Can you provide me the question paper and the syllabus of the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) examination ???

Yes definitely, I am providing you the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) examination question paper and the syllabus.

(a) General Awareness – History, Sports, Geography, Environment, Civics, Basic Science, Defence, Art, Culture, Current Affairs, Politics etc. (b) Verbal Ability in English – Comprehension, Error Detection, Sentence Completion, Synonyms, Antonyms and Testing of Vocabulary. (c) Numerical Ability – Decimal Fraction, Simplification, Average, Profit & loss, Percentage, Ratio & Proportion and Simple interest. (d) Reasoning and Military Aptitude Test – Verbal Skills and Spatial Ability.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. The awareness of equal corruption will be a better emotional basis for the so-called multi-racial commonwealth, of which much is made, than its professed principle-the pursuit of common aims in world politics, aims which are so rarefied that a large volume of artificial political oxygen is needed to keep that body-politic breathing. After all, it cannot be denied that even the United States and the Soviet Union are pursing common aims in world affairs, such as peace, disarmament, democracy, technological progress, as well as freedom as understood by each. But that is not preventing them from doing things which might lead to the destruction or near destruction of mankind. Thus, common aims would seem to be very undependable as guarantees for goodwill and co-operation among nations. On the contrary, a frank admission of being equal sinners would at least encourage charity and discourage moral arrogance. That would be a better foundation for integration for international and multi-racial co-operation.

(a) the failure of the constituents to work for the same goals (b) the racial nature of its membership (c) uniform lack of moral standards (d) constant redefining of objectives

(a) do not work earnestly to achieve them (b) undo each other’s efforts (c) still act against the interest of mankind (d) do not see them in the right perspective

Q3. Common goals are desirable, but these
(a) do not ensure international co-operation (b) lead to unnecessary tensions (c) encourage rivalry between super powers (d) lead to destruction of mankind

Q4. International co-operation can come about if

(a) the Commonwealth has outlived its utility (b) membership of the Commonwealth be restricted to the super powers (c) members are equally responsible for the present state of world politics (d) international peace and co-operation are unattainable.
