Mental Math for Faster Calculation!
In this day and age we’ve become so much dependent on mechanical devices that we have almost forgotten how
to use our mind. We need calculators (if not computers) to add our shopping bills. Daily life tosses plenty of math
problems our way. Mental calculation comprises arithmetical calculations using only the human brain, with no help
from calculator, computer or even pen & paper but easily and speedily.
Being able to perform arithmetic quickly and mentally can greatly boost your self-esteem, especially if you don’t
consider yourself to be very good at Math. And, getting comfortable with arithmetic might just motivate you to
dive deeper into other things mathematical.
Mental math tricks are just useful not only in school, but also in everyday life. And I’m not saying that “everyday
life” has to be a career in the research of quantum mechanics or engineering massive skyscrapers. In fact, the
uses for mental math are so broad that it is almost impossible to tell about all the applications. Whether it is
figuring out your tip when you’re done eating a restaurant or finding the best price for a new car – mental math
has got you covered.
Learning to perform fast mental math calculation will help you immensely irrespective of which field of life you
deal with. Knowing these mental math tricks will give you a positive edge over the others. Whether you are a
student, aspiring engineer, statistician, scientist, school teacher or anyone else dealing with numbers, learning
these quick mental tricks and techniques is always going to benefit you.
These amazing Tricks are so easy to learn and apply that you will surely benefit from them and even if your Math
fundamentals are weak, they will become rock solid. Knowing these mental math tricks will give you a positive
edge over others and you will be able…
 to do long calculations in few seconds. That too mentally.

 to avoid making any calculation errors.
 to impress anybody with your superior Math skills.
 to get better grades / Score in any Math test.
Helps you clear Math or Data Interpretation section of competitive exams like SAT, GRE, GMAT, IBA, MBA, BCS,

Mentally calculate percentages
There are some percentages that are easy to calculate mentally. 50% means half, 25% means 1/4 and 75% mean
¾.
 Finding 10% of a number is one of the most useful and also one of the easiest. To find 10% all we need
to do is move/shift the decimal one place to the left. Thus 10% of 543 = 54.3
 1% is just as easy too. Shifting the decimal point to 2 digits left. So, 1% of 654 = 6.54
 100% is the easiest by far. The number does not change. So, 100% of 765 is the number itself i.e. 765
 50% is just the number divided by 2. So, 50% of 444 = 222
 15% is just 10%+5%. So, 15% of 24 =? 10% of 24 is, 2.4 and 5% is just half of 10%. So we divide 2.4
by 2 to get 1.2. So, add them up 2.4+1.2= 3.6 which is 15% of 24.
 62% of 420 would be 50%+10%+2% which is 210 + 42 + 8.4 = 260.4
 22% of 324 would be 10%+10%+2% i.e. 32.4×2 +3.24×2 = 64.8 + 6.48 = 71.28
 16% of 42 would be 10%+5%+1% i.e. 4.2 + 2.1 + 0.42 = 6.72
a% of b = b% of a: What’s 16% of 25? The same as 25% of 16 = 4 / What’s 43% of 200? Same as 200% of 43
= 86. 18% of 25=?
45% of 1600 = (50% - 5%) of 1600 = 800-80=720

Partnership
Concept: “Profits are always distributed in the ratio of the capitals, if other conditions are the same” – This is the
base line of the chapter “PARTNERSHIP.” If the time periods are not the same, the profits are distributed in the
ratio of “Time-equivalent investment” [products of corresponding “capital” and “time period”].
“Capital” and “time period” are inversely proportional. Capitals are in the ratios of profits divided by
corresponding timing. Similarly, Time periods are in the ratios of profits divided by the corresponding capitals.
The facts can be summarized as:
(1) P1 : P2 : P3 = (C1× T1) : (C2×T2) : (C3× T3)
(2) C1 : C2 : C3 = : :
(3) T1 : T2 : T3 = : :

OVERVIEW OF THE LESSON
ANGLES
An angle is formed when two lines intersect at a point.
# Classification of Angles:
 An acute angle measures less than 90.
 A right angle measures exactly 90
 An obtuse angle measures between 90 and 180
 A straight angle measures exactly 180
 A reflex angle measures between 180 and 360
# If the sides of the angle form a straight line, then the angle is said to be a straight angle and has 180
.
# A circle has 360 and a straight angle is a turning through a half circle. All other angles are either
greater or less than 180.
# If two angles have a common vertex and a common leg, and lie at opposite directions of the
common leg, they are called Adjacent angles.
# Two adjacent angles are called Complementary angles or Complements of one another if their
sum is 90. For example, an angle of 30 and an angle of 60 are complementary if they are adjacent.
# Two adjacent angles are called Supplementary angles or supplements of one another if their sum
is 180. For example, an angle of 82and an angle of 98 are supplementary if they are adjacent. In
the given figure, AED is a supplement of BED and vice versa.
D A
E
B C
# When a pair of straight lines intersect, the opposite angles are called Vertical angles and are
equal. In the above diagram, AED = BEC [Vertical angles] and BED = CEA.
# When a pair of parallel lines are crossed by a third straight line (called a transversal), then all the
acute angles formed are equal, and all of the obtuse angles are equal. [Fred’s Theorem]
Example: In the diagram below, angles 1, 4, 5, and 8 are all equal. Angles 2, 3, 6, and 7 are also
equal. Here, 5 and 4 are called alternate angles, and 5 and 1 are called corresponding angles.
Moreover, 3 + 5 = 180

TRIANGLES
A triangle is a closed figure with three sides, each side being a line segment. The sum of the angles
of a triangle is always 180.
# Classification of Triangles:
 Scalene triangles are triangles with no two sides equal. Scalene triangles also have no two
angles equal.
 Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and two equal angles which are opposite to the
equal sides.
 Equilateral triangles have all three sides and all three angles equal. Since the sum of the
three angles of a triangle is 180, each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60.
# A Right triangle has one angle equal to a right angle (90). The sum of the other two angles of a
right triangle is, therefore, 90. In a right triangle, the longest side (opposite to the right angle) is called
2 2 2
a Hypotenuse. According to Pythagoras theorem, (Base) + (Height) = (Hypotenuse)
# In any triangle, the sum of the length of two sides must be greater than the third side.
# In any triangle, the length of any side must be greater than the difference between the length of the
other two sides.
# An Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite Interior angles.
# In any triangle, the angle opposite to the greater side is greater than the angle opposite to the
smaller side and vice versa.
# In any equilateral triangle, the medians are also the perpendiculars from vertices as well as angle
bisectors.
# In isosceles triangles, the median from the vertex joining the equal sides is perpendicular to the
base as well as an angle bisector.
# A median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area.
# Two triangles are called congruent if they are equal in all aspects and can be superimposed on one
another.
QUADRILATERALS
 Quadrilaterals are four-sided enclosed figures which has four interior angles.
 Summation of all the four angles is 360 degree.
I. PARALLELOGRAM:
A Parallelogram is a four - sided figure with each pair of opposite sides parallel.
# Properties of a Parallelogram:
 Each pair of opposite sides are equal. (AD = BC, AB = DC)
 The diagonals bisect each other. (AF = FC, DF = FB)
 The opposite angles are equal. (A = C, D = B)
 One diagonal divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. Two diagonals divide the
parallelogram into two pairs of congruent triangles.
 The four triangles created by the diagonals are equal in area.
A D
F
B C
II. RECTANGLE:
A Rectangle is a parallelogram in which all the angles are right angles. Since a rectangle is a
parallelogram, all of the laws which apply to a parallelogram apply to a rectangle. The additional
properties are:
 The angles are all right angles. (A = B = C = D)
 The diagonals of a rectangle are equal. (AC = BD)
A D
E
B C
III. RHOMBUS:
A Rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, all of the
laws which apply to a parallelogram, apply to a rhombus. The additional properties are
 The four sides of a rhombus are equal. (AB = BC = CD = DA)
 The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. (AC  DB)
 The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the vertex angles. (DAC = BAC = DCA = BCA and
ADB = CDB = ABD = CBD)

A D
B C
IV. SQUARE:
A Square is a rectangular rhombus. Thus the square has the following properties:
 All four sides are equal. (AB = BC = CD = DA)
 Opposite pairs of sides are parallel. (AD BC, AB  DC)
 Diagonals are equal, perpendicular to each other, and bisect each other. (AC = BD, AC  BD,
AE = EC = DE = EB)
 All the angles are right angles (90). (A = B = C = D = 90)
 Diagonals intersect the vertices at 45. (DAC = BAC = 45, and similarly for the other 3
vertices)

# A circle is a closed figure in which each point on the outer rim is equidistant from the center of the
figure. In the circle given above, O is the center. The total length curved path of the circle is called
circumference.
# The distance from the center to the circle is the radius. In the given circle, OE is the radius.
# Any line which connect two points on the circle is a chord. In the given circle, AC, and AD are
chords.
# A chord through the center of the circle is a diameter. A diameter is the longest chord of a circle. In
the given circle, line segment DE or DOE is a diameter.
# A tangent to a circle is a line that is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency and that
passes through only one point of the circle. In the diagram, BF is a tangent.
# An arc is a curved section of a circle. Two distinct points can form two different arcs; the shorter arc
is called a minor arc and the longer one is called a major arc. In the given circle, AGC is a minor arc
and ADE is a major arc.
# A central angle of a circle is an angle with its vertex at the center and sides that are the radii. Arcs
have the same degree measure as the central angle whose sides meet the circle at the two ends of
the arc. AOC, DOA, and DOE are central angles in the given diagram.
# An inscribed angle of a circle is an angle whose sides are two chords. The vertex of the angle lies
on the circumference of the circle. ADE is an inscribed angle in the given diagram.
# A sector of a circle is a slice of a circle formed by two radii and an arc. In the given circle, OAGC is
a sector.
Theorems:
# The length of the diameter of a circle is twice the length of the radius.
# The circumference (length of the curve) is 2π times the length of the radius. π is a constant (the ratio
of circumference to diameter) approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.14. The formula for the circumference
of a circle is, C = 2πr where C = circumference and r = radius.
# An angle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right angle. [A semicircle is one half of a circle.]
# The line segment connecting the mid-point of a chord and the center is perpendicular to the chord.
# The perpendicular on the chord from the center bisects the chord.
# Equal chords are equidistant from the center.
# The longer a chord in a circle is, the closer it is to the center and vice versa.
# All the inscribed angles from equal chords are equal.
# From a given chord, the central angle is twice as much as each inscribed angle.
# Any point outside a circle can extend exactly two tangent lines to the circle. The distances from the
origin of the tangents to the points where the tangents intersect with the circle are equal.

A Polygon is a closed plane figure whose sides are straight lines and which has at least 3 sides or
more. So the smallest polygon is a triangle. The sum of the angles in any polygon is equal to 180 (n -
2), where n is the number of sides. Thus, in a polygon of 3 sides (a triangle), the sum of the angles is
180(3 - 2) or 180.
# A Regular polygon is a polygon all of whose sides are equal and all of whose angles are equal.
These polygons have special properties.
180(n- 2)
Each angle of a regular polygon of ‘n’ sides =
n
SOLID GEOMETRY
Solid geometry is concerned with three-dimensional shapes. Some examples of three-dimensional
shapes are rectangular solids, cubes, cylinders, spheres, cones etc. We will mainly look at the volume
formula and surface area formula of the solids.
I. RECTANGULAR SOLID
 In a rectangular solid, the length, width and height

may be of different lengths.
 The volume of a rectangular solid would be the
product of the length, width and height.
 Volume of rectangular solid = l x w x h
h  Surface area of rectangular solid = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh =
w 2 (lw + lh + wh)
l
II. CUBE
 A cube is a three-dimensional figure with six equal
square sides.

If a is the length of one of its sides, then the volume of
3
the cube is a × a × a or, volume of the cube = a
 2
The area of each face of a cube is a . Since a cube
a
has six square-shaped faces, its total surface area is
2 2
6 times a or, Surface area of a cube = 6a
a
a
III. CYLINDER
r
 A cylinder is a solid with two congruent circles joined
by a curved surface.
 If the radius of the circular base is r and the height is
h h, then the volume of the cylinder is the area of the
base × height, i.e. volume = r h
2
 Surface area of a cylinder = 2 × area of circle + area

2
of rectangle. So, S.A. = 2πr + 2πrh = 2πr (r + h)
IV. SPHERE
 A sphere is a solid with all its points the same

distance from the center.

If the radius of the sphere is r, then the volume, V =
r
r
3
2
 Surface area of a sphere, S.A. = 4r
ROTATION OF WHEEL
This type of problem deals with the distance travelled by a wheel or any circular disk. One revolution
of a wheel will make it move a distance equal to its circumference. The circumference of a circle is the
total distance around its outside. Circumference equals the diameter of the circle multiplied by π (pi),
which is about 3.14 or 22/7. And the unit of travelled distance is the same as the unit of the radius or
diameter of the wheel.
Circumference = πd, or 2πr [Where, r = radius of the wheel & d = diameter of the wheel]
If two wheels of different radius travel the same distance in the same time, i.e. their speeds remain
same, then-
n1r1  n2r2
Here,
n1  Number of revolutions of the 1 wheel
st
n2  Number of revolutions of the 2 wheel

nd
r1  Radius of the 1 wheel

st
r2  Radius of the 2 wheel

nd
Example: If a circle has a radius of 7 inches, how much distance does it travel in 10 revolutions?
Solution: In 1 revolution it travels = 2πr = 2 x 22/7 x 7 = 44 inches.
So in 10 revolutions it travels 44 x 10 = 440 inches.

Coordinate Geometry
Definition
Coordinate geometry, or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system and the
principles of algebra and analysis. Coordinate geometry is used to represent algebraic relations on graphs.
X axis
The horizontal scale is called the x-axis and is usually drawn with the zero point in the middle. Values to the
right are positive and those to the left are negative.
Y axis
The vertical scale is called the y-axis and is also usually drawn with the zero point in the middle. Values above
the origin are positive and those below are negative.
Origin
The point where the two axes cross (at zero on both scales) is called the origin.
Quadrants
When the origin is in the center of the plane, they divide
it into four areas called quadrants.
The first quadrant, by convention, is the top right, and

then they go around counter-clockwise. In the diagram
above they are labeled Quadrant 1, 2 etc. It is
conventional to label them with numerals but we talk
about them as "first, second, third, and fourth quadrant".
Midpoint of a Line Segment Length of a Line Segment (Distance) /

A midpoint of a segment is the point on that line Distance between the points:
segment that divides the segment into two congruent
segments. Distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

point B are:
(A) (-4,-10) (B) (2,-5) (C) (2,5) (D) (2,-3) (E) (2,3)
Solution:
(-2+x₂)/2 = 0; x₂ = 2
(5+y₂)/2 = 4; y₂ = 3
So, (x₂, y₂) = (2, 3) [Ans. option E]

5. What is the slope of the line that contains the points (1, 3) and (4, -3)? [BB-AD – 2011]
(A) – 2 (B) – 0.5 (C) 1 (D) 2 (E) 3 [Ans. A]

6. In the xy-plane, what is the slope of the line with equation 3x + 7y = 9?
(A) -7/3 (B) -3/7 (C) 3/7 (D) 3 (E) 7

Solution: Re-writing the given equation in point-intercept form (y = mx+b):
3x + 7y = 9
=> 7y = -3x + 9
=> y = -(3/7)x + 9/7
So, slope of the line => -3/7 [Ans. option B]
7. Which line is parallel to y = x – 2? [Rupali Bank-Off.-Cash – 2018 (AF)]
(A) y = 2x+1 (B) 2y = 2x – 6 (C) 2y = x+7 (D) y = 3x+1

(A) y = 2x+1 (B) 2y = –2x–5 (C) 2y = x+7 (D) y = 3x+1
9. What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y = – 5x+ 9?

[BB-(AD) – 2018 (AF); Sonali Bank–(SO) - 2018; Agrani Bank–(Cash) – 2017]
(A) 5 (B) –5 (C) 1/5 (D) –1/5
10. Which of the following equations does not represent a straight line?
[BHBFC-(SO) – 2017]
(A) y = 2x+3 (B) y = 2x2 + 3 (C) y(2+x) = 3 (D) y + x – 3 = 7

=> 4 x 5 + (-1) x (-k) = 0
=> 20 + k = 0
=> k = -20 [Ans. option B]
12.
13. The vertices of triangle ABC are (2,2), (2,6), (6,2). What is the area of triangle ABC?
(A) 8 (B) 10 (C) 15 (D) 20 (E) 32
14. Co-ordinates of 4 points are: A(5,8), B(7,8), C(13,2), D(3,2). Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD.

15. If the co-ordinates of a quadrilateral are: (2,5), (-3,0), (4,-1), (6,0), what is the area of the quadrilateral?

16. What is the area of the trapezium in the figure below?
(A) 10.5 (B) 14.5 (C) 16.5 (D) 21 (E) Cannot be determined
17. ΔABC has the following vertices: A(1,0), B(5,0), & C(3,4). Which of the following is true? [Combined 3
Banks – 2018]
(A) AB = BC (B) AB = AC (C) CA = CB (D) AD > BC (E) AC <BC
18. In the rectangular coordinate system below, the area of triangle RST is [GMAT-OG-2014: Q-14]
(A) bc/2
(B) b(c-1)/2
(C) c(b-1)/2
(D) a(c-1)/2
(E) c(a-1)/2
Solution: The area of a triangle is 1/2*(base)(height):

(base) = c - 1 (the difference between the x-coordinates of points T and R).
(height) = b (the "height", the y-coordinate, of point S).
Therefore, the area is 1/2*(base)(height) = 1/2*(c - 1)b. [Ans. option B]
19. In the rectangular coordinate system below, the shaded region is bounded by straight lines. Which of
the following is NOT an equation of one of the boundary lines? [GMAT-OG-2014: Q-148]
(A) x = 0
(B) y = 0
(C) x = 1
(D) x - y = 0
(E) x + 2y = 2
x= 0 and y = 0 are both y and x axis respectively so definitely those lines

are there.
x = 1 is the line is parallel to y axis.
Now if we see there is a line which satisfies y = 1 when x = 0 (that is on y axis) and x = 2 when y = 0 (that is on
x axis), so only equation which satisfies both is x + 2y = 2.
Option D is equivalent to x = y, which is the equation of a line passing through the origin with a positive slope
(= 1). Just by looking at the diagram we can say that x = y is not one of the boundary lines. [Ans. option D]
20. In the rectangular coordinate system, the line y = x is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB (not
shown), and the x-axis is the perpendicular bisector of segment BC (not shown). If the coordinates of
point A are (2, 3), what are the coordinates of point C? [GMAT-OG-2015: Q-202]
(A) (-3, -2)

(B) (-3, 2)
(C) (2, -3)
(D) (3, -2)
(E) (2, 3)
Solution: Since the x-axis is the perpendicular bisector of , C is the reflection of B through the x-axis. In any
reflection through the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, and the sign of the y-coordinate changes.
Since the coordinates of B are (3,2), the coordinates of C are therefore (3,–2). [Ans. option D]
21. The graph of which of the following equations is a straight line that is parallel to line l in the figure
above? [GMAT-OG-2018: Q-183]
(A) 3y – 2x = 0
(B) 3y + 2x = 0
(C) 3y + 2x = 6
(D) 2y – 3x = 6
(E) 2y + 3x = -6
Solution: From the graph, line l contains points (–3,0) and (0,2), so the slope of line l is (0-2)/(-3-0) = 2/3.
Any line parallel to line l has slope 2/3.
Re-writing each of the equations given in the answer choices in slope‐intercept form y = mx + b , where m is the
slope and b is the y ‐intercept, to find the equation whose graph is a line with slope 2/3.
For answer choice A, 3y – 2x = 0; so, 3y = 2x and y = (2/3)x.
So, the graph of this equation is a line with slope 2/3. [Ans. option A]
22. In the coordinate system below, which of the following is the equation of line l ?
[GMAT-OG-2018: Q-218]
(A) 2 x − 3y = 6
(B) 2 x + 3y = 6
(C) 3 x + 2y = 6
(D) 2 x − 3y = −6
(E) 3 x − 2y = −6
Solution: Line l passes through points (3,0) and (0,2), so its slope is m = = .
Only option B, when written in y = mx+b form has the slope of -2/3. [Ans. option B]
