Important things for elitmus exam preparation students
You can DOWNLOAD e-Litmus question papers and some reference books from the DOWNLOAD section & use them as reference or mock test for your upcoming e-Litmus test
Important things must follow by students who want to crack elitmus
1. Paper level is very tough. elitmus exam is a mock for CAT students.
2. Don’t try to attempt lot of questions.
3. 10 per section in elitmus is ideal attempt to exam.
4. For problem solving section, best scoring part is cryptoarithmetic questions. Try as many question as you have. For crypto arithmetic question don’t refer any books. Just follow this site
If your cryptoarithemetic question are correct then your problem solving section is completed. In DI problem, you can’t write all the questions in time. It is highly impossible.
5. For verbal section, best scoring area is ‘verb form’ type questions. For example download elitmus paper. Now, coming to paragraph questions. Almost 12 questions are there, it is the best scoring area.
6. For quant section, nothing I can tell about quant because it’s totally jumbles. They cover almost all topics.
Books to use:
1. TIME material is OK but not preferable. If you are beginner, it is the best book.
2. arun Sharma is the best book. but leave advance level . solve only average level that will be enough for elitmus.
At last, if you attempt 30 questions in a elitmus exam. If 20 were correct then you can make it. Almost 90 percentile above is in your hand.
Last important thing is sectional percentile is important. So, don’t attempt 20 questions from one section and 10 from another section.
3.If anyone written twice or thrice. Best one will be consider.
4. If anyone got any call give reply it either deny or accept but don't leave it because They never call you again for the same company.
Books are available in the Download Section of this Site.
Here We demostrate a small example...............
Let's understand the way how we will solve these questions with an example:
Let's understand the way how we will solve these questions with an example:
F A C
* H E I
-----------------
E E A G
C J F E
D I J D
------------------
E B F E F G
Step 1:
Determine the characters which can be 0. Although this may not be useful in all cases but keeping the track of it may be useful in many cases.
In our example the multiplicand is FAC and multiplier is HEI
Rule 1: Any leading character will not be 0, so neither of F/H/E/C/D is 0
Rule 2: If any digit among E/I in multiplier is 0 then the corresponding row in multiplication will be all the same digit,
but in our case no row is either EEE/III so neither of E/I is 0
Rule 3: In multiplicand FAC, if C is 0 then the first,second and third row of multiplication will contain the trailing character as C,
but we don't have trailing character in all row as C, so C is no 0
Result of Rule 1, Rule 2 and Rule 3: Characters which can be 0 are - A/B/G/J
Note: Although the rule says that A can be 0 but if you come across situation where you need to consider one among these suspected character as 0,
then consider A(middle character of multiplicand) in the last. Or you can assume it to be non zero for simplicity.
Concluding the step 1: None of the character among multiplier, multiplicand and all leading character in each row will be 0.
So Characters which can be 0 are - B/G/J
Step 2:
Find whether we have any of the following property(in general for all problems):
I * C = I
I * C = C
E * C = E
E * C = C
H * C = H
H * C = C
Remember, they will give problem which has one of these property and this will be starting point of our approach to solve it.
We see that we have the property E * C = E
Now from the rule 3 and 4 we notice that either E is 5 and C is an odd number or E is an even number and C is 6
We will now proceed with the first case when E is 5 and C is an odd number and will consider the second case if we are not able to solve by this assumption.
Also we will have to think differently from here for each problem but practising more and more problem will make it easier.
F A C
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 A G
C J F 5
D I J D
---------------
5 B F 5 F G
Now look carefully, the last column from left says: D + carry = 5. Now think what could be the maximum carry from the last sum C + I = B ?
Remember the sum of two number will never give a carry more than 1 and sum of three numbers will never give a carry more than 2 except in one case:
U V W
* X Y Z
-------------
9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
9 9 9 9
-------------
1 1 0 9 8 8 9
Here the 2nd column from left gives a carry equals to 2 when both numbers of the column are same and are equal to 9(not in our case)
So we see that in D + carry = 5, the carry must be 1 and hence D has to be 4
F A C
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 A G
C J F 5
4 I J 4
-------------
5 B F 5 F G
Also C can be either 3/7/9 and can't be 1 because if C was 1 then trailing character of each row would have been I,5 and H respectively.
Try to minimize the number of values that a character can have. Let's do it for C.
Focus on all C in our problem and see how they are generated. Look at second row of multiplication where:
F A C
* 5
--------
C J F 5
This multiplication give a number which will always be smaller than 5000 so C can be 3 only.
F A 3
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 A G
3 J F 5
4 I J 4
-------------
5 B F 5 F G
Focus on the second row of multiplication again:
F A 3
* 5
--------
3 J F 5
We can see that F can be either 6 or 7.
Let's proceed with F = 6 and will consider F = 7 if we are stuck and are not able to proceed with F = 6
6 A 3
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 A G
3 J 6 5
4 I J 4
-------------
5 B 6 5 6 G
Now see the second column from right A+5=6, which implies that A must be 1 and since we haven't gotten any character yet with value 1,
accept the value and proceed further.
6 1 3
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 1 G
3 J 6 5
4 I J 4
-------------
5 B 6 5 6 G
6 1 3
* 5
--------
3 J 6 5
=> J = 0
6 1 3
* H 5 I
-------------
5 5 1 G
3 0 6 5
4 I 0 4
-------------
5 B 6 5 6 G
6 1 3
* H
--------
4 I 0 4
=> H must be 8 so that when multiplying H with 3 gives unit place digit as 4.
6 1 3
* 8 5 I
-------------
5 5 1 G
3 0 6 5
4 I 0 4
-------------
5 B 6 5 6 G
6 1 3
* 8
--------
4 I 0 4
=> I = 9
6 1 3
* 8 5 9
-------------
5 5 1 G
3 0 6 5
4 9 0 4
-------------
5 B 6 5 6 G
From above we can easily find that G = 7 and B = 2
6 1 3
* 8 5 9
-------------
5 5 1 7
3 0 6 5
4 9 0 4
------------
5 2 6 5 6 7
Rules for solving Cryptarithmetic Problems
Each Letter or Symbol represents only one digit throughout the problem
When letters are replaced by their digits,the resultant arithmetical operation must be correct.
Our aim is to find the value of each letter.
No two letters represent the same digit (If A = 2, B cannot be 2 and so on).
Number can't begin with 0
Rules are:
1. 0 * n = 0
2. 1 * n = n
3. 5 * odd number = x5
like 5 * 1 = 05 (x = 0)
5 * 3 = 15 (x = 1)
5 * 7 = 35 (x = 3)
5 * 9 = 45 (x = 4)
4. 5 * even number = always 0
like 5 * 2 = 0
5 * 4 = 0
5 * 6 = 0
5 * 8 = 0
5.. even number * 6 = (x)(even number) where x can be 1/2/4
like 2 * 6 = 12 (x = 1)
4 * 6 = 24 (x = 2)
8 * 6 = 35 (x = 4)

ADVICE: DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF!
Every year more than four lac graduates are coming out of the college in India. Majority of them are engineers and no campus placement in most of the college. The students are moving to IT cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Noida for searching better career.
Many companies don’t have any job opportunities. So students are looking for best exams like Elitmus, Amcat exam in order to get the best career in good company with higher pay package.
Elitmus is one of the competitive exam for entry level engineers. it is one of the India’s largest assessment and recruitment test. Elitmus exam should not be taken lightly and it is really not easy to score more percentile. Its is equivalent to CAT exam. This exam is based on three categories, Aptitude, Logical reasoning and Verbal Ability.
Here is the list of sample paper which I found on the internet after a lot is search. However you should know elitmus does not provide any sample paper or material to prepare. They even take the question paper back at the exam center.
