Some Random Tips for your Quant Section 1...To find greater between fractions without calculating their decimal values. Here is a short example: Consider 4/5 and 6/7 Cross multiply the numerator and denominator of both the fractions. 4 × 7 = 28 6 × 5 = 30 30 > 28 so the fraction carrying 6 as numerator is greater, i.e. 6/7 > 4/5 * You can use this method when you are asked to find out the greatest or smallest among given fractions. 2..Method to solve mixed fractions. Here is an example: Consider finding the value for 2(1/3) + 4(2/7) + 5(1/6). This can be calculated as: (2 + 4 + 5) + [(1/3) + (2/7) + (1/6)] = 11 + (14 + 12 + 7)/42 = 11 + 33/42 = 495/42 Now similarly 2(1/3) + 4(2/7) – 5(1/6) = (2 + 4 – 5) + [(1/3) + (2/7) – (1/6)] = 1 + (14 + 12 – 7)/42 = 1 + 19/42 = 61/42 3...Radical Symbol (√) When x^2 = 25, then x = 5 and -5 because 5 × 5 = 25 and also (-5) × (-5) = 25 But when x = √25 or 25^1/2, then x = 5 only because when radical symbol is used, we can take only positive (or zero) values. 4...Squares of numbers ending with 5. Consider examples: (25)^2 = 2 × 3 | 5 × 5 = 625 (85)^2 = 8 × 9 | 5 × 5 = 7225 (105)^2 = 10 × 11 | 5 × 5 = 11025 5..Multiplication with number 15. 120 × 15 = 120 + (120/2) = 120 + 60 = 1800 162 × 15 = 162 + (162/2) = 162 + 81 = 2430 185 × 15 = 185 + (185/2) = 185 + 92.5 = 2775

This is worth reading..motivational as well as good for English comprehension..:) ....... .... Two targets with a bow........ Dailogue Between Ego and Spirit - Ignited Minds I recently re-read Dr. Kalam's "Ignited Minds" - every page is so full of inspiration, experience...must read for every Indian especially youth. Dr. Kalam ends the book with an excellent story summarizing his thoughts. The story is titled "Dailogue between Ego and Spirit" and here it goes: EPILOGUE “I was thinking what can summarize the book aptly…I recall reading a story on internet about a conversation between two babies…Ego and Spirit…while in womb. Spirit says to Ego, ‘I know you are going to find this hard to accept, but I believe there is life after birth.’ Ego responds, ‘Don’t be foolish. Look around you. This is all there is. Why must you always be thinking about something beyond this reality? Accept your lot in life.’ Spirit quietens down for a while, but not for long. ‘Ego, now don’t get angry, but I also believe that there is a Mother. A Mother! Ego laughs. How can you say that? You’ve never seen a Mother, you don’t know what Mother is.Why can’t you accept that this is all there is? You are here alone with me. This is your reality. ‘Ego’, Spirit begs, please listen.What about those constant pressures we both feel, those movements that make us so uncomfortable sometimes, the feeling that we are being squeezed in as we grow? I think we shall soon have a new life, that we shall see light.’ Spirit tries not to bother Ego again but cannot resist one last try. ‘Ego,’ she says, ‘I will not bother you again. But I do believe that after all this discomfort not only shall we see light but also experience the bliss of meeting Mother. Ego’s reply is ofcourse, that Spirit is truly mad. What I want to tell the people of my country through this book is that they must never be content with that which has been presented to them……" - Dr. Kalam.
