A seventeen-year-old youth from a village in Madhya Pradesh has entered the Limca Book of Records by solving complex mathematical sums correctly in a very short time.
Rishabh Kaneria, who recently passed his 12th std examination, told reporters here that he set a record by solving ten arithmetical sums which involved dividing a ten-digit number by a five-digit number within a mere 2 minutes and 21.5 seconds in a test conducted by an official of Limca Book of Records at Visakhapatnam in June last year.
He received a certificate from Limca Book of Records in this regard recently.
Kaneria hails from Shujalpur village of Shajapur district. He said he aims to join the IIT.
