About The Book

Description:
This well-received book, now in its second edition, is designed for the students preparing for the campus recruitment
screening test and the undergraduate students for their course in Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning. The main objective
of this volume is to guide the students to solve the problems within the stipulated time and that too with the higher degree
of accuracy.
Organized in two parts—Quantitative Aptitude (Part I) and Reasoning (Part II)—it helps students to apply basic
mathematical and reasoning concepts to a range of quantitative and reasoning problems. The separate sections are devoted
to verbal and nonverbal reasoning. It sharpens the ability to apply analytical and logical thinking while gathering and
analysing information, designing and testing solutions to problems, and formulating plans.
This book is a valuable resource for conducting training programmes/workshops to train students in problem solving
techniques in Mathematical Aptitude. It would equally be useful to the candidates appearing for quantitative aptitude and
reasoning test conducted in various competitive examinations.
