Simplification and approximation are the most frequently asked questions in any government job exam. These questions are very easy to score if solved with carefulness and efficiency. Simplification questions help in checking the way a candidate deals with numbers. They involve speedy calculation in a short duration of time.
Simplification questions are the most widely asked questions in the SBI Clerk examinations as well. They involve finding answers to complicated problems with the help of cube roots, square roots, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction.
These questions are divided into two main categories:
* When all the numbers are given. The candidate is required to do some operations and simplify the calculation.
* A number is missing. The candidate has to find the missing number using basic calculations.
Rules of Simplification Questions in SBI Clerk Examination:
A candidate must remember the following things while solving simplification questions:
* Replace ‘/’ with ‘Division’ and ‘of’ with ‘Multiplication’
Whenever you find ‘/’ in a simplification problem, replace it with ’Division’. Similarly, replace ‘of’ with ‘Multiplication’.
* Follow ‘BODMAS’ rule while solving the questions
‘BODMAS’ or ‘Bracket Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction’
Whenever there is more than one single operation in a calculation, the ‘BODMAS’ rule is to be followed.
* Addition and Subtraction have equal priority (start solving the operations from left)
As per the BODMAS rule, you can perform any of addition or subtraction first.
* To simplify the problems, round off the numbers to the nearest integers
Several times, the numbers are given in such a way that rounding them off to the nearest integer simplifies the problem. For instance, rounding off 124.6 to 125 can help get the answer quickly.
* Division and Multiplication have equal priority (start solving the operations from left)
As per the BODMAS rule, you can perform any one of multiplication or division first.
