Preparation for SBI exam - Part 2

So much for thinking Science questions were difficult to attempt.
Who invented the elevator - We see Otis written outside the lifts that we use day in and day out, bit difficult for someone who cannot see it.
Who invented pneumatic tyres - We see ads for Dunlop tyres on TV, easy for us to remember. Hm.. not so easy for others

Next came Economics:
2003-04 what was inflation rate? what percentage of land is covered by forest area? 9th five year plan what was the total outlay.. blah blah blah ...
Came to one question, What was the per-capita income of Punjab in the year... and he promptly said 325. I was stunned as it was the correct answer.
"Mohan - how did u answer that, did you know the number or was it a guess?"
"Ah, that was just a guess" he said and both of us burst out laughing :D

Then came the terror of all terrors quantitative reasoning. Question 1) 786 * 64 / 48 = ?
Time for the expert, my mom - to take over.
It took about 5 minutes to get the braille board set. Another 2 to figure out how this equation was to be written. Then was the hardest part, how to solve!
Class seven was the last time that Mohan had studied mathematics. So we had to go back to the basics. Took examples of 2*15/10. Considered multiplication tables, discussed the concept of cancelling common multiples in the numerator and denominator to finally solve the problem.
This week, after work everyday, Mohan will spend revising tables. More mathematics next weekend.
He is such a bright candidate, I want him to do well. Lets see.
