Pattern = 5 * 8 =40 1…..A question will be givem with six characters like AAABBB 16 MEANS YOU HAVE TO INTERCHANGE Ist character with VI th one and then change the charactert adjacent to it.

16 => AAABBB
BAABBA BBABAA
25=> AAABBB ABABAB BBBAAA 34 => AAABBB AABABB ABBAAB
8 QUESTIONSA MODEL(I. apply 25 &34 successively)(II. Apply 34 & 16 successively)(III. Apply 16 &16 successively)(IV. Apply 25&25 successively) etc…….Another question …I. BAABBA CAME FROM APPLICATION OF Choice 1. 34 & 25 succesively.Choice 2. 25 & 25 succesively.Choice 3. 34 & 34 succesively.Choice 4. 34 & 25 succesively.
Answers and hints1. If two conditions are being applied simultaneously the you will get same answer.e.g….suppose AAABBB…Apply 34& 34 then the result will be AAABBB
2. F(n,a,b,c) = AC if n=1 F(n,A,B,C) = F(n-1,A,C,B)+ F(1,A,B,C) + F(n-1,B,A,C) This is the question.i. find F(2,B,A,C) = F( 1,b,c,a)+ F(1,b,a,c)+F(1,a,b,c) =ba+bc+acii. Find F(2,C,A,B) = F( 1, c,b, a)+ F(1, c,a,b)+F(1,a,c,b) =ca+cb+ab(one imp. Point ca not = bc); (ca+cb+ab) is not = (ab+cb+ca)iii. F(4,a,b,c) = ?= F(3,a,c,b) +F(1,a,b,c) +F(3,b,a,c) F(3,a,c,b) = F(2,a,b,c) + F(1,a,c,b) +F(2,c,a,b) F(2,a,b,c) = F(1,a,c,b) +F(1,a,b,c) +F(1,b,a,c) So ab+Ac+bc = 3.f(2,a,b,c) =3 ;f (3,a,b,c) = 3+1+3 = 7, f(4,a,bc,)= 7+1+7=15
Like this find f(5,a,b,c)= ?=( ans =31 pl. check)Like this find f(3,a,b,c) =?
Q.3……
N= no of poles R= No of flags If N=5 and R=4What are the possible ways the flag can be tag to the poll. 1st pole = 2,3,4Ans=> 5*5*5*5 = 5to the power 4 = 625 Most probably choice (D)
If N=3 and R=3 and if the flag are identical what rae the diff. Ways flags can be tagged .
Ans+10 ( Please cross check) If N=3 and R=3 and if flags and poles are identical Ans => 3
If N=4 and R=3 and if both flag and poles are identical
Ans=> 3
If N= 5 and R=5 Two flags tied in the first pole one flag tied in the third pole what are the ways that the remaining flags can be tied. Ans => 3*3*3

1. These questions involve interchange of letters in a word at particular locations and also interchanging letters adjacent to those particular locations.Certain other conditions may also be givenFor eg.Let the word be ABBAABAIf we apply 25 on this, it means we have to interchange the letters at positions 2 and 5, also we have to change the letters adjacent to positions 2 and 5 i.e.from A to B and B to A. A B B A A B after Step 1 i.e interchange of 2 and 5 becomes AABABBNow change adjacent elements of 2 and 5...finally answer becomesAns: B A A B B A

here were different papers for different sessions.The paper had 5 sections, 5 * 8 = 40 Q's. totally.
Section 1 : Functions.
Q: 1 - 8
Certain functions were given & based upon therules & the choices had to be made based on recursion.This is time consuming, but u can do it.Try to do it at the end. start from the last section.
L(x) is a function defined. functions can be defined asL(x)=(a,b,ab) or (a,b,(a,b),(a,(b,b)),a,(b,b)).... two functions were given A(x) & B(x) likeif l(x)=(a,b,c) then A(x)=(a) & B(x)=(b,c)i.e., A(x) contains the first element of the function only. & B(x) contains the remaining, except the first element.then the other two functions were defined as C(x) = * if L(x) = () A(x) if L(x) = () & B(x) != () C(B(x)) otherwise D(x) = * if L(x) = () ** if B(x) = () A(x) if L(x) != () & B(x) != () D(D(x)) otherwise
now the Questions are,
1 : if L(x) = (a,b,(a,b)) then C(x) is ? (a): a (b): b (c): c (d): none2 : if L(x) = (a,b,(a,b)) then find D(x) same options as above3 : if L(x) = (a,b,(a,b),(b,(b))) find C(x)4 : -----------~~~~~~~~---------- find D(x)5 : if L(x) = (a,(a,b),(a,b,(a,(b))),b) then find c(x)6 : -----------~~~~~~~~---------- find D(x)7 : if L(x) = (a,b,(a,b)) then find C(D(x))8 : -----------~~~~~~~~---------- find D(C(x))
Section 2 : Word seriesQ's : 9 - 16
This is one of the easiest section. Try to do it at first.if S is a string then p,q,r form the substrings of S.for eg, if S=aaababc & p=aa q=ab r=bc then on applying p->q on S is that ababaabconly the first occurance of S has to be substituted. if there is no substring of p,q,r on s then it should not be substituted.
If S=aabbcc, R=ab, Q=bc. Now we define an operator R Q when operated on S, R is replaced by Q, provided Q is a subset of S, otherwise R will be unchanged. Given a set S= ………., when R Q, P== 672; R, Q P operated successively on S, what will be new S? There will be 4 =
: if s=aaababc & p= aa q=ab r=bc then applying p->q, q->r & r->p will give, (a): aaababc (b): abaabbc (c): abcbaac (d): none of the a,b,c10: if s=aaababc & p= aa q=ab r=bc then applying q->r & r->p will give,11: if s=abababc & p= aa q=ab r=bc then applying p->q, q->r & r->p will give,12: if s=abababc & p= aa q=ab r=bc then applying q->r & r->p will give,13: if s=aabc & p=aa q=ab r=ac then applying p->q(2) q->r(2) r->p will give, (2) means applying the same thing twice.14: similiar type of prob.15: if s=abbabc p=ab q=bb r=bc then to get s=abbabc which one should be applied. (a): p->q,q->r,r->p16: if s=abbabc p=ab q=bb r=bc then to get s=bbbcbabc which one should be applied.Let us consider a set of strings such as S=aabcab. We now consider two more sets P and Q which also contain strings. An operation P->Q is defined in such a manner that if P is a subset of S, then P is to be replaced by Q. In the following questions, you are given various sets of strings on which you have to perform certain operations as defined above. Choose the correct alternative as your answer.
(the below are some ques from old ques papers)
21. Let S=abcabc, P=bc, Q=bb and R=ba. Then P->Q, Q->R, R->P changes S to (A) ............ (B) abcabc (C) ............ (D) none of A,B,C 22. Let S=aabbcc, P=ab, Q=bc and R=cc. Then P->Q, Q->R, R->P changes S to (A) ababab (B) ............ (C) ............ (D) none of A,B,C 23. Let S=bcacbc, P=ac, Q=ca and R=ba. Then P->Q, Q->R, P->R changes S to (A) ............ (B) ............ (C) bcbabc (D) none of A,B,C 24. Let S=caabcb, P=aa, Q=ca and R=bcb. Then P->Q, P->R, R->Q changes S to (A) ............ (B) ............ (C) ............ (D) none of A,B,C

Section 3 : numerical seriesQ's : 17 - 24
This is little bit tough. proper guesses should be made.find these probs in r.s.aggarval's verbal & non verbal reasoning.
17: 2,20,80,100, ?? (a): 121, (b): 116 (c): (d):none18: 10,16,2146,2218, ??
like these other series were given.

Section 4 : figures

all probems are very easy.(see cts_old\cts13 file)some are mirror images, some r rotated clockwise/anti
Section 5 : Verbalif u have a very good vocab. then this section is managable.two words together forming a compound words were given.the q's contained the second part of the compound word.the first word of the compuond word had to be guessed.then its meaning had to be matched with the choices.
if the word is "body"then its meaning of its first part is..its really tough to guess..the words were however very simplesome words which i can remember are, head, god, (see old papers) likeblock headmain streamstar dustEg: OLD PAPERS(1) -(head)- (a) purpose (b) man (c)obstacle(d)(ans:c for blockhead) >(2) (dust)- (a) container(b)celestial body(c)groom(d)(ans: c for star dust) >(3) (stream )-(a) mountain (b) straight (c) (d)(ans:a) >(4) (crash)- (a) course (b) stock3 anagram >first find the anagram of the given word & then >choose the meaning of the anagram from the options. >1. latter ->rattle 2..spread 3.risque4.dangled(ansjogged)…

The 10 questions thatfollowed showed patterns which were formed due tocombination of the 7basic figs. NOTE: the intersectingpart of the combined fig. always gets subtracted fromthe total combination
Hello ShiveshCTS paper was of diff pattern this time and there wereateast 5 different sets of question papers given tostudents. Of the type i recvd, as i told there wer10x4 questions for 60 mins.section:
4) last section( thats bcoz i remeber it well) had meaningful words whose anagrams are nouns andwe hav to choose the best adjective from the list todescribe this noun:ex: shore ( word given)choices: a) roman b) spanish c) trojan d)....
ans: c) trojanshore is anagram(jumbled form of) 'horse' andtrojan-horse is the best match
3) there were a couple of ( seven to beprecise)figures ( tetris type if u remember that game)given in the main theme. The 10 questions thatfollowed showed patterns which were formed due tocombination of the 7basic figs. NOTE: the intersectingpart of the combined fig. always gets subtracted fromthe total combination
2) This section had the funda of xOy where x and yrepresented strings of Gs . The test was to find thevalid or invalid patterns with ref. to the rules
1) L=list of objectsex:L={a,b,c,d} where a,b,c,d are objects P(L) was a function( dont remembr xatly)M(L) was another function defined etcin the following questions P(x) etc were given to befound out.Note : this may take considerable amnt of time. sotake intelligent guesses
