Turn ratios into actual shares by finding the total number of parts, and distinguish a ratio between groups from a fraction of the combined total in allocation problems.
Combine group averages using their sizes, recover a missing total and avoid the common mistake of averaging two averages when their underlying groups contain different numbers of observations.
Keep cost price, marked price and selling price separate, calculate successive discount and profit steps and check which base each percentage uses in an original retail case.
Compare interest on a fixed principal with interest on an accumulating balance, using explicit annual compounding assumptions and practice rates that do not claim to represent current bank products.
Translate completion times into work rates, combine contributions consistently and separate the rate of doing a job from the number of days a person would take alone.
Use distance equals speed multiplied by time, convert minutes and hours consistently and avoid the arithmetic-mean trap when averaging speeds over equal outward and return distances.
Use component quantities to calculate a mixture’s concentration, distinguish the average percentage from the total solute and solve replacement questions by tracking what leaves and what remains.
Find a defensible pattern in a numerical series by testing differences, ratios and alternating positions, while recognising that a short finite sequence may permit more than one constructed rule.
Factor simple quadratics, list every allowed root and compare possible values rather than choosing one convenient root when an aptitude question asks for a relation between variables.
Estimate numerical expressions using convenient nearby values, respect the order of operations and decide whether rounding precision is sufficient by comparing the size of the available answer gaps.
Read a numerical table by its headings and units, compute totals and growth comparisons and distinguish a row’s share of a total from its change across reporting periods.
Convert a pie-chart sector into a share using 360 degrees, recover category values from a supplied total and recognise why charts with different totals cannot be compared by angle alone.
Decide whether statements determine a unique answer, test each statement independently and together and distinguish having enough information from calculating the answer in the shortest possible way.
Trace greater-than and less-than relations through a chain, preserve strict and non-strict distinctions and identify when two quantities cannot be compared from the supplied ordering alone.
Use set relationships to evaluate categorical statements, distinguish possible overlap from a required conclusion and avoid adding existence or everyday knowledge that the premises do not provide.
Track movement on north-south and east-west axes, separate total distance from shortest displacement and use a coordinate sketch to handle turns without relying on mental rotation alone.
Draw a family tree with generations and explicit gender information, trace relationships from the named viewpoint and resist filling missing details with assumptions about ordinary family arrangements.
Combine ranks counted from opposite ends, calculate the number of people between positions and recognise when group overlap or uncertain relative positions prevent a unique total.
Solve a small circular arrangement by fixing one reference seat, handling left and right from each person’s facing direction and keeping a second diagram when a clue leaves genuine alternatives.
Place people on explicitly numbered floors, translate above and below into ordered positions and distinguish adjacent floors from floors separated by a stated number of intervening levels.
Read mixed letters, digits and symbols as ordered tokens, apply conditions before counting positions and distinguish a token’s numerical value from its location within the displayed series.
Find a passage’s central claim, distinguish explicit detail from supported inference and choose answers whose scope and certainty match what the original text actually establishes.
Choose missing words by combining grammar, meaning and the passage’s direction, using surrounding sentences rather than matching an isolated blank with the first locally plausible option.
