Preparation Quiz Bee Lecture - A Compilation by Oustduterte

This document provides methods for quickly squaring two-digit numbers ending in 5 without long multiplication. It explains that the first part of the answer comes from multiplying the first digit by the result of adding one to itself, and the second part is always 25. Examples are given for squaring 15, 25, 35, 45, 95 to demonstrate.

he Squaring of Numbers Ending with number 5.

Suppose you want to square 25. The answer has 2 parts.

1. First half: The first number 2 is multiplied by ‘2 added to one.’ That is : 2×3=6__
2. Second half: The next number 5 is multiplied by itself which gives 25 and is
written as it is. That is __25.
So the answer is 625.

Similarly, consider the squares of the following:

(15)^2= 1 x (1+1) / 5 x 5 = 2 / 25 = 225


(35)^2 = 3 x (3+1) / 5 x 5 = 12 / 25 = 1,225

(45)^2 = 4 x (4+1) / 5 x 5 = 20 / 25 = 2,025


(95)^2 = 9 x (9+1) / 5 x 5 = 90 / 25 = 9, 025

Made so easy. Thanks to Vedic mathematics :)

When doing division if a number at the bottom is too great to take away from the number
at the top instead of borrowing make it a 2 digit number for instance

538 - 229, normally we can’t take 9 from 8 so we borrow one from 3 making it 2 and put it
next to 8 to make 18 so we can go 18–9=9 but instead of borrowing take 29 from 38 which
gives us 09, then 2 from 5 = 3 so 309 is the answer, you can even do this with 3 or 4 digits
so if the 2 digit number is too great you could make it a 3 digit number such as 2597 - 1498,
the 8 is too great to take from the 7 so we go 97 - 98 but 98 is also too great so we go 597
- 498 that gives us 099, then we take the 1 from the 2 = 1 giving us 1099, some sums may in
some cases need a little borrowing where it can’t be avoided but for the most part it’s quick
and borrow free.
 Multiplication of any two numbers , lies between 11 and 19 :

I am explaining this rule by taking an example -

18 * 16 = ( 18 +6 ) * 10 + (8 * 6 ) = 288

It means add first number with the second digit of the second number and multiply it with
10 and then add with the product of second digit of the given numbers .

Another Example :

19 * 18 = ( 19+8 ) * 10 + ( 9 * 8 ) = 342

-> Quick Square of a two digit number having end digit as 5 :


When you need to square a two digit number ending in 5 , you can do it very easily with this
trick .

Rule : Multiply the first digit of the given number with itself + 1 and put 25 at the end

Example :

35^2 = ( 3 * (3+1) ) & 25 = 1225

65^2 = ( 6 * (6+1) ) & 25 = 4225
