Hi Rahul,

Agreed that Arun Sharma does not provide good solutions,though sums are good. But we can post the sums in the Arun Sharma thread which runs in PG. Do post its link here so that all of us can refer them and get benefited

All the best

There are basic levels of Shakuntala Devi's books. Maybe you can try solving them first. It should make you comfortable to face tougher books.

guys plz reply..

which books (trishna's or arun sharma) is better from practise point of view...i mean different variety of questions...
thnx...

435

Not much idea about trishna's but arun sharma is definitely good in terms of formulae presented, shortcuts, sums based on formulae etc. LOD 2 of arun sharma gives a fair idea of the topic, while LOD 3 gives a good practice. arun sharma can be used as a launch pad to try out more variety of sums with different degrees of difficulty from various sources like papers, PG forums etc.,

All the best

No idea about Nishit Sinha. But Arun Sharma is really good for the collection he has given. The thought process methodology he follows is very handy, but there are places where answers are either insufficient or not given.

Do get back here when such a situation arises. Either post the questions in the arun sharma thread or PM to me or to my mail.

All the best
