Hi, from my personal opinion I would recommend you to prefer Arun Sharma for QA and LR/DI but for other sections I would recommend you to read alot and to search for rules/shortcuts/methods related to grammer to enchance your overall score with respect to RC/VA...I believe that QA/LR can be a short time process to increase your skills but for RC/VA you need to have medium-term to long-term skills...If you have less time then allocate your time in preference to decrease order of any section which you are comfortable with (ex: give more time to sections about which you are not at all aware about but give more time to those with the topics you are comfortable about...I hope this answer helps you to excels
