About Word Problems MCQs
This Aptitude topic is about translation from words to algebra. A typical problem describes two related quantities, for example one person having twice as many cards as another before an exchange, and asks for the original numbers. Other items involve seating arrangements with students left over, time allocation in an examination where some questions take double time, and simple ratio or difference conditions. The key method is to choose a variable for the unknown, write each sentence as an equation and then solve. Checking the answer against the original wording catches most errors before you mark it.
