Topics to target in Numerical Ability to Score 35\/35<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three sections of the IBPS Prelim Exam: Numerical Ability, English Language & Reasoning Ability. Numerical Ability section is considered the most time-consuming section as it requires clarity on concepts and practice questions. Clarify your basic concepts & focus on practice to get the maximum number of good attempts in the exam. Have a look at the specific topics to cover in the Numerical Ability section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplification\/Approximation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Around 10-12 questions are asked about simplification\/approximation. The level of difficulty is easy to moderate. Aspirants should give priority to covering simplification topics as it is not much time-consuming section. Practice maximum number of questions to get a grasp of concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arithmetic Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The topics covered in arithmetic problems are Profit & Loss, Problems on Trains, Boats & Streams, SI & CI, etc. The number of questions asked in the exam is around 10-12. The questions are so easy that you can solve them with your basic knowledge levels to get maximum good attempts in IBPS Clerk Preliminary Examination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Number Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

5 questions of Number Series appear in the prelim examination. These questions are based on topics like square patterns, cube patterns, prime numbers pattern, etc. Candidates can be familiar with these topics through regular practice. Get a hold on number series questions by understanding concepts and attempting topic-wise questions daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quadratic Equations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Observations based on X and Y values can fetch good marks in the Numerical Ability section. With ample practice, candidates can get a strong hold on quadratic equation questions in the clerk\u2019s preliminary exam. Target these topics strongly to score well. Around 5 questions are asked from the Quadratic Equations topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
