Problems on Numbers
Division Algorithm:
Dividend = the number to be divided.
Divisor = the number by which it is divided.
Dividend / Divisor = Quotient.
Quotient * Divisor = Dividend.
Quotient * Divisor + Remainder = Dividend.
Arithmetic Progression: The nth term of A.P. is given by Tn = a + (n – 1)d;
Sum of n terms of A.P Sn = n/2 *(a + L) or n/2 *[2a+(n-1)d)]
Geometrical Progression: Tn = arn – 1.
Sn = a(rn – 1)/(r-1);
Problems on Numbers
Basic Formulae
1. ( a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab2. (a-b)2 = a2 +b2 -2ab3. ( a+b)2 - (a – b)2 = 4ab4. (a+b)2 + (a – b)2 = 2 (a2 +b2)5. (a2 – b2) = (a+b) (a-b)6. (a+b+c)2 =a2 +b2 +c2 + 2(ab +bc+ca)7. (a3 +b3) = ( a+b) (a2 –ab +b2)8. (a3 –b3) = (a-b) (a2 +ab + b2)9. (a3+b3+c3 -3abc) = (a+b+c) (a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca) If a+b+c = 0, then (a3+b3+c3) =3abc

The length of the side of a square is represented
by x + 2. the length of the side of an equilateral
triangle is 2x, if the square and the equilateral
triangle have equal perimeter the find the value
of x.
Problem on NumbersSolution:
Side of the square is x + 2
Side of the triangle 2x
P = 4(x + 2)
= 4x +8
Perimeter = 3*2x
= 6x
4x + 8 = 6x
x = 4

10 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days
and 15 women can complete the same work in 12
days. If all the 10 men and 15 women work
together, in how many days will the work get
completed ?
Time and Work
Solution:10 men = 15 days means 1day work = 1/1515 men = 12 days means 1 day work = 1/1210 men + 15 women = 1/15 + 1/12 = 4+5/60 = 9/60 = 3/20 = 6 2/3The work will be completed in 6 2/3 days.

Solution:A + B = 30 days = 1/30B + C = 40 days = 1/40C+ A = 60 days = 1/60All work together A+B+C+B+C+A = 1/30 +1/40 +1/602(A+B+C) = 1/30+1/40+1/60 = 4+3+2 /120 = 9/120 = 9/240 = 3/80 = 26 2/3 A, B and C can finish the work in 26 2/3 days
Time and Work
A can do a piece of work in 30 days, and B in 50
days and C in 40 days. If A is assisted by B on
one day and by C on the next day. In how many
days alternatively work will be completed?
Time and Work
Solution:
A = 1/30, B = 1/50, C = 1/40
A+B = 1/30+1/50 = 8/150
A+C = 1/30+1/40 = 7/120
Work done by A & B and A & C = ( 8/150 + 7/120) = 67/600
For 16 days , work done = 67x8 / 600 = 536/600 =67/75
Work left = 1-67/75 = 8/75
17th day A & B are working = 8 / 75 – 8 / 150 = 4 /75
18th day A&C are working = 120 / 7 * 4 / 75 = 32/35
They will finish the work in 17 32/35 days

A cistern has two taps which fill it in 12 minutes
and 15 minutes respectively. There is also a
waste pipe in the cistern. When all the pipes are
opened, the empty cistern is filled in 20 minutes.
How long will a waste pipe take to empty a full
cistern ?
Time and Work (Pipes)
Solution:
All the tap work together = 1/12 + 1/15 - 1/20 = 5/60 + 4/60 – 3/60 = 6/60 = 1/10 The waste pipe can empty the cistern in 10

Time and Work (Pipes)
Solution:
In one day (A +B) can do = 1/20 + 1/25 = 9/100
In 5 days (A +B ) can do = 5x9/100 = 9/20
Work left = 1 – 9 /20 =11/20
A alone can do the remaining = ( 11/20) x 20

The length and breadth of a rectangular plot are
in the ratio 7 : 5. If the length is reduced by 5 m
and breadth is increased by 2 m then the area is
reduced by 65 m2. Find the length and breadth of
the rectangular plot.
(Caritor Question)
Area and Volume
Answer:
Difference in areas = 65
(7x *5x) – (7x – 5) (5x + 2) = 65
x = 5
The length of the rectangle = 7x = 7*5 = 35 m
The breadth of the rectangle = 5x = 5*5= 25 m

Sathyam Question
Profit and Loss
Solution:
Let C.P be Rs. 100. Hence
S.P = Rs. 120
Gain = S.P – C.P = 360 – 120 = 260
Gain =Rs. 260
Profit and Loss
A grocer purchased 80 kg of rice at Rs. 13.50 per kg and mixed it with 120 kg rice Rs. 16 per kg. At what rate per kg should he sell the mixture to gain 16%?
Sathyam Question
Profit and Loss
Solution:
C.P of 200 kg = (80*13.5 + 120*16) =3000
S.P of 200 kg = 116% of C.P = 3480
The selling price of 1 kg is Rs. 17.40

Clock:
•In every minute, the minute hand gains 55 minutes on the hour hand
•In every hour both the hands coincide once. = (11m/2) – 30h (hour hand to min hand)
= 30h – (11m/2) (min hand to hour hand)
•If you get answer in minus, you have to subtract your
answer with 360 o

If X and Y are two sets such that X u Y has 18
elements, X has 8 elements, and Y has 15
elements, how many element does X n Y have?
Venn Diagram
Solution:
We are given n (X uY) = 18, n (X) = 8, n (Y) =15. using the formula.
n( X n Y) = n (X) + n (Y) - n ( X u Y)
n( X n Y) = 8 + 15 – 18
n( X n Y) = 5

S u T have?
Venn Diagram
Answer:
n (s) = 21, n (T) = 32, n ( S n T) = 11,
n (S u T) = ?
n (S u T) = n (S) + n( T) – n (S n T)
= 21 + 32 – 11 = 42

If A and B are two sets such that A has 40
elements, A u B has 60 elements and A n B
has 10 elements, how many element elements
does B have?
Venn Diagram
Answer:
n ( A) = 40, n ( n B) = 60 and n ( A n B) = 10,
n ( A u B) = n ( A) + n (B) – n ( A n B)
60 = 40 + n (B) – 10
n (B) = 30

In a group of 1000 people, there are 750 people
who can speak Hindi and 400 who can speak
English. How many can Speak Hindi only?
Answer:
n( H u E) = 1000, n (H) = 750, n (E) = 400,
n( H u E) = n (H) + n (E) – n( H n E)
1000 = 750 +400 – n ( H n E)
n ( H n E) = 1150 – 100 = 150
No. of people can speak Hindi only
_
= n ( H n E) = n ( H) – n( H n E)
= 750 – 150 = 600
