Arithmetic Progressions
Tn = a + (n-1)d
Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]
Geometric Progressions
(n-1)
Tn = ar
n
Sn = a(r – 1 )/ (r-1)
S∞ = a/(1-r)
Factorials
n! = 1*2*3*...*(n-1)!
n! = n*(n-1)!
Relative Speed
For trains
Time = sum of the lengths of two trains / relative speeds of two trains
Set Theory
n(A U B U C) = n(A) + n (B)+ n(C) – n(A n B) – n(A n C) – n(B n C) + n(A n B n C)
n(A U B) = n(A) + n (B) – n(A n B)
Alligations
The ratio of the weights of the two items mixed will be inversely proportional to
the deviation of attributes of these two items from the average attribute of the
resultant mixture.
Eg. Price as an attribute
W1/W2 = ( X2 - X ) / ( X - X1 )
Circle
1. The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a
chord of the circle bisects the chord. In the figure
below, O is the centre of the circle and OM
perpendicular AB. Then, AM = MB.
2. Equal chords are equidistant from the centre.
Conversely, if two chords are equidistant from the
centre of a circle, they are equal. C
B
3. In the following figure, two chords of a circle, AB P
tangents. B
6. The angle that a tangent to a circle makes with a
chord drawn from the point of contact is equal to B
the angle subtended by that chord in the alternate C 0
segment of the circle. In the figure above, PA is the 0
tangent at point A of the circle and AB is the chord A P
<900
Median: A median of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and the midpoint
of the opposite side, and divides the triangle into two equal areas. The three
medians intersect in a single point, the triangle's centroid. The centroid cuts every
median in the ratio 2:1, i.e. the distance between a vertex and the centroid is twice
the distance between the centroid and the midpoint of the opposite side.
