ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION
Arithmetic Progression:
We would able to determine the general term of natural numbers, whole numbers and integers. However
it is difficult to do that for rational numbers. Ever wondered why? It is because the difference between any
two consecutive natural or whole numbers or integers is a constant. It is not so in case of rational numbers.
Natural numbers, whole numbers and integers are examples of arithmetic progressions. An arithmetic
progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is
constant. How do we find the sum of the first 10 terms? It is not convenient to add all the individual terms
to obtain the sum. There is a formula to find the sum of the first 'n' terms of an AP.
An arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to
the preceding term, except the first term.
This fixed number is called the common difference of the AP. It can be positive, negative or zero
Eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . is an arithmetic progression.
An arithmetic progression having finite number of terms is called a finite arithmetic progression.
An arithmetic progression having infinite number of terms is called an infinite arithmetic progression.
General form of an A.P.
The nth term an of the AP with first term a and common difference d is given by 𝒂𝒏 =a+(n-1)d
▪ The second term is 𝒂𝟐 =a+(2-1)d
▪ The third term is 𝒂𝟑 =a+(3-1)d
▪ 𝑎𝑛 is also called the general term of the AP.
Infinite AP’s do not have a last term. For instance if the first term a is 6 and the common difference d is 3
then the infinite AP is 6, 9,12, 15, . . .

Longitudinal waves:
When during the propagation of sound waves, medium particles vibrate along the direction of the
propagation of the wave. These waves are termed as longitudinal waves.
Propagation of a sound wave takes place due to the formation of large number of compression and
rarefaction.
During compression molecules of the medium stores energy and during each rarefaction molecules
expands energy to the next set of molecules, This process continues and sound wave propagates from
sound source to the listener.
• When a sound wave returns after striking with a surface such as wall,sheet,or rigid surface. It is
said to be the reflected sound.
• A sound wave does not require a smooth surface to be reflected. It may reflect from any kind of
surface.
• But the size of the surface should be bigger than the wavelength of the sound wave.
Echo:
The sound heared due to the reflection from a cliff or a rigid surface after the original sound ceases is
known as echo.
Let the distance travelled by the original wave from sound source to the obstacle be d.
The reflected wave will cover the same distance to come back from the obstacle.
According to our sensitivity of hearing, our ears receive a fresh sound wave after each 0.1 second
So

d = 17 m
• Thus to hear an echo distinctly, the reflecting surface should be at a minimum distance of 17 m.
• Size of the reflecting body should be bigger than the wavelength of the sound
• Intensity of the original sound and hence the reflected sound should be sufficient enough to be
audible.
Use of echoes:
• Dolphins, bats and fisherman send ultrasonic waves and hear their echo. By doing so they are able
to detect the location and distance of the reflecting object or other animals.
• SONAR: Sound navigation and ranging technique is used to detect the rocks or the obstacles below
the surface of the water by the ships. (By the use of ultrasonic waves which have high frequency
and hence are very energetic.)
• In medical field, phenomenon of echo is used for imaging human organs. Process is termed as
ultrasonography.
When vibrations of a body takes place in absence of any resistive force body is said to perform Natural
vibrations and its frequency is termed as Natural frequency.
Damped vibrations:
Vibration which take place in presence of some resistive force are termed as damped vibrations.
Forced vibrations:
When a body vibrates under the influence of an external periodic force, its vibrations are known as forced
vibrations.
Resonance:
When frequency of external applied force becomes equal to the natural frequency, the amplitude of
vibration of body becomes maximum. This condition is called resonance.
WORKSHEET
Sulphuric acid is produced from sulphur, oxygen and water via the
conventional contact process or the wet sulphuric acid process (WSA).
The Contact process can be divided into five stages:
1. Combining of sulphur and oxygen (O2) to form sulphur dioxide
2. Purifying the sulphur dioxide in a purification unit
3. Adding an excess of oxygen to sulphur dioxide in the presence of the
catalyst vanadium pentoxide, under temperatures of 450 °C and pressure of 1-
2 atm
4. The sulphur trioxide formed is added to sulphuric acid which gives rise
to oleum (disulphuric acid)
5. The oleum is then added to water to form sulphuric acid which is very
concentrated.

• Human is the most intelligent animal among the species inhibiting in the world. He has learnt the
way in which he can protect himself from natural calamities, diseases etc. This leads to undue
increase in human population.
• To understand the causes, effects and control of population explosion, one should know about the
basic terms and definitions, which are discussed below:
• Population density: The population density is defined as the number of individuals of a species
inhibiting a unit area.
• Growth rate of population: It is defined as the difference between the birth rate and death rate in
a given amount of population in a given time.
• Population growth: It is the change in the population over a period of time. It is the collection of
inter-breeding organisms of a particular species.
• Demography: The scientific statistical study of human population is called demography. It deals
with three phenomena;
• Man has established new housing colonies, markets, hospitals; National highways and hydropower
projects and forests have been wiped out. These destructive activities have increased and led to
ecological imbalance.
• Environmental degradation is also due to transport development in the different parts of the world.
For example, means of conveyance (i.e. using car, bikes etc), using more and more household
equipments and buying more clothes, shoes, accessories etc.
• Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The sustainable
development can be achieved by taking following measures :
o Process of recycling and reusing natural resources.
o Increase in use of renewable resources such as solar energy, wind power etc.
o Judicial use of available natural resources.
• It is necessary to control the rate of population for better future of mankind, because the rise in
population density causes many problems, such as decline in general health and per capita income
and depletion of natural resources.
• Population growth can be checked through – (i) Family planning (ii) Mass media
• Family planning – Efficient, cheap, safe, reversible and acceptable methods should be employed for
birth control. Following are the scientific methods for birth control –
▪ By taking oral contraceptive pills. These pills suppress the pregnancy by suppressing
the production of ovum by hormones.
▪ Following are the methods to prevent fertilization of ovum by sperm:
▪ Use of intra-uterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) like copper-T or loop.
▪ Use of condoms, diaphragm or spermicidal cream.
▪ Vasectomy i.e. cutting of sperm duct in males and tubectomy i.e. cutting of oviduct
in females.
• Mass Media or Communication: Radio, television, newspapers, magazines, hoardings and posters
should be employed to spread the message of family planning and birth control and its advantages.
• Family Welfare: The government has opened family welfare department and dispensaries to
provide necessary help for birth control. The inverted red triangle is the popular sign of Family
Welfare Centre Department. Family welfare centres have three aspects which includes :

• Sowed the seed of nationalism. They helped in developing and consolidating feelings of national
unity.
• Helped in popularizing demarcation and modern ideas and outlook, civil liberties, secularism, etc.
• Exposed the explorative nature of the British rule in India.
• Laid the firm foundation of a vigorous National Movement.
• In 1886, the Public Service Commission was appointed by the British.
• A resolution was passed by the House of Commons in 1893 for simultaneous acceptance of the ICS
in London and India.
• In 1892 the Indian Council Act was passed by the British.
• They were dependent on the generosity of British rather than relying on their own strength to fight
the Imperial might.
• They failed to realize that interests of Britishers and Indians clashed with each other. British was
using India’s resources to increase their wealth.
• They failed to draw masses into mainstream. Their area of influence was only limited to urban
educated Indians.
In the initial stage of the Congress, the British Government favored the Congress. In fact, a few
Government officials like Sir William Wedderbwin, Sir Henry Cotton also attended the First Session of the
Congress.
In 1887, Lord Dufferin attacked the National Congress in his speech and ridiculed it as representing only a
microscopic minority of the people. British officials criticized the National Congress and branded its leaders
as ‘disloyal babus’ and ‘violent villains’.
Dadabhai Naoroji generally known as the ‘Grand Old Man of India’ was looked upon as India’s unofficial
ambassador during his stay in England. He was elected to the Bombay Municipal Corporation and later, to
the Town Council. He was the founder of Bombay Association. The newspaper Rast Goftar was edited by
him.
In 1865, he founded the London India Society in collaboration with WC Bonnerjee. The theory of Drain was
presented by him in his book ‘Poverty and Un-British Rule in India.’ After spending years collecting
statistics, Dadabhai propounded that “The inevitable consequences of foreign domination is the drain of
wealth of the subject nation to the country of the rulers.” Dadabhai proved that the average annual
income of an Indian was barely Rs.20.
Naoroji was thrice elected as the President of Congress. The credit for demanding Swaraj from the
Congress platform for the first time (1906) goes to him. In England during the year 1892, he presented the
cause of the Indians in the house. In 1866, he established the East India Association in London. The East
India Association soon became popular and its branches were set-up in Calcutta, Bombay and Madras.
Gokhale presided over the Varanasi Session of the INC in 1905. In year 1905, he founded the ‘Servants of
India Society’ and went to England and Africa. Srinivas Shastri and Hridayanath Kunzru were some of the
important members of the society.
Surendranath Banerjee was a nationalist leader, popular journalist and also a dedicated educationist, who
advocated the use of constitutional methods for the attainment of India’s goals.
He was the first Indian to qualify for the Indian Civil Services Examination, and was elected from the Bengal
Council four times. The Arms Act, the Vernacular Press Act and the lowering of age for appearing in the ICS
Examination from 21 to 19 years were all opposed by him. He also opposed the Morely-Minto Reforms and
the Partition of Bengal.

It is a process of combining various inputs to make something for consumptions. Production is an outcome
of economic activity. For making or producing something, we need some tangible and intangible materials.
These materials are the various factors of production. Consider a simple example of paper crafting. To make
an origami, we need paper, money to buy it, and the most important technique of folding.
Let us understand what we mean by the factors of production and their types.
Factors of Production
Anything that helps in production is the factor of production. These are the various factors by mean any
resource is transformed into a more useful commodity or service.
They are the inputs for the process of production. They are the starting point of the production process.
Factors of production are the parameters which
affect the output of production.

Packages are used in Java in order to prevent naming conflicts, to control access, to make searching/locating and usage of
classes, interfaces, enumerations and annotations easier, etc.
A Package can be defined as a grouping of related types classes, interfaces, enumerationsandannotations providing access
protection and name space management.
java.io - classes for input , output functions are bundled in this package
Programmers can define their own packages to bundle group of classes/interfaces, etc. It is a good practice to group related
implemented by you so that a programmer can easily determine that the classes, interfaces, enumerations, annotations are r
Since the package creates a new namespace there won't be any name conflicts with names in other packages. Using packag
is easier to provide access control and it is also easier to locate the related classes.
Creating a package:
While creating a package, you should choose a name for the package and include a package statement along with that nam
top of every source file that contains the classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types that you want to include in t
package.
The package statement should be the first line in the source file. There can be only one package statement in each source fi
and it applies to all types in the file.
If a package statement is not used then the class, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types will be placed in the curren
default package.
To compile the Java programs with package statements you have to do use -d option as shown below.
javac -d D
estination_folder file_name.java
Then a folder with the given package name is created in the specified destination, and the compiled class files will be
placed in that folder
Example:
Let us look at an example that creates a package called animals. It is a good practice to use names of packages with lower
case letters to avoid any conflicts with the names of classes, interfaces.
Below given package example contains interface named animals:
public void eat(); public void t ravel(); }Now, let us implement the above interface in the same package
animals:
package animals;
= n
MammalInt m ew MammalInt(); m
.eat(); m
.travel(); } } Now compile
Now a package/folder with the name animals will be created in the current directory and these class files will be placed in it a
shown below.
You can execute the class file with in the package and get the result as shown below.
If a class wants to use another class in the same package, the package name does not need to be used. Classes in the same
package find each other without any special syntax.
Example:
Here, a class named Boss is added to the payroll package that already contains Employee. The Boss can then refer to the
Employee class without using the payroll prefix, as demonstrated by the
following Boss class.
package payroll;
oss {
public class B
public void payEmployee(Employee e
) {
e.mailCheck(); } }What happens if the Employee class is not in the payroll package? The Boss class must then use
one of the following techniques for referring to a class in a different package.
The fully qualified name of the class can be used. For example:
payroll.Employee
The package can be imported using the import keyword and the wild card ∗ . For example:
import payroll.*;
The class itself can be imported using the import keyword. For example:
import payroll.Employee;
Note: A class file can contain any number of import statements. The import statements must appear after the package
statement and before the class declaration.
The name of the package becomes a part of the name of the class, as we just discussed in the previous section.
The name of the package must match the directory structure where the corresponding bytecode resides.
Put the source code for a class, interface, enumeration, or annotation type in a text file whose name is the simple name of the
type and whose extension is .java. For example:
package vehicle;
ar {
public class C
// Class implementation. }Now, put the source file in a directory whose name reflects the name of the package to w
the class
belongs:
....\vehicle\Car.java
Example: The company had a com.apple.computers package that contained a Dell.java source file, it would be contained in a
series of subdirectories like this:
....\com\apple\computers\Dell.j ava
At the time of compilation, the compiler creates a different output file for each class, interface and enumeration defined in it. T
base name of the output file is the name of the type, and its extension is .class
For example:
}class U
ps{
.\com\apple\computers\Dell.class
.\com\apple\computers\Ups.class
You can import all the classes or interfaces defined in \com\apple\computers\ as follows:
import com.apple.computers.*;
Like the .java source files, the compiled .class files should be in a series of directories that reflect the package name. Howeve
path to the .class files does not have to be the same as the path to the .java source files. You can arrange your source and c
directories separately, as:
<path-one>\sources\com\apple\computers\Dell.java
<path-two>\classes\com\apple\computers\Dell.class
By doing this, it is possible to give the classes directory to other programmers without revealing your sources. You also need
manage source and class files in this manner so that the compiler and the Java Virtual Machine JVM can find all the types yo
program uses.
The full path to the classes directory, <path-two>\classes, is called the class path, and is set with the CLASSPATH sy
variable. Both the compiler and the JVM construct the path to your .class files by adding the package name to the class path.
Say <path-two>\classes is the class path, and the package name is com.apple.computers, then the compiler and JVM will loo
for .class files in <path-two>\classes\com\apple\compters.
A class path may include several paths. Multiple paths should be separated by a semicolon Windows or colon Unix. By defau
compiler and the JVM search the current directory and the JAR file containing the Java platform classes so that these directo
are automatically in the class path.
To display the current CLASSPATH variable, use the following commands in Windows and UNIX

What is BufferedReader in Java?
BufferedReader is a Java class that reads text from the input stream. It buffers the characters so that it can get the efficient reading of
characters, arrays, etc. It inherits the reader class and makes the code efficient since we can read the data line-by-line with the
readline() method. There are a few pointers we have to keep in mind while working with BufferedReader class in Java.
We may have to specify the buffer size even though the default is large enough for any purpose.
With each request made of a reader a corresponding, a read request is also made of an underlying character.
It is always advised to wrap a BufferedReader class around any reader such as InputStreamReaders.
For the programs that use DataInputaStreams for textual input, an appropriate BufferedReader replaces the DataInputStream to
localize it.
Method Description
BufferedReader Scanner
Synchronous and should be used with multiple threads Not synchronous and not used with multiple threads
Faster than Scanner Slower because it does parsing of the input data
There is no ambiguity related to nextline() method There are a lot of problems with the nextline() method.
Uses buffering to read characters from the character-input stream It is a simple text scanner which parses primitive types and strings

• LONG TERM SOURCES ARE
1. SHARES:
• EQUITY AND PREFERENCE SHARES
2. DEBENTURES
3. RETAINED EARNINGS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (NOT IN SYLLABUS)
Extra points:
1. Dividend is not a business expense and so is not allowed as deduction. On the contrary, interest on
debentures is a expense and so allowed as a deduction.
2. In the event of winding up, debentures get priority of repayment over shares.
3. Shares cannot be converted as opposed to debentures are convertible.
4. There is no security charge created for payment of shares. Conversely, security charge is created for
the payment of debentures.
5. A trust deed is not executed in case of shares whereas trust deed is executed when the debentures
are issued to the public.
6. Shares are issued at a discount subject to some legal compliance. Debentures can be issued at a
discount without any legal compliance.
