Instructions:
Shown below are new animals that have been acquired by an Indian Zoo.
Indian Grey Mongoose
Honey Badger
Indian Bison
Indian Pangolin
The Zoo wishes to create a signage to guide visitors around the enclosures of these animals. Create four icons using only BLACK colour to indicate the animal in the enclosure. All icons should be clear and visible, and have a consistent visual language. Draw the icons in the FOUR squares provided in the answer booklet.

Approach Solution - 1
- Indian Grey Mongoose (Top Left): The icon captures the slender body and characteristic curve of the mongoose.
- Honey Badger (Top Right): The icon represents its unique body shape and pattern to ensure clear identification.
- Indian Bison (Bottom Left): The icon emphasizes the bison's horns and robust frame for recognizability.
- Indian Pangolin (Bottom Right): The icon depicts its scaly structure in a simplified but distinctive manner.
Approach Solution -2
Instead of drawing each animal with its own natural detail, a stronger system approach treats all four icons as a single signage family built from one consistent shape grammar.
Start every icon with the same simple rounded body block, then add exactly one distinguishing silhouette feature per animal so the set reads instantly as related signs. For the Indian Grey Mongoose, add a long curved tail and a sharp pointed snout. For the Honey Badger, add a bold horizontal band across the back to suggest its light colored stripe. For the Indian Bison, add two short crescent horns and a thick humped shoulder line. For the Indian Pangolin, add three or four stacked curved arcs along the back to suggest overlapping scales. Keep the outline stroke width identical across all four icons, and keep the amount of black fill roughly balanced so no single icon looks heavier or lighter than the others.
This shared shape language makes the four icons feel like they belong to one signage set, which is exactly what a zoo directory needs, while each animal still stays instantly identifiable from its one added feature.

- A bank needs to upgrade its ATM kiosks to be wheel-chair accessible. An ATM kiosk entrance has four steps rising up to reach the floor level of the kiosk. Each step is 1000 mm in length, 300 mm in breadth, and 150 mm in height. The bank proposes to create a wheel-chair accessible ramp with a slope of 1:12, adjacent to the steps. What is the minimum horizontal length of the ramp in metre? \
