S.I = PTR 100. Amt = Pri ( 1 + Rat )Time 100 Not No te : If you are asked to compute the interest semi-annually ( Half yearly) the above formula is to be modified, by taking time x 2, and rate 2 If the rates are given differently for the consecutive years, then For example if the rates are 8 % , 12 % and 15 % respectively, then Amt = Pri ( 1 + 8 ) ( 1 + 12 ) ( 1 +15 ) 100 100 100. Here, you need not mention time as exponent. Depreciation Certain items value will be diminished as the time passes, then it is known as depreciation. For example the value of a car, refrigerator, machinery etc. in that case. Final Value of machine = Actual value ( 1 – Rat )Time 100 In population growth problems, If present population is given and asking for i) The population ‘n’ yrs ago, then take Amount as ‘Present population’, and find ‘Principal’ ii) The population after ‘n’ yrs, then take Principal as ‘Present population’, and find ‘Amount’
2.Sales Tax & VAT. Selling price = Marked price + x % of sales tax. Selling price = Marked price – x % Discount . • Tax % = Tax x 100 • MP Discount % = Discount x 100 • MP. While computing VAT In step1 : Take manufacturing cost and Calculate VAT on Manufacturing Cost In step2 : Take Profit 1, and Calculate VAT on Profit 1 only In step3 : Take Profit 2, and Calculate VAT on Profit 2 only In step4 : Take Profit 3, and Calculate VAT on Profit 3 only Add all to get Total VAT Selling price = Manufacturing cost +Profit 1 +Profit 2 + Profit Profit 3 etc., + Total VAT •
3.Banking
Savings Bank account While taking the entries you have to bear in mind that •
•
•
•
While computing the interest always take time as 1/12, irrespective of the total number of months given. i.e in PTR / 100, take time as 1/12, instead of total no of months. If entry of a particular month is not given, then you have to take the last entry of the previous month (Here at times there is chance of making mistake, choose the value from the question.) I f you are asked to find the amount that will be obtained on closing the account Then take last entry from the Question + Interest obtained ( But DO NOT take the Total principal )

4.Shares & Dividends • •
•
Dividend = [x % of Face Value] x No of shares No of shares = Investment . Market Val of one share ‘Income’ of a person may be taken as the ‘Dividend’ given by the company, therefore income % = Income x 100 Investment
5.HCF & LCM of polynomials In step1 : Factorize the given polynomials, a) Either by splitting the terms, (OR) b) Using formulae ( a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ( a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2. a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b). a4 – b4 = (a2 ) 2 – (b2 ) 2. (a2 + b2 ) (a2 – b2 ) (a2 + b2 ) (a – b ) (a + b ) ( a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a +b) a3 + b3 = (a + b)( a2 + ab + b2) ( a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab (a – b ) a3 – b3 = (a – b)( a2 + ab + b2)
(or)
Trial & Error method . In step2 : Take the product of ‘Common terms’ as their HCF. In step3 : Take the product of All the terms , Omit, the HCF value which gives you the value of LCM. Product of LCM x HCF = Product of the two polynomials. Note: If cubical expression is given, it may be factorized by using ‘Trial & Error” method.
6.Quadratic Equations. Note: To find the value of ‘x’ you may adopt either ‘splitting the middle term’ or ‘formula method’, unless specified the method.
Note: when x = y, is given, then use ruler to measure the vertical distance of the point from the line, and then take the same distance on the other side to obtain it’s reflection.
8.Ratio & Proportion. 2

Duplicate ratio of a : b is a : b ( Incase of Sub-duplicate ratio you have to take ‘Square root’) 3 : b3 ( Incase of Sub-triplicate ratio you have to take ‘Cube root’) • Triplicate ratio of a : b is a = c : d, Continued Proportion a : b = b : c,(Middle value to be repeated) • Proportion a : b st nd 1 2 3rd 4th proportionals 1st 2nd 2nd 3rd proportionals • Product of ‘Means’(Middle values) = Product of ‘Extremes’(Either end values) •
If a = c is given, then Componendo & Dividendo is a + b = c + d b d a–b c–d Do you have a question “ Where to take “K” method ?” You may adopt it in the following situations •
Length on the map / model = ‘ k ‘ times the original length. 2 Area on the map / model = ‘ k ‘ times the original Area. 3 Volume of the model = ‘ k ‘ times the original Volume.
9.Remainder theorem. If (x – 2 ) is a factor of the given expression, then
10.Matrices
Some times, you may be asked to find A2 + AB + 7 is given, you have to assume it as A2 + AB + 7 I, Here, I is the Identity matrix. in which all the principal diagonal values are 1, and the rest are ‘Zero’.
11.Distance & Section Formulae •
•
•
Distance = \/ (x2 – x1) 2 + (y2 – y1) 2 . ( The same formula is to be used to find the length of line segment, sides of a triangle, square, rectangle, parallelogram etc.,) To prove co-linearity of the given three points A,B, and C, You have to find The distance of AB + The distance of BC = The distance of AC. Section formula: point (x, y) = m1 x2 + m2 x1 , m1 y2 + m2 y1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m1 + m2 •

Mid point = x1 + x2 , y1 + y2 2 2 Centroid of a triangle = x1 + x2 + x3 3
,
m1 + m2

12.Equation of a line.
•
•
• • •
If two points are given, then Slope (m) = y2 – y1 x2 – x1 If a point, and slope are given, then Slope (m) = y – y1 x – x1 If two lines are ‘Parallel’ to each other then their slopes are equal i.e m1 = m2 If two lines are ‘Perpendicular’ to each other then product of their slopes is – 1. i.e m1 x m2 = – 1 Depending upon the question You may have to use a) y = mx + c, where ‘c’ is the y-intercept.
13.Similarity. •
If two triangles are similar then, ratio of their sides are equal. i.e if Δ ABC ~ Δ PQR then AB = BC = AC PQ QR PR.
•
If Δ ABC ~ Δ PQR then Area of Δ ABC = Side2 = AB2 = BC2 = AC2 Area of Δ PQR Side2 PQ2 QR 2 PR 2
Size transformation: Length of the model = ‘k’ times the actual length. [Here ‘k’ is to be taken as 1 / 10000 ] Area of the model = ‘k 2’ times the actual area. [Here ‘k 2’ is to be taken as (1 / 10000) 2 ] 3 3 Volume of the model = ‘k ’ times the actual volume. [Here ‘k ’ is to be taken as (1 / 10000) 3 ]
14.Symmetry. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
A line which divides the given figure into two identical parts is known as line of ‘Symmetry’ An angle has One line of symmetry. A Square has 4 lines of symmetry. A Rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry. A Parallelogram has No lines of symmetry. A Rhombus has 2 lines of symmetry. An Isosceles Triangle has One line of symmetry.
7. An Equilateral Triangle has 3 lines of symmetry. 8. A Circle has Infinite lines of symmetry. 9. A Regular Polygon with ’n’ sides has ‘n’ lines of symmetry. For ex: A Regular pentagon (5 sides) has 5 lines of symmetry A Regular hexagon (6 sides) has 6 lines of symmetry. Note: Angle of a regular polygon = ( 2n – 4 )x 90 n. Here ‘n’ refers number of sides of a polygon. ( This formula may be used to construct a regular Polygon.)
15.Loci. • •
The ‘Locus’ of a line segment is it’s Perpendicular bisector. The ‘Locus’ of an angle is it’s Angle bisector. For solving most of the ‘Locus’ problems, the above two points are good enough. In addition to these points, You should have the basic knowledge of geometrical constructions. Also look at the given figure in terms of either ‘line segments’ or ‘angles’
16.Circles, & Tangents.

Area of ring = π ( R 2 – r 2 ) Distance moved by a wheel in one revolution = Circumference of the wheel. • Number of revolutions = Total distance moved • Circumference of the wheel. Area of an equilateral triangle = \/3 Side2. 4 Note: While solving ‘Mensuration’ problems, take care of the following. 1. If diameter of a circle is given, then find the radius first (Have you made mistake earlier by taking ‘d’ as ‘radius’ and solved the problem ?) 2. Check the units of the entire data. If the units are different, then convert them to the same units. For Example: Diameter = 14 cm, and Height = 3 m Therefore Diameter = 14 cm, and Height = 300 cm (Have you ever committed such mistake ?) •

3. Sphere: Surface area of a Sphere = 4π r 2. ( In case of Sphere, there is no CSA, TSA separately)
Volume of hemi sphere = ⅔ π r 3[Take half the volume of a sphere]
CSA of hemisphere
= 2 π r 2
TSA of hemisphere
= 2 π r 2 + π r 2
[Take half the SA of a sphere]

While solving the combination of solids it would be better if you take common If a solid is melted and, recast into number of other small solids, then • Volume of the larger solid = No x Volume of the smaller solid • For Ex: A cylinder is melted and cast into smaller spheres. Find the number of spheres Volume of Cylinder = No x Volume of sphere. If an ‘Ice cream cone with hemispeherical top’ is given then you have to take • a) Total Volume = Volume of Cone + Volume of Hemisphere b) Surface area = CSA of Cone + CSA of hemisphere (usually Surface area will not be asked)

Wherever ‘Square’ appears think of using the identities i) Sin2 θ + Cos2 θ = 1 ii) Sec2 θ – Tan2 θ = 1 iii) Coseec2θ – Cot2 θ = 1 Try to convert all the values of the given problem in terms of Sinθ and Cos θ Cosec θ may be written as 1/Sin θ Sec θ may be written as 1/Cos θ Cot θ may be written as 1 /Tan θ Tan θ may be written as Sin θ / Cos θ Wherever fractional parts appears then think taking their ‘LCM’ Think of using ( a + b )2, ( a – b )2, ( a + b )3, ( a – b )3formulae etc., Rationalize the denominator [ If a + b, (or) a – b format is given in the denominator] You may separate the denominator For Ex : Sin θ + Cos θ as Sin θ + Cos θ Sin θ Sin θ Sin θ 1 + Cot θ If you are not able to solve the LHS part completely, Do the problem to such an extent you can solve, then start working with RHS, and finally you will end up the problem at a step where LHS = RHS Sin ( 90 – θ ) = Cos θ : Cos ( 90 – θ ) = Sin θ. Sec( 90 – θ ) = Cosec θ : Cosec ( 90 – θ ) = Sec θ

21.Graphical Representation. •
Don’t forget to write the scale on x-axis, and on y-axis.
•
To find the ‘Lower quartile’ take N/4 [Here N is ∑ f] then take the corresponding point on X-axis
•
To find the ‘Upper quartile’ take 3N/4, then take the corresponding point on X-axis

22.Measures of Central Tendency. For un-grouped data •
• •
Arithmetic Mean = Sum of observations No of observations Mode = The most frequently occurred value of the raw data. To find the Median first of all arrange the data in ‘Ascending’ or ‘Descending’ order, then Median = (N+1)/2 term value of the given data, in case of the data is having odd no of observations. Median = [(N/2) + (N+1)/2)] / 2 term value of the given data, in case of the data is having even number of observations. For grouped data
Arithmetic Mean = ∑ fx (Direct method) ∑ f Arithmetic Mean = a + ∑ fd (short cut method) ∑ f Arithmetic Mean = a + ∑ fu x c (step-deviation method) ∑ f
