NUMBER SYSTEM
How many times a digit n appears in a certain range (except 0)?
From 1 9, the digit n is used 1 time
From 1 99, the digit n is used 20 times.
From 1 999, the digit n is used 300 times
From 1 9999, the digit n is used ..

PERECENTAGES
Quick Calculation of Percentages
15 % of 290 ?
Now, 10 % of 290 = 29, 5 % is half of it = 14.5
Hence, 15 % 0f 290 = 29 + 14.5 = 43.5




PROFIT/LOSS
BUY X & GET Y FREE OFFER
If articles worth Rs X are bought and articles worth Rs. Y are obtained free along with the Rs. X articles, then
Discount = Rs. Y
Discount % = (Y / X+Y) * 100


SIMPLE/COMPOUND INTEREST
Difference between Simple Interest & Compound Interest

PROGRESSIONS
1. It is always convenient to take three terms in an A.P. as (a d), a & (a + d). Four terms in an A.P. could be
taken as a 3d, a d, a + d and a + 3d.

2. If nth term of any sequence is Tn = 3n + 2, then (n+1)th term will be ..

Time-Speed-Distance
Application of Relative Speed in Train Problems
Train 1, Length L1, Speed S1
Train 2, Length L2, Speed S2
Sobj be the speed of any moving object
T=Time taken by the train to cross the object
Then,
1. If Train of Length L1 crosses any stationary object of negligible length, then T =
1
S1

2. If Train of Length L1 crosses any moving object of negligible length, then T =

PERMUTATIONS & COMBINATIONS

Number of triangles with one side common to a n sided polygon = n * (n 4)

Number of triangles with two sides common to a n sided polygon = n

Number of triangles with no side common to that of a n sided polygon = .





TIME & WORK
If A and B together can do a piece of work in x days, B and C together can do in y days and C and A together can
do in z days, then the same work can be done
By A alone in
2xyz
xy + yz - zx
days
By B alone in . days

QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

DESCARTEs RULE of SIGNS

If the coefficients of all the powers of x of an equation are positive, the equation does not have any positive
root
For example, the equation x
4
+ 4x
3
+ 5x
2
+ 9x + 1 = 0 will have no positive root.

If the coefficients of all even powers of x in an equation are of one sign and the coefficients of all the odd
powers of x are of the opposite sign, the equation does not have any negative root.
The equation x
5
2x
4
+ 9x
3
5x
2
+ 7x 20 = 0 will not have any negative root.


FINDING 3-Digit Squares
Finding 3 digit squares can be a 2 minute process if you practice the following trick
Suppose you have to find square of 192
Then just round up / down the given number to nearest multiple of 100 as follows
+8 200
192 36800 + 8
2
= 36800 + 64 = 36864
-8 184
