4. SOLVE, SOLVE AND

SOLVE
The more questions you solve, higher
your accuracy will be. Try to solve
more questions of each chapter.
Solve question of every type
whichever you face.

DURING EXAM
1. SKIP QUESTIONS
Out of 50 questions you need to
score 20+ . There are 5-6 questions
of high difficulty level, it's better to
skip them then wasting time on
them. Finding and skipping long and
difficult is a skill, you need to master
this. Even in 4-5 questions set of

quantitative or receiving asking

section, if you are not able to
understand the question or clueless
about how to solve it, skip it or you
will end having very low attempt.

2. PLAY WITH OPTIONS

7-8 questions in an exam can be
solved just by eliminating the options.
Take an example,
A man bought 18 oranges for 100
rupees and sold 12 oranges for 100
rupees. Calculated profit percentage.
a) 33.333%
b) 50%
c) 66.666%
d) Can't be determined
It can be easily seen that man saved
50% of what he sold. He saved 6
oranges while he sold 12 oranges.
Clearly answer is 50%

3. ESTIMATION
Try to estimate answer. You can 't
solve 200 and more questions in 2
hours. This trick can be used in profit

and loss, time distance, data

interpretation and many more
chapters.

4. TAKE 100 AS BASE

Many questions can be solved just by
taking 100 as base. Take an example
What is the percentage profit in
selling an article in discount of 20%
which was earlier sold for 40% profit ?
a) 20%
b) 14%
c) 28%
d) 12%

Solution : Lets take Rs.100 as cost of

article. Man was selling the article for
Rs140 ( 100 cost + 40 profit ) , now he
is selling at a discount of 20% , now
140*20/100 = 28. New selling price =
140-28 = 112
Answer is D
