thumb_speed time distance train running boats in rivers

Traveling at same speed we would need twice the time we took last time, if we have to cover twice the distance we traveled last time. This follows from our common sense. The relationship between speed, time and distance is one of the most basic physical laws that affects our real life experiences extensively. Trains run from station to station at various speeds; boats ply in the river but their actual speeds are reduced by the river stream speed if the boat moves upstream...the applications of the relationship between speed time and distance form an important part of Arithmetic...

thumb_How to solve difficult SSC CGL profit loss problems in a few steps 3

Usually profit and loss problems do not come difficult, variations are few and with a bit of grounding on concepts you can solve any of this category of problems easily. That's why this one surprised us. At the first glance there seemed to be too many variables and the problem unsolvable. But when we looked deeper we discovered the clues to elegant solution one by one...

thumb solve work time work wage and pipes cisterns

Different persons or types of persons complete the same work in different number of days as their work capacities are different. For example, a boy may complete a work in 6 days while a man may complete the same work in 3 days. In work-wage problems these work rates become important as the working agents receive wages in ratio of their work capacities. Finally, in pipes and cisterns problems similar working agents come into action in the form of pipes but they receive no wages...

The conventional approach to math problem solving relies heavily on manipulation of terms using low level mathematical constructs without using the problem solving abilities of the student. Following only this approach to solving problems, students may tend to become used to mechanical and procedural thinking suppressing their inherent creative and innovative out-of-the-box thinking abilities...
