7 (3) Req. Percentage decrease = (40 - 35)/40 x 100 = 12.5%

8 (5) Req. Ratio = (45 + 45)/ 40 + 40 = 90/80 = 9:8

9 (1) Req. Percent = (35)/30 + 35 + 45 + 35 + 40 + 50 x 100 = (35)/235 x ~ 15%

10 (5) Total amount invested by all the three in 2500 = (25 + 30 + 45) x 1000 = Rs. 100,000

someone please help me .


Coaching as backup! Please pour some wisdom. Many facing same doubts or issues. Might be little off topic, but really wishing to get some helpful responses here and some could relate with me too.

DO RESPOND   ur reply would be very helpful 

.......................................................... 

(kindly note that I quit my job 2 years back for preparing civil services exams. Only 5 months back,  I appeared in a few bank po or other govt exams).  

Some issues. I am sure most of you could relate with me or at least would  have given some thought regarding the same. 

Have quit my IT Mnc job 2 years back with 1 year experience. Now,  have appeared for a few bank po exams with no success,  missed by 5-10 marks in some exams like IBPS it officer, nicl ao etc. Narrow miss. But now without the changed pattern,  aptitude part has lost relevance in civil services exam. 

(using Mobile,  kindly excuse spelling issues,  auto spell check issues grhhh) 

So,  I am thinking rather to go for coaching/teaching  as a part time job or even as a backup. Would that be a wise decision? The nature of job of a bank po is hectic. I know it would be difficult to prepare alongside. Also, with aptitude removed or made qualifying, preparing for bank po or SSC would not help me in civil services prep. Moreover,  they are entirely different exams now. 

So,  considering this, would it be a wise decision to go for teaching as a part time or backup.

Am feeling that  financial independence is essential and one should not be depending upon parents at the age of 25. Please do pour your Windom or opinion. It would definitely help me. 

**Also,  would shifting or going to Delhi be a good option? Now,  currently residing in Lucknow. But,  high cost of living,  room issues,  food issues,  tough life there as I heard as some  people cheat innocent looking guys or idiots like me  anyway,  these must be minor issues. 

KINDLY RESPOND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Need varied responses and experiences :-) 

*was able to clear assistant commandant exam in 2012 by 1 mark in written,  though didn't go for physicals. Appearing again this year :-)
