Numerical Ability - What to Prepare ?
What is Numerical Ability ?
The word Numerical Ability is derived from the word Numeracy, which
meant the ability to apply simple numerical concepts. So we can define
the Numerical Ability as the ability to solve numerical problems using
the four fundamental rules of arithmetic. Those are
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication and
- Division
So, the main focus of this section is to check the candidate's ability
of calculating basic mathematical problems in less time (calculation
based). Where as in Quantitative Aptitude they will check the
candidate's ability of applying his / her own logic to solve the given
problems (formula based).
Important Note : But now a days they are using the terms Numerical Ability and Quantitative Aptitude almost interchangeably.
What to Prepare for Numerical Ability Section ?
- We have already made a list of basic Numerical Ability shortcut techniques. Have a look,
- Shortcuts in Multiplications (Simple Tricks)
Is it enough to prepare above mentioned topics for Numerical Ability ?
NO, The main focus will be on above mentioned topics. You can
score 30 to 35 marks from the above mentioned topics. For remaining 15
to 20 marks they are asking basic conceptual problems like profit &
loss, Time and Distance etc.... So you should get the basic knowledge of
following concepts too,
- Time and Work
- Time and Distance
- Ratio and Proportions
- Mixture and Allegation
- Number Systems / Series
- Profit and Loss
- Simple Interest and Compound Interest
- Probability
- Partnership
That's all for now friends. Hope this post helps you in your preparation. Happy Reading :)
