11 Types of Maths Questions In AFCAT

The level of AFCAT exam comes with optimum difficulty. Most of the times, the questions are easy, tactical and makes the candidate take the time to solve. The questions are a bit simple than defense exams conducted by the UPSC (NDA, CDS) due to limited topics and low level of the difficulty. But, to score more you need to do good in the mathematics. So, here are 11 types of questions that are asked in the AFCAT exam and candidates should prepare them in order to score well.

 

11 Types of Maths Questions In AFCAT

1. Simple Interest – the questions asked related to simple interest can be different, but some direct asked questions are asked many times, where you are given few things and you have to find the missing one.

Example – The amount doubles at a certain rate in 5 years. In how much time will it become 8 times of the principal?

Sol. – If amount becomes double in 5 years, then it will become 8 times in

P = (PXRX5)/100 the R = 1/5

Now 7P = [PX(1/5)XT] / 100

= 35 years.

 

2. Percentage – the questions related to the comparison of the percentage are commonly asked in the exam.

Example – A’s salary is less than B by 20 percent. By what percent is B’s salary more than A?

Sol – Let the salary of B = 100 then A’s salary would be 80.

Now taking the percentage of B with respect to A, we get

(100/80) X100 = 125

So B’s salary is more than A by 25%

 

3. Ratio = The duplicates, triplicates sub-duplicates are very important from AFCAT point of view.

Example – The duplicate ratio of 5:6 is

Sol – The duplicate ratio of 5:6 is 52: 62

Similarly triplicates = cube of ratio

Sub-duplicates = square root of ratio.

 

4. Compound interest – the question asked can be over a given time compounded semi-annually or quarter annually. In these questions, divide the rate by 2(semi-annually) or 4(quarter annually) and multiply time by 2(semi-annually) or 4(quarter annually).

Example – what would be the interest on 4000 at a 10 % rate for 2 years compounded semi-annually?

Sol. using the formula of compound interest

Principal – 4000; rate = 10/2 = 5; time = 2X2 = 4

Amount. – 4000(1+5/100)4

 -> 4000(21/20)4

= 4862.025

CI = 4862.025 – 4000 = 862.025

 

5. Profit and loss – these days, simply formula based questions are rarely asked on this topic. A combination of profit and loss is usually asked in AFCAT.

Example – A man sold an article at 5 % profit instead of selling at a loss of 5%, so she got 20 Rs more. The cost price of the article was?

Sol. Profit + loss = Rs. 20

5%+5% = Rs. 20

If 10% = 20 than 100% would be = (20X100) /10 = Rs.200

CP = Rs. 200

 

6. Average – Questions related to the average of a specific range of number are usually asked.

Example 1 – The average of the first 50 even numbers are

Sol. formula – (last number + 2)/2

= 2,4,6,8,……..100

= (100+2)/2

= 102/2 = 51

Example 2 = the average of first 50 odd numbers is

Sol. formula – (last number + 1)/2

= 1.3.5.7… 99

= (99+1)/2

= 100/2 = 50

 

7. Train problems – the problems of the train and platform are crucial and the candidates should know the basics of the questions. The problems related to the man and train and platform and train is very common.

Example – A man standing on the 180m long platform observes a train crossing him in 8 seconds and crossing the entire platform in 20 seconds. The speed of the train is?

Sol – let the length of the train be T

The speed of the train is constant. So the speed of the train while crossing the man is equal to the speed of the train while crossing the platform

T/8 = (T+180)/20

T = 120 m

Speed = 120/8 or (120+180)/20 = 15mps

15 mps X (18/5) = 54 Kmph

 

8. Work and time – Here, the questions related to the comparison of the working ability of the men, women and boy is important, which candidate must prepare. Here the candidate has to get the working compression of the type of people and then use it to solve the question.

Example – 8 men can complete a work in 15 days with the help of 12 boys. While 10 men can complete the same work in 18 days. In how many days, 15 boys will complete the same work?

Sol – (8M + 12B) X 15days = 10M X 18 Days

1M = 3B

Using this comparison, we can find

10M X 18 Days = 15 Boys X a Days

OR

30 Boys X 18 Days = 15 Boys X a Days

A = 36 Days

 

9. Age – A combination of age and ration related problems are asked in the exam which need a bit basic knowledge of both he topics to get the right answer.

Example – the ratio of present age of A and B is 7:5. 4 years hence, the ratio of their age will be 11:9. The present age of B is?

Sol. – Let the present age of A and B will be 7x and 5x.

Then their age 4 year hence would be

7x + 4 = 11

5x + 4 = 9

X= 1; so the present age of A and B will be 7 X 1 and 5 X 1 OR 7 and 5 years.

 

10. Mensuration – The questions related to this topic are not frequently asked, but a few questions to having a combination of percentage and dimensions are asked in the exams.

Example – When a towel is bleached, it was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth. Find the percentage of decrease in area?

Sol. – Let the length and breadth of the towel be 100 and 100.

Area = 10000

After reduction of length by 20% and breadth by 10%, then the new area would be = 80X90= 7200

Percentage of reduction = [10000-7200]/10000 X 100

= 28%

 

11. Simplification – The questions from simplification are usually asked by embedding a problem into a statement and the candidate has to follow the statement to get the equation.

Example – 7 is added to a certain number, the sum is multiplied by 5; the product is divided by 9 and 3 is subtracted from the quotient. The remainder left is 12. What is the number?

Sol – Let the number be x then

[(7+x)X 5]/9 – 3 = 12

Using BODMAS

x = 20

Conclusion – The type of questions asked in the AFCAT exam is wide and candidates have to practice for higher level of difficulty to get a good hold over the section. The types mentioned above are prominently observed in the AFCAT exam and candidates should prepare them perfectly. Well, mathematics is all about practice. So keep on practicing for questions as much as you can.

BSF Ace Commando Anubhav Atrey Faces Court Martial Over ‘Civilian Death’

BSF Ace Commando Faces Court Martial

Once hailed as a hero, BSF commando Anubhav Atrey is now in a downward spiral. The assistant commandant from the 113 Battalion of the Border Security Force, who featured in a documentary created by the National Geographic Channel on the agency that’s India’s first line of defence, is now facing court martial over a “civilian death”.

Atrey purportedly got into trouble over self-defence action that resulted in the death of a Bangladeshi teenager last year in a suspected case of cross-border gold smuggling.

 

The incident took place on May 14 last year when the officer was deployed at Banpur post of BSF in Krishnaganj village of West Bengal’s Nadia district.

The killing sparked a furore in Bangladesh at a time when BSF chief KK Sharma was on a visit to Dhaka for talks with his counterpart, putting pressure on the force to act against one of its own.

WHAT HAPPENED

In his statement to the court of inquiry, the officer said, “There were 12-15 gold smugglers who came close to the fence with 2 carrying packets of gold articles to be thrown across to the huts in the Indian side, while 10 of them were carrying sharpedged weapons (machetes or da). But at 10 am, as the smugglers came close to the fence, the BSF constable in the team rushed without any arms to apprehend the suspects.”

In the panic which followed, the officer said he sensed that the smugglers speaking in chaste Bengali told each other “niye jaai (drag the constable into Bangladeshi territory)”.

Another one said, “maar”, which the officer said meant that there was a life-threatening situation for his junior. Atrey said he decided to use the non-lethal weapon, firing the first shot in the air.

The second shot was taken following the standard operating procedure (SOP) at the waist from a distance of 40-50 metres as the miscreants did not honour his appeal and became more aggressive. The shot hit a boy who later died in Bangladeshi territory. Based on an understanding between the BSF and BGB, the border guarding force of Bangladesh, patrol parties on both sides keep a mix of lethal and non-lethal weapons.

After this the smugglers ran to safety across the fence. Minutes later, the commandant informed the officer that the Bangladeshi force had informed them of a “civilian death”.

The two forces held a flag meeting where the BGB was allegedly convinced by the officer’s explanation. But facing heat from Bangladeshi media and the incident looming large over successful talks between the Indian and Bangladeshi contingent, sources say, Atrey became a scapegoat. The court of inquiry blamed the BSF troops for faulty planning but did not recommend any action. But before Atrey could heave a sigh of relief, he was called in for further recording of evidence. The officer who left a teaching job in Kendriya Vidyalaya says he now regrets his decision.

10 Tips To Improve English Speaking Skills and Vocabulary for SSB Interview

10 Tips To Improve Vocabulary For SSB Interview

For many, cracking SSB becomes very demanding and challenging due to one’s inability to speak or communicate in English. Indeed it is difficult but not impossible. With the right amount of attitude and preparation, one can effortlessly crack SSB. One important note for all the aspirants is you can’t master your speaking skills or vocabulary in a day or two; the process of refining your linguistic skills requires a considerable quantity of time. Another key point in one’s incapability to speak English is not only about a weak base but more importantly, it emphasises the lack of confidence in a person. Confidence insufficiency can occur due to one’s shy nature, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of being laughed at, or simply inadequate information or knowledge.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

 

First of all, you need to have a clear understanding that all these factors are interconnected because your English speaking skills are very closely linked to your knowledge base. If the contents of your awareness are restricted, your verbal expressions and body language will automatically be restricted. If you are a hardcore Armed Forces aspirant and unsound at speaking English, you must start working on your English speaking skills and vocabulary right from today itself.

The techniques enlisted below are direct and effective and need constant practice to reap the desired benefits.

1- The first and foremost step you should take is, start interacting with your family and friends in English and participate freely in all discussions wherein you can assume the center stage. Make this a daily habit. If you want to master the language, there is no better way than to speak it. It may seem awkward initially but you will get used to it in a while.

2- Books are a man’s best friend. How often have we come across this age old adage? But how rarely do we indulge in such custom! Read books, journals or any literary materials which would enhance your vocabulary and also improve your command over the language by illuminating you with newer structures of sentences, syntax, transformation of sentences, tenses, etc.

3- Start grabbing news and current affairs in English. Whether you read or watch the news, prefer English channels or newspaper like The Hindu, or English magazines like India Today, etc. This will not only improve your vocabulary and English formation skills but also keep you up to date with the latest news, happenings around and current affairs required for the SSB interview.

4- Make a list of difficult/standard words simultaneously that you come across while you read books and newspapers and always refer a dictionary. Install a pocket dictionary or thesaurus (most preferably Merriam- Webster Dictionary) app on your smart phones for the same. Keep a target of 10-15 minimum words per day but go on increasing gradually.

5- Watch or listen to English programs on TV or the internet like movies, serials, videos, news, songs etc. and try and capture their diction and manner of speech.

6- Use the mirror strategy.  This is the most beneficial approach because you speak in front of the mirror and you can watch your facial expressions. That will boost your confidence level. When you address yourself all alone, you are more comfortable and can monitor your body language, voice modulation (rhythm, volume, speed, pitch). Keep the volume high and speed low. You can also grab a newspaper and sit in front of the mirror and narrate the headlines to your reflection or simply read a book ‘aloud’ and learn to modulate your voice.

7- Get in the habit of diary writing or journal entry, that will improve your written expressions. This will help you in psychology tests (TAT, WAT, SRT, SD) in SSB. It will give more clarity in formulating your thoughts into sentences and minimises time-bound issues.

8-  You can take professional spoken English classes (online or offline) if you have less time left for SSB.  There are a number of websites and sources available that share free tools and study materials. Try  Lingua.ly, it’s a good mobile app for mastering the English language and comes around handy for the working aspirants who can’t devote much time to prepare.

9- Work on the level of your information and knowledge; when you have sufficient knowledge about a particular topic, you can speak anything and everything about it fluently and confidently in English without a fumble. Read journals that entail issues on debated topics of the nation and the world.

10-  Lastly, watch your body language and mannerisms. You actually speak a lot without saying much. Interview in SSB is about 7% words, 38% gestures (and other attitudinal imperatives), and 55% body language. Lack of confidence, nervousness, and other complexes are consequential manifestations that can lead to a poor conduct of the interview. Therefore, it’s always recommended to work on your interpersonal skills, communication skills, and attitudinal imperatives before going for an SSB.

Hope you find these tips helpful and achievable!

Wing Commander M S Dhillon

The bodies of three people killed in an Indian Air Force (IAF) chopper crash earlier this week have been recovered from the scene of the tragedy, Arunachal Pradesh police said on Thursday. A search is on for a fourth victim, they added.

A massive ground search operation was launched on Wednesday to trace the missing chopper. The search is on for the fourth air force officer who was on board.

The police had initially said there were three people on board the helicopter — Wing Commander M S Dhillon, the pilot, Flight Lieutenant P K Singh and Flight Engineer Sergeant Gujjar.

It was later confirmed that an IRB jawan was also with them to help evacuate people stranded in Sagalee and Dambuk following massive landslides caused by heavy rain.

The IRB jawan was identified as Nada Umbing from Hija village of Lower Subansiri district, senior police officer Sandeep Goel said.DEHXfhoWAAADD2q 19894767 10209527279369452 8891003049102543599 n 19702223 900558976748794 9033202354888806480 n

The search team comprised personnel from the state police, the National Disaster Response Force, the Army and the IAF. They were assisted by a medical team, Mr Goel said.

A court of inquiry has been ordered into the incident, a defence official said in the national capital.

The helicopter had taken off Tuesday from Pilputu helipad near Sagalee in Papum Pare district, around 30 km from Itanagar. It lost contact with the ground staff within minutes of take-off at 3:48 pm.

How I Cleared SSB Interview In my 1st and 3rd attempt

Cleared SSB Interview In My 1st and 3rd Attempt

Hello, everyone, I am Baanee from Delhi, for a long time now I have been reading stories on SSBCrack and I always wanted to write one myself. Hence I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience hoping that it would help or inspire someone.

I come from a defence background, hence the passion to wear the uniform was always there because this was not just a job for me it was a way of life that I did not want to stop living. I did my engineering in Electronics and Communication, I took this branch because this branch had a good scope in the armed forces and also in the Govt sector because I knew I did not want to work in the private sector at any cost. In my fourth year I gave AFCAT, appeared for UES Campus selection for Navy. I got my ssb call up for Navy at 12 SSB Bangalore on 22nd February 17. I reported at the railway station and seeing around 400 candidates waiting there with me, that’s what made me a bit nervous. We got through the the document check, our phones were taken. The next day we had our screening tests, OIR and PPDT. I attempted all questions in the OIR, I wrote a very normal story for the PPDT and tried to put across valid points in the discussion. The results were announced and I was screened in! 40 candidates were screened in and I was given chest no. 03.

Next day we had TAT, where I wrote normal and positive stories; WAT, I wrote the first response that I came to my mind because that’s the only way I could complete all the words in time ; SRT, here also I wrote my natural reactions and completed all 60 SRTs in time; SD, I had prepared this well before hand and wrote it down. On the same day I had my interview as well which went on for about 50-55 minutes. The interview consisted questions about my family, education, extracurricular activities, sports, hobbies,friends, teachers, good and bad qualities, fears, adventures, current affairs and some technical questions. My advise to everyone would be to be natural and honest because if you lie you ‘re bound to get caught.

The next day we had our GT 1, group tasks are the most fun part of the SSB. We had all our tasks on the first day itself except the command task and the final group task. I participated well in the GDs , GPE and GOR. I gave a few workable ideas in the PGT and the HGT. In my lecturette I took the last topic and spoke on Distance Learning. In the individual obstacles I could only complete 4 obstacles in the given time.

On the second day, my command task went well, I was called as a Subordinate by 3 other people in my group. FGT went well too.

On the final day, the day of the conference we were all nervous. I wasn’t expecting anything, I thought whoever gets recommended I ll observe and learn what that person did to make the cut. I waited for around 10 minutes before my turn, I was asked a few questions about what I thought of my performance and who would I suggest for recommendation. And then they asked me who was a better choice I or the other person. I thought for a bit and I said her name and gave a reason for why I thought so.

After the conference , the results were announced and I was recommended! Alongwith 7 other people. That was the day that I actually believed that I had it in me to become a proud officer in the uniform! We stayed back for our medicals, I was given a TR for ECG abnormality but I was declared fit in my review.

Exactly after 10 days after I returned from Bangalore I had my AFCAT SSB at 4AFSB Varanasi. I did not have time to prepare anything extra this time. I went and gave all my tests with the same mindset. But this time I got Conferenced out. This was not entirely unexpected because I knew my performance in my GTs was not up to the mark and I could ‘ve done a lot better.

After being recommended once and conferenced out later my confidence had gone down a bit. But my aim was clear and I knew I had to work harder.

After my final exams, I got my SSB call up for Army SSCW TECH-20, in 21 SSB Bhopal on 14 June 17. I really wanted to make it this time as I had lost all hope to get in the merit list for Navy as many of my friends had recieved their joining letters and I had heard nothing.

I reported on 14th June at the railway station , a total of 100 candidates had reported , after the screening tests I was screened in and I was given chest no. 02. I gave my psychological tests with the same strategy, completed all TAT, WAT & SRT. I had my interview right after it. It started with the general questions but after that it was all about current affairs, history , civics, geography of the world and a lot of technical questions. I hardly knew anything. And my interview went on for 1 hour 45 minutes. I didn’t know what to expect.

The next day was GT 1, GD , GPE & GOR went very well , I gave my 200 per cent. In my PGT and HGT I gave a few workable ideas. This time also I took the easiest topic for the lecturette.

On GT 2, I did 7 obstacles, I was called as a subordinate by most of the people in my group. In my command task my GTO talked to me for about a good 10 minutes about my performance till now , previous attempts, education, family, my inspiration to join the Army and also about what I thought of my fellow group members. I was given a bomb to diffuse using three approaches. I was able to do it in time.

Current Affairs questions will be from last 5 months (for AFCAT, NDA, CDS, TA)

On the day of the conference I was very nervous and wasn’t expecting a positive outcome. My conference went for a little longer. When finally the results were announced the officer said that he would announce the results sequentially. And when he started he straightaway said chest no. 11 and announced the others who were recommended I knew I hadn’t made it. But then he closed the file and then announced chest no. 02. I couldn’t believe my ears, I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes! I called up my parents after 5 long days and gave them the good news and they told me that they had recieved my joining letter to join the INA in the morning itself. I couldn’t thank god enough for the day I was having!

We stayed back for our medicals and were given our phones. I was declared medically fit.

I came home on 26th of june. The merit for Army is expected to be declared in August.

I am now going to join the Indian Naval Academy on 10th July.

My each SSB experience was worth living to bits! I got to know my strengths and I learned from my mistakes which have eventually helped me to grow. With my family always by my side and my friends who covered for me when I missed college for all my SSBs, all of it became so much easier.

Cheers! To all the Aspirants and All the best!
