(i) We say that x is directly proportional to y, if x = ky for

some constant k and we write, x y.
(ii) We say that x is inversely proportional to y, if xy = k

and consequent = 9.

The multiplication or division of each term of a ratio by

the same non-zero number does not affect the ratio.

for some constant k and we write, x

e.g. 4 : 5 = 8 : 10 = 12 : 15 etc. Also, 4 : 6 = 2 : 3.

Ex.1 If a : b = 5 : 9 and b : c = 4 : 7, find a : b : c.

Proportion :
The equality of two ratios is called proportion.
If a : b = c : d, we write, a : b : : c : d and we say that a, b,
c, d are in proportion.
where, a is called first proportional, b is called second
proportional, c is called third proportional and d is
called fourth proportional.

Law of Proportion :
Product of means = Product of extremes
Thus, if a : b : : c : d (b c) = (a d),
Here a and d are called extremes, while b and c are
called mean terms.

Ex.7 The cost of Type 1 rice is Rs.15 per kg and Type 2 rice
is Rs.20 per kg. If both type-1 and type-2 are mixed in
ratio of 2 : 3 , then find the price per kg of the mixed
variety of rice.
Sol. Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg.
By the rule of alligation, we have :

Cost of 1 kg of Type 1 rice

coins of each type.

Sol. Let the number of 50 p, 25 p and 10 p coins be 5x, 9x

Rs. 15

x = 40.
Number of 50 p coins = (5 40) = 200;
Number of 25 p coins = (9 40) = 360;
Number of 10 p coins = (4 40) = 160.

Ex.6 If a man goes from a place A to another place B 100 m

apart in 4 hours at a certain speed. With the same
speed going from B to C 400 m apart, what time will he
take ?
Sol. d = st, where d is distance in m, s is speed in m/sec.,
t is time in seconds. Speed is same d t
New distance is 4 times, now the time will be 4 times
the time it takes from A to B .So, the time taken from B
to C is 4 4 = 16 hours.

Alligation : It is the rule that enables us to find the ratio

in which two or more ingredients at the given price
must be mixed to produce a mixture of a desired price.
Mean Price : The cost price of a unit quantity of mixture
is called the mean price.
Rule of Alligation : If two ingredients are mixed, then,
Quantity of cheaper
C.P. of dearer Mean price

Quantity of dearer

Ex.9 Tea worth Rs.126 per kg and Rs.135 per kg are mixed
with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is
worth Rs. 153 per kg, then find the price of the third
variety per kg.
Sol. Since first and second varieties are mixed in equal
126 135

proportions, so their average price = Rs.

= Rs.130.50
So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one
at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg
in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find x.

Distribution of Profit/Loss when unequal capital is

invested for equal interval of time :
When partners invest different amounts of money, for
equal interval of time, then profit/loss is divided in the
ratio of their investment.

A statement involving variable (s) and the sign of inequality

viz, >,< or is called an inequation.
An inequation may contain one or more variables.
Also, it may be linear or quadratic or cubic etc.
(i) 3x 2 < 0

(ii) 2x2 + 3x + 4 > 0

(iii) 2x + 5y 4

Let a be a non-zero real number and x be a variable.

Then inequations of the form ax + b < 0, ax + b 0,
ax + b > 0 and ax + b 0 are known as linear inequations
in one variable x.
For example, 9x 15 > 0, 5x 4 0, 3x + 2 < 0 and
2x 3 0 are linear inequations in one variable.

(a) Properties of inequalities

(a) Solving linear inequations in one variable

(i) If a is a positive no. i.e. a > 0 then for x < y

Rule 1: Same number may be added to (or subtracted

from) both side of an inequation without changing the
sign of inequality.

x y

& ax < ay..

a a

(ii) If a is ve i.e. a < 0 then for x < y

x y
& ax > ay..
a a

(iii) If a is a +ve no. i.e. a > 0 then for x > y

Rule 3 : Any term of an inequation may be taken to the

other side with its sign changed without affecting the
sign of inequality.

x y
& ax > ay..
a a

(iv) If a is a ve no. i.e. a < 0 then for x > y

x y

& ax < ay..

a a

(i) Closed interval : Let a and b be two given real

numbers such that a < b. Then the set of all real
numbers x such that a x b is called closed interval
and is denoted by [a, b] may be graphed as :

(ii) Open interval : If a and b are two real numbers

such that a < b, then the set of all real numbers
x satisfying a < x < b is called an open interval and is
denoted by (a, b) or ]a, b[ and may be graphed as :

Rule 2 : Both sides of an inequation can be multiplied

(or divided) by the same positive real number without
changing the sign of inequality. However, the sign of
inequality is reversed when both sides of an inequation
are multiplied or divided by a negative number.

(iii) Semi-closed or semi-open interval : If a and b are

two real numbers such that a < b, then the sets
(a, b] = {x R : a < x b} and [a, b) = {x R : a x < b} are
known as semi-open or semi-closed intervals. (a, b]

Ex. 1 Solve the inequality ax > a.

Sol. This inequality has the parameter a that needs to be
investigated further.
If a > 0, then x > 1
If a < 0, then x < 0
Ex.2 Solve : 24 x < 100 when
(i) x is a natural number
Sol. We are given 24 x < 100

(ii) x is an integer.

24 x 100

(i) When x is a natural number, the following values of
x make the statement true. 1, 2, 3, 4.
(ii) When x is an integer, the solutions of the given
equations are ...., 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
The solution set of the equation is :
{ ..., 3, 2, 1, 0,1, 2, 3, 4}.

Ex.3 Solve & graph the solution set of 3x + 6 9

and 5x > 15, x R.
Sol. 3x + 6 9 and 5x > 15
3x 3 x > 3
x1
x<3
Combining the solution

and [a, b) are also denoted by ]a, b] and [a, b[

respectively.

and 2 3 . However, if a, b, c are irrational numbers
and b2 4ac is positive but not a perfect square, then
the roots may not occur in conjugate pairs.

If b2 4ac is negative (D < 0), then the roots are complex

conjugate of each other. In fact, complex roots of an
equation with real coefficients always occur in conjugate
pairs like 2 + 3i and 2 3i. However, this may not be true
in case of equations with complex coefficients.
For example, x2 2ix 1 = 0 has both roots equal to i.

If a and c are of the same sign and b has a sign opposite

to that of a as well as c, then both the roots are positive,
the sum as well as the product of roots is positive

SEQUENCE
A sequence is an arrangement of numbers in a
definite order according to some rule.
e.g. (i) 2, 5, 8, 11, ...
(ii) 4, 1, 2, 5, ...
(iii) 3, 9, 27, 81, ...
Types of Sequence
On the basis of the number of terms there are two
types of sequence :

No. of Terms
For 3 terms

a d, a, a + d

a 3d, a d, a + d, a + 3d

2d

For 5 terms

a 2d, a d, a, a + d, a + 2d

For 6 terms

SUM OF n TERMS OF AN A.P.

Let A.P. be a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d,............., a + (n 1)d
Then,
Sn = a + (a + d) +...+ {a + (n 2) d} + {a + (n 1) d} ..(i)
also
Sn= {a + (n 1) d} + {a + (n 2) d} +....+ (a + d) + a ..(ii)
Add (i) & (ii)

(ii) Infinite sequences : A sequence is said to be

infinite if it has infinite number of terms.

2Sn = 2a + (n 1)d + 2a + (n 1)d +....+ 2a + (n 1)d

PROGRESSIONS
Those sequence whose terms follow certain patterns
are called progressions. Generally there are three types
of progressions.

GENERAL FORM OF AN A.P.

If we denote the starting number i.e. the 1st number by
a and a fixed number to be added is d then
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d,........... forms an A.P.
th

n FORM OF AN A.P.
Let A.P. be a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d,...........
Then, First term (a1) = a + 0.d
Second term (a2) = a + 1.d
Third term (a3)
= a + 2.d

nth term (an)

an = a + (n 1) d is called the nth term.
th

m TERM OF AN A.P. FROM THE END

Let a be the 1st term and d be the common difference
of an A.P. having n terms. Then mth term from the end
is (n m + 1)th term from beginning or {n (m 1)}th
term from beginning.

SELECTION OF TERMS IN AN A.P.

Sometimes we require certain number of terms in A.P.
The following ways of selecting terms are generally
very convenient.

Common Difference

For 4 terms

(i) Finite sequences : A sequence is said to be

finite if it has finite number of terms.

A sequence is called an A.P., if the difference of a term

and the previous term is always same.
i.e. d = tn + 1 tn = Constant for all n N. The constant
difference, generally denoted by d is called the
common difference.

Terms

rth term of an A.P. when sum of first r terms is Sr is

given by, tr = Sr Sr 1.

PROPERTIES OF A.P.
(i) For any real number a and b, the sequence whose
nth term is an = an + b is always an A.P. with common
difference a (i.e. coefficient of term containing n).
(ii) If a constant term is added to or subtracted from
each term of an A.P. then the resulting sequence is
also an A.P. with the same common difference.
(iii) If each term of a given A.P. is multiplied or divided
by a non-zero constant K, then the resulting
sequence is also an A.P. with common difference
d
respectively. Where d is the common
K
difference of the given A.P.

Kd or

(iv) In a finite A.P. the sum of the terms equidistant

from the beginning and end is always same and is
equal to the sum of 1st and last term.
(v) If three numbers a, b, c are in A.P. , then 2b = a + c.
Arithmetic Mean (Mean or Average) (A.M.)
If three terms are in A.P. then the middle term is
called the A.M. between the other two, so if a, b, c
are in A.P., b is A.M. of a & c.
A.M. for any n number a 1, a 2,..., a n is;
A=

a1 a 2 a 3 ..... a n

NOTE :
G.P. is a sequence of numbers whose first term is
non zero & each of the succeeding terms is equal
to the preceding term multiplied by a constant. Thus
in a G.P. the ratio of successive terms is constant.

SETS
Ex. 5 Write the set A = {0,1,4,9,16,........} in set builder form.
Sol. A = {x2 : x Z).
A well defined collection of objects is known as sets.
If a is an element of a set A, then we write a A and
say a belongs to A. If a does not belong to A, then a A
is written.
For example : The collection of all states in the Indian
union is a set but collection of good cricket players of
India is not a set, since the term good player is vague
and it is not well defined.

Ex.6 Write the set X = {1,

1

, ........} in the set

builder form.
Sol. W e observe that the elements of set X are the
reciprocals of the squares of all natural numbers. So,

the set X in set builder form is X = 2 ; n N .

n

Some letters are reserved for the sets as listed

below :
N : For the set of Natural numbers.

(a) Empty Set :

Z : For the set of Integers.

A set is said to be empty or null or void set if it has no

element and it is denoted by or { }.

Z+ :For the set of all positive Integers.

Q : For the set of all Rational numbers.
+

Q : For the set of all positive Rational numbers.

R : For the set of all Real numbers.
R+ : For the set of all Positive real numbers.
C : For the set of all Complex numbers.

A set is often described in the following two ways :

(a) Roster Method :
In this method a set is described by listing elements,
separated by commas, within braces { }.
Ex.1 Write the set of vowels of English alphabet in roster
form.
Sol. A = {a, e, i, o, u}.
Ex.2 Write the set of even natural numbers in roster form.
Sol. B = {2,4,6,.....}.
Ex.3 Write the set of all prime numbers less than 11 in
roster form.
Sol. C = {2,3,5,7}.
Ex.4 Write the set A = {x z, x2 < 20} in the roster from.
Sol. We observe that the squares of integers 0, 1, 2, 3,
4 are less than 20. Therefore, the set A in roster form
i s A = { 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

NOTE :
The order in which the element are written in a set
makes no difference.
(b) Set Builder Method :
In this method, a set is described by a characterizing
property P(x) of its elements x. In such a case the set
is described by {x : P(x) holds } or, {x | P(x) holds,}
which is read as the set of all x such that P(x) holds.
The symbol | or : is read as such that.

Ex. 7 Write {x N : 5 < x < 6} in roster form.

Sol. A = { }.
(b) Singleton Set :
A set consisting of a single element is called a
singleton set.
Ex. 8 Write the set {x : x N and x2 = 9} in roster form.
Sol. Let B is the set. So B is a singleton set equal to {3}.
(c) Finite Set :
A set is called a finite set if it is either void set or its
element can be listed (counted labelled) by natural
numbers 1, 2, 3 ....... and the process of listing
terminates at a certain natural number n (say).
For example : Set of all persons on the earth is a finite
set.
(d) Infinite Set :
A set whose elements cannot be listed by natural
numbers 1, 2, 3,...... for any natural number n is called
an infinite set.
For example : Set of all points in a plane is an infinite
set.
Ex. 9 Which of the following sets are finite and which are
infinite ?
(a) Set of concentric circle in a plane.
(b) Set of letters of English alphabets.
(c) { x N, x > 5 }
(d) { x R, 0 < x < 1 }
(e) { x N, x < 200}
Sol. (a) Infinite set
(b) Finite set
(c) Infinite set
(d) Infinite set
(e) Finite set
(e) Cardinal Number of a Finite Set :
The number n in the above definition is called the
cardinal number or order of a finite set A and is denoted
by n(A).

PAGE # 1313

(f) Equivalents Set :

Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal
numbers are same. i.e. n(A) = n(B).
For example : A = {1,2,3} and B = {a,b,c} are equivalent
sets.
(g) Equal Set :
Two sets A and B are said to be equal if every element
of A is a member of B, and every element of B is
member of A.
NOTE :
Equal sets are equivalents but equivalent sets need
not be equal.
Ex. 10 Are the following sets equal ?
A = { x : x is a letter in the word reap }
B = { x : x is a letter in the word paper }.
Sol. A = { r, e, a, p}
B = { p, a, e, r }
So, A and B are equal sets.
(h) Subset :
Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an
element of B, then A is called a subset of B. If A is a
subset of B, we write A B, which is read as A is a
subset of B or A is contained in B. Thus,
A B if a A a B. The symbol stands for
implies. If A is not a subset of B, we write
A B.
NOTE :
Every set is a subset of itself and the empty set is

proper subset of B if A B and we write A B.

SOME RESULTS ON SUBSET :
(i) Every set is a subset of itself
(ii) The empty set is a subset of every set.
(iii) The total number of subsets of a finite set
containing n element is 2n.

(a) Union of Sets :

Let A and B be two sets. The union of A and B is the set
of all those elements which belong either to A or to B
or to both A and B.
Thus, A B = { x : x A or x B}.

(i) Universal Set :

A set that contains all sets in a given context is called
the Universal Set.
Ex.11 If A = {1,2,3}, B = {2,4,5,6} and C = {1,3,5,7}, then find
the universal set.
Sol. U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} can be taken as the universal
set.
( j) Power Set :
Let A be a set. Then the collection or family of all
subsets of A is called the power set of A and is denoted
by P(A).

Ex.14 If A {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 3, 5, 7}, then find A B.

Sol. A B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7}.
(b) Intersection of Sets :
Let A and B be two sets. The intersection of A and B is
the set of all those elements that belong to both A and B.

Ex.12 Let A = {1,2,3}. Then find the power set of A.

Sol. Subset of A are : , {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3} and
{1,2,3}.
Hence, total number of subset are = 23 = 8.
Hence, P(A) ={ {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3} }.
Thus, A B = {x : x A and x B}.
PAGE # 1414

Ex.15 If A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } and B = { 1, 3, 9, 12 }, then

find A
Sol. A = { 1, 3 }.
(c) Disjoint Sets :
Two sets A and B are said to be disjoint, if A B = .
If A B , then A and B are said to be intersecting or
overlapping sets.
(d) Difference of Sets :
Let A and B be two sets. The difference of A and B,
written as A B, is the set of all those elements of
A which do not belong to B.

Ex.18 Let U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }, A = { 1, 2, 3, 4 },
B = { 2, 4, 6, 8 } and C = { 3, 4, 5, 6 }. Find

Sol. (i) A = U A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
= { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }.
(ii) ( A C )c = U ( A C )
= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } { 3, 4 }
= { 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }.
(iii) ( A B )c = U ( A B )
= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } { 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 } = { 5, 7, 9 }.
(iv) (B C)c = U ( B C )
= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } { 2, 8 } = { 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 }.

AB
A

Thus, A B = {x : x A and x B}
or,
A B = {x A : x B}.
Clearly, x A B x A and x B.
Similarly, the difference B A is the set of all
those elements of B that do not belong to A
i.e. B A = {x B : x A}.
u

Ex.16 If A = { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } and B = { 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 }, then

find A B and B A.
Sol. A B = { 2, 4, 6 } and B A = { 9, 11, 13 }.
(e) Symmetric Difference of Two Sets :
Let A and B be two sets. The symmetric difference of
sets A and B is the set (A B) (B A) and is denoted
by A B.

Ex.17 If A = { x R : 0 < x < 3 }, B = { x R : 1 x 5 }, then

find A B.
Sol. A B = { x R : 0 < x < 1 }, B A = { x R : 3 x 5 }
AB= {xR:0<x<1}{xR:3 x 5}
A B = { x R : 0 < x < 1 or 3 x 5 }.
(f) Complement of a Set :
Let U be the universal set and let A be a set such that
A U. Then, the complement of A with respect to U is
denoted by A or Ac or U A and is defined the set of all
those elements of U which are not in A.
Thus, A = {x U : x A}.

Clearly, x A x A.

If A, B and C are finite sets and U be the finite universal

set, then
(i) A B = A B = A (AB)
(ii) A B = A AB =
(iii) (A B) ( B A ) = ( A B ) (AB)
(vi) n (A B) = n(A) + n(B) n (A B)
(vii) n (A B) = n(A) + n(B) A, B are disjoint non-void
sets.
(viii) n (A B) = n(A) n(A B)
(ix) n (A B) = No. of elements which belong to exactly
one of A or B
= n ((A B) (B A)) = n (A B) + n (B A)
[ (A B) and (B A) are disjoint ]
= n(A) n (A B) + n(B) n (A B)
= n(A) + n(B) 2n (A B)
(x) n(A B C) = n (A) + n(B) + n(C) n (A B)
n (B C) n(A C) + n(A B C)
(xi) Number of elements in exactly two of the sets A, B, C
= n(A B) + n(B C) + n(C A) 3 n(A B C)
(xii) Number of elements in exactly one of the
sets A, B, C
= n(A) + n(B) + n(C) 2n (A B) 2n (B C) 2n (A C)
+ 3n (A B C)
(xiii) n(A B) = n((A B)) = n(u) n (A B)
(xiv) n(A B) = n((A B)) = n(u) n (A B).
Ex. 19 In a group of 800 people, 550 can speak Hindi and
450 can speak English. How many can speak both
Hindi and English ?
Sol. Let H denote the set of people speaking Hindi and E
denote the set of people speaking English.
n(H) = 550, n(E) = 450 and n(H E) = 800.
n(H E) = n(H) + n(E) n (H E)
n(H E) = n(H) + n(E) n(H E)
n(H E) = 550 + 450 800 = 200.
Hence, 200 persons can speak both Hindi and English.
Ex.20 There are 40 students in a chemistry class and 60
students in a physics class. Find the number of
students which are either in physics class or chemistry
class in the following cases:
(i) the two classes meet at the same hour.
(ii) the two classes meet at different hours and 20
students are enrolled in both the subjects.
PAGE # 1515

Sol. Let A be the set of students in chemistry class and B be

the set of students in physics class.
It is given that n (A) = 40 and n(B) = 60.
(i) If two classes meet at the same hour, then there will
not be a common student sitting in both the classes.
Therefore, n (A B) = 0

n (A B) = n(A) + n(B) n(A B)

n (A B) = 40 + 60 0 = 100
(ii) If two classes meet at different timings then there
can be some student sitting in both the classes.
Therefore, n (A B) = 20

n (A B) = n(A) + n(B) n(A B)

= 40 + 60 20 = 80.
Ex. 21 In a school there are 200 students 100 play cricket,
50 play hockey and 60 play basket ball. 30 students
play both circket and Hockey, 35 play both hockey and
basket ball and 45 play both basket ball and cricket.
(i) What is the maximum number of students who play
at least one game?
(ii) What is the maximum number of student who play
all the 3 games ?
(iii) What is the minimum number of students playing
at least one game?
(iv) What is the minimum number of students playing
all the three games.

Sol. Converting all values in terms of variable x, now the

number of students cannot be negative

x 15 0
x 20 0

For minimum number students playing all three

games i.e. x = 20
For maximum value of x, again none of the categories
should have ve number of students
30 x 0
x 30
If x is more than 30, 30 x would be ve which is not
possible. Total number of students playing at least
one game
= 100 + x 15 + 35 x + x 20
= 100 + x
Minimum number of students playing at least one
game = 100 + 20 = 120.
Maximum number of students playing at least one
game = 100 + 30 = 130.

DEFINITIONS

LINE : A line has length but no width and no thickness.

ANGLE :
An angle is the union of two non-collinear rays with
a common initial point. The common initial point is
called the vertex of the angle and two rays are
called the arms of the angles.

(v) Reflex angle : An angle whose measure is more

than 1800 is called a reflex angle. 180 < AOB <
360.

(vi) Complementary angles : Two angles, the sum

of whose measures is 90 are called
complementary angles. AOC + BOC = 90.

REMARK :
Every angle has a measure and unit of measurement
is degree.
One right angle = 90,
1 = 60 (min.), 1 =
60 (sec.)

(vii) Supplementary angles : Two angles, the sum

of whose measures is 180 , are called the
supplementary angles. AOC +BOC = 180.

Types of Angles :

called a right angle.

Angles Made by a Transversal with two Lines:

(i) Transversal : A line which intersects two or more
given parallel lines at distinct points is called a
transversal of the given lines.

(ii) Acute angle : An angle whose measure is less

than 90 is called an acute angle.

(iii) Obtuse angle : An angle whose measure is

more than 900 but less than 180 is called an obtuse
angle.

corresponding angles if both lie either above the two
lines or below the two lines, in figure 1 & 5, 4
& 8, 2 & 6, 3 & 7 are the pairs of
corresponding angles.
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines then the
corresponding angles are equal i.e. 1 = 5,
4 = 8, 2 = 6 and 3 = 7.
(iii) Alternate interior angles : 3 & 5, 2 &
8, are the pairs of alternate interior angles.

(iv) Consecutive interior angles : The pair of

interior angles on the same side of the transversal
are called pairs of consecutive interior angles. In
figure 2 & 5, 3 & 8, are the pairs of
consecutive interior angles.
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines then each
pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary
i.e. 2 + 5 = 180 and 3 + 8 = 180.

Circle :
The collection of all the points in a plane, which are at
a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane, is called
a circle.

O
A

Theorem-3 : There is one and only one circle passing

through three given non-collinear points.

In figure, O is the centre and the length OP is the radius

of the circle. So the line segment joining the centre
and any point on the circle is called a radius of the
circle.
Chord :
If we take two points P and Q on a circle, then the line
segment PQ is called a chord of the circle.

Theorem-4 : The angle subtended by an arc at the

centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point
on the remaining part of the circle.

circle, is called a diameter of the circle.
Arc :
A piece of a circle between two points is called an arc.

Theorem-6 : Angle in the semicircle is a right angle.

PCQ = PAQ = 90

The longer one is called the major arc

and the

shorter one is called the minor arc

Secant :
Secant to a circle is a line which intersects the circle in
two distinct points.

Theorem-7 : The sum of either pair of opposite angles

of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180.
BCD + BAD = 180
ABC + ADC = 180

Tangent :
A tangent to a circle is a line that intersects the circle in
exactly one point.
Theorem-1 : Equal chords of a circle subtend equal
angles at the centre.

Theorem-13 : A line touches a circle and from the point

of contact a chord is drawn. Prove that the angles which
the chord makes with the given line are equal

(c) In fig.(iii) d < r1 + r2. In this case two circles intersect

in two distinct points and there are only two common
tangents.

4 , 2 3 ,

Any two consecutive numbers will always be co-prime.

(x) Even Numbers : All integers which are divisible by 2
are called even numbers. Even numbers are denoted
by the expression 2n, where n is any integer. So, if E is
a set of even numbers, then E = { ..., 4, 2, 0, 2, 4,...}.
(xi) Odd Numbers : All integers which are not
divisible by 2 are c alled odd numbers. Odd
numbers are denoted by the general expression
2n 1 where n is any integer. If O is a set of odd
numbers, then O = {..., 5, 3, 1, 1, 3, 5,...}.
(xii) Imaginary Numbers : All the numbers whose
square is negative are called imaginary numbers.
e.g. 3i, -4i, i, ... ; where i =

- 1.

(xiii) Complex Numbers : The combined form of real

and imaginary numbers is known as complex
numbers. It is denoted by Z = A + iB where A is real part
and B is imaginary part of Z and A, B R.
The set of complex number is the super set of all the
sets of numbers.

Squares : When a number is multiplied by itself then

the product is called the square of that number.

(v) Irrational Numbers :

For Ex. :

numbers (not necessarily prime) is 1 then they are

known as co-prime numbers. e.g. 4, 9 are co-prime
as H.C.F. of (4, 9) = 1.

(e) Mixed fraction : Consists of integral as well as

1 is neither prime nor composite number.

Perfect Square : A natural number is called a perfect

square if it is the square of any other natural number
e.g. 1, 4, 9,... are the squares of 1, 2, 3,... respectively.

Cube : If any number is multiplied by itself three times

Factors : a is a factor of b if there exists a relation

such that a n = b, where n is any natural number.

then the result is called the cube of that number.

Perfect cube : A natural number is said to be a perfect

1 is a factor of all numbers as 1 b = b.

cube if it is the cube of any other natural number.

Factor of a number cannot be greater than the number

(infact the largest factor will be the number itself). Thus
factors of any number will lie between 1 and the number
itself (both inclusive) and they are limited.

a is given a special
name Surd. Where a is called radicand, rational. Also
Any irrational number of the form

the symbol

is called the radical sign and the index

n is called order of the surd.

n

Multiples : a is a multiple of b if there exists a relation

of the type b n = a. Thus the multiples of 6 are
6 1 = 6, 6 2 = 12, 6 3 = 18, 6 4 = 24, and so on.

The smallest multiple will be the number itself and the

number of multiples would be infinite.

NOTE :
To understand what multiples are, lets just take an
example of multiples of 3. The multiples are 3, 6, 9,
12,.... so on. We find that every successive multiples
appears as the third number after the previous.
So if one wishes to find the number of multiples of 6
less than 255, we could arrive at the number through

a is read as nth root of a and can also be written

1

as a n .
Identification of Surds :

(i)

4 is a surd as radicand is a rational number..

Similar examples :

5 , 4 12 , 5 7 , 12 , ...

(ii) 2 + 3 is a surd (as surd + rational number will

give a surd)
Similar examples : 3 2 , 3 1, 3 3 1,...
7 4 3 is a surd as 7 4 3 is a perfect square

(iii)

of 2 3 .
Similar examples : 7 4 3 , 9 4 5 , 9 4 5 ,...

Similar examples :

which is a rational

number.
2 3 , because 2 + 3 is not a perfect square.

(B)

255
= 42 (and the remainder 3). The remainder is of
6
no consequence to us. So in all there are 42 multiples.
255
=7
36
(and the remainder is 3). Hence, there are 7 multiples
of 36.

If one wishes to find the multiples of 36, find

Factorisation : It is the process of splitting any number

into form where it is expressed only in terms of the
most basic prime factors.
For example, 36 = 22 3 2. 36 is expressed in the
factorised form in terms of its basic prime factors.
Number of factors : For any composite number C,
which can be expressed as C = ap bq cr ....., where
a, b, c ..... are all prime factors and p, q, r are positive
integers, then the number of factors is equal to
(p + 1) (q + 1) (r + 1).... e.g. 36 = 22 32. So the
factors of 36 = (2 +1) (2 + 1) = 3 3 = 9.

(C) 3 1 3 , because radicand is an irrational number..

LCM (least Common Multiple) : The LCM of given
numbers, as the name suggests is the smallest
positive number which is a multiple of each of the given
numbers.

HCF (Highest Common factor) : The HCF of given

numbers, as the name suggests is the largest factor
of the given set of numbers.
Consider the numbers 12, 20 and 30. The factors and
the multiples are :
Factors
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120.....
30, 60, 90, 120....

PAGE # 3232

The common factors are 1 and 2 and the common

multiples are 60, 120...
Thus the highest common factor is 2 and the least
common multiple is 60. Meaning of HCF is that the
HCF is the largest number that divides all the given
numbers.
Also since a number divides its multiple, the meaning
of LCM is that it is smallest number which can be
divided by the given numbers.
HCF will be lesser than or equal to the least of the
numbers and LCM will be greater than or equal to the
greatest of the numbers.

The method of finding the remainder without actually

performing the process of division is termed as
remainder theorem.

For any two numbers x and y :

x y = HCF (x, y) LCM (x, y).
HCF and LCM of fractions :

To find the remainder of big number

HCF of numerators
HCF of fractions = LCM of deno min ators
Make sure the fractions are in the most reducible form.

(a b)n = an

NOTE :
(i) (xn an) is divisible by (x a) for all the values of n.
(ii) (xn an) is divisible by (x + a) and (x a) for all the
even values of n.
(iii) (xn + an) is divisible by (x + a) for all the odd values of n.
Test of Divisibility :
No.

Divisiblity Test

Unit digit should be 0 or even

The sum of digits of no. should be divisible by 3

The no formed by last 2 digits of given no. should be divisible by 4.

Unit digit should be 0 or 5.

No should be divisible by 2 & 3 both

The number formed by last 3 digits of given no. should be divisible by 8.

Sum of digits of given no. should be divisible by 9

The difference between sums of the digits at even & at odd places
should be zero or multiple of 11.
25 Last 2 digits of the number should be 00, 25, 50 or 75.

Rule for 7 : Double the last digit of given number and

subtract from remaining number the result should be
zero or divisible by 7.
Rule for 13 : Four times the last digit and add to
remaining number the result should be divisible by
13.
Rule for 17 : Five times the last digit of the number and
subtract from previous number the result obtained
should be either 0 or divisible by 17.
Rule for 19 : Double the last digit of given number and
add to remaining number The result obtained should
be divisible by 19.

Division Algorithm : General representation of result is,

Dividend
Re mainder
Quotient
Divisor
Divisor
Dividend = (Divisor Quotient ) + Remainder

Remainder should always be positive. For example if

we divide 22 by 7, generally we get 3 as quotient and
1 as remainder. But this is wrong because remainder
is never be negative hence the quotient should be 4
and remainder is +6. We can also get remainder 6 by
adding 1 to divisor 7 ( 71 = 6).

(ii) Total number of terms in the expansion of (a + b)n is

(n + 1).
Ex. What is the remainder when 738 is divided by 48.

49
48 1
7 38
72
=

so by using
48
48
48
48
binomial expansion, we can say that 18 terms are
completely divisible by 48 but the last term which is
19

Sol.

119
48

19

19

is not divisible. So, 119 = 1 is the remainder..

We are having 10 digits in our number systems and

some of them shows special characterstics like they,
repeat their unit digit after a cycle, for example 1 repeat
its unit digit after every consecutive power. So, its
cyclicity is 1 on the other hand digit 2 repeat its unit
digit after every four power, hence the cyclicity of 2 is
four. The cyclicity of digits are as follows :
Digit

Cyclicity

0, 1, 5 and 6

4 and 9

2, 3, 7 and 8

So, if we want to find the last digit of 245, divide 45 by 4.

The remainder is 1 so the last digit of 245 would be
same as the last digit of 21 which is 2.

PAGE # 3333

Ex. In (32)33 unit digit is equal to the unit digit of 21 i.e. 2.

Factorial n : Product of n consecutive natural numbers

is known as factorial n it is denoted by n!.
So, n! = n(n 1)(n 2).............321.
e.g. 5! = 5 4 3 2 1 = 120.
The value of factorial zero is equal to the value of
factorial one. Hence 0! = 1 = 1!
The approach to finding the highest power of x dividing
y y y
y! is 2 3 ......., where [ ] represents just
x x x
the integral part of the answer and ignoring the fractional
part.
Ex. What is the highest power of 5 that divides of x = 100!
= 100 99 98 ...... 3 2 1.
Sol. Calculating contributions of the different powers of 5,

100
= 20,
= 4.
51
52
Hence, the total contributions to the power of 5 is 24, or
the number 100! is divisible by 524.
we have

100

After 9, we use the letters to indicate digits. For instance,

A has a value 10, B has a value 11, C has a value 12,...
so on in all base systems.
The counting sequences in each of the systems would
be different though they follow the same principle.
Conversion : conversion of numbers from (i) decimal
system to other base system. (ii) other base system to
decimal system.
(i) Conversion from base 10 to any other base :
Ex. Convert (122)10 to base 8 system.

8 122
8 15 2
Sol. 8 1 7
0 1
The number in decimal is consecutively divided by the
number of the base to which we are converting the
decimal number. Then list down all the remainders in
the reverse sequence to get the number in that base.
So, here (122) 10 = (172)8.
(ii) Conversion from any other base to decimal system

The number system that we work in is called the

decimal system. This is because there are 10 digits
in the system 0-9. There can be alternative system that
can be used for arithmetic operations. Some of the
most commonly used systems are : binary, octal and
hexadecimal.
These systems find applications in computing.
Binary system has 2 digits : 0, 1.
Octal system has 8 digits : 0, 1, 2..., 7.
Hexadecimal system has 16 digits : 0, 1, 2,..., 9, A , B,
C, D, E, F.

Ex. Convert (231)8 into decimal system.

Sol. (231)8 , the value of the position of each of the numbers
( as in decimal system) is :
1 = 80 1
3 = 81 3
2 = 82 2
Hence, (231)8 = (80 1 + 81 3 + 82 2)10
(231)8 = (1 + 24 + 128)10
(231)8 = (153)10
