Quantitative Aptitude Mathematics: A 10-Page

Guide
Original educational resource for students and self-study
Page 1: Introduction
Quantitative aptitude tests numerical reasoning and problem-solving. Speed improves with practice, but
accuracy should come first.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 2: Number Systems
Prime numbers have exactly two positive factors. Composite numbers have more than two. HCF is the
greatest common factor, while LCM is the least common multiple.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 3: Average
Average equals total divided by number of observations. If five numbers have an average of 18, their
total is 90.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 4: Ratio and Proportion
Proportion states that two ratios are equal. If 2:3 = x:12, then x = 8. Cross multiplication is a useful
method for solving proportions.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 5: Speed, Distance and Time
Speed = distance/time. Distance = speed × time. Time = distance/speed. Convert units before calculating
when necessary.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 6: Time and Work
If a person completes a job in 10 days, the one-day work rate is 1/10. Combined work rates can be added
when people work together.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 7: Simple Interest
Use SI = PRT/100. For example, ■5,000 at 8% for 2 years gives SI = ■800.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 8: Data Interpretation
Read tables and charts carefully. Identify totals, differences, percentages, and averages. Estimate first
when the exact calculation is lengthy.

Study tip: Read the example, write the key formula, and solve one similar problem yourself.
Page 9: Practice and Answers
Questions: HCF of 24 and 36; LCM of 8 and 12; average of 6,10,14,18,22; speed for 180 km in 3 hours;
distance at 60 km/h for 2.5 hours. Answers: 12; 24; 14; 60 km/h; 150 km.

End of guide — use the practice section to review the topic.
