Arithmetic is the most scoring yet time\u2011consuming part of Quantitative Aptitude. Smart revision of recurring topics, shortcut methods, and exam\u2011style practice can help you secure those crucial marks. Dive into the blog below and follow focused tips to maximize your performance in the final stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topic\u2011Wise Arithmetic Revision Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With only 5 days left for RBI Assistant Prelims 2026, focused revision is key. These topic\u2011wise strategies highlight shortcuts, formulas, and exam\u2011style examples to sharpen speed and accuracy in Quantitative Aptitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Mixture &amp; Allegation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last few days, focus on mixture problems involving replacement and ratio changes. These are predictable and often appear in prelims. Practice cross\u2011multiplication and repeated replacement formulas to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Break ratios into units.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Use replacement formula.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> 120 liters, ratio 3:2, replace 20 liters \u2192 final ratio 3:4.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Profit &amp; Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Profit and loss questions test your ability to calculate quickly on cost price. Expect twin article problems or successive discounts. Revise formulas and practice mental calculations to avoid silly mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Always calculate on CP.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> CP = SP \u00f7 (1 \u00b1 %).<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> SP = \u20b9960, loss 20% \u2192 CP = \u20b91200.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Partnership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Partnership problems often involve changes mid\u2011year. With limited time, focus on investment \u00d7 time logic. Revise cases where partners increase or withdraw investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Profit share = Investment \u00d7 Time.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Adjust for changes mid\u2011year.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> A invests \u20b95000, doubles after 6 months \u2192 effective investment doubled.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1 question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Time &amp; Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Time and work problems are common and require efficiency calculations. Revise LCM method and cases where workers leave midway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Use LCM of days for total work.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Work = Rate \u00d7 Time.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> P (24 days), Q (36 days) \u2192 LCM = 72 units.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Age problems are straightforward if you master ratio and difference concepts. Revise problems where future or past ratios are given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Translate ratios into equations.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Use difference method.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> Difference = 4 years, ratio after 4 years = 5:4 \u2192 Q = 12 years.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1 question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Boats &amp; Streams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boats and streams test speed and time concepts. Revise downstream and upstream relations and ratio\u2011based problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Downstream = Boat + Stream.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> If stream = 50% of boat, ratio downstream:upstream = 3:1.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> Boat speed = 12 km\/h, stream = 6 km\/h.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Simple &amp; Compound Interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SI and CI problems are predictable. Revise effective rate formulas and cases where SI and CI are compared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> SI = (P\u00d7R\u00d7T)\/100.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> CI = P\u00d7[(1+R\/100)^n \u2013 1].<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> \u20b96000 at 10% for 2 years \u2192 CI = \u20b91260.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Averages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Average problems often involve new additions or replacements. Revise deviation method and shortcut formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Total = Average \u00d7 Number.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Use deviation when new students join.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> Avg = 142, 6 join with 145, new avg = 148 \u2192 x=24.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1 question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Train Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Train problems are high\u2011yield and test relative speed. Revise platform crossing and man crossing cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last 5 days, practice converting km\/h to m\/s quickly and solving relative speed problems. These are guaranteed to appear and can be solved in under a minute with shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Relative speed = sum when opposite, difference when same direction.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Speed in m\/s = km\/h \u00f7 3.6.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> Train A (56 km\/h) crosses Train B (48 km\/h) in 19.2 sec \u2192 length = speed\u00d7time.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1\u20132 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Elections &amp; Percentages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Election problems combine percentages and ratios. Revise valid votes calculation and margin problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final days, focus on percentage conversions and margin calculations. These are simple but require careful reading of the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Calculate valid votes first.<br><strong>Shortcut:<\/strong> Valid = Total \u00d7 (1 \u2013 % not cast) \u00d7 (1 \u2013 % invalid).<br><strong>Example:<\/strong> 10% not cast, 10% invalid, margin = 1620 \u2192 total voters = 20,000.<br><strong>Exam Focus:<\/strong> 1 question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Revision Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With only 5 days left, you must prioritize efficiency. Here&#8217;s what you need to do to master this part of the Quants section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Daily Practice:<\/strong> Solve 20 mixed arithmetic questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Formula Sheet:<\/strong> Revise SI\/CI, Work, Boats, Profit\/Loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mock Tests:<\/strong> Attempt sectional mocks daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Error Log:<\/strong> Revise mistakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time Management:<\/strong> Target &lt;1 minute per question.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free RBI Assistant Mock Test for Overall Revision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspirants must attempt at least one <strong>free mock test<\/strong> before the exam.
