Hello all,
I have undertaken a project in design and implementation of algorithms
for solving quantitative ability problems. I am facing two major
roadblocks, first one being to decide whether i should make a
mathematical model of the problem and then proceed to solve it or take
the problem in English as an input. Secondly, what could be the
demarcations in these problems to make the problem set less vague?

I'd suggest starting with a bit less vague posts. As it stands, you 
provide almost no information about your problem, therefore giving any 
informed advice is impossible.
