NUMBERS
IMPORTANT FACTS AND FORMULAE
I. NUMERAL : In Hindu Arabic system, we use ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9 called digits to represent any number.
A group of digits, denoting a number is called a numeral.
We represent a number, say 689745132 as shown below :
Ten Crores Ten Lacs Lacs Ten Thousands Hundreds Tens Units
7 5
Crores (10 ) (Millions) (10 ) Thousands (103 ) (102 ) (101) (100)
(108 ) (106) (104 )
6 8 9 7 4 5 1 3 2
We read it as : 'Sixty-eight crores, ninety-seven lacs, forty-five thousand, one
hundred and thirty-two'.
II PLACE VALUE OR LOCAL VALUE OF A DIGIT IN A NUMERAL :

In the above numeral :
Place value of 2 is (2 x 1) = 2; Place value of 3 is (3 x 10) = 30;
Place value of 1 is (1 x 100) = 100 and so on.
Place value of 6 is 6 x 108 = 600000000
III.FACE VALUE : The face value of a digit in a numeral is the value of the
digit itself at whatever place it may be. In the above numeral, the face value of 2
is 2; the face value of 3 is 3 and so on.
IV PRIME NUMBERS : A number greater than 1 is called a prime number, if it has

exactly two factors, namely 1 and the number itself.
Prime numbers upto 100 are : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43,
47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
Prime numbers Greater than 100 : Let p be a given number greater than 100. To find
out whether it is prime or not, we use the following method :
Find a whole number nearly greater than the square root of p. Let k > p . Test
whether p is divisible by any prime number less than k. If yes, then p is not prime.
Otherwise, p is prime.
e.g,,We have to find whether 191 is a prime number or not. Now, 14 > 191 .
Prime numbers less than 14 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.
191 is not divisible by any of them. So, 191 is a prime number.
V.TESTS OF DIVISIBILITY
1. Divisibility By 2 : A number is divisible by 2, if its unit's digit is any of 0, 2, 4, 6,
8. Ex. 84932 is divisible by 2, while 65935 is not.
2. Divisibility By 3 : A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible

by 3. Ex.592482 is divisible by 3, since sum of its digits = (5 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 2)
= 30, which is divisible by 3. But, 864329 is not divisible by 3, since sum of its
digits =(8 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 9) = 32, which is not divisible by 3.
3. Divisibility By 4 : A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by the last

two digits is divisible by 4. Ex. 892648 is divisible by 4, since the number formed
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 1 -
by the last two digits is 48, which is divisible by 4. But, 749282 is not divisible
by 4, since the number formed by the last tv/o digits is 82, which is not divisible
by 4.
4. Divisibility By 5 : A number is divisible by 5, if its unit's digit is either 0 or 5.
Thus, 20820 and 50345 are divisible by 5, while 30934 and 40946 are not.
5. Divisibility By 6 : A number is divisible by 6, if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Ex. The number 35256 is clearly divisible by 2. Sum of its digits = (3 + 5 + 2 + 5
+ 6) = 21, which is divisible by 3. Thus, 35256 is divisible by 2 as well as 3.
Hence, 35256 is divisible by 6.
6. Divisibility By 8 : A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by the last
three digits of the given number is divisible by 8. Ex. 953360 is divisible by 8,
since the number formed by last three digits is 360, which is divisible by 8. But,
529418 is not divisible by 8, since the number formed by last three digits is 418,
which is not divisible by 8.
7. Divisibility By 9 : A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible

by 9. Ex. 60732 is divisible by 9, since sum of digits * (6 + 0 + 7 + 3 + 2) = 18,
which is divisible by 9. But, 68956 is not divisible by 9, since sum of digits = (6 +
8 + 9 + 5 + 6) = 34, which is not divisible by 9.
8. Divisibility By 10 : A number is divisible by 10, if it ends with 0. Ex. 96410,
10480 are divisible by 10, while 96375 is not.
9. Divisibility By 11 : A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its

digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places, is either 0 or a number
divisible by 11. Ex. The number 4832718 is divisible by 11, since : (sum of digits
at odd places) - (sum of digits at even places) (8 + 7 + 3 + 4) - (1 + 2 + 8) = 11,
which is divisible by 11.
10. Divisibility By 12 ; A number is divisible by 12, if it is divisible by both 4 and 3.

Ex. Consider the number 34632.
(i) The number formed by last two digits is 32, which is divisible by 4,
(ii) Sum of digits = (3 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 2) = 18, which is divisible by 3. Thus, 34632
is divisible by 4 as well as 3. Hence, 34632 is divisible by 12.
11. Divisibility By 14 : A number is divisible by 14, if it is divisible by 2 as well as 7.
12. Divisibility By 15 : A number is divisible by 15, if it is divisible by both 3 and 5.
13. Divisibility By 16 : A number is divisible by 16, if the number formed by the

last4 digits is divisible by 16. Ex.7957536 is divisible by 16, since the number
formed by the last four digits is 7536, which is divisible by 16.
14. Divisibility By 24 : A given number is divisible by 24, if it is divisible by both3

and 8.
15. Divisibility By 40 : A given number is divisible by 40, if it is divisible by both
5 and 8.
16. Divisibility By 80 : A given number is divisible by 80, if it is divisible by both 5
and 16.
Note : If a number is divisible by p as well as q, where p and q are co-primes, then

the given number is divisible by pq. If p arid q are not co-primes, then the given
number need not be divisible by pq, even when it is divisible by both p and q. Ex.
36 is divisible by both 4 and 6, but it is not divisible by (4x6) = 24, since
4 and 6 are not co-primes.
VI. BASIC FORMULAE

1. (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab 2. (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
2 2
3. (a + b) - (a - b) = 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. (a + b + c -3abc) = (a + b + c) (a + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
3 3 3 2
10. If a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc.
VII. DIVISION ALGORITHM OR EUCLIDEAN ALGORITHM

If we divide a given number by another number, then :
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
VIII. {i) (xn - an ) is divisible by (x - a) for all values of n.

(ii) (xn - an) is divisible by (x + a) for all even values of n.
(iii) (xn + an) is divisible by (x + a) for all odd values of n.
IX. PROGRESSION
A succession of numbers formed and arranged in a definite order according to certain
definite rule, is called a progression.
Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) : If each term of a progression differs from its

preceding term by a constant, then such a progression is called an arithmetical
progression. This constant difference is called the common difference of the A.P.
An A.P. with first term a and common difference d is given by a, (a + d), (a + 2d),(a +
3d),.....
The nth term of this A.P. is given by Tn =a + (n – 1) d.
The sum of n terms of this A.P.
n n n
S n   2a  (n  1)d   (a  an )  (a  l )

SOME IMPORTANT RULES:
n(n  1)
Rule 1: Sum of first n natural numbers :
2
Rule 2: Sum of first n odd numbers : n x n = n2.
Rule 3: Sum of first n even numbers = n(n+1)
n(n  1)(2n  1)
Rule 4: Sum of squares of first n natural numbers :
6

 n(n  1) 
Rule 5: Sum of cubes of first n natural numbers :  
 2 
Rule 6: If n is the number of numbers and n is even then n/2 numbers will be
even and n/2 numbers will be odd among first n natural numbers.
Rule 7: If n is odd , then there are (n+1)/2 odd numbers and (n-1)/2 even
numbers
Rule 8: The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is always
an odd number. Ex. 92 – 82 = 17
Rule 9: The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is the
sum of the two consecutive numbers
Ex. Find out the number of all even numbers from 1 to 300 ?
Solution : Since 300 is an even number so total number of even numbers wil be (n/20)
= (300/2) = 150 even numbers
Ex. What is the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 381
Solution : Even numbers will be = (381-1)/2= 190
Sum of even numbers = n * (n+1) = 190 (190+1) = 36,290
Ex. Find out of sum of all the odd numbers from 50 to 200
Solution : Required Sum = Sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 200 - Sum of all odd
numbers from 1 to 50 : 1002 – 252 = 9375
Rule 10 : Dividend = (Divisor * Quotient) + Remainder
Ex. What least number must be added to 7963 to make it exactly divisible by 65 ?
Solution :On dividing 7963 by 65 we get 33 as remainder, So the number to be added
will be 65 - 33 = 32
Ex. What least number must be subtracted from 7963 to make it exactely
divisible by 65 ?
Solution : On dividing 7963 by 65 we get 33 as remainder, So the number to be
subtracted will be 33
Ex. Find the least number of five digits which is exactly divisible by 73 ?
Solution :Least number of five digits will be 10000, on dividing 10000 by 73 we get
72 as remainder, so the number will be = 10000 + 72 = 10072
Rule : for finding least number add the remainder to the least number
Ex. find the greatest number of five digits which is exactly divisible by 147 ?
Solution : The greatest number of five digit will be 99999, on dividing it by 147 we
get 39 as remainder, so the required number will be 99999 - 39 = 99960
Rule : For finding greatest number substract the remainder to the greatest
number
H.C.F. AND L.C.M. OF NUMBERS

I. Factors and Multiples : If a number a divides another number b exactly, we say

that a is a factor of b. In this case, b is called a multiple of a.
II. Highest Common Factor (H.C.F.) or Greatest Common Measure (G.C.M.) or
Greatest Common Divisor (G.C.D.): The H.C.F. of two or more than two numbers
is the greatest number that divides each of them exactly.
There are two methods of finding the H.C.F. of a given set of numbers :
1. Factorization Method : Express each one of the given numbers as the
product of prime factors.The product of least powers of common prime factors
gives H.C.F.
2. Division Method: Suppose we have to find the H.C.F. of two given
numbers. Divide the larger number by the smaller one. Now, divide the divisor
by the remainder. Repeat the process of dividing the preceding number by the
remainder last obtained till zero is obtained as remainder. The last divisor is the
required H.C.F.
Finding the H.C.F. of more than two numbers : Suppose we have to find the
H.C.F. of three numbers. Then, H.C.F. of [(H.C.F. of any two) and (the third
number)] gives the H.C.F. of three given numbers.
Similarly, the H.C.F. of more than three numbers may be obtained.
III. Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) : The least number which is exactly divisible
by each one of the given numbers is called their L.C.M.
1. Factorization Method of Finding L.C.M.: Resolve each one of the given
numbers into a product of prime factors. Then, L.C.M. is the product of
highest powers of all the factors,
2. Common Division Method {Short-cut Method) of Finding L.C.M.:
Arrange the given numbers in a row in any order. Divide by a number which
divides exactly at least two of the given numbers and carry forward the
numbers which are not divisible. Repeat the above process till no two of the
numbers are divisible by the same number except 1. The product of the
divisors and the undivided numbers is the required L.C.M. of the given
numbers,
IV. Product of two numbers =Product of their H.C.F. and L.C.M.
V. Co-primes: Two numbers are said to be co-primes if their H.C.F. is 1.
VI. H.C.F. and L.C.M. of Fractions:

1.H C F= H.C.F. of Numerators 2.L C M = L.C.M of Numerators__
L.C.M. of Denominators H.C.F. of Denominators
VII. H.C.F. and L.C.M. of Decimal Fractions: In given numbers, make the same
number of decimal places by annexing zeros in some numbers, if necessary.
Considering these numbers without decimal point, find H.C.F. or L.C.M. as the case
may be. Now, in the result, mark off as many decimal places as are there in each of
the given numbers.
VIII. Comparison of Fractions: Find the L.C.M. of the denominators of the given
fractions. Convert each of the fractions into an equivalent fraction with L.C.M. as the
denominator, by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same
number. The resultant fraction with the greatest numerator is the greatest.

I. Decimal Fractions : Fractions in which denominators are powers of 10 are
known as decimal fractions.
Thus ,1/10=1 tenth=.1;1/100=1 hundredth =.01;
99/100=99 hundreths=.99;7/1000=7 thousandths=.007,etc
II. Conversion of a Decimal Into Vulgar Fraction : Put 1 in the denominator under the
decimal point and annex with it as many zeros as is the number of digits after the
decimal point. Now, remove the decimal point and reduce the fraction to its lowest
terms.
25 1 2008 251 1.84 184 8 0.365 365
Thus, 0.25   ; 2.008   .   ; 
100 4 1000 125 2.99 299 13 0.584 584
III. 1. Annexing zeros to the extreme right of a decimal fraction does not change its
value. Thus, 0.8 = 0.80 = 0.800, etc.
2. If numerator and denominator of a fraction contain the same number of
decimal places, then we remove the decimal sign.
1.84 184 8 0.365 365
Thus,   ; 
2.99 299 13 0.584 584
IV. Operations on Decimal Fractions :
1. Addition and Subtraction of Decimal Fractions : The given numbers
are so placed under each other that the decimal points lie in one
column. The numbers so arranged can now be added or subtracted in
the usual way.
2. Multiplication of a Decimal Fraction By a Power of 10 : Shift the
decimal point to the right by as many places as is the power of 10.
Thus, 5.9632 x 100 = 596,32; 0.073 x 10000 = 0.0730 x 10000 = 730.
3. Multiplication of Decimal Fractions : Multiply the given numbers
considering them without the decimal point. Now, in the product, the
decimal point is marked off to obtain as many places of decimal as is
the sum of the number of decimal places in the given numbers.
Suppose we have to find the product (.2 x .02 x .002).
Now, 2x2x2 = 8. Sum of decimal places = (1 + 2 + 3) = 6.
.2 x .02 x .002 = .000008.
4. Dividing a Decimal Fraction By a Counting Number : Divide the
given number without considering the decimal point, by the given
counting number. Now, in the quotient, put the decimal point to give as
many places of decimal as there are in the dividend. Suppose we have
to find the quotient (0.0204 + 17). Now, 204 ^ 17 = 12. Dividend
contains 4 places of decimal. So, 0.0204 + 17 = 0.0012.
5. Dividing a Decimal Fraction By a Decimal Fraction : Multiply both
the dividend and the divisor by a suitable power of 10 to make divisor
a whole number. Now, proceed as above.
Thus, 0.00066/0.11 = (0.00066*100)/(0.11*100) = (0.066/11) = .006V
V. Comparison of Fractions : Suppose some fractions are to be arranged in
ascending or descending order of magnitude. Then, convert each one of the given
fractions in the decimal form, and arrange them accordingly.
Suppose, we have to arrange the fractions 3/5, 6/7 and 7/9 in descending order.
now, 3/5=0.6,6/7 = 0.857,7/9 = 0.777....
since 0.857>0.777...>0.6, so 6/7>7/9>3/5
VI. Recurring Decimal : If in a decimal fraction, a figure or a set of figures is
repeated continuously, then such a number is called a recurring decimal.
In a recurring decimal, if a single figure is repeated, then it is expressed by putting
a dot on it. If a set of figures is repeated, it is expressed by putting a bar on the set
Thus 1/3 = 0.3333….= 0.3; 22 /7 = 3.142857142857.....= 3.142857
Pure Recurring Decimal: A decimal fraction in which all the figures after the
decimal point are repeated, is called a pure recurring decimal.
Converting a Pure Recurring Decimal Into Vulgar Fraction : Write the
repeated figures only once in the numerator and take as many nines in the
denominator as is the number of repeating figures.
thus ,0.5 = 5/9; 0.53 = 53/59 ;0.067 = 67/999;etc...
Mixed Recurring Decimal: A decimal fraction in which some figures do not
repeat and some of them are repeated, is called a mixed recurring decimal.
e.g., 0.17333 = 0.173.
Converting a Mixed Recurring Decimal Into Vulgar Fraction : In the
numerator, take the difference between the number formed by all the digits after
decimal point (taking repeated digits only once) and that formed by the digits
which are not repeated, In the denominator, take the number formed by as many
nines as there are repeating digits followed by as many zeros as is the number of
non-repeating digits.
Thus 0.16 = (16-1) / 90 = 15/19 = 1/6;
0.2273  (2273  22) / 9900  2251/ 9900

SIMPLIFICATION

I. ’BODMAS’Rule: This rule depicts the correct sequence in which the operations
are to be executed,so as to find out the value of a given expression.
Here, ‘B’ stands for ’bracket’ ,’O’for ‘of’ , ‘D’ for’ division’ and ‘M’ for
‘multiplication’, ‘A’ for ‘addition’ and ‘S’ for ‘subtraction’.
Thus, in simplifying an expression, first of all the brackets must be removed, strictly
in the order(), {} and [].
After removing the brackets, we must use the following operations strictly in the
order: (1)of (2)division (3) multiplication (4)addition (5)subtraction.
II. Modulus of a real number : Modulus of a real number a is defined as

|a| ={a, if a>0
-a, if a<0
Thus, |5|=5 and |-5|=-(-5)=5.
III. Virnaculum (or bar): When an expression contains Virnaculum, before applying
the ‘BODMAS’ rule, we simplify the expression under the Virnaculum.

RATIO AND PROPORTION
I. RATIO: The ratio of two quantities a and b in the same units, is the fraction a/b and we
write it as a:b.
In the ratio a:b, we call a as the first term or antecedent and b, the second term or
consequent.
Ex. The ratio 5: 9 represents 5/9 with antecedent = 5, consequent = 9.

Rule: The multiplication or division of each term of a ratio by the same non-zero
number does not affect the ratio.
Ex. 4: 5 = 8: 10 = 12: 15 etc. Also, 4: 6 = 2: 3.
2. 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 . Here a
and d are called extremes, while b and c are called mean terms.
Product of means = Product of extremes.
Thus, a: b:: c : d <=> (b x c) = (a x d).
3. (i) Fourth Proportional: If a : b = c: d, then d is called the fourth proportional

to a, b, c.
(ii) Third Proportional: If a: b = b: c, then c is called the third proportional to
a and b.
(iii) Mean Proportional: Mean proportional between a and b is square root of ab
4. (i) COMPARISON OF RATIOS:

We say that (a: b) > (c: d) <=> (a/b)>(c /d).
(ii) COMPOUNDED RATIO:
The compounded ratio of the ratios (a: b), (c: d), (e : f) is (ace: bdf)
5. (i) Duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a2 : b2).

(ii) Sub-duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (√a : √b).
(iii)Triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a3 : b3).
(iv) Sub-triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a ⅓ : b ⅓ ).
(v) If (a/b)=(c/d), then ((a+b)/(a-b))=((c+d)/(c-d)) (Componendo and dividendo)
6. VARIATION:
(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 for some constant k and
we write, x∞(1/y)
PARTNERSHIP
1. Partnership: When two or more than two persons run a business jointly, they are
called partners and the deal is known as partnership.
2. Ratio of Division of Gains:
i) When investments of all the partners are for the same time, the gain or loss
is distributed a among the partners in the ratio of their investments.
Suppose A and B invest Rs. x and Rs. y respectively for a year in a business, then at

the end of the year:
(A’s share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = x : y.
ii) When investments are for different time periods, then equivalent capitals are
calculated for a unit of time by taking (capital x number of units of time). Now, gain
or loss is divided in the ratio of these capitals.
Suppose A invests Rs. x for p months and B invests Rs. y for q months, then
(A’s share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = xp : yq.
3. Working and Sleeping Partners: A partner who manages the business is known .
as a working partner and the one who simply invests the money is a sleeping partner.

DIRECT AND INDIRECT PROPORTION

_IMPORTANT FACTS AND FORMULAE
1. Direct Proportion: Two quantities are said to be directly proportional, if on the
increase (or decrease) of the one, the other increases (or decreases) to the same
Ex. 1. Cost is directly proportional to the number of articles.
(More Articles, More Cost)
Ex. 2. Work done is directly proportional to the number of men working on it
(More Men, More Work)
2. Indirect Proportion: Two quantities are said to be indirectly proportional,if on the

increase of the one, the other decreases to the same extent and vice-versa.
Ex. 1. The time taken by a car in covering a certain distance is inversely proportional
to the speed of the car.
(More speed, Less is the time taken to cover a distance)
Ex. 2. Time taken to finish a work is inversely proportional to the num of persons
working at it.
(More persons, Less is the time taken to finish a job)
Remark: In solving questions by chain rule, we compare every item with the term to
be found out.

SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST

1.. Principal: The money borrowed or lent out for a certain period is called the
principal or the sum.
2. Interest: Extra money paid for using other's money is called interest.
3. Simple Interest (S.I.) : If the interest on a sum borrowed for a certain period is
reckoned uniformly, then it is called simple interest.
Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum (p.a.) and Time = T years. Then,
P  R T
(i) S .I . 
100
100  I 100  I 100  I
(ii) P  ; R ; T
R T P T PR
Compound Interest: Sometimes it so happens that the borrower and the lender agree
to fix up a certain unit of time, say yearly or half-yearly or quarterly to settle the
previous account.
In such cases, the amount after first unit of time becomes the principal for the
second unit,the amount after second unit becomes the principal for the third unit and
so on.
After a specified period, the difference between the amount and the money
borrowed is called the Compound Interest (abbreviated as C.I.) for that period.
Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years.

PROBABILITY
IMPORTANT FACTS AND FORMULA
1. Experiment : An operation which can produce some well-defined outcome is

called an experiment
2.Random Experiment: An experiment in which all possible outcome are known and
the exact output cannot be predicted in advance is called an random experiment
Eg of performing random experiment:
(i) Rolling an unbiased dice
(ii)Tossing a fair coin
(iii)Drawing a card from a pack of well shuffled card
(iv)Picking up a ball of certain color from a bag containing ball of different colors
Details:
(i)When we throw a coin. Then either a head(h) or a tail (t) appears.
(ii)A dice is a solid cube, having 6 faces ,marked 1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively when we
throw a die , the outcome is the number that appear on its top face .
(iii)A pack of cards has 52 cards it has 13 cards of each suit ,namely spades, clubs
,hearts and diamonds
Cards of spades and clubs are black cards
Cards of hearts and diamonds are red cards
There are 4 honors of each suit
These are aces ,king ,queen and jack
King, Queen and Jack are called face cards
3.Sample space : When we perform an experiment ,then the set s of all possible
outcome is called the sample space
Eg of sample space:
(i)In tossing a coin ,S={H,T}
(ii)If two coin are tossed ,then S={HH ,TT, HT, TH}.
(iii)In rolling a die we have,s={1,2,3,4,5,6}.
4.Event:any subset of a sample space.
5. Probability of occurrence of an event.
Let S be the sample space and E be the event .
Then, P(E)=n(E)/n(S).
6. Results on probability:
(i) P(sure event) = 1 (ii) 0< P(E)<1 (iii) P(impossible event)=0
(iv) Ffor any event a and b, we have:
P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AB)
(v)If A denotes (not-A),then P(A)=1 – P( A ).

Bar Graph: This section comprises of questions in which the data collected in a
particular discipline are represented in the form of vertical or horizontal bars drawn
by selecting a particular scale.one of the parameters is plotted on the horizontal axis
and the other on the vertical axis . the candidate is required to understand the given
information and thereafetr answer the given questions on the basis of data analysis.
Pie-Graph: The pie-chart or a pie-graph is a method of representing a given

numerical data in the form of sectors of a circle.
The sectors of the circle are constructed in such a way that the area of each sector is
proportional to the corresponding value of the component of the data.
From geometry, we know that the area of a circle is proportional to the central angle.

So, the central angle of each sector must be proportional to the corresponding value of
the component.
Since the sum of all the central angle is 360°, we have
Value of the component
Central angle of the component =  3600

Q (1) During which year did the 'Net Profit ' exceed Rs. 1 crore for the first time ?
(a) 2006-07 (b)2005-06 (c) 2003-04 (d) 2002-03 (e) None of these
Solution :By looking at the table we find option (b) as correct
Q(2) During which year was the " Gross Turnover " closet to thrice the 'Profit before
Interest and Depreciation' ?
(a) 2006-07 (b)2005-06 (c) 2003-04 (d) 2002-03 (e) 2001-02
Solution : Here we have to find out the ratio of "Gross turnover " to the "Profit before
Interest and Depreciation "
for 2006-07 ratio = 2758.99 / 920 = 3.0 , since we get answer by hit and trial of first
option only then we need not have to find other option.
So, correct option is (a) 2006-07

Q(3) During which of the given year did the 'Net profit ' form the highest proportion of
the ' Profit before Interest and Depreciation ?
(a) 2005-06 (b) 2003-04 (c) 2002-03 (d) 2001-02 (e) 2000-01
Solution : Here we will find the reverse ths ratio between ( Profit before Interest and
Depreciation / Net Profit ) and try to find lowest ratio also we use approximation for
saving time
For 2005-06, 81 / 21 = 4 approx.
For 2003-04, 60 / 6.6 = 9 approx
For 2002-03, 520 / 50 = 10 approx
For 2001-02, 40 / 1.8 = 22 approx
For 2000-01, 380 / 10 = 38 approx
So, lowest ratio is for 2005-06 it means reverse ratio between (Net Profit / Profit before
Interest and Depreciation ) will be highest, so option (a) is correct
Q(4) Which of the following registered the lowest increase in terms of rupees from the
year 2005-06 to the year 2006-07 ?
(a) Gross turnover (b) Profit before interest and depreciation (c) Depreciation
(d) Interest (e) Net Profit
Solution : We calculation with approximation in mind

(a) 2758 - 2520= 2200 approx.
(b) 92 -81 =11= 110 approx
(c) 99 - 91.92 = 08.09 approx
(d) 600 - 505 = 95 approx
(e) 220 - 212= 08 approx
So correct option is (e) Net profit
Q(5) The gross Turnover for 2002-03 is of what percentage of the 'Gross Turnover ' for
2005-06 ?
(a) 61 (b) 163 (c) 0.611 (d) 39 (e) 0.006
Solution : 2002-03 Gross Turnover 1538.40

For 2005-06 Gross Turnover 2521.00
So option (a) is correct
