Concept & Tricks on Number System – Part II

188 upvotes 36 comments

Number system is very important subject for CTET, TET, and other teaching
exams. Approximate 4 to 5 question asked from number system in all teaching
exams. In this study notes, we are providing basic concept and
important formula of the number system. 
Basic Formula of Number System:
1. Sum of all the rst n natural numbers =

For example:  1+ 2 +3 +…..+105= 

2. Sum of rst n odd numbers =

For example 1+3+5+7=

=16(as there are four odd numbers)

3. Sum of rst n even numbers = n (n+1)

For example : 2+4+6+8+….+100 (or 50th even number) = 50×(50+1)= 2550
4. Sum of squares of rst n natural numbers =

For example:

5. Sum of cubes of rst n naturals numbers =

For example:

Example:
(1) What is the total of all the even numbers from 1 to 400?
Solution:
From 1 to 400, there are 400 numbers. So, there are 400/2= 200 even numbers.
Hence, sum = 200(200+1) = 40200     (From Rule III)
(2) What is the total of all the even numbers from 1 to 361?
Solution:
From 1 to 361, there are 361, there are 361 numbers; so there are

even numbers. Thus, sum = 180(180+1)=32580

(3) What is the total of all the odd numbers from 1 to 180?
Solution:
Therefore are 180/2 = 90 odd numbers between the given range. So, the sum =

(4) What is the total of all the odd numbers from 1 to 51?
Solution
There are

odd numbers between the given range. So, the sum =

(5) Find the of all the odd numbers from 20 to 101.

Solution:
The required sum = Sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 101.
Sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 20
= Sum of rst 51 odd numbers – Sum of rst 10 odd numbers
=

Miscellaneous
1. In a division sum, we have four quantities – Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and
Remainder. These are connected by the relation.
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
2. When the division is exact, the remainder is zero (0). In this case, the above
relation becomes
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient
Example: 1: The quotient arising from the divisor of 24446 by certain numbers
is 79 and the remainder is 35; what is the divisor?
Solution:
Divisor × Quotient = Dividend -  Remainder
79×Divisor = 24446 -35 =24411
Divisor = 24411 ÷ 79 = 309.
Example: 2: A number when divided by 12 leaves a remainder 7. What
remainder will be obtained by dividing the same number by 7?
Solution:
We see that in the above example, the rst divisor 12 is not a multiple of the
second divisor 7. Now, we take the two numbers 139 and 151, which when
divided by 12, leave 7 as the remainder. But when we divide the above two
numbers by 7, we get the respective remainder as 6 and 4. Thus, we conclude
that the question is wrong.
