CUET PG Aptitude Numbers and Percentage Handwritten Notes, free to download as a 20-page PDF. The topic is worth about 6 to 10 marks and takes roughly one day to learn, so treat it as a single focused sitting.
The notes are scans of a real notebook: short lines, boxed rules, and a margin note wherever something is easy to get wrong.
CUET PG General Paper Structure
COQP11 carries 75 bilingual questions across five official sections. Unit 4 lists twenty-four aptitude sub-topics, and these notes take the money-and-number half of them.
| Unit | Official section |
|---|---|
| 1 | English Comprehension |
| 2 | General Knowledge/Awareness |
| 3 | Computer Basics |
| 4 | General Aptitude & Logical Reasoning |
| 5 | Logical Reasoning |
What the Notes Cover
- Simplification and BODMAS, where division and multiplication rank equally
- LCM and HCF, and the identity that holds for two numbers only
- The fraction-to-percentage table that replaces a calculator
- Averages, and why every average should become a total first
- Percentage, including successive changes and the net-change formula
- Profit and loss, discount, and keeping the two bases apart
- Simple and compound interest, and the two-year identity between them
- Partnerships, and stock and shares
How to Approach the Section
Percentage is the spine. Profit, loss, discount and interest are all percentage questions wearing different clothes, so getting percentages fluent means two thirds of the unit stops being separate topics to revise.
The habit worth building is setting the cost price to 100 whenever a question is entirely in percentages. It removes the algebra and turns most of these into arithmetic you can do in your head.
There is no calculator, so the fraction table on page 4 matters more than any formula. Reading 33.33% as one third rather than 0.3333 is what keeps a whole-number answer whole.
Common Mistakes
- Adding two successive percentage changes instead of compounding what remains
- Measuring a discount on the cost price. It sits on the marked price
- Reading an increase of 300% as three times rather than four
- Using the two-year compound-minus-simple formula on a three-year question
- Leaving months as months in the simple interest formula
- Averaging two averages when the groups are different sizes
- Taking a dividend on the market value. It is always on the face value

How to Use These Notes
Page 4 is the fraction table and page 18 the ten-line recall grid. Between them they are a workable revision on the morning of the exam.
Page 14 sorts the whole set into the five question shapes it is actually asked in, which is worth reading before any practice paper.
The companion set covers ratio, time and work, speed, mensuration and counting.
CUET PG Aptitude Numbers and Percentage Notes FAQs
Ques. What aptitude topics does CUET PG list?
Ans. Twenty-four sub-topics sit in Unit 4. They run from simplification, LCM and HCF, averages and percentage through profit and loss, discount, interest, partnerships and shares, then ratio, mixtures, time and work, pipes, speed, trains, ages, clocks and calendars, and finally geometry, mensuration, sets, and permutation and combination.
Ques. Is a calculator allowed?
Ans. No, which is why the fraction-to-percentage table in these notes matters. Converting a percentage to a fraction before multiplying is usually faster than working the decimal by hand.
Ques. Which single topic is worth most?
Ans. Percentage. Profit, loss, discount and both kinds of interest are all built on it, so fluency there covers a large part of the unit at once.
Ques. Do successive discounts add up?
Ans. No. Multiply what survives each time. Discounts of 20% then 10% leave 0.8 times 0.9, which is a single discount of 28%, not 30%.
Ques. Can the notes be downloaded free?
Ans. Yes. All 20 pages can be read on this page and downloaded at no cost.
