Answers for CEED 2014 PART-A 


Q.1) 14
Below picture shows the count


Q.2) 79
The following four figures illustrates in which I have inscribed boxes for your easy understanding. Note that in the first two pictures, I showed squares obtained in different orientations, for 1/4th of the square. So, we have to take four times of the count that we get from the first two images.



No. of squares in Image (a) = 4+1+1+1 = 7
No. of squares considering four such squares in the actual image = 7*4 = 28

No. of squares in Image (b) = 1+1+4+4 = 10
No. of squares considering four such squares in the actual image = 10*4 = 40

Third and fourth image considers the whole pattern given in the question, so we don't have to multiply by 4.



No. of squares in Image (c) = 1+1+1+1+1+1 = 6

No. of squares in Image (d) = 1+1+1+1= 4

Now, the whole image itself forms a square
So, total no. of squares = 28+40+6+4+1 = 79

Q.3) 13
Below picture shows the situation. Say the person started at S. Then following the directions given in the question, the person will follow the path given by S-A-B-C-D-E-F, where F is the final destination. As can be clearly seen, the person is actually along the same line of start. Now the straight line distance is given by 3+2+8 = 13 km

Q.4) 8
I've highlighted the mistakes for your benefit

Q.5) 22
Considering the left most solid image as in the front. I'm giving the surface count like I do usually.
Front - 6
Right side - 3
Back side -4
Left side - 3
Top - 4
Bottom - 2
You can check on how to count the surfaces in this post 

Q.6) 14
PC is the diagonal of a rectangle of size 2X4X4. For those who are not familiar on how to find the diagonal of the solid. Here is a easy way which needs just the Pythagoras theorem. Consider the rectangular box base surface denoted by A'B'C'D'. Noe, a line joining P and C', will be diagonal (hypotenuse) to PB' and B'C'. Applying Pythagoras theorem, you get square root (20) as shown in the below image. Now PC is the diagonal (hypotenuse) of sides PC' and CC'. This is shown in in image. The length of which will be 6.

Similarly considering the pyramid ARDS, we want RS. which is the diagonal (hypotenuse) of the sides TR and TS. So, RS = square root (TR square + TS square)
RS = 5
Now, the length of the ant travel will be L = PC+CQ+QR+RS = 6+2+1+5 = 14

Q.7) 30
Below picture (a) part shows what the question mea. They basically want to cut a tunnel at the center on all faces. Sorry for my poor illustration in the (a) image. Anyway image (b) gives you an idea of how it look once it is cut. Now the number of faces are counted as usual.


No. of surfaces from
Front - 1 (front)+ 4 (inside as shown in below fig.) = 5
Right = 5
Back = 5
left = 5
Top = 5
Bottom = 5

It should be noted that since the object is symmetry, same no. of surfaces can be counted , i.e no. of surfaces = 5*6 = 30

Below image shows the cross section (cut view at X-X) of inside part of the cube for your understanding as well as help you with the visualization. Please don't get confused by counting for the surfaces in the image C. Remember it's a cut section, not an actual section. In cut section you would visualize more no. of surfaces than the actual no. of surfaces in the real solid.

You can check here on how to count the no. of surfaces - how to count the surfaces in this post 

Q.8) 15.588

There are several ways of solving this problem. Here is one simple way.
As shown in the above image, inscribe a triangle such that one corner of the triangle is at the center (denoted by 'A' in the image) and the other two corners touching the circle and touching the corners of the pattern where the flower like pattern is touching the circle (at B and C). Now the required area is six times the area (since there are six such flower petal shaped patterns) of this equilateral triangle of side = radius (6)  . So,
Area = area of equilateral triangle  = (square root(3) /4) X (square of side) = sqrt(3)/4*s^2
where s = 6
So, area = (1.732/4)*6*6 = 1.732*9 = 15.588

Below picture is added as a support for why triangles are enough to find the area. Shaded in yellow and green are the projections to be added and subtracted. They are of same area. So, if yellow area is getting added, then green (of same area is getting subtracted). The same is true for all the curves in the pattern. So, just a triangle of side = radius (which will form equilateral triangle of angle 60 degree at the center) will be sufficient to get the area. Hope you understood this.

Q.9) 42
Dimensions of A4 sheet is 21.0 X 29.7 cm
If we have to exclude one centimeter margin, then we are left with (21-1-1) X (29.7 -1-1) cm
= 19 X 27.7cm
Below image shows the best arrangement as according to me.

As can be seen, in the first row, lay four passport photos such that it's size are 3X4cm as shown in the picture below. So, in the first row we can put 4 no. of photos. Now in the remaining 3cm (4*4 = 16cm) out of 19cm, we can lay a photo such that it is now 4X3 cm as shown in the right of the image below.
The rows of 3X4 passport images, will contour till 9 rows which covers 3*9 = 27cm of the height of the page, leaving behind 0.7 cm unoccupied. But the passport aligned as 4X3 can only cover 4*6 = 24cm in the right column. leaving behind 27.7-24 = 3.7cm unoccupied. So,

Total no. of photos occupying the sheet = 9*(4 rows of 3X4) + 6 (rows of 4X3 arrangement) = 9*4+6 = 42

Q.10) 39

There is a bit confusion with this question. The actual possibility could be that we can fit 44 fishes in the given box. It's shown in the below image. The dimension 5.5 cm is misguiding. If its really 5.5cm till the fishes tail, then I believe in the second row, we can fit 4 fishes. With that shown, in the first row, we can fit 4 fishes in a depth of 3cm. Now, in the second row, a depth of 1.5cm is sufficient to fit them as shown in the image. continue this for every depth of 1.5, until the total depth counts to 18.5cm, which will be 11 rows, so my belief is 44 no. of fishes.

But based on the official answer key, it was considered 39, which mean in the second row, drawn in green in the below image, they have considered only three fishes. By counting in such way, they got 6 rows of 4 fishes and 5 rows of 3 fishes = 6*4 + 5*3 = 39

You may comment your views about the correct one. If you have time, you can draw it manually and check.

PART A: Section III MCQ

Q.21) C
First, let me discuss about the pattern followed by the white dot in the given sequence of images. Below image shows the pattern that I interpreted.


As marked in the image, length b and d are equal and are oriented in the same angle. C is the connecting length and so, lengths 'a' and 'e' should be equal. So, the small circle in the final pattern should be at the left bottom quarter of the circle as shown in the image.

Regarding the color, In the first two circles, color blue part of circles (bottom) are side by side. So, in the last pattern also, the color blue should be side to the color in the last image sequence (shown in the 5th circle) which will be at bottom left corner of the required circle. Option 'C' has that pattern. You may also check the same kind of pattern for other colors too (yellow, orange, red)

For more such question, refer to mechanical and mental ability question in Resource page - useful links in this resource page

Q.22) C

Q.23) D

This question is pretty straight forward. Symbols in the image that are individual are flipped upside down (mirror image) and is placed at the opposite side. Like for ex, the symbol with circle and triangle stitched together, which is in bottom of the square is shifted to top in the transformed image and is flipped. Symbols that are horizontal and is side by side with another symbol is following diff. pattern transformation which is not required for our case. Since, the required question has all objects vertically separated. Please be careful with the option C and D. In option C, the dark heptagon shape is not flipped.

Q.26) A

The phenakisticope was the first widespread animation device that created a fluent illusion of motion. Below images shows several images depicting phenakisticope.





A zoetrope is one of several pre-film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion. Below image shows an example.

A Thaumatrope is an optical toy that was popular in the 19th century. A disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one due to the persistence of vision.  Below image shows an example.

The praxinoscope was an animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. It used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder.

Q.28) D
For perspective related questions, the best way to check for is to
a. Find if the three lines under third perspective is meeting at the same point or not
b. Find if the two horizontal vanishing points lie on the same horizontal line; referred as "Horizon line".


The first check itself gave me negative result as seen in the below image. Points are not coinciding. So it's not in perspective. If it were coinciding, then we could say it's in 3-point perspective.

Q.29) A
This is a simple physics question. Higher density liquids will settle down, while the lower density liquid will be on top of that; if both the liquids are not mixing. In the given first flask, oil is ontop of water and is separated. So, water weight (density) is more.Now, when additional water from flask 2 is poured into flask 1, all the water will get settled down coz of their weight and the lighter oil willbe pushed up. Since, the flask shape is changing(tapered) and had less diameter at top, so the oil will occupy greater height than in the actual bottom position.

Since the height of the table is half of the human view point, the bottom two table legs will not be visible to that extent. Also, since we are standing in front of the table, we observe the case of one point perspective with vanishing lines converging at the center. In option C, table top is flat and so it's not in proper perspective. Option D, table top is not in proper perspective as the vanishing lines are extending out and is not converging at a point. As stated, the legs should be less visible and so, Option B should be correct.

Star symbol at the bottom right corner is at the same location. So, we assume it remains in the same position. The inverted triangle at the center is also at the same position. So, we have to mind the three symbols left. By observing the pattern, we can say that all the three symbols rotate in clockwise direction along the triangle shown in the image in every step/pattern. Following the clockwise pattern, we will get option B as the required pattern.

Picture composition - narrating a story based on an incident in an image


Usually in CEED or any other design exam for that matter, has the following type of question : Given an illustration of a incident/situation, narrate a story based on your creative imagination in not more than 200/300 words. 

Well, although this is purely based on your observation of the given scenario and derivation of useful links for the story, we can follow some rules/principles that might help us find way to you a creative and meaningful story. These points are already discussed by me in my earlier post - Frame a story by seeing an image - composed by our friend Aditi, I'm listing them again here for your reference. 

  1. Understand the question and know about the situation, ex. for the below picture, (story of which i'm writing down at the end), it was stated that "The illustration is an artistic impression of an incident in a club house". So, we NEED to flag these keywords - 'club house' and 'incident' inorder to start the story. The whole story should (most of the times) roam around the incident i.e. activity in the club house. This is very important! Spend time observing the given situation/sketch without jumping straight to write the story - Have a clear vision of what has to be written by framing the story Take time !
  2. Observe most of the individuals/character of the situation 
  3. Observe their activities - what they are doing
  4. Most importantly note/mind the "mood" of the character (if it is clear in the image) - it's very important in story framing ! 
  5. Mind the age and gender of the characters !
  6. Look for surrounding things - like TV, books, background (if its sceneray) etc. Background might be a closed room, might be a beach (ex. image shown in above post by Aditi), a school, a farm land etc. what not ? anything!   
  7. Try to derive a meaningful relation among the individual characters, and try to speak about most of the characters/things etc in your story 


There are two methods (I guess - might be more) of narrating any incident

  • By assuming one of the characters in the incident as yourself, and narrating accordingly
  • By assuming that you are not involved and you are seeing the incident, just like watching a TV and telling what is happening there.


Most of the times, in CEED exams, second method is applicable, I mean we just need to narrate the incident wihtout being involved (unless specifically mentioned)

Below is an example story that I wrote for one of the previous paper question - CEED 2014, Part B, question 2


Question :

The illustration above is an artist’s impression of an incident in a club house. 

Narrate the incident in your own words, based on your creative imagination. 

Limit your description to less than 250 words. 

Evaluation Criteria: 
Originality of the narrative 
Imagination and Ideation 
Story telling ability

Note: I remember, when I gave exam in 2013, they gave space (with ruled lines) for writing the story, which in actual is less for 250 words. I mean space is very less to elaborate the story. Keeping this in mind, I try to write a short story. Hope, that's ok for you.

My Story for the above situation

It's already 4.40pm in the evening and the so called meeting-head, who has to be there for the club meeting 'xyz colony welfare' is yet to arrive. Scheduled time was 4.00pm and so most of them, who arraived in time, are almost loosing their patience. Children started their naughty activites as usual. One of the colony resident 'Ramu' got totally impatient and inspite of his mothers attempts of pacifying him, he walked away form the club in order to go out and do some other activity, thinking that the meeting is not going to happen that day. 

His mother was trying to stop him with her level best, since the meeting is basically about conducting a counselling sessions for the teens in the colony and so she was interested in having his son present during the meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Shah, whom just came inside the club was wondering about the mess in the room. They stood watching Ramu and his Mom, whispering between them that they did right thing of being late. 

Soumya and her neighbour were trying to get hold of their kids and make them sit in the common waiting hall, children of whom were running here and their; playing with one another. Shyam Lal, who opened a temporary setup for selling eatables and drinks was having good time selling things for the desperately waiting club members because of being late. Meanwhile, Ajit and his wife were busy watching live cricket in television, and Meera aunt although not interested in watching, but in order to avoid getting into boredom state, also started watching TV. Assitant of the meeting head, Premji uncle is still confused on what topics to discuss during the meeting and so was putting all his intelligence to make the proceedings in order.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is of course a simple story that I made quickly since it's already 2am ;) But, I guess you must have got some idea on how to deal with story writing questions. You can also refer to Aditi post - Frame a story by seeing an image for another example or you can share your own attempt of story composition writing in the blog specifically meant for design questions sharing for everyone's benefit.

Have a nice week with your story writings :)

'Frame a story by seeing a picture' example

You are here Resources >> Picture and Image composition



Fortunately, one of our friend Aditi Chansoria, read through all the comments in our Everyday design practice post - regarding the need and help required with story framing from image kind of questions (also called picture/image composition). She took the below practice question as an example, did the writing and shared with me. Thank you Aditi for caring about others.

Question :


Check the below messy picture and write a story related to the situation depicted in not less than 200 words.


Image courtesy - kidacne.com

The composition as shared by Aditi 


It was a beautiful day. The sun seemed a little brighter, as the tourists were excited about the big ‘sunburn’ concert that was to be held on the beach later that night. The waves were high and so were the spirits.

The DJ console was set up at the centre of the shopping arena. As usual, Raj was supposed to be the jokey. ’Tonight’s gonna be a good night’, yes, everybody agreed. Few enjoyed the song while taking a sun bath, few stood up to dance, few were still busy with their shopping while some were interested para-sailing. Others who weren't doing any of the above, the waves invited them with open hands.It was obvious that everybody enjoyed in a way that pleased them, until a volleyball came and hit Raj on the head.

”Where did that come from?”

The DJ pointed to the direction.
Raj saw that a few people who initially belonged to the beach, had submitted themselves to the game. They made two teams and arranged for a ball. It was just a practice shot that went too far.

“Hey, there is a match going on”

For a second, everyone turned their heads and looked at the direction the DJ had pointed.
Suddenly, a few amongst  them had become the audience. Few supported the team with red bands while the others cheered for the other team. Everyone, the  man with the tube on him, the para-saile, the girls who were at ‘The grills’, even the children with  balloons started enjoying the match. It seemed like everyone was united now.

The match ended after three hours. The red-banded team had won. Everyone cheered for both the teams and now the players, no matter what their names were, were given a different name that the audience gave them-‘chottay,motu,tiger-and now they will be remembered by these names by a lot of people for a lot of time.

Its sometimes interesting to realize how simple things like a volleyball game unites people, and how these people, without knowing anything about the other, become one when they see a mutual cause. Everyone thought the players were the stars, while from where I see, The Beach was the star.

Hope you now got some idea on how to compose a story from the given picture with the above example shared by Aditi.

Bhanu's hints and tips for attempting similar questions :

  • Spend time observing the given situation/sketch without jumping straight to write the story - Have a clear vision of what has to be written by framing the story
  • Take time !
  • Observe most of the individuals/character of the situation 
  • Observe their activities - what they are doing
  • Most importantly note/mind the "mood" of the character - it's very important in story framing ! 
  • Mind the age and gender of the characters !
  • Look for surrounding things - like TV, books etc

Do a return favor of thanking Aditi below (by way of a comment) to appreciate her for sharing the story with us.

Depth of field (DOF) can be described in two ways. Shallow and Deep DOF. Shallow is when the included focus range is very narrow. Deep is when the included range is large. f-stops work a inverse values, such that a small f/number (say f/2.8) corresponds to a larger or wider aperture value, which results in a shallow depth of field. A large f/number (say f/16) results in a smaller or narrower aperture size and therefore a deeper depth of field.

The following two pictures will clear the concept.

The first picture (left one) of the question depicts that the right leg of the image (the leg that is in front to us) is in front and straight position, likewise the left leg (that is on the other side of the person) is straight and is back. So, the person is about to take a step with his right leg. Also note the position of hands. The second image is quite opposite to the first image. Now the middle picture should be in transition between the two posters (legs and hands). The right leg should be in bent position and in fact it should be in middle, touching the ground and the left leg should be in air (he just took step) and probably in bent position. So, position in B option suits.
