SSC CGL level Question Set 3, Arithmetic Number System

Third SSC CGL level Question Set, topic Arithmetic Number system

This is the third question set of 10 practice problem exercise for SSC CGL exam on topic Arithmetic Number System. Students must complete this question set in prescribed time first and then only refer to the corresponding solution set.

It is emphasized here that answering in MCQ test is not at all the same as answering in a school test where you need to derive the solution in perfectly elaborated steps.

In MCQ test instead, you need basically to deduce the answer in shortest possible time and select the right choice. None will ask you about what steps you followed.

Based on our analysis and experience we have seen that, for accurate and quick answering, the student

• must have complete understanding of the basic concepts of the topics
• is adequately fast in mental math calculation
• should try to solve each problem using the most basic concepts in the specific topic area and
• does most of the deductive reasoning and calculation in his head rather than on paper.

Actual problem solving happens in items 3 and 4 above. But how to do that?

You need to use your problem solving abilities only. There is no other recourse.
