to put the candidate ahead of others, as one can hope to score even
100% marks in this part. There may be several types of questions that
may form part of quantitative aptitude test. The first category could
be simple arithmetic problems including profit and loss, percentages,
ratio, averages, partnership, etc. Such problems involve simple calculations
and with a little practice and basic aptitude, can be solved correctly.

in 5 to 6 figures or decimals. Logical Reasoning: Questions on logical reasoning may be of
several types and in several forms. These could include a statement
on which the candidates are asked to draw correct interference out of
the given choices. There could be questions on series of words and figures,
arrangement of alphabets, brain teasers or even such questions as only
call for drawing logical inferences. Just like quantitative aptitude
test, this portion of admission test also needs special and detailed
preparations and practice. Most of the questions under this category
test the common sense and sense of proportion and reasoning among the
candidates. (c) Comprehension Test: Is aimed at gauging the understanding
