Presumably given your entry in the Bio section (thanks! one of the minority who have completed this) you are familiar with Indian railway practices. Whilst I have quite a few answers to IRSE exam CTs, these are to various UK practices and so may not be entirely appropriate.
However I have posted an attachment which is a document which I started to write some years ago to help a certain group of students; other things took priority so I have never had a chance to finish it, but it should be useful for point locking and for route locking, though it didn't get very far into route and aspect I am afraid.
For any particular railway's situation there are in fact lots of worked examples out there that can be studied- the signalling records for each real interlocking installation! I also do wonder how much can actually be learned from just looking at a "solved" answer; if you don't comprehend the Principles in use then the answer by itself is not likely to be comprehensible. The best learning is from comparing where your attempt differs from what would be a good answer to the same Principles.
Can I suggest that you have a go at a past layout and post your attempt on this site, remembering to declare the standards to which you are working. This should enable you to get some useful feedback; obviously the closer your practices are to those with which others are familiar the better the quality of the feedback, but even if differ significantly it should still be possible to identify areas that "certainly look wrong" and which may require more study / investigation. Indeed this may be a good way to achieve your aim of understanding where railways' practices differ.
The message therefore is have a go yourself and get stuck-in- that is the way to learn how to do Control Tables. Don't expect to find "the solved question answer" that can be learnt- the same layout won't come up again in the exam. What you do need to learn is your railways generic Principles and then get familiarity in applying these. Do you have any Past IRSE exam paper layouts?

Which railway practice are you familiar with - ie are you looking for UK, Australia etc and are you from a metro or mainline background?
