-->In analytical,
->5 qns on venn diagrams
->5 on seating arrangement
->some data sufficiency prob.s
->6 to 7 like 1 represents $,0 represents *(for this u need fast calculation)
->4 qns on cubes.(This is not simple.i didn\'t do this.see cubes prob.s in R.S.Aggarwal)
->And 4 r normal aptitude qns.(u can do this very easily)
***For this section, prepare R.S.Aggarwal quant and verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
