Here the table is simple with just 5-7 values.
What if the case is to more than 10 values and the range is less than 15 which is usually in exams like cat and in the latest format of cat it is very tough to manage time as we all know that the time limit is just 1.7minutes.
Then how could we waste the time in adding all those 10-15 numbers.
Is there any shortcuts for adding lot many as I mentioned the range.
