G, 6 = E Hence, only (d) is valid. Type 3 Mixed coding (Alphabets + Digits): In such questions, both letters and numbers are assigned as code The candidates are required to identify the analogy given in the questions.

  • A Number of Decisions Made by the Rajiv Gandhi Government
    Back to the Future: The Congress Party’s Upset Victory in India’s 14th General Elections Introduction The outcome of India’s 14th General Elections, held in four phases between April 20 and May 10, 2004, was a big surprise to most election-watchers. The incumbent center-right National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had been expected to win comfortably--with some even speculating that the BJP could win a majority of the seats in parliament on its own. Instead, the NDA was soundly defeated by a center-left alliance led by the Indian National Congress or Congress Party. The Congress Party, which dominated Indian politics until the 1990s, had been written off by most observers but edged out the BJP to become the largest party in parliament for the first time since 1996.1 The result was not a complete surprise as opinion polls did show the tide turning against the NDA. While early polls forecast a landslide victory for the NDA, later ones suggested a narrow victory, and by the end, most exit polls predicted a “hung” parliament with both sides jockeying for support. As it turned out, the Congress-led alliance, which did not have a formal name, won 217 seats to the NDA’s 185, with the Congress itself winning 145 seats to the BJP’s 138. Although neither alliance won a majority in the 543-seat lower house of parliament (Lok Sabha) the Congress-led alliance was preferred by most of the remaining parties, especially the four-party communist-led Left Front, which won enough seats to guarantee a Congress government.2 Table 1: Summary of Results of 2004 General Elections in India.

Since he had spent half of his life abroad, he had no direct access to the India of fifties, which he has portrayed. As a social realist, Seth mirrors different aspects of the society faithfully. His reflection of the society, its customs and conventions and contemporary events, with vivid details establishes him as a social realist. The political situation has been meticulously presented by Seth discussing about the Nehruvian world and the eminent political leaders of the nation of this period. A Suitable Boy functions as a political fable, showing the emerging polity of the newly independent India throwing light on various issues of communal disharmony narrating the real happening. Key Words: Transition, Conventions, Purdah System, Tandonite From here when we move to A Suitable Boy, we find that it is the story of a society in transition, of a country marching forward searching for new ways and means of stability.

  • Civics National Civilian Awards
    National Civilian Awards Bharat Ratna Bharat Ratna (Jewel of India) is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India. Instituted on 2 January 1954, the award is conferred "in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order", without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex. The award was originally limited to achievements in the arts, literature, science and public services but the government expanded the criteria to include "any field of human endeavour" in December 2011. Recommendations for the Bharat Ratna are made by the Prime Minister to the President, with a maximum of three nominees being awarded per year. Recipients receive a Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a peepal-leaf–shaped medallion. There is no monetary grant associated with the award. The first recipients of the Bharat Ratna were politician C. Rajagopalachari, scientist C. V. Raman and philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who were honoured in 1954. Since then, the award has been bestowed on 45 individuals including 12 who were awarded posthumously. In 1966, former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri became the first individual to be honoured posthumously. In 2013, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, aged 40, became the youngest recipient of the award. Though usually conferred on Indian citizens, the Bharat Ratna has been awarded to one naturalised citizen, Mother Teresa in 1980, and to two non-Indians, Pakistan national Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan in 1987 and former South African President Nelson Mandela in 1990. Most recently, Indian government has announced the award to freedom fighter Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously) and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 24 December 2014.

  • ACHARYA NARENDRA DEVA a Biographical Sketch
    ACHARYA NARENDRA DEVA A Biographical Sketch The second half of the 19th century produced many a great leader in India who fought for her freedom. Narendra Deva was one among them. His ancestors were Khatris of Kochhar sub-caste. They had migrated to the United Provinces (present Uttar Pradesh) from Sialkot (now in Pakistan). Narendra Deva's grandfather, Kunja Mull, had set up a utensils shop at Faizabad. He was prosperous and was able to send his son, Baldeva Prasad, for higher studies. The latter studied at Bareillv College and passed the Entrance examination of Calcutta University in the second division in 1874. Four years later he set up his legal p.«ctice at Sitapur. He was not only a lawyer, but also a writer of textbooks for children in English, Hindi and Persian. After the death of his father in 1891, he shifted to Faizabad to manage family affairs. Narendra Deva—originally named Avinashi Lai — was born at Sitapur on 31 October 1889. He was the second son of Baldeva Prasad and Jawahar Devi. He had three brothers and two sisters. Owing to his father, early influences on young Narendra Deva were of his own Hindu religion and culture. As a boy, he could recite Sandhya, Rudri and the Gita. He was instructed by a Maharashtrian Brahman in the Vedas. He also became familiar with 1 uisidas's Ramacharitmanasa, the Mahabharata in Hindi, Sur Sogar, Laghu-Siddhanta-Kaunntdi and Amarkosh. Early in life, Narendra Deva came in touch with Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, a man of spotless personal character, a silver-tongued orator and the founder of Banaras Hindu University, whom Narendra Deva's father had met at Allahabad on the occasion of the Congress session in December 1888.

  • HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD in the Epic Period, the Region Covered By
    HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD In the epic period, the region covered by the present district of Gorakhpur, known as Karapatha, which formed part of the kingdom of Kosala, an important centre of Aryan culture and civilization. The renowned ascetic Gorakh Nath gave name and fame to this district by practicing austerities on the spot where the famous temple named after him stands. It appears that the earliest known monarch ruling over this region with his capital at Ayodhya, was Iksvaku, who founded the solar dynasty of Ksatriyas. It produced a number of illustrious kings till the accession of Ram, who was the greatest ruler of this dynasty. Ram had divided the kingdom, during his lifetime, into small principalities. He coronated his eldest son Kusa as the king of Kusavati present Kushinagar which lay in the Gorakhpur district till 1946. After Ram's renunciation of the world Kusa left Kusawati (Kushinagar) and repaired to Ayodhya. His cousin, Chandraketu, son of Lakshmana, even the epithet of malla (valiant) in the Ramayan, thereupon took possession of this region. The Mahabharata mentions that at the Rajasuya (imperial) sacrifice performed by Yudhisthira, a behest to conquer the east was given to Bhimasena who in turn subjugated the principality of Gopalak (identified with Gopalpur of Bansgaon tahsil). Close to Gopalpur at Bhimtola, Bhimasena is said to have reposed after his victory. The discovery of a series of enormous mounds at Gopalpur and around it suggests that the places has been old sites of extensive cities. A few development in the political history of the district during the post- Mahabharata period is the functioning of a number of republics under the sovereignty of the kingdom of Kosala.
