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

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 T n = 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 = L1 / 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

Geometrical Mensurations
PROPERTIES of POLYGONS
For any n sided polygon

Measure of Each Interior Angle = (n - 2)*1800 / n
Measure of Each Exterior Angle = 3600/n
Number of Diagonals = ..
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 x4 + 4x3 + 5x2 + 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 x5 2x4 + 9x3 5x2 + 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
Here 36,800 = 200 * 184
36800 + 82 = 36800 + 64 = 36864

-8
184
CLOCKS
Speed of Hour and
= 3600/ 6 = 60/second
Speed of Minute Hand
= 3600/ (60 x 12) = 0.50/second
Relative Speed of Hour and Minute Hands
= 60 0.50 = (11/2) 0/second =5.50/second
Minute and hour hands meet for 11 times in 12 hours
Hands of clock will be 22 times at right angle to each other in 12 hours.
Angle between two hands of a clock is given by
|30H 11/2M|0
