Difficulty: easy

Solve for the letters. Each letter is a unique integer between 1 and 20. (1) A × 2 = B (2) A + B = 18

The answer is A=6,B=12.

Step 1: From equation 1, B = A × 2. Step 2: Substitute into equation 2: A + (A × 2) = 18. Step 3: Simplify: 3A = 18, so A = 6. Step 4: Calculate B: B = 6 × 2 = 12. Verification: 6 + 12 = 18. ✓

The answer is .

Target Cell: Row 2, Column 1 Step 1: Analyze the immediate row and column constraints. • Visible in Row 2: D (Col 4), B (Col 5) • Visible in Column 1: A (Row 3), C (Row 5) Step 2: Eliminate duplicates. Since a Latin Square requires each letter to appear exactly once per row and column, we can immediately eliminate A, B, C, D. This leaves the following possibilities for our target cell: E. Step 3: Final Conclusion. Since E is the only letter remaining that doesn't violate the row and column rules, the correct answer must be E.

Do you need to take the dMAT?

The dMAT is not universal. It applies to selected Indian Master's applicants depending on your previous degree discipline and target semester.

✓
Mandatory For Selected Fields

✓ Engineering Graduates (All branches)
✓ Commerce & Economics (including Accounting and Finance)
✓ Business & Management
✓ Master's applicants starting Summer 2027 or later

✗
Exempt Categories

✗ Bachelor's and PhD applicants
✗ Standalone B.Sc. in CS / BCA / IT / AI-ML / Cyber Security (Unless APS explicitly classifies your degree as Engineering)
✗ Life Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Law, Medicine, Architecture
✗ Students who completed APS verification before 29 June 2026

Degree classifications can vary. Always confirm your specific previous-degree classification directly with APS India before booking your test.

Why the dMAT requires targeted preparation

It doesn't test what you memorized in university. It tests cognitive processing speed and working memory under strict test-centre constraints.

No Calculator, No Scratch Paper

Every mathematical equation and complex logic grid must be solved entirely in your head. You cannot draw intermediate steps, making working memory management critical.
