Special products:

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2

(a + b) (a – b) = a2 − b2

(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)

(a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab (a – b)

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 – ab + b2)

a3 – b3 = (a – b) (a2 + ab + b2)

if a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc.


Divisibility Rules

The process of checking whether a number is divisible by a given number or not without actual division is called the divisibility rule for that number.

Divisibility by 2:  A number is divisible by 2 if its once place is either 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

Ex:  26 is divisible by 2. 35 not divisible by 2.

Divisibility by 3: If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then that number is divisible by 3.

Ex:  231 → 2 + 3 +1 =6, 6 is divisible by 3

∴ 231 is divisible by 3

436 → 4 + 3 + 6 = 13, 13 is not divisible by 3

∴ 436 is not divisible by 3.

Divisibility by 4:  If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, then that number is divisible by 4.

Ex:  436, 36 is divisible by 4            ∴ 436 is divisible by 4

623, 23 is not divisible by 4      ∴ 623 is not divisible by 4.

Divisibility by 5:  A number is divisible by 5 if it’s one place is either 0 or 5.

Ex: 20, 25 are divisible by 5. 22, 46 are not divisible by 5.

Divisibility by 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 3 and 2.

Ex: 242 is divisible by both 2 and 3     ∴ 242 is divisible by 6

232 is divisible by 3 but not 2        ∴ 232 is not divisible by 6

Divisibility rule by 7: –

First, multiply the last digit of a given number by 2,

subtract this result from the number formed by the remaining digits of a given number.

If that result is divisible by 7, then the given number is divisible by 7.

Ex: 112

Last digit is 2 ⇒ 2 × 2 = 4

Now 11 – 4 = 7

7 is divisible by 7

∴ 112 is divisible by 7.

Divisibility by 8:  if the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then that number is divisible by 8.

Ex: 4232, last three digits 232 are divisible by 8

∴ 4232 is divisible by 8.

Divisibility by 9:  if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then that number is divisible by 9.

Ex:  459, 4 + 5 + 9 = 18 → 18 is divisible by 9       ∴ 459 is divisible by 9

532, 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 → 10 is not divisible by 9       ∴ 532 is not divisible by 9.

Divisibility by 10: – a number is divisible by 10 if its once place is 0.

Ex: 20 is divisible by 10. 22, 45 are not divisible by 10.

Factorial of a number: For positive integer ‘n’, the continued production of first natural numbers is called factorial n and is denoted by n!

Ex: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

7! = 7 × 6 × 5× 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040

Absolute value or Modulus of a number:   Absolute value of a number always gives a positive number.

Modulus of x = x if x ≥ 0

Modulus of x = −x if x < 0

Ex:modulus of a numbers 1

Greatest integral value: The greatest integral value of a number ‘n’ is denoted by [n]

n <[n]< n + 1

Ex: [3.2] = 3; [5.6] = 5; [– 5. 4] = – 6


HCF and LCM

Factors: a number that divides the other number exactly is called a factor of that number.

6 = 1×6

= 2×3      ⟹ factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6

Common factors:  Common factors are those numbers, which are factors of all the given numbers.

Ex: 12, 9

Factors of 12 are:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

Factors of 9 are:  1, 3 and 9

∴ Common factors of 12, 9 are 1,3

Perfect number: If the sum of the factors of a number (except the number itself) is equal to that number, then it is called a Perfect number.

Ex: 6

The factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, 6

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Therefore 6 is a perfect number.

Highest Common Factor (H.C.F):- The highest common factor of two or more numbers is the highest of their common factors. It is also called ad Greatest Common Divisor (G.C.D).

Ex: H.C.F of 12, 9

Factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3,4, 6, 12

  Factors of 9 = 1, 3, 9

Common factors of 12, 9 = 1,3

The highest common factor is 3

∴ H.C.F of 12, 9 is 3

Method of finding HCF:

Prime factorization method: The HCF of 9, 12 can be found by the prime factorization method as follows.

Ex: – HCF of 9, 12

LCM of numbers 1

The common factor of 12, 9 is 3

∴ H.C.F of 12, 9 is 3

Continue division method: Euclid invented this method. Divide the larger number by smaller and then divide the previous divisor by the remainder until the remainder zero. The last divisor is the HCF of given numbers.

HCF 1

∴ HCF of 9, 12 is 3

Common multiple: multiples of 3 are 3, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39,42…

Multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52….

Common multiples of 3 and 4 are 12, 24, 36….

Least common multiple (LCM): The least common multiple of two or more given numbers is the lowest of their common multiple.

Ex: LCM of 3 and 4

Multiples of 3 =    3, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39,42…

Multiples of 4 =   4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52….

Common multiples of 3 and 4 = 12, 24, 36….

∴ LCM of 3, 4 is 12.

Methods of finding LCM:

Prime factorization method: –

The LCM of 6, 15 by using the prime factorization method is as follows:

Prime factors of 6 =   2 × 3

Prime factors of 15 = 5× 3

1.Express each number as a product of prime factors

2.Take the common factors both: 3

3.Take the extra factors of both 6 and 15 i.e., 2 and 5

4.The product of all common factors of two numbers and extra common factors of both finds LCM.

           ∴ LCM of 6 and 15 = (3) × 2 × 5 = 30.

Division method: – To find LCM of 6 and 15:

Arrange the given numbers in a row.

Then divide the least prime number, which divides at least two of the given numbers, and carry forward the numbers, which are not divisible by that number if any.

Repeat the process till no numbers have a common factor other than 1.

LCM is the product of the divisors and the remaining numbers.

Ex: –    Find the LCM of 6, 15

LCM2

                            ∴ LCM of 6, 15 = 3 × 2 × 5 = 30.

Note:  the product of LCM and HCF of given numbers = the product of given numbers.

            Ex: – 6 × 15 = 30 × 3 = 90.

∎ HCF of co-prime numbers is 1 and LCM is their product

∎ HCF of fractions = HCF of Fractions

∎ LCM of fractions =LCM of fractions


Fractions

Fraction: Fraction is a part of the whole. The whole may be a single object or group of objects.

In, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

Proper fraction: if the numerator of a fraction is less than the denominator, then the fraction is called a proper fraction.

Ex:Fractions 2   etc.

Improper fraction: if the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator, then the fraction is called an improper fraction.

Ex: Fractions 3 etc.

Mixed fraction: An improper fraction can be written as a combination of a whole and part. Such a fraction is called a mixed fraction.

Parts in a decimal fraction:

In a decimal fraction, a dot(.) or a decimal point separates the whole part of the number from the fractional part.

The part right side of the decimal point is called the decimal part of the number as it represents a part of 1. The part left to the decimal point is called the integral part of the number.

In 2.35, 2 is an integral part and 35 is the decimal part

It is read as two-point three five

Addition and Subtracting of Decimal Fractions:

while adding or subtracting decimal numbers, the digits in the same places must be added or subtracted.

Unitary method:  The method in which we first find the value of one unit and then the value of the required no. of units is known as the unitary method.

Direct proportion: In two quantities, when one quantity increase(decreases) the other quantity also increases(decreases) then two quantities are in direct proportion.

Inverse proportion: In two quantities, when one quantity increase(decreases) the other quantity also decreases (increases) then two quantities are in direct proportion.


Percentage

Per cent means per 100, ‘x’ per cent means ‘x’ hundredth.

x% = Percentage 1

Ex: 30% =Percentage 2

Converting a fraction into a percentage:

Ex: Convert Percentage 4 into the percentage

Sol: Percentage 4  = %  =  20 %

∎ If the price of commodity decreased by R%, then the increase in consumption so as not to

decrease the expenditure is   Percentage 6

∎ If the price of commodity increased by R%, then the increase in consumption so as not to

increase the expenditure is   Percentage 7

Results on machines: If the present value of a machine is P and it deprecates at the rate of R% per year, then

  • Value of the Machine After ‘n’ years = Percentage 8
  • Value of the Machine ‘n’ years ago =Percentage 9

Results on Population: If the present Population is P and it increases at the rate of R% per year, then

  • Population after ‘n’ years = Percentage 10
  • Population ‘n’ years ago =Percentage 11

∎ If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by Percentage 7

∎ If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A byPercentage 6


Profit and loss

Cost price (C.P.): – Cost price is the price for which an article is bought or the price paid by a customer to buy an article.

Selling price (S.P.): – Selling price is the price for which an article is sold.

Profit: – If the Selling price is greater than the cost price, then we get the profit.

                  Profit = S.P – C.P.

Loss: – If the Selling price is less than the Cost price then, we get lost. 

                 Loss = C.P – S.P.

Some formulae in profit and loss:

profit and loss %

For-Profit:

SP and CP for profit

For Loss:

SP and CP for loss 

∎ When a person sells two similar items, one at the gain of x%, and another one at a loss of x%, then the loss percentageProfit and Loss 1

∎If the selling price is equal to cost price but uses false weight then

Gain% = Profit and Loss 2  %

∎ if the selling price of an item is at a profit of x% but uses false weight which is y% less than the original weight then

Gain % = Profit and Loss 3%

∎ if the selling price of an item is at a loss of x% but uses false weight which is y% less than the original weight then

Loss or Gain % = Profit and Loss 4%


Simple interest

Principal: – The money which is borrowed is called ‘principal’(P).

Rate of interest: – percentage of interest per year is called the rate of interest(R).

Time: – The period for which money is called time(T).

Interest: – The money which is paid for the use of the principal is called interest (S.I).

Amount: – The total money which is paid after the expiry of the time is called the amount.

simple interest

Amount = Principal + S.I

Amount for SI


Compound Interest

Compound interest allows us to earn interest on interest.

Amount = amount for compound interest 1 ( interest compounded annually)

P = principal, R = rate of interest, and n = no. of terms or time period.

Amount = amount for compound interest half yearly ( interest compounded half-yearly)

∎When the rates are different for different years, like X%, Y%, and Z% for first, second and third year respectively, then

Amount = compound interest for differt rates of different years

∎ the present worth of ₹ p due n years hence is given then present worth = compound interest for due after n years

∎The time period after which interest is added to the principal is called the conversion period. When interest is compounded h yearly, there are two conversion periods in a year. In such a case, the half-year rate will be half of the annual rate.


Partnership

A business which is undertaken by two or more persons jointly is called ‘Partnership. Those persons are called Partners.

Types of Partnership:

The partnership is of two types (i) General or Simple partnership  (ii) Compound partnership

(i) Simple partnership or General partnership:

In this type, the period of the investment is the same. Partners divide either profit and loss in the ratio of their investments.

If X and Y invests ₹x and ₹y respectively in a business for one year, then the end of the year

X’s share of profit: Share of s profit  = x: y

(ii) Compound Partnership:

In this type, the investment and period of time are different. Their investments have to be reduced to invests per month or year. The profit or loss will be divided in the ratio of these converted investments.

If X invests ₹x perp months and Y invests ₹y per q months, then

X’s share of profit: Share of s profit  = x: y


Time and work

∎ If A can do a piece of work in ‘x’ days, then A’s one day’s work =

∎ If A’s one-day work =1/x, then A can finish the work in ‘x’ days.

∎ If the work done by A is twice the work done by B, then

The ratio of work done by A and B is 2: 1

The ratio of time taken by A and B to finish the work is  1: 2

∎ If the work done by A is thrice as the work done by B, then

The ratio of work done by A and B is 3: 1

The ratio of time taken by A and B to finish the work is  1 : 3


Time and Distance

If the distance travelled = d, Speed = s and Time taken to travel = t, then

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ d = s × t

Speed = Distance and Time 1 ; Time =Distance and Time 2

∎ Relation between the speed in kilo metre per hour and speed in meter per seconds is

18 km/hr = 5 m/sec

x km/ hr = Distance and Time 3 m/sec

x m/sec =Distance and Time 4 km/sec

Relative Speed:

∎ In the same direction relative speed = Difference of the Speeds

∎ In the opposite direction relative speed = sum of the Speeds

∎ If the two-object moving in the same direction with speeds x km/hr and y km/hr respectively, then their relative speed = (x – y) km/hr.

∎ If the two-object move in the opposite direction with speeds x km/hr and y km/hr respectively, then their relative speed = (x + y) km/hr.

∎ Time is taken to meet the object =Distance and Time 5


Pipes and Cisterns

Inlet: A pipe connected with a tank or cistern, that fills it is called Inlet.

Outlet:  A pipe connected with a tank or cistern, that emptying is called an outlet.

∎If a pipe can fill a tank in x hrs. then in one hour, it can fill lDistance and Time 7 part of the tank.

∎If a pipe can empty a tank in y hrs. then in one hour, it can empty Distance and Time 8part of the tank.

∎ If one pipe can fill a tank in x hrs. and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hrs. then on opening, both the pipes, the tank can fill in 1           hour = Distance and Time 9

∎ If one pipe can fill a tank in x hrs. and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hrs. then on opening, both the pipes, the tank can empty in      1 hour =Distance and Time 10


Boats and Streams

Downstream:  In water, the direction along the water flow (stream) is called Downstream

Upstream:  In water, the direction against the stream is called Upstream.

∎If the speed of an object moving in water is x km/hr and the speed of the water flow (stream) is y km/hr then

For upstream relative speed = (x – y) km/hr.

For downstream relative speed = (x + y) km/hr.

Speed in still water = ½ (x + y) km/hr

    Rate of stream = ½ (x – y) km/hr


For Train Problems

∎ Time is taken by a train of length x meters to cross (pass) a pole (or a standing man) is equal to the time taken by the train to cover x meters.

∎ Time is taken by a train of length x meters to cross a stationary object (like a bridge) of lengthy meters is the time taken by train to cover (x + y) meters.

∎ If the two trains moving in the same direction with speeds x km/hr and y km/hr respectively, then their relative speed = (x – y) km/hr.

∎ If the two trains moving in the opposite direction with speeds x km/hr and y km/hr respectively, then their relative speed = (x + y) km/hr.

∎ If two trains of length meters and b meters are moving in opposite directions at x km/hr and y km/hr then the time taken by the trains to cross each other = Distance and Time 6  hrs.

∎ If two trains of length meters and b meters are moving in the same direction at x km/hr and y km/hr then the time taken by the trains to cross each other = Distance and Time 11  hrs.


Triangle

A closed figure with three-line segments is called a triangle.

triangle 1

A triangle has 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices.

Types of the triangle:

According to the sides:

Scalene triangle: – If no two sides of the triangle are equal then it is called a scalene triangle.

Isosceles triangle- If any two sides of a triangle are equal, then it is called an isosceles triangle.

Equilateral triangle: – If all sides of a triangle are equal, then it is called an equilateral triangle

According to the angles:

Acute angled triangle: – If all angles of a triangle are acute, then it is called an acute-angled triangle.

Right-angled triangle:– If one of the angles of a triangle is a right angle(900), then it is called a right-angled triangle.

Obtuse angled triangle: If one of the angles of a triangle is obtuse, then it is called an obtuse-angled triangle.

Relationship between the sides of a triangle:

∎In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of two sides is greater than the third side.

∎ In a triangle, the difference between the lengths of the two sides is less than the third side.

Altitude: In a triangle, a perpendicular line drawn from the vertex to its opposite side is called Altitude.

∎We can draw three altitudes in a triangle.

∎ In an Isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex bisects the base.

Median: In a triangle, a line drawn from the vertex to the midpoint of its opposite side is called the median.

∎We can draw three medians in a triangle.

∎ The median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Circumcentre:

The point of concurrency of medians in a triangle is called circumcentre.

∎ Circumcentre divides median in the ratio 2: 1.

Angle sum property of triangles:

Some of the angles in a triangle is 1800

An Exterior angle: The angle formed in the exterior of a triangle when one of the sides is produced is called an exterior of the triangle.

∎ An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.

Vertical angle bisector theorem: The bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle divides the base in the ratio of the other two sides.

Similar triangles:

Two triangles are said to be similar if (i) their corresponding angles are equal (ii) their corresponding side are in proportion.

∎ The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.

∎ The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding Altitudes.

Pythagorean theorem:

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

∎ The line joining the midpoints of non-parallel sides of a trapezium is parallel to each of the parallel sides and equal to half of their sum.

Parallelogram: In a quadrilateral two pairs of opposite sides are parallel, then it is called Parallelogram.

∎ The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other and not equal.

∎ The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal area.

∎ In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal and opposite angles are equal.

Clocks

A clock has two hands (i) Shorter hand or hour hand (ii) Longer hand or Minute hand

∎For every hour, both hands coincide once.

Hour hand:

Angle made by Hour hand in 12 hours = 3600

In one hour, an hour hand can make the angle = 300.

In one minute, the hour hand can make the angle =Clocks 1

Minute hand:

Angle made by Minute hand in 60 minutes = 3600

In one minute, Minute hand can make the angle = 60

Relative speed:

The relative speed of the Minute hand and Hour hand = Clocks 3= Clocks 2

∎ When two hands are rotated in the clockwise direction

  1. They may be opposite to each other.
  2. They may coincide with each other.
  3. They may be perpendicular to each other.

Two hands – Coincide:

The angle between two hands = 00

In the span of 1 hour, they coincide only 1 time.

12 hours, they coincide 11 times.

1 day, they coincide 22 times.

Two hands – opposite direction:

The angle between two hands =1800

In the span of 1 hour, they coincide only 1 time.

12 hours, they coincide 11 times.

1 day, they coincide 22 times.

Two hands – perpendicular:

The angle between two hands = 900

In the span of 1 hour, they coincide 2 times.

12 hours, they coincide 22 times.

1 day, they coincide 44 times.

∎ When two hands are opposite to each other than those two hands are 30 minutes spaces apart.

∎ When two hands are perpendicular to each other than those two hands are 15 minutes spaces apart.

Formula:

M = Clocks 4(H × 300± θ)

Where M = Minutes

H = Hours (starting hour)

θ = angle between two hands

If starting hour is at 12’O clock, then take H = 0
