Arithmetic Progression: The nth term of A.P. is given by Tn = a + (n 1)d; Sum of n terms of A.P Sn = n/2 *(a + L) or Geometrical Progression: n/2 *[2a+(n-1)d)]
Tn = arn 1.
Sn = a(rn 1)/(r-1);
Basic Formulae
1. ( a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab 2. (a-b)2 = a2 +b2 -2ab 3. ( a+b)2 - (a b)2 = 4ab 4. (a+b)2 + (a b)2 = 2 (a2 +b2) 5. (a2 b2) = (a+b) (a-b) 6. (a+b+c)2 =a2 +b2 +c2 + 2(ab +bc+ca) 7. (a3 +b3) = ( a+b) (a2 ab +b2) 8. (a3 b3) = (a-b) (a2 +ab + b2) 9. (a3+b3+c3 -3abc) = (a+b+c) (a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca) If a+b+c = 0, then (a3+b3+c3) =3abc

fill it in 20 minutes and B in 25 minutes. Both taps

are kept open for 5 minutes and then the second is
turned off. How many minutes will be taken to fill

the tank ?

Solution: In one day (A +B) can do = 1/20 + 1/25 = 9/100 In 5 days (A +B ) can do = 5x9/100 = 9/20 Work left = 1 9 /20 =11/20 A alone can do the remaining = ( 11/20) x 20 = 11 The cistern will be filled in 11 minutes.

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 min. and 40 min. respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after how much time A should be closed so that the tank is full in 10 minutes?
Time and Work (Pipes) Solution:

Let B be closed after x minutes. Then, Part filled by (A+B) in x min. + part by A in ( 10 x min) =1 x (1/20 +1/40) + (10 x) * 1/20 = 1 x (3/40) + (10 x) /20 = 1 3x/40 + (10 x) / 20 = 1 3x + 20 2x = 40 3x 2x = 40 -20 x = 20 min. A must be closed after 20 minutes.

Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 6 hours and 4 hours respectively. If they are opened on alternate hours and if pipe A is opened first, in how many hours, the tank shall be full?

Solution: As work in hour = 1/6, Bs work in 1 hour =1/4 (A + B) s 2 hr work = 1/6+1/4 = 5/12 (A + B) s 4 hr work = 10/12 = 5/6 Remaining Part = 1- 5/6 = 1/6 Now, it is As turn and 1/6 part is filled by A in 1 hour. Total time = 4+1 =5

Simple / Compound Interest

Simple Interest = PNR / 100
Total amount A = P + PNR / 100

When Interest is Compound annually: Amount = P (1 + R / 100)n

Half-yearly C.I.: Amount = P (1+(R/2)/100)2n
Quarterly C.I. :
Amount = P (1+(R/4)/100)4n
Simple/compound interest
Difference between C.I and S.I for 2 years = P*(R/100)2.
Difference between C.I and S.I for 3 years = P{(R/100)3+ 3(R/100)2 }

Venn Diagram
If X and Y are two sets such that X u Y has 18
elements, X has 8 elements, and Y has 15 elements, how many element does X n Y have?
Venn Diagram
Solution: We are given n (X uY) = 18, n (X) = 8, n (Y) =15. using the formula. n( X n Y) = n (X) + n (Y) - n ( X u Y) n( X n Y) = 8 + 15 18 n( X n Y) = 5
Venn Diagram
If S and T are two sets such that S has 21elemnets, T
has 32 elements, and S n T has 11 elements, how many element elements does S u T have?
Venn Diagram
Answer: n (s) = 21, n (T) = 32, n ( S n T) = 11, n (S u T) = ? n (S u T) = n (S) + n( T) n (S n T) = 21 + 32 11 = 42
Venn Diagram
If A and B are two sets such that A has 40 elements, A
u B has 60 elements and A n B has 10 elements, how many element elements does B have?
Venn Diagram
Answer: n ( A) = 40, n ( n B) = 60 and n ( A n B) = 10, n ( A u B) = n ( A) + n (B) n ( A n B) 60 = 40 + n (B) 10 n (B) = 30
Venn Diagram
In a group of 1000 people, there are 750 people who
can speak Hindi and 400 who can speak English. How many can Speak Hindi only?
Answer: n( H u E) = 1000, n (H) = 750, n (E) = 400, n( H u E) = n (H) + n (E) n( H n E) 1000 = 750 +400 n ( H n E) n ( H n E) = 1150 100 = 150 No. of people can speak Hindi only _ = n ( H n E) = n ( H) n( H n E) = 750 150 = 600
Venn Diagram
In a class of 100 students, the number of students passed in English only is 46, in maths only is 46, in commerce only is 58. the number who passes in English and Maths is 16, Maths and commerce is 24 and English and commerce is 26, and the number who passed in all the subject is 7. find the number of the students who failed in all the subjects.
Venn Diagram
Solution: No. of students who passed in one or more subjects = 11+ 9 + 13 + 17 + 15 + 19 + 7 = 91 No of students who failed in all the subjects = 100 -91 = 9

brand A at Rs. 9/kg with brand B at Rs. 4/kg. If

Brand A required = 3*40 / 5 = 24kg

= 5*1350/9 =Rs. 750 = Rs. 600

The number of days to complete = 6

100x = 110(x 10 ) The number of men present originally = 110

x = 30 The number of days required is 30.

x/6 = (100*6)/(6*50) The number of cats needed would be 12.
