SIDBI Grade A sets 25 Quantitative Aptitude questions for 25 marks in the Phase I: Online Screening Examination, so it is worth planning your preparation around the topics below.
Speed decides this section. The arithmetic and data-interpretation sets are where the marks are, so the priority is a reliable method and quick calculation rather than exotic shortcuts. Lock down tables, squares and reciprocals, then drill data interpretation until reading the set is faster than solving it.

Profit and loss · solved example
The cost price of 15 articles is equal to the selling price of 12 articles. Find the profit percent.
Solution
Profit on 12 articles equals the cost of 3 articles, so profit percent = 3/12 × 100 = 25%.
Mixture and alligation · solved example
In 40 litres of a mixture, milk and water are in the ratio 3 : 1. How many litres of water does it contain?
Solution
The ratio 3 : 1 has 4 parts in 40 litres, so one part is 10 litres. Water is one part, which is 10 litres.
Addition · solved example
Find the sum of the consecutive numbers from 2 to 8.
Solution
The 7 numbers average 5, so the sum is 35.
Simplification · solved example
Solve: 9 + 8 × 6
Solution
By BODMAS, multiply first: 8 × 6 = 48, then 9 + 48 = 57.
