12) count the number of squares in the given figure (source: UCEED 2015 paper)


ans) 37

Check the below images for better understanding, note the blue shapes fitted to indicate the square counted.
Handle these type of questions as follows:
  1. First count the big squares, write it down for sure, 
  2. then count next lesser sized squares, write it down, and so on. 
  3. Don't stick to principles like 'Symmetry', even in symmetry images, there might be squares (or any required shape) derived from the two symmetry.



Squares -> 1 (in the center) + 1x(2 - for both sides) = 3


Squares -> 9 x (2 - for both sides) = 18

Squares -> 8 x (2 - for both sides) = 16

Total squares -> 3+18+16 = 37

13) The given figure is made of letters L,T,H,I,E and F, set in different orientations. Find the total number of

A. 125
B. 250
C. 500
D. 2,500

If 100 units are produced every minute, then 100 units x 60 minutes = 6,000 units are produced every hour. 6,000 units per hour / 24 units per case = 250 cases per hour. The correct answer is B.

The amount of tea that can be kept within each pot is determined by the height of the spout opening. The tea level cannot rise above the spout opening since any extra tea would merely spill out from the spout.  A simple visual estimate would conclude that the spout of teapot B is approximately half the height of that of teapot A, therefore providing only half of the capacity, or 16 ounces.

As you can seen, I have included a good number of UCEED 2015 questions, just to remind you the similarities in the pattern of both the exams, in fact I guess the level for UCEED Part A is some steps ahead to the level of CEED! So, those preparing for CEED are recommended to practice UCEED previous papers (as well as the mock tests that I dealt in this blog) to strengthen your practice and mathematical as well as design abilities. I knowingly neglected asking questions related to culture and other GA related, hoping that you are aware of them, or you can find them in previous mock tests.

Hope this helps, All the best ........

  2. Query: In Archimedes Screw, shaft with blades should rotate anti clockwise to raise water? Isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It depends on the direction of your view, if u r observing from the left side, then it should rotate in counter clokwise, if u r view is from right side, then shaft should rotate in clockwise, i considered the later part. But idea should be clear, the shaft should turn such that the blades moves in the direction i nwhich water should go, i nthis case, it's upwards (or right to left of the shown inclined screw). Hope u got that.

    2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes%27_screw#/media/File:Archimedes-screw_one-screw-threads_with-ball_3D-view_animated_small.gif

      to raise water, the movement shows anti clock wise. for lifting water (down to up). be it observing from left or right side, will it still not be anti clock to raise water?

    3. Actually the view does matter... however in this question the view of the opening is from the top.. ideally we should not be able to see from the bottom in the diagram..hence, it should be anti-clockwise

      Delete
    4. the view is from the top so it should be anti-clockwise

  3. Hi Bhanu Bhaiya, bhaiya i probably noticed a error in the 7 questain on this page it says the ANS. is "C", but i think it is suppose to be "D" ie "arundhati roy". Please check once .

  7. Please check question number 22. Option (d) seems to be the most logical to me from the given choices.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Perfectly! you are right, option D is the answer, I have corrected in the post. Thanks ...

  8. sir, for many questions there are more than one correct answers. so if i marked any one of the correct answer, will i get positive mark for that question?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No!
      for this part, total marks for each question is 2, and one can get 2 marks only if he answers all choices correct, if any one is wrong or no complete choices made, then he will not get any marks, not even negative marking. PL check the instruction given in the top of the CEED 2015 question paper for more instructions and clarifications.

  10. Thanks for the mock test! But I am not able to understand question 22. How can the fourth image come directly after the one posted? The dark leg should touch the ground immediately after, but (b) seems illogical as well :/

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Actually, there's a transaction image missing between the given position and the first option, that's why all these confusion. When Deori pointed that the option was not matching, I noted that one sketch was missing, so with all the available best option, choice 'd' matches best. Doesn't matter if most of you have done wrong choice for this ques, but importantly, chk if u have learnt how to figure out the correct series. You may try going through similar ques n solve. You can find this kind of ques with explanation in blog resource page.

  11. sir, i am having problem with questions like Q12...i had tried alot but cant count correctly the no. or squares or in some ques. triangle etc in such complex figures....what to do??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. first of all glad 2 see ur involvement n ur responses n answers in all the tests! gud job. Ya, may be thta is bit complex geo that's y u r facing difficulty. What u can do is start with small geo images n do this kind of exercises. It's all about observing and finding the diff sizes/numbers of the required shape. After solving for some small sized geo questions, try this question again.

    1. That's perfectly fine, Good that you are positive and are ready with long term plans too considering alternatives. There are few people, who doesn't like flexibility - this will be fine for those whom are ready to wait for some time (in worst case) and whom can come across or tolerate their frustration - if any. It's really good to be flexible as per my experience and knowledge. I prefer being so!
