	Good Collection! Science and Technology section comes on Thursday in the 'The Hindu'. There must be a good book to have quantitative aptitude particularly on "Probability" and "Permutation - Combination" This year's CS(pre) had 17 questions on mental ability and most of them came from these two sections only.
