1.Quantitative Aptitude: The problems are based on math's.

Example: The length and breadth are increased by 15% and 25% respectively.

What is the percentage increase in the area of rectangle?

area=l*b

l'(new l)=l+0.15l=1.15l

b'=1.25b

new area=1.44lb

new area=lb+0.44lb

then new Area is increased by 44% of old area.

2.Logical Ability: The problems are based on logical thinking.

Example: 2,12,36,80, 150, ?.

                                                          here in this sequence,

2=1^2+1^3

12=2^2+2^3

? (6th place) =6^2+6^3=252.
