Author-Aditham B. Rao
‘Numerical Ability and Mathematical Aptitude’ by Dr. Aditham B.Rao is for Admission Tests,Professional & Competitive Examinations.This book deals with the useful topics required to crack competitive exams.The one thing I like very much about this book,it is not thick book like any other such kinds of book I’ve seen ,which are loaaded with bulk of questions which becomes difficult to cover each and every topic.This book is just of 405 pages where topics are discussed briefly.
As the blurb goes-‘This textbook is designed to help students prepare for entrance tests to various management institutes and other professional and competitive examinations.Table of content includes Variation,Percentages, Time and Distance, Profit and Distance, Ratio and Proportion, Time and Work, Simple and Compound Interest,Averages, Set Theory, Annuities, Brokerage and Discount, Mensuration, Simple, Analytical,Critical and Simple Reasoning, Simultaneous and Quadratic Equations, Commission, Indices and Surds, Determinants, The Binomial Theorem, Sequence and Series, Stocks and Shares, Logarithms, Permutations and Combinations, Matrices, Data Sufficiency, Data Interpolation, Data Interpretation, Non-Verbal Ability and Model Test Papers Key features of the book include the simple manner in which the theoretical principles are explained, inclusion of numerous questions, both solved and unsolved, plenty exercises to test the learner’s ability and model test papers to give the students a mock-up of what is to be expected in key professional and competitive examinations.
Numerical Ability & Mathematical Aptitude will be especially useful for students preparing for examinations such as I.C.W.A, I.M.A, N.D.A,C.A. Foundation and other such competitive
examinations.’
Well the blurb says it all.This book deals with numerous topics as mentioned above and not only it holds the question of same type but the different and tricky questions are also there.From the questions depending on basic fundamentals to the questions depending on typical theories are encorporated in this book.
The book is divided into four sections-Arithmetic,Algebra and Data Interpolation as the core topics and these are discussed in details partioning into chapters.The fourth section has model test papers which will help you to know what and in which way questions are being asked in competitive exams.
This is the book, I think one could refer if he/she thinks to crack any competitive exams.It covers topics and deals efficiently on every core of the topic.Limited and needful questions are provided in each chapter which could help you not only to cover only few topics but to cover the whole topic in less time.
