2 exam question types, fully solvedA table is just a grid of numbers — rows and columns. The only new skill is reading the right cell; after that it is the same total, share, ratio and percentage work as before.
• Row vs column: a row follows one category across all years; a column shows one year across all categories. Underline what is asked before you touch the numbers.
• “Aggregate / taken together / in all” simply means add the right row or column.
• Average across a row: . To work backwards from a given average, use sum .
• Cumulative (“X or above”) tables already include everyone higher up — read “30 or above” straight off; never add the rows. For an exact band, subtract two columns.
• Percent of a row total: take the percent first, then keep going (e.g. of the population, then split by a ratio).

2 question types · 7 solved examples from real SSC papersA table is a grid of numbers — the only skill is reading the right cell, then adding a row/column and applying share, ratio, % change or average.
- Row vs column: the row tells you one category across all years (or items); the column tells you one year across all categories. Underline what the question asks for before you compute.
- Aggregate (“taken together / in all”): add the right row or column — nothing fancier.
- Then it is the same four moves: total, share , ratio (cancel), or % change .
- For a percent OF a population, first take that percent of the row total, then keep going.
