SD Bala is good book at some point it does not cover total concepts and is also tough to study

I donot know much about Sridhar

So I suggest the JB Gupta

i want only 1 book of these 3 . no other options plz. i have seen lot of discussions earlier on this topic. but only a student who has read this books can give a clear viewpoint. he already has studied makkar sir notes 2 or 3 times and he will prepare for final from makkar sir's notes. he just wants a book for few topics like derivatives and forex concepts. his exam due in nov 2012

language is some what hard and also technical.

If u can understandstand that than no problem, otherwise it will be of much difficulty

I also heard that in numericals their are also much mistakes

I am not saying that BALA Sir is bad but its language is somewhat typical IT DOES NOT COVER THE TOTAL SYLLABUS

SO FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW I SAY THAT JB GUPTA IS BETTER

(Guest)

hi gopal.its language is much easier to understand but yes it does not cover certain small chapters but major chunk is being covered.one can always use S.D bala for concepts and J.B gupta for practise.i m dong the same.
