To find out if a number is divisible by seven: Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the

rest of the number. If the answer is more than a 2 digit number perform the above again. If the result is 0 or is divisible by 7 the original number is also divisible by 7. Example 1 ) 259 9*2= 18. 25-18 = 7 which is divisible by 7 so 259 is also divisible by 7. Example 2 ) 2793 3*2= 6 279-6= 273 now 3*2=6 27-6= 21 which is divisible by 7 so 2793 is also divisible by 7 . Now find out if following are divisible by 7 1) 2841 2) 3873 3) 1393 4) 2877

TO FIND SQUARE OF A NUMBER BETWEEN 40 to 50 Sq (44) . 1) Subtract the number from 50 getting result A. 2) Square A getting result X. 3) Subtract A from 25 getting result Y 4) Answer is xy EXAMPLE 1 : 44 50-44=6 Sq of 6 =36 25-6 = 19 So answer 1936 EXAMPLE 2 : 47 50-47=3 Sq 0f 3 = 09 25-3= 22 So answer = 2209 NOW TRY To Find Sq of 48 ,26 and 49

TO FIND SQUARE OF A 3 DIGIT NUMBER : LET THE NUMBER BE XYZ

SQ (XYZ) is calculated like this STEP 1. Last digit = last digit of SQ(Z) STEP 2. Second Last Digit = 2*Y*Z any carryover from STEP 1. STEP 3. Third Last Digit 2*X*Z Sq(Y) any carryover from STEP 2. STEP 4. Fourth last digit is 2*X*Y any carryover from STEP 3. STEP 5 . In the beginning of result will be Sq(X) any carryover from Step 4. EXAMPLE : SQ (431) STEP 1. Last digit = last digit of SQ(1) =1 STEP 2. Second Last Digit = 2*3*1 any carryover from STEP 1.= 6 STEP 3. Third Last Digit 2*4*1 Sq(3) any carryover from STEP 2.= 2*4*1 9= 17. so 7 and 1 carryover STEP 4. Fourth last digit is 2*4*3 any carryover (which is 1) . = 241=25. So 5 and carry over 2. STEP 5 . In the beginning of result will be Sq(4) any carryover from Step 4. So 162 =18. So the result will be 185761. If the option provided to you are such that the last two digits are different, then you need to carry out first two steps only , thus saving time. You may save up to 30 seconds on each calculations and if there are 4 such questions you save 2 minutes which may really affect UR Percentile score.

PYTHAGORAS THEROEM : In any given exam there are about 2 to 3 questions based on pythagoras theorem. Wouldnt it be nice that you remember some of the pythagoras triplets thus saving up to 30 seconds in each question. This saved time may be used to attempt other questions. Remember one more right question may make a lot of difference in UR PERCENTILE score. The unique set of pythagoras triplets with the Hypotenuse less than 100 or one of the side less than 20 are as follows : (3,4,5), (5, 12, 13), (8, 15, 17), (7, 24, 25), (20, 21, 29), (12, 35, 37), (9, 40, 41), (28, 45, 53), (11, 60, 61), (33, 56, 65), (16, 63, 65), (48, 55, 73), (36, 77, 85), (13, 84, 85), (39, 80, 89), and (65, 72, 97). (15,112,113), (17,144,145), (19,180,181), (20,99,101) If you multiply the digits of the above mentioned sets by any constant you will again get a pythagoras triplet . Example : Take the set (3,4,5). Multiply it by 2 you get (6,8,10) which is also a pythagoras triplet. Multiply it by 3 you get ( 9,12,15) which is also a pythagoras triplet.

Multiply it by 4 you get (12,16,20) which is also a pythagoras triplet. You may multiply by any constant you will get a pythagoras triplet Take another example (5,12,13) Multiply it by 5,6 and 7 and check if you get a pythagoras triplet. TIPS FOR SMART GUESSING : You will notice that in any case, whether it is a unique triplet or it is a derived triplet (derived by multiplying a constant to a unique triplet), all the three numbers cannot be odd. In case of unique triplet , the hypotenuse is always odd and one of the remaining side is odd the other one is even. Below are the first few unique triplets with first number as Odd. 3 5 7 9 11 4 5 12 13 24 25 40 41 60 61

You will notice following trend for unique triplets with first side as odd. Hypotenuse = (Sq(first side) 1) / 2 Other side = Hypotenuse -1 Example : First side = 3 , so hypotenuse = (3*31)/2= 5 and other side = 5-1=4 Example 2: First side = 11 so hypotenuse = (9*91)/2= 41 and other side = 41-1=40 Please note that the above is not true for a derived triplet for example 9,12 and 15, which has been obtained from multiplying 3 to the triplet of 3,4,5. You may check for other derived triplets. Below are the first few unique triplets with first number as Even . 4 8 12 16 20 3 5 15 17 35 37 63 65 99 101

You will notice following trend for unique triplets with first side as Even. Hypotenuse = Sq( first side/ 2)1 Other side = Hypotenuse-2 Example 1. First side =8 So hypotenuse = sq(8/2) 1= 17 Other side = 17-2=15

Example 2. First side = 16 So hypotenuse = Sq(16/2) 1 =65 Other side = 65-2= 63

PROFIT AND LOSS : In every exam there are from one to three questions on profit and loss, stating that the cost was first increased by certain % and then decreased by certain %. How nice it would be if there was an easy way to calculate the final change in % of the cost with just one formula. It would really help you in saving time and improving UR Percentile. Here is the formula for the same : Suppose the price is first increase by X% and then decreased by Y% , the final change % in the price is given by the following formula Final Difference % = X- Y XY/100. EXAMPLE 1. : The price of T.V set is increased by 40 % of the cost price and then decreased by 25% of the new price . On selling, the profit for the dealer was Rs.1,000 . At what price was the T.V sold. From the above mentioned formula you get : Final difference % = 40-25-(40*25/100)= 5 %. So if 5 % = 1,000 then 100 % = 20,000. C.P = 20,000 S.P = 20,000 1000= 21,000. EXAMPLE 2 : The price of T.V set is increased by 25 % of cost price and then decreased by 40% of the new price . On selling, the loss for the dealer was Rs.5,000 . At what price was the T.V sold. From the above mentioned formula you get : Final difference % = 25-40-(25*45/100)= -25 %. So if 25 % = 5,000 then 100 % = 20,000. C.P = 20,000 S.P = 20,000 5,000= 15,000. Now find out the difference in % of a product which was : First increased by 20 % and then decreased by 10 %. First Increased by 25 % and then decrease by 20 %. First Increased by 20 % and then decrease by 25 %. First Increased by 10 % and then decrease by 10 %. First Increased by 20 % and then decrease by 15 %.

To find the number of factors of a given number, express the number as a product of powers of prime numbers.In this case, 48 can be written as 16 * 3 = (24 * 3) Now, increment the power of each of the prime numbers by 1 and multiply the result. In this case it will be (4 1)*(1 1) = 5 * 2 = 10 (the power of 2 is 4 and the power of 3 is 1) Therefore, there will 10 factors including 1 and 48. Excluding, these two numbers, you will have 10 2 = 8 factors.

Area of a triangle 1/2*base*altitude = 1/2*a*b*sinC = 1/2*b*c*sinA = 1/2*c*a*sinB = root(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) where s=abc/2 =a*b*c/(4*R) where R is the CIRCUMRADIUS of the triangle = r*s ,where r is the inradius of the triangle . In any triangle a=b*CosC c*CosB b=c*CosA a*CosC c=a*CosB b*CosA

If a1/b1 = a2/b2 = a3/b3 = .. , then each ratio is equal to (k1*a1 k2*a2k3*a3..) / (k1*b1 k2*b2k3*b3..) , which is also equal to (a1a2a3./b1b2b3.)

(7)In any triangle a/SinA = b/SinB =c/SinC=2R , where R is the circumradius x^n -a^n = (x-a)(x^(n-1) x^(n-2) . a^(n-1) ) Very useful for finding multiples .For example (1714=3 will be a multiple of 17^3 14^3)

e^x = 1 (x)/1! (x^2)/2! (x^3)/3! ..to infinity 2<e< 3

log(1x) = x (x^2)/2 (x^3)/3 (x^4)/4 to infinity [ Note the alternating sign . .Also note that the ogarithm is with respect to base e ]

In a GP the product of any two terms equidistant from a term is always constant .

For a cyclic quadrilateral , area = root( (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c) * (s-d) ) , where s=(abcd)/2

For a cyclic quadrilateral , the measure of an external angle is equal to the measure of the internal opposite angle. (mn)! is divisible by m! * n! .

If a quadrilateral circumscribes a circle , the sum of a pair of opposite sides is equal to the sum of the other pair .

The sum of an infinite GP = a/(1-r) , where a and r are resp. the first term and common ratio of the GP . The equation whose roots are the reciprocal of the roots of the equation ax^2bxc is cx^2bxa

The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with vertices (a,b) (c,d) (e,f) is((ace)/3 , (bdf)/3) .

The ratio of the radii of the circumcircle and incircle of an equilateral triangle is 2:1 .

Area of a parallelogram = base * height

APPOLLONIUS THEOREM: In a triangle , if AD be the median to the side BC , then AB^2 AC^2 = 2(AD^2 BD^2) or 2(AD^2 DC^2) .

for similar cones , ratio of radii = ratio of their bases. The HCF and LCM of two nos. are equal when they are equal .

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 * base area * height

In an isosceles triangle , the perpendicular from the vertex to the base or the angular bisector from vertex to base bisects the base.

In any triangle the angular bisector of an angle bisects the base in the ratio of the other two sides. The quadrilateral formed by joining the angular bisectors of another quadrilateral is always a rectangle.

Roots of x^2x1=0 are 1,w,w^2 where 1ww^2=0 and w^3=1

|a||b| = |ab| if a*b>=0 else |a||b| >= |ab|

Area of a trapezium = 1/2 * (sum of parallel sids) * height = median * height where median is the line joining the midpoints of the oblique sides.

when a three digit number is reversed and the difference of these two numbers is taken , the middle number is always 9 and the sum of the other two numbers is always 9 .

ANy function of the type y=f(x)=(ax-b)/(bx-a) is always of the form x=f(y) .

Let W be any point inside a rectangle ABCD . Then WD^2 WB^2 = WC^2 WA^2 Let a be the side of an equilateral triangle . then if three circles be drawn inside this triangle touching each other then eachs radius = a/(2*(root(3)1))

Let x be certain base in which the representation of a number is abcd , then the decimal value of this number is a*x^3 b*x^2 c*x d

when you multiply each side of the inequality by -1, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality.

To find the squares of numbers from 50 to 59 For 5X^2 , use the formulae (5X)^2 = 5^2 X / X^2 Eg ; (55^2) = 255 /25 =3025 (56)^2 = 256/36 =3136

(59)^2 = 259/81 =3481

many of u must b aware of this formula, but the ppl who dont know it must b useful for them. ab(ab/100) this is used for succesive discounts types of sums. like 1999 population increses by 10% and then in 2000 by 5% so the population in 2000 now is 105(50/100)=15.5% more that was in 1999 and if there is a decrease then it will be preceeded by a -ve sign and likeiwse
