Aptitude problems tips to solve

I want to get admission in Indian Institute of Management so in order to get admission I need to be good in the section of Aptitude so can you please give me the tips to solve the questions based on Aptitude?

As you want to get the tips to solve the questions based on Aptitude so here is the information of the same for you;

Tip #1
The very first step to prepare well for quantitative aptitude is to know well about the types of questions that are covered under this heading. This can be done by a little bit of research and by taking up the questions of this section.

Tip #2
Once you know about the types of questions, one by one take up these types and start preparing.

Tip #3
Since this whole section requires a lot of mathematical ability you should revise the basics of mathematics off and on.

Tip #4
When you start preparing for a question type take up as many questions as you can from good books and papers and try solving them.

Tip #5
Do not consider any type less important or insignificant because you never know which question type may be highlighted in this section.

Tip #6
Also, if you are unable to solve a few questions do make it a point to get it solved from a senior, teacher or a fellow student. Don't leave any question unsolved.

Tip #7
Quantitative aptitude forms a major section in many significant entrance exams so it shouldn't be taken lightly and must be practiced on a regular basis so that you are in touch with these types of questions.

Tip #8
Once you get in a habit of attempting these questions start focusing on your accuracy. Though it is important to attempt all questions it is equally important to do them accurately.

Tip #9
Practice, practice and practice. The more you practice the higher accuracy level you achieve. Only practice can help in a good preparation.

Tip #10
After you've worked on achieving a high accuracy level, you need to learn the technique of time management because it is important to attempt the questions correctly in a given amount of time. You can not just sit for hours solving one question. This again can be achieved by a lot of practice.

Ok, as you want the Tips to solve Aptitude questions so here I am providing you some best tips to solve Aptitude questions.

To solve questions of format-
"What is x% of y?"

Every word or symbol in this sentence needs to be translated into math.

“What” always represents a variable; let’s use x.

The verb (is, was, are) always represents an equals sign.

For any percentage, we write a fraction with the given number over 100.

“Of” always represents multiplication.

Ex-

Let’s solve the problem

“What is 30% of 80?”

Now, we can write: x = 30/100 * 80 and we do the math to solve for x.
The answer is 24.

One other type of calculation for converting fractions, decimals to percents.

Percent to Decimal: move the decimal point two places to the left. For example, 42% = 0.42.

Percent to Fraction

42% = 42/100 = 21/50.

Decimal to Percent: move decimal point two places to the right, For example, 1.6 = 160%.

Fraction to Percent: first convert fraction to decimal, then follow the directions to convert from decimal to percent. For example, 5/6 = 0.833 repeating = 83 and 1/3 %.

Some Important formulas to solve aptitude questions

Formulas of Number Series

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + n = n(n + 1)/2
(12 + 22 + 32 + ..... + n2) = n ( n + 1 ) (2n + 1) / 6
(13 + 23 + 33 + ..... + n3) = (n(n + 1)/ 2)2
Sum of first n odd numbers = n2
Sum of first n even numbers = n (n + 1)

Mathematical Formulas

(a + b)(a - b) = (a2 - b2)
(a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
(a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
(a3 - b3) = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ac)
When a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
(a + b)n = an + (nC1)an-1b + (nC2)an-2b2 + … + (nCn-1)abn-1 + bn

Shortcuts for number divisibility check

A number is divisible by 2, if its unit's digit is any of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
A number is divisible by 5, if its unit's digit is either 0 or 5.
A number is divisible by 6, if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by the last three digits of the given number is divisible by 8.
A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10, if it ends with 0.
A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places, is either 0 or a number divisible by 11.
A number is divisible by 12, if it is divisible by both 4 and 3.
A number is divisible by 14, if it is divisible by 2 as well as 7.
Two numbers are said to be co-primes if their H.C.F. is 1. To find if a number, say y is divisible by x, find m and n such that m * n = x and m and n are co-prime numbers. If y is divisible by both m and n then it is divisible by x.

I hope it will definitely help you.
