choose4me: I got this on my department group.. Might come in handy for applicants. Goodluck _______________________________________________
PostUtme candidates, I think this will help you. If you are in possession of a book which contains past Post Ume questions, then you must have come across some sort of Maths questions which seem too strange and time-consuming. Do not feel disgruntled. There are easy ways to walk your way through these. Let me give you an example: If today is Tuesday, what day would it be in the next 50 days?. ...... Here is the solution: First, you need to know that if you keep adding 7 days to that Tuesday, you will keep getting Tuesday. For example, today is Thursday, 7 days from now would be Thursday, 14 days from now would still be Thursday, and so on. No matter what, adding 7 days would keep giving you Thursday. OKAY? Same goes with Tuesday and any other day. So, if you are given this sort of question above: "If today is Tuesday, What day would it be in the next 50 days?". Just divide 50 by 7 and add the remainder to Tuesday. It would be like this: 50/7 = 7 Remainder 1. The remainder 1 means you should count one day from Tuesday. Hence, the answer would be a WEDNESDAY. You see? Not that hard. There are easy ways to calculate all these sort of questions without wasting your time. WISHING YOU GOODLUCK!!!
