Study Notes
Key Concepts
- Quantitative aptitude involves numerical reasoning, solving mathematical problems, and interpreting numerical data. This skill uses various mathematical concepts in real-world situations.
Types of Problems
- Arithmetic: Includes basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, and word problems.
- Algebra: Solving equations and inequalities with variables; covers linear equations, quadratic equations, exponents, and logarithms.
- Geometry: Understanding shapes, angles, and properties (triangles, circles, squares); calculations involve area, perimeter, volume, and surface area.
- Mensuration: Finding area, volume, and other geometric properties of shapes.
- Trigonometry: Relationships between angles and sides of triangles (especially right-angled triangles); understanding trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent).
- Data Interpretation: Analyzing data from charts, graphs, tables, and diagrams; identifying trends and conclusions.
- Statistics and Probability: Understanding descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation); calculating probabilities.
- Number Series: Identifying patterns and sequences to predict the next number.
- Time and Work: Efficiency of individuals or groups completing tasks.
- Time, Speed, and Distance: Understanding the relationship between time, speed, and distance; solving problems involving motion.
Problem-Solving Techniques
- Understanding the Problem: Clearly define given information and required outcome.
- Identifying Relevant Formulas: Use applicable mathematical formulas.
- Choosing the Right Method: Select an appropriate approach (e.g., substitution, elimination).
