Lesson 2 of 2 · MCQ with first/last sentence fixed (Rohtak/JIPMAT)

Option elimination

Para Jumbles · for IPMAT Indore, IPMAT Rohtak and JIPMAT

The idea of MCQ with first/last sentence fixed (Rohtak/JIPMAT)

Rohtak (and sometimes JIPMAT) gives the first sentence (S1) and the last sentence (S6) of a six-sentence paragraph and jumbles the four in between (P, Q, R, S). Four options are offered, so the task is elimination rather than construction.

The exam method

  1. Read S1 and ask what must come next (an answer to a question, the person just named, the next event).
  2. Find that sentence among P, Q, R, S and strike out every option that does not start with it.
  3. Among the remaining options, find the one mandatory pair that differs (e.g. "They" in R needs Q) and choose.
  4. Check the last sentence leads into S6.
