Hey I wanted to ask a query...
Is this method valid only,when numerator is less than denominator ?
Coz when I solved this ques...1239/177*100
M getting 63.1%ans bt the ans given in book is 70%...so plz explain..thnkss
Reply

First make no of digits same in numerator and denominator.
123.9/177 calculate this and then multiply by 10.
123.9/177=124/177= 150/200
=3/4 approx
124/177= 124+x/200
if denominator is increased by 23 ( approx 24)
numerator must also increase by 17 ( approx 18)
124/177= 141/200 =0.705
so 1239/177= 7.05
1239/177*100= 705%. Hope its clear.
kam 5 May 2014 at 19:02

Dint undrstnd sir,why ur converting 124 to 150..n then taking ratio of 3/4 n
most imp is when deno. Is increased by 24 then why only 17 is taken coz as far
as i knw ,same no is increased/decreased/multiply in both so tht the fraction
remains same....m i true? Can u plz give some examples it will be vry hlpful to
me coz ur method is easy i knw bt m nt able to undrstnd properly....thnks

Hello Kam, first we approxiate the fraction to a nearest ratio. To get that I
made 124 , 150 . And denominator 200. I got an approx ratio 3/4.
same no is not added/subtracted rather nos are added in the ratio of approx
fraction. If denominator is changed to 200 it is increased by 23, now numerator
should be increased such that increase in numerator is 3/4 of denominator
approx 17.

You can approximate it to 150 or 100 . But keep in mind if you are increasing
denominator increase numerator. And if you decrease denominator decrease
numerator too for approximation. But i will prefer to approximate to 100. since
division by 100 will be easiest. Solve your question approximating 100 and then
150. In both cases you wiill get approx same answer.
Good Luck :)

Hello,
I am really sorry i could not post article on Approximation & Simplification. I
tried to write Approximation & Simplification Article twice, But i was not
satisfied with the outcome. Actually, Process of Solving Simplification
questions depends much on options which gives us fair idea about
approximation can be done or not , if can be then how much, Also, there are so
many methods which is diicult to explain through a written article. So I have
6/28
24/07/2016
decided not to post simplification Article. Instead, I have decided to take an
online live workshop on Simplification techniques or i can make few videos
and post them on YouTube. I cannot commit when i will do that, But i promise
it is in my To Do List. So here i am providing you the solution of above
questions which may help you.
1) 12.36 * 18.15 + 21.52

(12+0.36) * 18.15.
12*18.15 = 12*18 + 12*0.15 = 216 + 1.8 = 217.8
Now no need to calculate 0.36 * 18.15 separately because
0.36*18.15 = 0.03 * ( 12*18.15 ) = 0.03 * 217.8 = 6.534
(observing such patterns is very important as it reduces lot of calculation)
12.36*18.15 + 21.52 = 217.8 + 6.534 + 21.52 = 245.854 answer.
2)0.09*6.8* ?=2.142
=> 0.612* ? = 2.142 ( if you observe without dividing you will know answer will
be more than 3. There is only one option more than 3. So, either 3.5 will be
correct or none of these will be correct. Now put 3.5 in place of question mark
and check : Do we get 2.142?
0.612 * 3.5 = 0.612 ( 3+ 0.5 ) = 0.612 ( 3 + 1/2) = 1.836 + 0.306 = 2.142 => 3.5 is
correct.
Note: Observing options helps us very much in Simplification.
3) x% of 920 * 7.5 = 2898
=> x% of 920 * 30/4 = 2898 (since 7.5 can be written as 30/4 )
=> x% of 230 * 30 = 2898
=> x% of 6900 = 2898
Just by observation you will know that answer will be more than 40%.
Let us find out.
40% of 6900 = 0.4 * 6900 = 2760
4% = 276 (4% = 40% / 10 )
2% = 138 ( 2% = 4% / 2 )
so, 42% = 40% + 2% = 2760 + 138 = 2898
Answer = 42%
4) 69.2*18.4*4.5 = ? ( 5729.76 , 5972.76 , 5279.76 , 5792.76, None)
write 18.4 = 92/5 & 4.5 = 9/2
69.2 * 92/5 * 9/2 = 69.2 * 82.8

3) For seven digit division you can leave four digits if options are not very close.
( it works most of the time)
For more understanding you can read the comment section of article " How to
divide two numbers quickly" where i have explained few higher digit divisions.
Support
Now if you calculate 69.2*80 then 69.2*0.8 is automatically calculated,

69.2*2 can also be easily calculated.
69.2* (80+2+0.8 ) = 5536 + 138.4 + 55.36 = 5729.76
Note: There are others methods too which can be used to solve such questions
quickly. I have explained here the simplest & easiest one.
Hope you understood :)

Thanks Chandra.

I was doing a question in which it was asked to find :how much approx is 37 of 108 ? ( a- 30 , b-33 , c-34 , d-35 )
I did like this....please tell me what is wrong in this..given answer is 34
37/108=30/100=3/10=0.3
Now, 8*0.3=2.4 , so i will subtract 2.4 from 37 which will give 34.6
Therefore, from your method my answer is 34.6 % . Now the question is how to know that i
should mark 34 or 35.Both are in the options.Please explain i'm confused.
Reply

If answer options are very close. Approximate it to a closer value for example
37/108 ~ 36/108 ~ 1/3 ~ .33/1
1/3 is a better approximation ( better approximation gives you answer very
close to exact value) . Now make denominator 100.
decrease in denominator =8
decrease in numerator= 8*.33= 2.64
37/108~ 34.36/100~ 34.36%. So answer will be 34. Just practice weekly with 4-5
fractions every week to master this method. The better you approximate. The
closer you get to exact value. If you use calculator exact value is 34.25. Hope its
clear.
Good Luck :)

Hi,
Percentage
Change=(1458865-1345678)/1345678*100=
[1458865/1345678)-1]*100
1458865/1345678~ 14588/13456 ( removing two digits from numerator and
denominator will not impact much on our calculation).
14588/13456~ 14/13 ( approximate ratio)
make denominator= 13000
decrease in denominator= 456~ 13*35
so decrease in numerator=14*35=490
so 14588/13456=14098/13000= 1.0844
so percentage change=(1.0844-1)*100=8.44%
if you use calculator exact value=8.41%
Hope you understood:)
which is approximately 8.5%.
Good Luck:)

Hello sir.... these articles are really very useful for studying DI... Sir there was one question in
which they were asking to calculate 4990/42150, then is it possible to calculate this number
while using this technique...
Reply
Replies
Hello Kushal , Yes this division can also be done using this method just you
need to approximate this fraction:
4990/42150 < 4990/42100 ====> Now calculate 4990/42100 actual answer will
be slightly less than this fraction.
499/421 ~ 500/425 ~ 100/85 it means if you increase denominator by 85
numerator must be increased by 100.
499/421 ~ /500 ( denominator increased by 79 numerator must be increased by
93 approx)
10/28
24/07/2016
499/421 ~ 592/500 ~ 1.184
499/4210 ~ 0.1184.
Exact Value of 499/42150 using calculator will be = 0.11838.. so we got our
answer very close to actual value.
But there is an better approach if the numerator or denominator are very close
to century number.
Method 2:
499/421 ~ 500/420 ( Here i have increased numerator by 1 and decreased
denominator by one.
so 499/421 will be slightly less than 500/420 .
So now let us calculate 500/420 = 50/42 = 25/21 = 1.1904 ( our answer will be
slightly less than this value as discussed above ) and you will be able to mark
your answer.
Good Luck :)
Khushal Garg 21 June 2014 at 00:23

Thank you sir... :) But the options were like 11.49 and 11.84 so which method according to
you I should as the options are so close?
Reply

Kushal,
Always Method 1 gives the closest answer. But here in this perticular case in
Method 2 we have done very little bit of approximation... so answer will be very
close in method 2 also. Hence 11.84.

Hi Jess,
Yes, if options are close there is ambiguity, the better you approximate the
fraction => closer will be your answer.Here answer is 4.5 which is closer to 4.3
=> In 99% cases your answer will be the closest one you got.
But if you have doubt like no are very very close ( Rarely such things are tested
in DI, but in banks exams they do )
You can check using an alternate approach.
Let us check option (C) =>
I chose 4.5 because it is easy to multiply with 4.5.
290 * 4.5 = (300-10) * 4.5 = 1350 - 45 = 1305 => Your answer is actually less than
4.5 => But no option is less than 4.5 so mark (C) option.
Hope you understood.
Note: Apply division rule without any doubt if options dier from each other by
at least 0.5 => You will always get your answer using division rule.
If not => then use the alternate approaches like I discussed above.
Good Luck :)

Hi,
You must be making some mistake while applying the above method.
12/28
24/07/2016
Let us solve.
1789/762
1) approximate fraction = 1800/800 = 9/4
2) To make denominator 800 => Denominator must be increased by 38.
Corresponding increase in numerator = 9/4 *38 ~ 86
1789/762 ~ (1789+86) / (762+38) ~ 1875/800 ~ 2.3437
If you calculate the value of 1789/762 using calculator
1789/762 = 2.3477
There is a dierence of only 0.004 between answer using our method and using
calculator. ( Why use calculator then !!! )
Hope you understood ... Do write in the comment box :)
Good Luck: )
Sukrit 21 January 2015 at 15:40

sir, why u r not converting 1789 into 3 digit number as u hv done before..
so that 1789/762~(178.9/762)*10~179/762
now 179/762=> 200/800=>1/4
for an increament of 38 in denominator,we hv to increase the numerator by
9.5~10
so, 179/762~189/800=2.36 answer
RAVI MISHRA 21 January 2015 at 15:51

@Sukrit,
You can convert it into three digits and then approximate or you can do it
directly too. There is no problem. Both are valid.
This step is for getting approximate ratio which can be obtained by both the
approaches.

sir, i hv a prblm in solving 9248/136.

i hv done this qus like this9248/136~(924.8/136)*10~(925/136)*10
now, 925/136=>900/100=>9/1
so, for an increament of 36 in denominator we have to increase the numerator
by 324.
so, 925/136~601/100
so ans will be (601/100)*10=60.
Support
and if we do this qus by approximating

925/136~1000/200=>5/1

Hi Sukrit,
Better the approximation => Closer will be the answer.
When our approximated fraction is much diverted than original fraction then
our answer will also divert a lot.
925/136 => Obviously our method tells us that when increase/decrease in
numerator in numerator & denominator is in same ratio as original one then
fraction remains same. => Since roughly I unit decrease in denominator => 9
unit decrease in numerator.
So even while approximating use this => when we are saying => 925/136 ~
900/100 [ we are loosing accuracy because of decrease of 36 in denominator
and decrease of only 25 in numerator => when your know its roughly 9/1 =>
corresponding decreases must be in line with given ratio for better
approximation]
Its not always necessary to make numerator in 100's and denominators also in
100's rather there are other ways in which fractions can be approximated
without loosing accuracy.
Better Approximation: 925/136 => 910/130 = 7/1
=> for 36 decrease in denominator => 36*7 = 252 decrease in numerator =>
(925-252 ) / 100 = 673/100 = 67.3 ( close to actual value)
Note : Better the approximate closer will the answer.

Can you give approach to solve 214/243.

denominator and numerator are close.
Now since approximate ratio is 0.9 => if you increase denominator by 1 =>
Numerator must be increased by 0.9.
So, in order to make denominator = 250 => denominator must be increased by
7.
increase in numerator = 0.9 * 7 = 6.3 ( you may take it 6 or 6.5 for easier
calculation )
=> 214/243 = (214+6)/(243+7) = 220/250 = 0.88 Answer.
Support
214/243 ~ 0.9 ( making denominator 250 & numerator 225. 225/250 = 0.9 ).
Answer using calculator = 0.880658..

Method 2: When denominator is very close to multiple of 50 or 100.
There is a better alternate way to calculate the value.
214/243 ------(1)
make denominator 250 without changing numerator.
214/250 ----- (2)
now value of equation 1 will slightly more than the value in .equation 2.
14/28
24/07/2016
214/250 = 0.856.
so, 214/243 > 0.856 ( in objective questions, this is very useful. whichever
option is more than 0.856 and close to it will be the answer)
If answers are very close you apply Method 1. Otherwise, method 2 will give
you answer quickly.
Do provide your feedback :)

Also, while applying Method 1.
For calculating, approximate ratio => nos are close you can take it 1.
( or make numerator 250 and denominator 250 as per method )
214/243 ~ (214+7) / (243+7) = 221/250 = 0.884 => will also give you answer.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind words :)
Solution:
Always keep maximum three digits in numerator and denominator and not
more than that otherwise calculation becomes diicult.
so,
376/3882 => 4 digits in the denominator but you need only 3.
376/3882 => 376/3880 ( i made last digit zero it won't aect your answer ;
always do like this to reduce no of digits.
376/388 ~ 1/1 ( make numerator 400 & denominator 400 )
now => to make make denominator

corresponding increase in numerator will be => 12 (since approx ratio is 1)

376/388 = 388/400 = 0.97
376/3880 = 0.097
376/3880 * 100 = 9.7%
376/3882 * 100 = sligtly less than 9.7.
Few other examples.

To calculate = 487/4923 ( calculate 487/4920 i.e. 487/492 )
always delete extra digit and replace it with zero then you will get you known

Change in numerator/Change in denominator = 5/9 as it has been shown in
step 3:
Change in denominator =45 ( to make it 900)

0.8 is the best approximation...
But in exams even 435/546~ 500/600~ 5/6 will also work
Both will give you answer...
1st approximation is more close... So it will give you closest answer.
In exam, first look at options , if options are not so close approximate

Like
455/530 = 500/600 = 5/6
312/456 = 300/450 = 2/3
or 312/456 = 300/400 =3/4 (ye bhi chalega answer aa jayega abhi bhi)
Note: Kewal ye dhyan rakhiye ki agar numerator ko badha rahe hain to
denominator ko bhi badhana hai... aur agar numerator ko kam kar rahe hain to
denominator ko kam karna.
Par kabhi kabhi ulta bhi karenge jab nos century no ke aas paas ho jaise
892/1005 = 900/1000 = 9/10
Main samjhne wali baat ye hai ki ye approximate fraction hai to iska bilkul
accurate hona jaroori nahi hai.

Hi Ankush,
This method is applicable for any fraction, having any
no of digits. But, I will suggest you not to calculate for
More than 3 digits, I mean master the above method for
three digit division it will be more than suicient to solve
any question.For example in exam if you are required to calculate:
4432/5674=> delete last digits it will not aect your answer
So, Calculate 443/567 you will get your answer. So, master three digit
Division and convert any other questions in 3 digits and then solve.

Step1: make it three digits (will not aect your answer)
Support
Hello,
I stated it that if you increase/Decrease the numerator follow same thing for
denominator too. I said so because if you dont follow this your approximate
fraction will deviate from the actual fraction. But if numbers are close to
century numbers for finding approximate values you can do otherwise too.
199/211
Step1:
Approximate Fraction= 200/200 =1/1 ( here i increased numerator by 1 and
decreased denominator by 11 => when any of numerator or denominator is
very close to century number or 50s you can do like this)
Step2:
Make denominator =200 ( decrease of 11)
Decrease in Numerator = 11 ( since approximate fraction is 1/1)
199/211 = 188/200 = 0.94
17/28
24/07/2016
Actual answer using calculator = 19999/21111 = 0.9473
Our answer = 0.94 ( you will be able to mark correct answer in DI question)
The deviation came because of two things.
1. Deletion of two Digits
2. Inappropriate Approximation ( Increase in numerator & Decrease in
Denominator)
But still , our answer is very close to actual one which is suicient to mark right
answer.

RAVI MISHRA 22 October 2014 at 16:55
Hello Sir,
If options are close. Be careful in step 2, i.e.while finding approximate fraction
you should be careful.
Basically in above question you are trying to find out % increase from 108 to
145=>
M.F. = 145/108
Approximate Ratio=> 145/108 ~ 144/108 ~ 4/3 ~ 1.3333
Make denominator = 100 ( decrease of 8)
Corresponding decrease in numerator = 8*1.33 = 10.67
145/108 = 134.33/100 = 1.3433
M.F. = 1.3433 => % INCREASE = 34.33% => Hence option D is correct.
Method2: Not always the method given in the article is shortest if you apply

Hi,
This is very easy if you observe carefuly.
53/81 will be slightly less than 54/81~2/3
2/3=66.67%.
So, Actually your answer will be slightly less than 66.67%.
So, you will be easily able to mark your answer.

Using Method given in Article,
Step1: Approximate ratio of 53/81 ~ 54/81~2/3
Step2: Make denominator 100.
Increase in denominator=19
Step3: Corresponding increase in numerator to keep ratio
Constant.
Increase in numerator=2/3*19=38/3=12.67
Step4: 53/81= (53+12.67)/(81+19)
. = 65.67/100
Answer 65.67%.
Answer using calculator = 65.432.
So, you got your answer very very close to actual value.
Which will be more than suicient to mark right answer

Hi Deborah,
In first example I le 5/9 as it is since in making denominator 1 you
need to divide 5 by 9 which will cosume some time so I le it.
While 3/10 can be written 0.3/1 in no time, so I wrote 0.3/1.
Making denominator 1 has its benefit while finding what is to

this method for then. ??.plz explain..
Reply
Replies
Hi Mohini,
Apologies for replying you so l8.
1) 96/625 => Never use above method when denominator is multiple of 25 => It
can easily be done by another method.
Always replace multiple of 25 as below to get the answer.
25 = 100/4 , 50 =100/2 , 75 = 300/4 ... ..... . ... . . .. . .625 = 10000/16
96/625 = 96/(10000/16) = 96*16/10000 = 1536/10000 = 0.1536 Answer.
2) 78/640 to solve this append one zero in numerator we will divide by 10 later.
780/640
2.1) Approximate Value ~ 800/640 = 5/4
2.2) Make denominator 600 => Decrease in denominator = 40.
2.2) Corresponding decrease in numerator should be = 50
2.3) 780/640 = (780-50)/(640-40)
= 730/600 = 1.2167
Actual Answer Using our method= 1.2167/10 = 0.12167.
Answer using Calculator =0.12187 :) :)

This method works well only when number of digits are same in numerator
and denominator or denominator is having more number of digits than
numerator. But if number of digits in numerator is more than denominator
there is more amount of error. So if options are very close and number of digits
in numerator is more than denominator avoid this method.

Hello Uva,
Extremely sorry for replying you too late.
This method works well when number of digits in denominator is equal to 3 or
more and numerator has equal or lesser number of digits than denominator. Or
you can say numerator should not be more than 10 times of denominator. Also
do not use this method for division of two digit numbers. In your question
numerator is approx three thousand times denominator that is y error is more.
Hope you get it. If not you can ask me on Twitter @Ask_RaMo for prompt reply.

Look this method is not so useful in two digit division since the approximation
we do may deviate a lot. So if you approximate it 15/25 you will get a closer
answer but 50/50 will give you wrong value. So better not to use this in two
digit division. Two digit divisions can be easily calculated using percentage to
fraction conversion. Read that article available on blog.

499/421 ~ 500/425 ~ 100/85 it means if you increase denominator by 85 numerator must be
increased by 100.
499/421 ~ /500 ( denominator increased by 79 numerator must be increased by 93
approx)....can u please explain the last line

700/4200 = 1/6
(672-7) / (4243-43) =0 .158

hello, sir..
thank you for such a nice method, but i am little bit confuse aer step 4
as in example 1 we get 507/900 = 0.5633 , is it with normal division i.e here 507/9 or same for
example 2, 145.2/500 is 145.2/5? or its anything else?

Hello sir nice article but there is one confusion in the above method this is what you've done
"So, if increase in numerator = 25 ;the value of fraction will not change. (since 25/45=5/9 as
discussed in step 3)"
here you have multiplied the value 5 by 5 and then added to numerator as you've got 45
24/28
24/07/2016
aer multiplying 9 by 5 it is OK.
but when I went thru the comments you are adding the value came aer multiplying the
ratio to the number
E.g.
Step3: Corresponding increase in numerator to keep ratio
Constant.
Increase in numerator=2/3*19=38/3=12.67
Step4: 53/81= (53+12.67)/(81+19)
. = 65.67/100
now here you have added 12.67.
please help me on this

In both case we have followed the same thing change in num/ change in den =
approximated ratio.
Even in the first case if you use deno = 45 you can calculate num by 5/9*45= 25
So, sometimes directly we know the numbers which are in approximate ratio
sometimes we calculate.

Thanks for the prompt reply Sir, you are doing a gr8 job
aer going by ur method on dividing 3699/2580 I've got 1.423 as answer.
and using calculator I got 1.433. So my question is is how to judge which option is the right
answer in case of close options as answers for e.g. in this case if the options were 1.413 ,
1.433, 1.403 and 1.443.

I was trying this method on this question
283574.976 36.079 x 11.976
options are
1970 , 2020 , 2070 , 2120 , 2270
and was not able to calculate the value.
Sir, pls explain how to do this and if there is any post related to approximation
please suggest.

Krishna,
Like 369/258 ~ 3/2 ( better approx in this case than 4/3 ) since num is more than
denominator better approx can be obtained if Numerator is increasing by more
value than den. Same in decrease case.
For such case there is another method too which can give u exact answer. I
have taught my students that method. Will try to write an article on it and
publish it asap.

Look if Numerator is lesser than denominator error % is maximum 0.5%. But if

denominator becomes lesser than numerator the error margin increases and if
answers are closer then good approximation of approximate fraction will hold
key for getting correct answer.
For second question you need to learn approx techniques which I will covering
in coming articles.

You can assume it 438/459 and find the answer.

Its necessary that if deno is increase than neum has to increase and vice versa

Payal,
The reason is that the better your approximate ratio is the better your final
answer will be. Increasing numerator tries to increase overall fraction while
increasing denominator tries to decrease overall fraction so when both are
increased or both are decreased there is balancing one is trying to increases
value and other is trying to decrease the value so approximate ratio is not
much deviated. That is why it is recommended to either increases both or
decrease both for better value of approximate ratio and hence better value of
final answer.
Regards,
RaMO

Solve for 4810/43150 => 4810/43100 (Removing 50 from denominator will not
impact overall answer it will be quiet accurate)
Now calculate 481/431 using division technique and then divide the final value
by 10 to get 481/4310

1) 12.36 * 18.15 + 21.52

RAVI MOHAN MISHRA

69.2 * 82.8 = 69.2 (80+2+ 0.8 )

Now if you calculate 69.2*80 then 69.2*0.8 is automatically calculated,

Hope you understood :)
