The mean is the total of the numbers dividedby how many numbers there are.
7 + 9 + 11 + 6 + 13 + 6 + 6 + 3 + 11 = 72
72 ÷ 9 = 8
1.2 Mode:
7 9 11 6 13 6 6 3 11
3 6 6 6 7 9 11 11 13
Look for the number that appears the most.
1.3 Median:
3 6 6 6 7 9 11 11 13
If there are two middle values, the median is halfway between them. Work out the median
for this set of numbers:
3 6 6 6 7 8 9 11 11 13
13 - 3 = 10
So the range of this set of numbers is 10.
Sum of an series =
= 73.5

2.1 Factorial:
N!=N.(N-1).(N-2)…….…2.1
7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1
2.2 Permutation:
If here are 5 student , in how many ways they can sit?
5!=5*4*3*2*1=120
2.3 Combination:
5 combination 2 = 5!/2!(5-2)!= 5!/2!*3!=5*4*3*2*1/2*1*3*2*1=10
Exp. How many different 4-person teams can b made from a group of 9 players?
=9!/5!(9-5)!
=126
Marble size is 20cm*30cm. How many marbles are required to cover a square with side 3m?
3m=300cm
Area=300*300
No of marbles=Area/Marble size
=300*300/20*30
= 150
2.5 Length of Bridge:
If a man running at 15kmph passed a bridge in 9 seconds, what is the length of the bridge?
So Length=15000*9/3600=37.5m
What is the number 3 less than the double of specific value of x..?
2x+3
Log(x.y)=log x+logy
Log(x/y)=logx-log y
ln e=1
ln x^2=2ln x
2.8 Clock Angles:
Amount of Work/Time=Output(Rate)
A can do a piece of work in 4 hours; B and C together can do it in 3 hours, while A and
C together can do it in 2 hours. How long will B alone take to do it?
A=1/4
B+C=1/3
A+C=1/2
C=1/2-1/4=1/4
B=1/3-1/4=1/12
So B alone will do in 12 hours

(Geometry)
Perimeter=4s
Area of triangle= b*h/2
Perimeter= sum of all sides
3.3Volume of cylinder
= pi*r^2*h
Volume of cube=a^3
Area of a rectangle = (Length × Breadth).
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth).
3.3Cube :
Let each edge of a cube be of length a. Then,
3.4 Cylinder :
(RATIO)
In this section, we will learn what are ratios, how to tackle various questions including ratios.
“Ratio and Proportion” is a topic often causing unrest and discomfort for many people. But
they are easy, you will learn In this chapter that tackling such questions is as simple as ABC.
For 3 or more numbers like a,b,c and d, ratio a:b:c:d means writing numbers in
specified order, and then cancelling them on a common factor, thus writing it in
specified form.
i.e c:b:a=12:9:8.
That is answer.
So, note here that we have performed cancellation on the number which divides all of 3
numbers. We will learn more about ratio of more than 2 numbers in the coming examples.
Q:1
Q.1 If 45% of students in a college are male, what is the ratio of male to female
students?
a 20:9
b 9:20
c 11:20
d 11:9
e 9:11
Solution:
As question says ratio of male to female students, it means number of male students will come
first, and female second and not vice vesa. So,
9/11
=9:11 (Option E)
6. Multiple: It is the number with which actual values are divided to get ratio
values. For example, Here we have cancelled fractions on common factor of 35 and
45,(.i.e 5), so that 35/45 is reduced to 7/9. Here 5 is called the multiple. So, multiple is
a number by which actual values are divided by to get ratio values. OR Multiple is a
number by which ratio values are mulipltied to get actual values.
1. It has always 3 rows. First row is for ratio values, second row is for multiple and last
row is for actual values.
2. It has one more column than number of quantities in the question. Like if there are
three quantities X, Y and Z, then ratio box will have 3+1=4 columns. First 3 columns
will be for X, Y and Z respectively and last column will be for total=X+Y+Z. So, ratio
box will look like this:
PERCENTAGE
Basics:
Percentage means “OUT OF 100”. When I say I have got 60% marks in paper, it means that I have got 60
marks OUT OF 100. Now in mathematical terms,
%=1/100 = 0.01
Like:
a 5%=5/100=0.05
b 17%=17/100=0.17
c 12.5%=12.5/100=0.125
Now let us look at following examples to clarify our concept about above 4 points given in red box.
Example 2. 10% of what number is 6?
Chapter : 07
7.1 Algebra:
a^n*a^m=a^m+n
a^n/a^m=a^n-m
7.3Age Problems:
If father is double the age of his son. 20 years ago he was 12 times that of son. What is the age of
father now?
F=2S
F-20=12(S-20)
2S-20=12S-240
10S=220
S=22
F=2S=44
7.4 % Share:
A company sell three types of mobiles worth 100, 125, and 225. It sold equal no. of all
mobiles. What is the percent share of cheapest mobile?
Total=100+125+225=450
225=50%
100+125=225=50%
100*50/225=22.22%
7.5 Simple Interest (S.I.) :
If the interest on a sum borrowed for certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is
called simple interest.
Let the principal = P, Rate = R% per annum (p.a) and Time = T years. Then ,
3. S.I. = (P x R x T / 100)
4. P = (100 x S.I. / R x T)
5. R = (100 x S.I / P x T)
