Simplification Questions For Bank Exams 2025

Simplification questions are a crucial part of the Quantitative Aptitude section in most bank exams, including IBPS PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS RRB, and others. These questions are designed to test a candidate’s speed and accuracy in solving basic arithmetic operations. A strong command over simplification not only helps in securing good marks in the maths section but also boosts overall confidence during the exam. With proper practice and time-saving tricks, candidates can easily master this high-scoring area in Bank Exams 2025.

Simplification Questions For Bank Exams 2025

Simplification is the most important topic in quantitative aptitude, now you wonder how? So here is the answer. In a total of 35 questions in the bank prelims exam, if 10-15 questions are being asked from the simplification, you can easily clear the quantitative aptitude with better practice and speed. For your practice, we have provided some simplification questions for bank exams 2025 with a relatable difficulty level. 

Rules For Solving Simplification Questions:

1. Learn the basics first as it will help them to increase their speed. Some of the things that aspirants have to learn and practice daily are:

• Tables up to 25
• Cubes up to 25
• Squares up to 25
• Fractions up to 25
• Solve the simplification by using the VBODMAS rule i.e
  V → Vinculum
  B → Remove Brackets – in the order ( ), { }, [ ]O → Of
  D → Division
  M → Multiplication
  A → Addition
  S → Subtraction

The above topics will help candidates to easily solve this topic in much less time with more accuracy.

2. It is important for a candidate to solve at least 10-20 questions on a daily basis and try to do most of the everyday calculations on their own. Try to randomly solve higher and bigger digits in their shorter form. Aspirants can check the Cricket Scores that are quite big in numbers, and try to perform Average, Subtraction, Multiplications etc. Candidates can only increase their calculations by practising as much as they can.

3.  There are different tricks to solve questions on Simplification and Approximation. Learn from the Adda247 experts or also develop their methods to reduce the efforts and calculation of a question.

4. There is no substitute for practice and as the saying goes the more you practice, the better you become. It is with the help of practice that the candidate, at times, can find the correlation in some calculations, can observe a pattern, and might develop a few tips and tricks on his own to solve that particular question.

Mistakes to Avoid in Simplification Problems

While simplification questions may seem straightforward, even small errors can cost valuable marks in competitive bank exams. To solve these questions accurately and efficiently, it’s important to avoid common pitfalls that many candidates make under pressure. Here are some key mistakes to watch out for:

Skipping BODMAS Rule: Ignoring the correct order of operations can lead to wrong answers. Always follow the BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) rule strictly.

Overlooking Signs: A common mistake is missing negative signs or misreading plus/minus signs during calculations, especially when solving quickly. Always double-check signs in each step.

Poor Time Management: Spending too much time on a single simplification problem can reduce your chances of attempting other easy questions. Learn to identify and skip time-consuming ones if needed.

Calculation Errors: Simple errors in addition, subtraction, or decimal placement can lead to incorrect answers. Regular practice helps build accuracy and speed in basic calculations.

Not Practising Shortcuts: Relying solely on traditional methods without learning basic shortcuts and tricks can slow you down. Using methods like Vedic maths or digit summation can speed up calculations.
