Arithmetic Where Concept is Publication) yoursmahboob.wordpress.com | Where Concept Paramount By Neetu Singh (Director) Paramount Coaching Centre Pvt. Ltd. Published by: Paramount Reader Publication OPC Pvt. Ltd. 701, Dr. Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi-1 10009Preface There are many books on Arithmetic available in the market with the questions solved in traditional manner. Those books are. good to develop the base in Arithmetic but as far as competitive exams are concerned, they fail to give that cutting edge to the aspirants that help them give a tough fight to their competitors. I always felt that in the field of Government Jobs, the competition ends up finding who gets the best guidance and not who is the best.When it comes to solving maximum number of questions in minimum amount of time, the conceptual short tricks play the most important role. This attempt of Paramount is an honest endeavour to bring to your doorsteps the conceptual short tricks that are developed at Paramount. Many of the aspirants cannot come to Delhi due to lack of resources or awareness. This is a small step to help you take that much desired giant step towards your goal that you have always yearned for. Our students’ constructive feedback and suggestions are most welcome which have always remained and will remain our guiding light. Iwill be highly obliged if you message/mail/whatsapp me your feedback or suggestion on 8860330003 or on paramount.no1@gmail.com Neetu Singh March 1, 2014 December, 2014 May, 2015 ——_—-yoursmahboob-wordpress:com————__ |yoursmahboob.wordpress.com CONTENTS 1.
