Guidelines: You have to find out the shortest possible route between any two stations
(represented by alphabets) in the shortest possible time in a given map. Dark lines indicate
streets. The circles are barriers, which cannot be crossed. Squares containing numbers
represent houses. Number of the house passed by while finding the shortest route will be your
answer!

4. Information Ordering Test

Guidelines:
● Questions in the test include two tables 1 and 2 which you should use to solve it.
● All questions have a test figure included.
● Every question has a series of process boxes from A to D.
● All process boxes are divided into three parts- level 1, 2 and 3.
● Each part in a process box will either have a ‘x’ or lack it.
● The value of the part which will have a ‘x’ needs to be added while the value of the part
which lacks a ‘x’ needs to be ignored.
