Solving a simpler problem

This problem in contrast to the earlier one looked difficult. The challenge was on - would we be able to achieve its elegant solution? Not always we know about the end in the beginning of our journey, but finally concept based strategic approach provided the initial breakthrough and then led us to the elegant solution in a few more steps...

This is the 64th solution set of 10 practice problem exercise for SSC CGL exam and the 15th on topic Algebra. For maximum gains, the test should be taken first, that is obvious. But more importantly, to absorb the concepts, techniques and deductive reasoning elaborated through these solutions, one must solve many problems in a systematic manner using this conceptual analytical approach. One can learn well only by practicing learning by doing...

Time and distance problems are taught in middle schools and also form an important component in competitive tests. In any case, our endeavor is to solve such problems elegantly in a few simple steps in contrast to generally complex and time consuming conventional approach to solving such problems...

Is it actually possible to solve complex problems that appear in usual Competitive tests easily within a minute? Answer is a firm Yes, but with some conditions. To home in straight to the solution using only your mind and no pen and paper, we can say with experience that you need not have a great talent or very high level of intelligence, but...
