 Publisher’s Note
Sometimes the understanding of fundamental concepts alone does not help the
students to crack the competitive exams as most of them are objective in structure.

e) m
Students need rigorous training to familiarize themselves to the style of the exams they
are attempting. The board exams which are of qualifying, but not competitive, nature do

pl co
not completely address the needs of students in testing them in objective type format.

To bridge this gap and to enable the students to face the reality of competitive

m t.
exams, Brain Mapping Academy, brought out an all-objective questions reference book.

n
Sa le
A crisp summary of the topics and useful equations were provided at the beginning
of each chapter so that the students can memorize the important points.
e ta
Care has been taken to design thought-provoking questions. These should help
re a

students to attain a deeper understanding of principles. The questions have been reviewed
(F bm

to fill the gaps in problem coverage and to build the confidence in the students. They have
also been expanded to impart reasoning/logical/analytical skills.
.

This book will cater all the requirements of the students who are approaching
w

national/state level talent search examinations and all Olympiad exams. This book also
w

complements the additional preparation needs of the students for the regular board exams.
w

We took utmost care to make this the best resource book available for the talent /
olympiad exams aspirants. We welcome criticism from the students, teacher community
and educators, especially concerning any errors and deficiencies which may have remained
in this edition and the suggestions for improvement for the next edition.
 For Your Information

NATIONAL LEVEL SCIENCE TALENT SEAR CH EX AMINATION

e) m
Aim of this examination

The focus on fundamentals is so important that without a firm understanding of them, a child

pl co
cannot be expected to face the reality of the competitive world once he/she finishes the
formal education. Even while opting for higher studies the student has to go through a
complete scan of what he/she knows. Exams like IIT-JEE, AIEEE, AIIMS, AFMC, CAT, SAT, GRE,

m t.
GMAT, etc. are so designed to test the fundamental strength of a student. Hence the need of
the hour is building the fundamental base as strong as possible.

n
A successful life emerges out from healthy and sound competition. Competition is the only
Sa le
way for the students to shake lethargy. It’s the only way to get introduced for manly worthiness.
Firm standards in education and competition are the tonic for a promising and talented
e ta
future.

This exactly is the philosophy behind the Unified Council’s NSTSE.

re a

Organisation
(F bm

National Science Talent Search Examination is conducted by Unified Council. Unified Council
is India’s first ISO 9001 certified organisation in the educational testing and assessment.
Since its inception, Unified Council has put together the best brains in an endeavour to make
.

the younger generation fundamentally stronger and nourish their brains for a bright and
w

enterprising future.

Eligibility : Students of classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 are eligible to participate in this

w

examination.
w

Medium & Syllabus: This exam is conducted in only English medium and is suitable for all
the students following CBSE/ICSE/State Board Syllabi.

Examination Pattern

There will be a separate question paper for each class. All questions are objective-type
multiple choice with no negative marking for wrong answers.
Duration: 90 minutes
Date : Conducted every year on the last Sunday of January.
Test Centres : Spread across the country.

Unique Service from Unified Council:
Unique analysis reports like Student’s Performance Report for students, General School Re-
re a

port & Individual School Report for schools provided. These reports are very much helpful for
students & schools to analyse their strengths and weaknesses.
(F bm

General School Report (GSR) analyses the performance of students participating in the
exam (subject-wise and class-wise). The report, in graphical format will have Ogive and
Histogram Graphs, which are useful to schools that wish to improve their students’
performance by benchmarking the areas of weaknesses and building upon them.
.
w

Individual School Report (ISR) analyses the performance of a particular school when com-
pared to the rest of the students participating in this examination (subject-wise, class-wise
w

and question-wise). This report acts as a tool for the schools to improve their students’ perfor-
mance in the future by benchmarking the areas of weaknesses and building upon them.

Closed plane figures:
The geometrical figures triangle, square, rectangle and circle are all closed plane figures
or closed curves. They are bounded by line segments or curved lines.

m t.
Closed plane figures, bounded by line segments are called polygons.

n
A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides.
Sa le
Square and rectangle are polygons with four sides.
e ta
All four sided polygons are named as quadrilaterals.
Square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus and trapezium are all quadrilaterals.

Circle:

A circle is a closed geometrical figure formed by points equidistant from a fixed point.

Circle

Every circle has a fixed point in it called the centre of the circle, from which all the points
on the circle are at the same distance.
A line segment drawn from the centre of the circle to any point on the circle is called the
radius of the circle. We can draw many radii (plural of radius) in a circle.

O = Centre
OP = Radius = r

A chord is a line segment whose end points always lie on the circle.
A diameter is a chord that passes through the centre of the circle. We can draw many
diameters to a circle. All the diameters of a circle are of the same length.

AB = Diameter (d)

Circumference of a circle is the total length of the boundary of the circle.

MN = arc MN
PQ = Semicircle

If an arc represents half of the circle, it is a semicircle or half-circle.

of symmetry or axis of symmetry.
