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.
