In the 100 meters, long jump, high jump and shot put, it was enough to qualify in any three. Recently, 100, 800 meters, high jump‌ tests were discontinued. Male candidates will run the 1,600m instead of the 800m. It should be completed in 7.15 minutes. Male candidates must qualify in the 1,600 meters, long jump and shot put.

Women candidates were given 33% reservation in civil posts and 10% reservation in AR. The age limit for candidates has been fixed as July 1 this year. Eligible age for constable posts is 18 to 22 years; SI posts are valid for 21 to 25 years.

Eligibility is 30% in Preliminary!

Police posts are filled in three stages. Candidates who qualify in the first preliminary written test will be given a fitness test. After that there will be a final written test. In the past, 40 marks for both OCs, 35 marks for BCs, 30 marks for SCs, STs and ex-servicemen were considered eligible for subsequent examinations (Kata F). However, the latest announcement has reduced the percentage of marks required for the preliminary written test qualification.

It was decided that 30 per cent would be eligible for all categories. However, there is no change in the final test cutoff. Also, changes have been made to the negative‌ marking‌ policy in the latest announcement. While one wrong question in the preliminary and final exam had a negative marking of 25, it has now been reduced to 20 per cent. Also, constable candidates will have a weightage of three marks if they have a driving license. Meanwhile, competition for police posts is likely to increase. In the past, up to 6 lakh applications were received for 18 thousand posts. The Police Recruitment Board estimates that this time it could be up to Rs 7 lakh.

Read the following passage and answer the questions from 17-20.

It was Germany and France that the first successful attempts were made to produce an internal – combustion engine driven by petrol. In England, people were strangely timid about horseless vehicles. English inventors were handicapped by a quaint old law that forbade any such vehicle to attain a greater speed than four miles an hour, and compelled each one to be preceded by a man carrying a red flag. This law was not repealed until 1986.

The earliest motor cars were looked upon as mere jokes, or as rather dangerous playthings, by everyone except their inventors. Some of them were single-seaters, others would carry two or even three people; but all were noisy, clumsy, queer-looking things. When in 1888, Carl Benz, a German, produced a three-wheeled, internal combustion car, a great forward stride had been made. Another German, whose name, Daimler, is often seen on motor cars to this day, was experimenting about the same time, and testing a petrol driven engine. It is understood how the introduction of the petrol-driven engine revolutionalised road transport throughout the world. Until then the necessary power to push a vehicle along could not be obtained without the cumbersome tanks, boilers and furnaces of the steam engine. The internal-combustion engine is light in weight and small in size by comparison; the fuel is burned in it, so that there is no waste, like the durty cinders of a coal fire.

17. How did most people regard early motor cars?

(1) Not better than horse-driven engines
(2) A mere joke, or as rather dangerous playthings
(3) A mere scientific experiment
(4) A cumbersome vehicle

18. What were all early motor cars?
(1) A plaything or toy meant for engineers
(2) A vehicle better than horse-driven vehicle
(3) Noisy, clumsy, queer-looking things
(4) Dangerous but beautiful

19. What made the English inventors handicapped?
(1) The general public did not welcome the invention
(2) The quaint old law that forbade any such vehicle to attain a greater than four
miles an hour
(3) Non-availability of adequate fuel power the engine
(4) Availability of micro-air vehicles

20. What is incorrect about the internal combustion engine?
(1) fuel burnt in it as waste (2) light in weight
(3) noisy and clumsy (4) small in size
