years hence is Rs.250 and SimpeInterest on the
same sum for same time and same rate is Rs375 find
sum and rate%?
Suppose present value is X
RTX / 100 = 250
(X+250) *rt / 100 = 375
solving these we get :
(X+250)/X =375/250
250X+62500 =375X
-125X = -62500 or X = 500
RT5=250 or RT = 50 or r = 16.33
amount = (500+250) = 750 answer

FORMULA = PRT / 100
=(1400 * 10 * 4) / 100
=560
BANKER'S GAIN IS THE DIFFERENCE OF BANKER'S
DISCOUNT AND TRUE DISCOUNT = 560-400 = 160
BANKER'S GAIN IS SIMPLE INTEREST ON TRUE
DISCOUNT
=(400 * 10*4) / 100 = 160 ANSWER
5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 16
The difference between SimpeInterest and
TrueDiscount on a certain sum of money for 6
months at 25/2% per annum is Rs25. Find the sum.

True discount = (25*100)/(1/2 *25/2)


=2500*4 /25
10000/25 = 400
Present worth is : (400*100)/(1/2 *25/2)
=160000/25 =6400
6400 is the present value, so amount is 6400+400
=6800

A bill falls due in 1 year.The creditor agrees to
accept immediate payment of the half and to defer
the payment of the other half for 2 years .By this
arrangement he gains Rs.40.what is the amount of
bill,if the money be worth 25/2%?
Let us assume that the bill amount is Rs. 200
amount received =100+present value of 100 (after 2 years)
PV of 100 = (100 * 100 )/ (100+25)
=80
thus payment received = 80
present value of bill amount = (100*200)/(100+25) = 160
his profit is 180-160 = 20.
thus bill amount is : 40/20 * 200 = 400 answer

2. geometric series (example : 1,2,4,8,16..)
3. harmonic series (example 1/2,
1/4,1/6,1/8 ...)

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 32
What is AP ?

Arithematic progression :
here there are two things :
A = starting term
D = difference between two terms (which is
always equal)
example : 3,10,13,20 ...
here A = 3, D = 7.
5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 33
What is GP ?
Geometric progression
here ratio (ratio means what you get when you
divide the 2nd term from the 1st term).
Here we have two things : A and R
A = starting term (1st term)
nd st
R = ratio (2 term / 1 term). Ratio remains
same for the whole series

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 34
What is HP?

Harmonic progression
It is the reverse of AP
example :
2,4,6,8, is AP
but 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 is HP.

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 35
What is the sum of series ?

AP =there are 2 formula :


Sum = n/2 (2a + n-1)d)
or
sum = n/2 (1st term + last term)

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 36
What is the sum of series in GP?

Now let us compound (multiply all the X and Y individuallY )
them :
X =4*9*8*9 = 2592
Y = 9*16*27*7=27216
their ratio is 1: 10.5 or 2:21 answer

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 47
WHAT IS A FUNCTION

It is a rule. It says that given a value of X what


will be the value of f(x). here F is not
multiplied to X, but it only shows function of
X.
Itis also written as Y = f(x)

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 48
What are the types of functions ?

There are many classifications :


1. even and odd functions
2.

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 49
What is inverse function ?
Inverse function puts the relation of Y to X
(function puts the relation of X to Y).
Thus if function = convert celsius to feirenheit
F(c) = 9/5 (C+32)
now inveserse function will be to convert
feirehheit into celcius :
f(f) = 5/9 (f-32)

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 50
What is even function ?

When the outcome of f(x) = f(-x), it is called


even function.
Example:
F(x) = X^2+x^4
suppose X is 2, f(x) = 20
we get the same outcome in the case of f(-2)

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 51
What is odd function ?

When the outcome of f(x) = -f(-x), it is called


even function.
Example:
F(x) = X^3+x^5
suppose X is 2, f(x) = 40, but f(-2) = -40
thus we can say that f(x)=-f(-x) answer

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 52
What is composite function ?

If Y = f(x) and X = g(u),


then we have function of function. This is
called composite function.
Suppose first function says that Y = X^2 and it
is given than X = Z^2, and Z = 2
then Y = 16
thus this is composite function. Answer
5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 53
What is limit?

As X approaches certain value it is called limit


example : x = 1.7 and it approaches 1.8
thus f(x)=2x = 3.6 (it approaches 3.6 answer

A train running at 54 kmph takes 20 sec to pass a
platform. Next it takes 12 sec to pass a man walking at
6kmph in the same direction in which the train is
going.Find length of the train and length of platform

Solution :
Train v/s man
speed = 54 -6 = 48 km per hour
speed in m/s =48 * 5/18 = 13.33 m / s
length of train = 12*13.33 = 159.6 meters
speed for platform =54*5/18 = 15 m / s
length of platform+ train = 20*15 = 300
length of platform = 300 159 = 140 meters approx.

A train overtakes two persons who are walking in the
same direction in which the train is going at the rate
of 2kmph and 4kmph and passes them completely in
9 sec and 10 sec respectively. The length of train is
Solution : -
let us assume the speed of train to be X.
(X-2) * 9/3600 = (X-4) *10/3600
9X 18 = 10X 40
X=22 km per hour.
thus distance travelled = (22-4) * 5/18 = 5 m/s
time=10 seconds so length of train = 5*10 = 50 meters.

Two stations A & B are 110 km apart on a straight line.
One train starts from A at 7am and travels towards B at
20kmph. Another train starts from B at 8am an travels toward
A at a speed of 25kmph.At what time will they meet

From 7 am to 8 am only A is travelling. It


would travel 20 km. Now 90 km is to be
covered. 90 / (20+25)
=2 hours
so at 10 am they will meet.

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 64
A train travelling at 48kmph completely crosses another
train
having half its length an travelling inopposite direction at
42kmph
in12 sec.It also passes a railway platform in 45sec.the
length of platform is

Distance by 2 trains = (48+42) = 90 or 25 m/s


25 * 12=300 meters. So the length of train is 200 meters.
Platform : 48 * 5/18 =13.33 m/ s
45*13.33 = 600
so length of platform = 600-200=400 meters. Answer

a perimeter of 34cm for each part folded along one set of sides
and the same is 38cm. When folded along the other set of
sides. What is the area of the paper?

When we fold from mid of length


= L+2B=34
When we fold from mid of width
= 2L+B=38
add them = 3L+3B=72
L+B=24, where L =14, B=10
so area of paper =14*10 =140 answer

A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally
walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time
to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate
of 68m/min. The area of the field is?

Diagonal = 52*15/60=13
of perimeter=68*15/60=17
X+Y=17 -- 1st
X^2+Y^2 =169 -- 2nd
square of 1st equation:X^2+Y^2+2XY=289
2XY=120 or XY =60
thus area of field is 60 sq.meter.
