Bullet-proof helmets featured

Just months after deciding that the Army soldiers will get bullet-proof jackets, the Indian Army is all set to provide its infantry soldiers with bullet-proof helmets too. This basic protection gear will be upgraded after decades of neglect.

A contract for more than 1.58 lakh light-weight ballistic helmets, worth around ₹170 crore, is on the table now. If the contract is indeed inked, it will be the second such deal to ensure better personal protection for infantry soldiers after bullet-proof jackets.

Earlier, the Army had inked ₹140 crore contract for “emergency” procurement of 50,000 new bullet-proof jackets from Tata Advanced Materials Limited after a delay of over a decade.

About the new bullet-proof helmets:

  1. A Kanpur-based Indian company, MKU Industries, has been given the contract to manufacture within a span of three years. MKU is an exporter of bulletproof jackets and helmets all over the world.
  2. The helmets come with 13mm trauma protection pads.
  3. The helmets for “commanders” will also be equipped with integrated communication headsets.
  4. These ballistic helmets can stop 9mm bullets from around 20 metres. It will also be possible to mount night-vision sights, protective goggles and other devices on them.
  5. The existing helmets are not only bulky weighing 2.5kg, but also provide protection from only splinters and rocks and only give limited protection to the top of heads and not the sides

  6. Indian jawans earlier used to get Israel made OR-201 helmet made of Glass Reinforced Plastic, but that was also only for Army’s elite para special forces.

5 Maths Tricks for AFCAT Exam

The AFCAT exam has been scheduled on 26th Feb and candidates have involved themselves completely into the examination preparations. The main part of the exam is to score more in less time. For that, certain tricks of maths can help the aspirants in solving the mathematical problems easily. Some basic tricks that will help the candidates in solving mathematical equations easily are given below.
1.    Multiplication Tricks – Multiplication by 11 is commonly seen in the AFCAT exam. To multiply any number by 11, write the first and last letter of the number to be multiplied by 11 and in between them, put the digit which is the sum of the two digits.
Example 1 – 23X11 = 2(2+3)3 = 253
Example 2 – 235X11 = 2(2+3) (3+5)5 = 2585

2.    Square of Multiples of 5 = Write 25 at the unit and tens place.
Take the number except the 5 at unit place
Multiply that number by its successor number.
Example 1 – 252 = (2X3)25= 625
Example 2 – 652 = (6X7)25 = 4225

3.    Percentage Tricks – For getting some percentage of any number, just fragment the percentage in a simple form.
Example 1 – 150% of 200.
Here, take it as 100% of 200 + 50% of 200 = 200 + 100 = 300
Example 2 – 210% of 150
200% of 150 + 10% of 150 = 300 + 15 = 315

4.    Finding Roots of Perfect Squares – For finding out the root of a number, you need to find two things.
Step 1 – The unit digit of the number matches with square of which number (1-9).
Step 2 – The numbers except unit and tens place comes in between the squares of which two numbers.
Example 1 – Root of 324
Sol. 4 comes in the unit place of the square of 22 = 4 and 82 = 64
So the root of 324 will either have 2 or 8 in its unit place
Leaving ones and tens digits of the 324, we get 3
3 comes between the squares of 12 = 1 and 22 = 4
As 1 is the smaller then 2, so 1 will be at the tens place of the square of the number.
So the number could be either 12 or 18. Now, 3 comes closer to 4 which is greater than 1, so the square root among 12 and 18 will be the greater one, i.e. 18.
Example 2 – root of 529
1 comes in the unit place of 32 = 3 and 72 = 49
So the unit digit of the root will be either 3 or 7
Now leaving the unit and tens digits, we get 5
5 comes as the square of 2 = 4 and 3 = 9
But 5 is closer to 4. So the tens place of the root will be 2
So the number could be either 23 or 27.
Now, 5 comes closer to 4 which is smaller than 9, so the square root among 23 and 27 will be the smaller one, i.e. 23

5.    Solving Quadratic Equations – Firstly remember the sign conventions.
+ + = – –
-+ = ++
+ – = – +
– – = + –
Let the equation be ax2+bx+c
Step 1 – Multiply the a with c.
Step 2 – Find the factors of the number obtained
Step 3 – Make such an arrangement of 2 numbers using factors of the obtained number that will give you b.
Step 4 – Divide the two numbers with a and apply the above signs as per the signs of the equation.
Example 1 – 6×2 + 11x+3
Multiply 6 and 3 = 18
Factors of 18 = 3,3,2 and we have to get 11 from these factors
9 + 2 = 11
So the roots will be 9/6 and 9/2 OR 3/2 and 9/2
Using the above sign conventions, we will get the signs of the roots i.e. -3/2 and -9/2
Example 2 – x2-9x+20
1X 20 = 20
Factors of 20 = 2,2,5
To get 9 we can arrange them as 4+5 = 9
So the roots will be 4/1 and 5/1
Using sign convention, we will get the signs of the roots. i.e. = + 4/1 and + 5/1

Conclusion – The above mathematical tricks will help the aspirants in solving some of the commonly asked questions in AFCAT and will help them in scoring more in the given time. Well, maths is all about the consistent practice, but using tricks rather than solving as per the concept, will take your scores above the cut-off. So aspirants, work hard and give your best in the examination.

Tips To Perform Well In English Paper in CDSE

CDSE 1 2017 is just a few weeks ahead and candidates are preparing hard to clear the examination. But the candidates must follow a strategy to compete in the examination. English is the scoring paper, which aspirants of all services face. So English can be a good part to score. But some candidates find it hard to attempt English paper. So, here we are with some tips to help the aspirants in scoring well in English.

Cloze Test – Cloze test accounts for about 15-20 marks in CDS English paper. It needs your good grammar knowledge to perform well in it. Apart from it you have to read the sentences carefully and opt the right options among the three given options. Another way to increase the performance in cloze test is to read the newspaper daily, which will give you the hint of usage of certain words in the sentences and will help you find the correct match in the sentence.

Sentence Rearrangement – Sentence rearrangement is the very simple as it can be easily solved by just reading the sentences carefully and sequencing them by following the rhythm of their meaning. Firstly, read the first and the last sentences and then read out the other sentences meaningfully by joining the meaning of the sentence to the next sentence.

Editing and Sentence Improvement – These are the most crucial and most difficult part of the CDS exam as most of the candidates lose their marks in this section. If you are not able to find out the mistake in the sentence, then read it out again by concentrating your mind. Here again grammar is a crucial thing to follow.

Passage – The best way to attempt passage in small time is to readout the passage first, get its meaning and then answering the questions. Finding question by matching certain words from the questions to the passage should be avoided. The correct answer is found by getting the meaning of the questions and then choosing answer from the options by the meaning of the question.

Antonym and Synonyms – Antonyms and synonyms are commonly seen in the CDS examination. But CDS 2 2016 doesn’t have these questions in the English paper. Still, the candidates must stay prepared for these kinds of questions. Antonyms and synonyms are based on the memory power of the candidates. These can be solved by just increasing your vocabulary and using new words in your daily speaking and writing habit. Read “The Hindu” newspaper and you will find many new words that can be asked in the examination.

Sources to Follow

  • Newspaper
  • Sample papers and previous year papers
  • Novels and Periodicals

Common Tips

  • Read the sentence again and again to find out the mistake.
  • Go through then meaning of the matter in the passage, rather than matching certain words in questions and passage.
  • Arrange the sentences or words according to the meaning by linking sentences in the sequence.

Conclusion – CDS examination is the gateway to the Armed Forces for many aspirants. So clear the exam, the candidates should score more in English and maths to get over the cutoff, and for OTA aspirants, English is the scoring part of the examination. Like Maths, English also needs constant practice and dedicated efforts. Keep consistent preparation for other papers also, but try to score more in any of the papers. So prepare well and work hard to clear the CDSE 1 2017.
