To multiply any two digit number by 11:
• For this example we will use 54.
• Separate the two digits in your mind (5 4).
• Add the 5 and the 4 together (5+4=9)
• Put the resulting 9 in the gap 594.
11 x 54=594
11 x 57 ... 57 ... 5+7=12 ... put the 2 in the hole and add the 1 from the 12 to the 5 in to get 6 for a result
of 627

Let the Speedof Stream(current) = b km/h
(i) Speedof boatupstream= (a –b) km/h.
(ii) Speedof boatdownstream= (a + b) km/h.
21. TIME AND WORK
TIME AND WORKEQUIVALENCE:- Essence liesinthe facthasit exhibitsthe mostfundamental
relationshipbetweenthe three factorsi.e.work,time andthe agentcompletingthe work.
Work done = Number of Days x Number of Men (W = D x M)
Condition1:- Work(w) is constant.(Mx D = Constant)
Mα1/D (If work done isconstant,thenthe numberof personsisinverselyproportional to
the numberof days.)
Condition2:- D isconstant.
WαM (More workwill be done if we employmore men&vice versa.)
Condition3:-Mis constant
WαD (More workis done if we have more numberof days.)
In general,we summarizethat
M₁D₁/W₁ =M₂D₂/W₂
Individual Work & Individual Efficiency:-
Individual Work: - If A can do a certainworkin 10 days,thenhe will finish1/10th of
the workinone day.
Individual Efficiency:- Efficiencyisalsoknownasworkrate.
General expressioncorrelatingtime taken& efficiency:-
If efficiencyof A isx percent more than efficiencyof Band B takes‘B’ daysto complete the
work,thenA will take (Bx 100/100+X ) daysto complete same work.
If efficiencyof A isx percent lessthanefficiencyof Band B takes‘B’ daysto complete the work,
thenA will take (Bx 100 /100-X) daysto complete same work.
22. If A doesthe work inx daysand B doesthe same work iny days,
Work done by A = 1/x
Work done by B = 1/y
Work done by A and B together= (1/x)+(1/y)
Days to finishthe worktogether=1/(workdone together) =(x*y)/(x+y)
If A and B togethercan do a piece of workinx days,B and C togethercan do itin y daysand C
and A togethercando itin `z` days, thennumberof days requiredtodothe same work:If A,B,
and C workingtogether=(2xyz) / (xy+ yz + zx)
A,B, C can do a piece of workinx, y,z days respectively.The ratioinwhichthe amountearned
shouldbe sharedis1/x : 1/y : 1/z = yz:zx:xy
Extension of the concept of time & work:-
1. Pipesand Cistern:- It isan applicationof conceptof time andwork.We see positive workbeing
done innormal casesof time andwork,in case of pipesandcisternnegative workisalso
possible.
Pipe A can fill a tankin 20 hours Positive workisdone.
Pipe B can emptya tankin 25 hours Negative workisdone.
2. Variable Work: - Thisconceptcomesfrom the possibilitythatthe rate of workingcan be
different,canbe dependentuponsome external agent.
Work done α external factor.
3. Alternate Work: -Thisconceptisanalogoustothe conceptof man-days.Aswe have seenin
the conceptof man-hourthatif 20 mencan do a workin 10 days,thenthisworkis equivalentto
200 man-days.
23. SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST
1. Principal:The moneyborrowedorlentoutfora certainperiodiscalledthe principal orthe sum.
2. Interest:Extramoneypaidforusingother'smoneyis calledinterest.
3. Simple Interest(S.I.): If the interestonasum borrowedforcertainperiodisreckoneduniformly,
thenit iscalled simple interest.
4. Amount(A) = Principal +Simple Interest(S.I)
Let Principal =P, Rate = R% perannum(p.a.) andTime = T years.Then
Simple Interest=P x T x R / 100.
ADDITIONAL FORMULA:
(i) AmountA₁ becomes afterTime T₁ year andAmountA₂ becomesafterTime T₂years.
(a) Principal =A₁T₂ – A₂T₁ /T₂ - T₁
(b) Rate of Interest=> R/100 = A₂ – A₁ / A₁T₂ – A₂T₁
(ii) A sumof moneybecomesntimes afterT years,Thento findrate of interestper
annum
R/100 = n – 1 /T
(iii) The annual installmentthatwill dischargeadebtof D due inT years at R % simple
interestperannum= 100 x D / 100T + {RT(T - 1) / 2}
Note:Simple interestshouldbe same foreveryyear.
COMPOUND INTEREST
Principal:The moneyborrowedorlentoutfor a certainperiodiscalledthe principal orthe sum.
Interest:Extra moneypaidforusingother'smoneyiscalled interest.
Let Principal =P, Rate = R% perannum, Time = n years.
1. Wheninterestiscompound Annually:
24. Amount = P { 1 + R /100}ⁿ
2. Wheninterestiscompounded Half-yearly:
Amount = p { 1 + (R/2)/100}²ⁿ
3. Wheninterestiscompounded Quarterly:
Amount = { 1 + (R/4)/100}⁴ⁿ
4. Wheninterestiscompounded Annuallybuttime isinfraction,say3 years.
Amount = p {1 + R/100}ᶟ x {1 + 2/5 x R/100}
5. WhenRatesare differentfordifferentyears,sayR1%,R2%,R3% for1st
, 2nd
and 3rd
year
respectively.
ADDITIONAL FORMULA:
(I) Difference betweenCompoundinterestandSimple interestfortime =2 yearsat R % rate of
interestis…….C.I – S.I = P x (R/100)²
(II) Difference between CompoundinterestandSimple interestfortime =3 yearsat R % rate of
interestis…….C.I – S.I = P(R/100)²(R/100 + 3)
(III) If a loanof Rs D at R% compoundinterestperannumistobe repaidinn equal yearly
installments,thenthe valueof eachinstallmentcanbe givenby
D / (100/100 + R) +(100/100 + R)² + (100/100 + R)ᶟ + ….
Then, Amount = P 1 +

25. PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION
PERMUTATION:- Implies“arrangement”where“orderof the things”isimportant.
Permutationof nthingstakingr at a time isdenotedby ⁿPᵣ.
ⁿPᵣ = n! / (n-r)! Note 0! =1.
COMBINATION:- Implies“selection”where “orderof the things”isnotimportant.
Combinationof nthingstakingr at a time isdenotedby ⁿCᵣ.
ⁿCᵣ = n! / (n-r)! x (r)!
SOME IMPORTANT DERIVATIONS:-
1) Numberof arrangementsof nthingsof whichp are of one type,qare of secondtype and rest
are distinct …….. n! /p! x q! x r!
2) Numberof arrangementsof nthingstakingr at a time wheneachof the thingsmay be repeated
once,twice--- uptortimesinanyarrangementis…….nʳ.
CIRCULAR PERMUTATION:
1) The Numberof CircularPermutation(arrangement) of ndifferentarticles= (n-1)! .
2) The Numberof Circulararrangementsof n differentarticleswhenclockwise and
anticlockwisearrangementsare notdifferent.
I.e.whenobservationcanbe made fromboth the sides= (n-1)!/2.
COMBINATION:-
1) Out of n things,the numberof waysof selectingone ormore things: - 2ⁿ - 1, where n=
numberof things.
2) Distributingthe giventhings (r+n)intwogroupswhere one groupishaving r thingsand
otherone n things.
ʳ⁺ⁿCᵣ = (r + n)!/r! x n! .
If r=n , then²ʳCᵣ = (2r)!/r! x r!
27. PROBABILITY
Probability:-Probabilityisanexpectationof the happeningof some events.Itisthe measure of
uncertainty.
Sample Space: - It isthe total numberof all the possible outcomes.
CompoundEvents: - Eventsobtainedbycombiningtwoormore elementaryevents.A compoundevent
issaid to occur if one of the elementaryeventsassociated withitoccurs.
Exhaustive Events: - The total numberof possible outcomesof arandomexperimentinatrial.
MutuallyExclusive Events: - If the occurrence of anyone of the two or more eventspreventsthe
occurrence of all othersi.e.if notwoor more eventsoccursimultaneously.
Pointsto Remember:-
(i)0≤P(E)≤1
(ii) P(E)+P(E)’=1 where P(E)’=Probabilityof nothappeningof eventE.
Odds in favour & Odds against:-
Conditional Probability: -LetA and B be two eventsassociatedwitharandomexperiment.Then
probabilityof occurrence of A underthe conditionthatB has alreadyoccurredandP (B) is not equal to
0.
Thus P (A/B) = Probabilityof occurrence of A giventhat B has happened.
P (B/A) = Probabilityof occurrence of B giventhat A has happened.
Probabilityof an Event (E) = Number offavorable outcomesof E / Total numberof possible outcomes.
Oddsin Favour:- Numberof Favourable Cases/Numberof unfavourableCases.
Oddsin Against:- Numberof unfavourable Cases/Numberof favourable Cases.
28. Addition Theorem:-
1. P(AUB) = P(A)+P(B) –P(AПB)
Let A={2,4,6} and B={3,6}.
P(AUB)={2,3,4,6} Means any one of the outcomesof A or B.
P(AПB) = {6} Means occurrence of both A and B.
2. If events are mutually exclusive then
P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)
29. DATE INTERPRETATION
Data interpretationisthe act of transformingdatawiththe objectiveof extractinguseful information&
facilitatingconclusionsonthe basicof the givendata.
Data is a meansto representfacts,conceptsorinstructionsinaformalizedmannersuitablefor
communicationinterpretationorprocessingbyhumansorotherautomaticmodes.
Differentwaysof Datarepresentation:-
(i) Narration based: - Questioninvolvestoriesthatdefine asituationandgive detailsof various
parametersinvolved.
(ii) Pictorial: - In such a formdata is presentedinvariouspictorial formssuchasline graphs,bar
diagrams,line chartsetc.
(iii) Table: - Tabularmethodisthe mostfundamental wayof representingdata.Mostof
differentkindsof datapresentationformatlike barcharts,line chartsetc originate fromthe
table.
(iv) Pie Chart: - Pie Chart istypical type of data representationwhere dataisrepresentedasa
part of a circle.The circle representsthe total value (100%) anddifferentpartrepresents
certainproportionsof the total.
There are twoapproachesconstructinga pie chart fromany givendata:-
(A) Degree Approach: - In thiscentral angle ina circle represents360◦. So anypart or a segmentin
pie-chartiscalculatedasa proportionof 360◦.
(B) Percentage Approach: - In thiscase,any part or segmentina pie-chartiscalculatedasa part of
100%.
RADAR DIAGRAM:-
In thisdiagrameveryvalue isrepresentedwithrespecttoacentral point.All the changesinthe values
are expressedinthe formof distance fromthiscenterpoint.
30. CLOCKS
A clock is an example of circular motion where length of track is equal to 60km.
Assume (1 minute = 1 km)
Now on this track, two runner i.e. hour hand and minute hand are running with a speed 5 km/h
and 60 km/h. Since their direction is same, so relative velocity (speed) = 60-5 =55 km/h.
Speed = Distance / Speed.
Or
Time = Distance / Speed. Time = 60 /55 = 12/11 hour.
DEGREE CONCEPT:-
Total Angle subtended at the centre of a clock = 360˚.
Angle made by hour hand at the centre per hour =30˚ (per minute = 0.5˚).
Angle made by minute hand at the centre per hour =360˚. (per minute = 6˚).
IMPORTANT DERIVATION:-
The number of times hand of a clock are in straight line (either at 0˚ or at 180˚) in 24
hour = 44.
The number of times hand of a clock are at right angle (90˚) in 24 hour = 44.
Both the hands of a clock are together after every 65 5/11 minutes.
31. CUBES
A cube is a three dimensional figure of square in which all the sides are equal.
Number of Faces in the cube= 6
Number of Vertices in the cube= 8
Number of Edges in the cube= 12
General cases for Cubes:-
A cube was cut into 64 cubelets. (n×n×n)
So, n³= 64, n =4.
(i) Cubelets with 1 face painted = 6(n-2)².
(ii) Cubelets with 2 face painted = 12(n-2).
(iii) Cubelets with 3 face painted = 8 .
(iv) Cubelets with no face painted = (n-2)³.
Total n³=6(n-2)²+ 12(n-2) + 8+ (n-2)³.

37. CALENDERS
ODD DAYS :- Numberof daysmore than the complete weeksare calledodddaysina givenperiod.
LEAP YEAR: - A leapyearhas 366 days.In a leapyear,the monthof February has29 days.
(a) Everyyear divisiblebyisa leapyear,if itis not a century.
(b) Every4th
centuryisa leapyearand noothercenturyis a leapyear.
ORDINARY YEAR: - The yearwhichisnot a leapyearis an ordinaryyear.Anordinaryyearhas 365 days.
COUNTING ODD DAYS AND CALCULATING THE DAY OF ANY PARTICULAR DATE
1) 1 Ordinaryyear= 365 days = (52 weeks+1 day)
Hence numberof Odd daysin1 Ordinaryyear= 1
2) 1 Leapyear = 366 = (52 weeks+ 2 days)
Hence numberof Odd daysin1 leapyear= 2
3) 100 years= (76 Ordinaryyear+ 24 leapyear)
= (76 x 1 + 24 x 2) odd days
=124 Odddays
= (17 weeks+ 5 days)
=5 Odd days.
4) Numberof Odddays in200 Years= (5 x2) =10 days
= 1 week+ 3 days
= 3 odd days.
5) Numberof Odddays in4th
centuries(400,800,1600,2400….etc) = 0
