I have been doing DS for a while now but not confident. I came across the terms like.
N variables and n equations
independent and dependent equations
solving for the value of an equation
Please advice me the working knowledge and how to best tackle DS questions.
Thanks

I think DS is about conceptual clarity in Math. Once you gain that, then doing the questions is not very difficult. Initially I too had difficulty tackling DS questions but after a good amount of practice, things became more manageable
