Simplification, Approximation
1 and Number Series
BEST APPROACH TO SOLVE THE QUESTIONS
Simplification: Simplification simply means simplifying the complex expressions. There are ways available always
which are simpler, easier and faster to calculate a particular complex expression. Questions related to simplification can
be solved in variety of ways. But in examination where one needs to calculate as fast as possible, applying good
simplification techniques may serve a good purpose. The most interesting about numbers is that they can be expressed
in an innumerable number of ways and thus comes the concept of breaking the expression in such a way that one
reaches the answer in less time.
Following are some examples citing the ways to simplifying an equation or expression.

⇒ ?= 72× 6 × 160 = 432 × 160 = 69120
Approximation Questions based on approximation are usually easy to solve but turn out to be a bit difficult when
approximate values are not clearly visible. In case where a value like 17.97 is given, it is easy to replace it with 18. But
120 101
cases where values like or are given, then approximate values can be used by making appropriate adjustments to
13 11
other terms of the expression.
Let’s, for example, try to find out the approximate value of expression given below:
66 50
+ + 41% of 97 =?
16 17
66 50 66 50
The value of 16
is a bit more than 4 and that of 17 is a bit less than 3. So we may take value of 16
and 17
to be equal to 4
and 3 respectively.
We know 40% of 100 is equal to 40. As 41 near to and greater than 40 and 97 is near to and smaller than 100, we may
take the approximate value of 41% 𝑜𝑓 97 to be equal to 40 itself.
This way, the approximate value of the above expression= 4+3+40=47
A few sample problems:
178 217
− + 33 × 41 =? −32% 𝑜𝑓 207
12 18
⇒ 15 + 12 + 33(40+1) = ? – 33% of 200
⇒ 27 + 1355 = ? – 66 ⇒ ? = 1450
19.95 68.12
4
+ 17
− 12.5% 𝑜𝑓 127.9 =?
20 68 1
⇒ 4
+ 17 − 8 × 128 =?
⇒ 5 + 4 − 16 =? ⇒ ? = −7

Number Series When different numbers are arranged in any mathematical and logical pattern, a number series is said
to be formed. There may be infinite such patterns. So it’s really difficult to find out one out of them. But there is one
element that gives us the idea of any pattern.
That element is the difference of the terms of a number series. By finding the difference of consecutive terms of a series
we can make out the pattern on which the number series is based. Some patterns are clearly visible but others can be
found out by cracking the pattern of the differences.

Ratio Proportion and Mixture
2 & Alligation
Alligation is a method used to solve problems concerned with weightage average. Or, in other words, alligation is
just a way of writing equations of weightage average for the easy calculation. Problems involving mixtures or any form
of weightage average can be solved easily using the method of alligation.
Questions related to replacement, addition or omission of components of mixture may be easily solved using
fractions. Be it in form of ratio or by taking volume into consideration. A very useful formula for problems based on
mixtures is given below:
Final ratio= Initial ratio (fraction of component remained)
Final volume= initial volume (fraction of component remained)
A few sample problems explaining the concept of alligation are given below.
2
Example 1: ‘An alloy containing 50% gold is formed by melting two metals A and B. Metal A contains 66 % gold while
3
metal B contains 40% gold. Find the ratio in which metal A and B are mixed to form the alloy.’
Solution: Let’s take the fractional equivalents of given percentages and calculate using alligation.
Hence, required ratio is 3:5.

Example 2: ‘Average weight of boys in a class is 55kg while average age of girls in the same class is 35. If the average of
all the students in the class is 40 kg, find the ratio of boys and girls in the class.’
Solutions:
Required ratio is 1:3.

Example 3: ‘A can contains mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 7 : 5. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and
the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the
can initially?’

Visit: adda247.com
Solution: Since B is filled by replacing some amount of mixture, we should take A into consideration
Initial ratio of A to the whole mixture = 7/12
7
Final ratio of A to the whole mixture = 16
7 7 12 3
Using formula, = ×𝑦 Or, 𝑦 = =
16 12 16 4
3 1
This shows the mixture remained 4 th of itself which means 4th part was drawn off.
1
ATQ, 4 of total = 9
Or, total mixture = 9 × 4 = 36 litres
7
Initial amount of liquid A = × 36 = 21 litres

Chapter
3 Partnership
Any partnership in business is based on two components. One is the money or capital that is invested and the other is
the time for which the money is invested.
Mathematically,
Profit ∝ investment
Profit ∝ time
Profit ∝ investment × time
Profit share of an individual is directly proportional to investment and time.
Hence, any profit share of a person out of total profit is decided by the net effect of these two components.
If ratio of investment by two persons is X:Y and ratio of time for which they invested is A:B respectively, then their profit
share is in the ratio of 𝑋 × 𝐴 ∶ 𝑌 × 𝐵= XA : YB
Example 1: A, B and C entered into a business by investing their intial sum of Rs. 12600, Rs. 14400 and Rs. 13200
respectively. After 6 months C left the partnership and B also left the partnership after 8 months. If after a
year total profit was Rs. 69600, then find profit share of C.’
Solution. Here, instead of taking absolute values of money invested, we may use their simplest values i.e. ratio.
Ratio of investment of A, B and C is 21:24:22 respectively. And ratio of time for which they invested is 12:
8:6=6:4:3
Ratio of their profit share = (21× 6): (24 × 4): (22 × 3)= 21:16:11
11
Now, profit share of C= × 69600 = 15950.
48
Example: ‘Aman started a business investing Rs. 70,000. Rakhi Joined him after six months with an amount of Rs.
1,05,000 and Sagar Joined them with Rs. 1.4 lakhs after another six months. The amount of profit earned
should be distributed in what ratio among Aman, Rakhi and Sagar respectively, 3 years after Aman started
the business?’
Solution. Ratio of profit share is given by the ratio of (investment×time)
Or ratio of their investment is 70000 : 105000 : 140000 = 2 : 3 : 4
Ratio of the time for which they invested = 36 : 30 : 24 = 6 : 5 : 4.
Hence, ratio of profit share among them = (2× 6): (3 × 5) ∶ (4 × 4)
= 12:15:16

Chapter
4 Average and Ages

INTRODUCTION:
We all know that definition of average is sum of magnitude (weight, age, marks or any measurable quantity) of all
quantities divided by total number of all quantities. Always remember, if you are calculating average you are
making all the quantities equal.
For eg. three brothers have number of candies with them is 9, 11 and 16. But their mom took all the candies and
distribute 12 to each. Average in some questions referred as ‘Arithmetic mean’.
Questions from this topic are extremally easy and doesn’t require as much time or sharp concept, mostly questions are
asked in the form of average of ages.
Example: Marks obtained by seven students are 70, 85, 95, 86, 74, 83 and 67. What is average marks obtained by
them.
Solution: Sum of magnitude of all the observations is 70 + 85 + 95 + 86 + 74 + 83 + 67 = 560.
560
Required average = 7 = 80.
NOTE: Please avoid short cut tricks mentioned in many books for such small calculations. Those tricks are more
time consumable. There is other very simple and only trick that you must apply. Look at next question.
Example: Average age of 4 members of a family is 28 years and average increases by 2 years when one of their relative
joins them. Calculate the age of relative.
Solution: Easy one! Let age of relative is x years. Total age of family before joining the relative = 4×28=112
112+x
After joining the relative = 28+2, which gives us x = 38 years.
5
Right approach? Or wrong?
Try this approach, Imagine, they all have 28 rupees/candies/marbles before their relative joins them. When
he comes, they all have Rs 30 each. What does it mean? It means their relative gave Rs 2 to all 4 of them and
even then, he was left with Rs 30, as average means amount is distributed equally. How much he had given
to them? Rs. 8, Right? Therefore, he initially had total of Rs 38 with him.
Why to waste paper and time if we can do it mentally. Try next question.
Example: Average marks scored by a student in 4 subjects is 75. But when marks of English are added to it, overall
average became 70. How much did he score in English?
Solution: Let 4 men have 75 gold coins each and when 5th one joins them, each of those 4 men/exams gave 5
coins/marks to 5th one. And after taking 5 coins from 4 persons, 5th have total 70 coins. It means he initially
had 50 coins and that the answer.
Example: Average marks scored by a student in 5 subjects was 79. But when average is calculated for 4 subjects
(without Hindi) it was 4 lesser than the average of 5 subjects. What was the marks scored by him in Hindi?
Solution: Again let 5 men have 79 candies each and when one of them leave, he took all candies belonging to him. It
means each of these 4 had borrowed 4 candies from him. He took 79 candies that was with him, plus these 4
persons returned 16 of his. Therefore, he had 95 candies or marks whatever you assume.
Example: Average run scored by Sachin in 19 innings of year 2007 is 49 runs while total run scored run scored by
Afridi in 19 matches were 760. In 20th match, average of Afridi decreased by 2 runs/ match and average
run/match increased by 1 for Sachin. What is the difference b/w the scored runs in 20th match by them?

Visit: adda247.com
760
Solution: Average runs by Afridi in 19 innings 19 = 40 runs.
His average decreased by 2, which means all the 19 innings/persons have given 2 runs/coins to 20 th
inning/person. New inning/person borrowed 19 × 2 = 38 runs/coins to become equal with others.
Therefore, he himself have no money and we can conclude Afridi scored 0 in that match.
While for Sachin, his 19 previous innings got 1 run each and even then, his 20 th inning remains with 50 runs.
Therefore, total runs by Sachin in 20th inning are 69 runs.
Required difference is 69 runs.
This may look longer when you read it, but once you get the concept you can solve these questions within 30
seconds.
AGES
The questions on ages are of two types either the average age of a group of people is asked or we are given the ratios of
ages of friends and we are asked to calculate their individual age or average age. See it through a question.
Example: Ratio of present age of Rahul and his father is 5:8 and 14 years earlier this ratio was 1:2. What is present age
of Rahul
Solution: 1 way to solve this is assume present age of Rahul and his father 5x and 8x. According to question 14 years
earlier ratio of their age was
5x−14 1
=
8x−14 2
 (5x − 14) × 2 = 8x − 14
 2x = 14
 X=7
 Present age of Rahul = 7× 5= 35 years.
Or
If you want to solve it mentally, or in a shorter time, observe carefully
Present age ratio 5 : 8
14 years earlier 1 : 2
Note that as difference b/w ages of two persons is always same, so what we do? We will make difference
b/w two ratio’s same.
Multiply first ratio by difference of second and second ratio bye difference of first.
First ratio when multiplied by difference of other i.e. (2-1=1) it becomes 5 : 8
When second ratio is multiplied by difference of first i.e. (8 - 5 = 3) we will get
1×3 : 2× 3
3 : 6
Now think mentally, that 14 years ago age of Rahul was 3 units and now it is 5 unit.
Therefore 2 units are equal to 14 years, which means 5 unit (age of Rahul) is 35 years.
NOTE: Concept behind multiplying by difference is that, we must make both differences (b/w the ratios) equal. To
make two numbers equal what we do? We take their LCM as common. If difference b/w two ratios are 4 and
6, we will multiply first ratio by 3 and second ratio by 2 to make their difference equal. Cross check it by
your self for some quantities for better confidence.
Example: Ratio of age of two friends is 7:9 while 10 years later it will be 19:23. Calculate their average age after 7
years from present.
Solution: Difference b/w the ratios are 2 and 4. So to make them equal multiply first ratio by 2. After multiplying we
will get
14 : 18.
And second ratio we have is 19 : 23.
Hence conclude mentally, that 14 units is present age of younger friend and 19 units is his 10 years later age.
It means that
19 – 1 4 =5 units = 10 year
1 unit = 2 years.
And their present average age is (28 + 36)/2 = 32 years.
And 7 years later mean 7 is added to both of their age, which means average age is 32 + 7 = 39 years.

 Key Points to Remember for New Pattern Questions

➢ Calculating average means making each quantity equal.
➢ To make difference of two ratios equal, try to think through ‘LCM of difference’ approach.
➢ If the average age of a group of people is X years, Y years later it will be X + Y years.

Percentage and Profit & Loss
5
1
A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100 i.e. 100
. For faster and easy calculation one should
2 2
use fractional equivalent of percentage. For example, it’s always easier to use 3 instead of 663%.
It becomes easy to understand a question when one talks in terms of percentage, but while calculating, it is always the
fractional equivalent that comes in hand.
While solving the question one must try to stay away from unnecessary calculation. This happens in many of the
questions related to profit and loss. Many times one starts calculating the absolute values of CP, SP etc. even when it’s
not required.
Let’s take a couple of sample questions.
Example 1 : 'The CP of an item is Rs. 270. After giving a discount of Rs. 27 a shopkeeper earns a profit of 20%. What
will be the profit percentage if he does not give the discount?’
Sol. Here, instead of finding out SP or MP, one should look at it the other way round. If discount of Rs. 27 is not
given, then Rs. 27 will become further profit for the shopkeeper.
27 is 10% percent of 270. Profit of 20% is already there, so new profit% would become 20% + 10% =
30%.
Example 2: ‘A man while buying cloth from a wholesaler uses a scale that measures 10% more than the actual length
and while selling the same cloth he uses a scale that measures 10% less than the actual length. Find his
overall profit or loss in this transaction.’
Sol. Here, one just needs to deal with the percentage the shopkeeper gains. While buying he gets 110 metre
cloth on the cost of 100 metre coth and while selling he gains the cost of 100metre just by selling 90 metre
cloth.

Simple Interest and Compound Interest
6
The interest can be defined as amount paid by the borrower to the lender in addition to the amount which he had
borrowed. In competitive exams, interest is classified into Simple interest (SI) and Compound Interest (CI).
Easiest example, when we borrow money from bank, it doesn’t say pay Rs. 100 as interest every year no matter whether
you took a loan of Rs 1000 or Rs 100000. They offer us a rate generally in % at which we have to pay interest. This rate
is known as Rate of interest (ROI).
For eg. If I borrowed Rs. 500 for 1 year at a rate of 8%/annum. Find the interest that I have to pay.
Always remember, this 8% we have to calculate on the amount we borrowed. 8% of Rs. 500 means Rs. 40, that I have to
pay as an interest.
Note: Different forms of ROI may be given or we have to change, as 3% for 3 months or 24% for 18 months. For easier
calculation we can normalize these in 12 month/year rate. In above rates, former means 12%/annum and later means
16%/annum.
Now, if I asked what would be amount of interest that I have to pay, If I borrow Rs. 500 for 3 years at same rate?
Here arise difference b/w SI and CI.
SIMPLE INTEREST:
Simple interest simply means that we have to pay same amount of interest every time. If I have to pay interest on Rs. 500
at ROI of 8%/annum for 3 years, it means I will pay
40 × 3 = RS 120.
Formula to calculate SI on an amount is
PRT
SI = 100
Here, P is the amount borrowed and generally it is referred as Principal.
R is ROI in %. (100 in equation is used to because of %)
And T is time in years.
NOTE: If it is asked in a question, that what is interest obtained at the ROI of 10%(or any value) for 5 years on amount of
Rs. Z.
In order to save time first calculate mentally 10 × 5 = 50%. Total interest will be 50 % of Principal amount.
COMPOUND INTEREST:
The one liner difference b/w SI and CI is that interest paid for every year is not same. Consider the above example.
Interest accrued in 1st year = Rs. 40
In CI principal amount changes, after 1year principal amount will be Rs. 540 not Rs. 500.
8
After second year interest obtained on Rs. 540 is 100 × 540 = Rs. 43.2
8
And interest after 3 years will be calculated on Rs 540+Rs 43.2= Rs 583.2 i.e 100 × 583.2= Rs. 46.65
And total interest will be 40 + 43.2 + 46.65= Rs 129.85
The formula for amount obtained after the given time period in CI
𝐑 𝐧
𝐀 = 𝐏 (𝟏 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎)
Here A is amount obtained after interest, P is principal, n is number of years R is ROI.

CI= A – P.

In competitive exams, this approach is rarely used because it will be too calculative if time is 3 years and ROI is 17%.
17 3 117
A = P (1 + ) = P( )3 Imagine if you started calculating cube of 117 .
100 100
Best approach to use in CI is resultant ROI, it makes CI as easy as SI. Eg.

If ROI on Rs.10000 in a scheme is Y%, calculate total interest after two years. Then resultant interest is
Y2
Y + Y + (Y × Y)/100 = 2Y +
100
17×17
Resultant interest % on 17%= 2×17 + = 34+ 2.89= 36.89%.
100
It is more time saving than traditional method. Little use of mind will help you to solve all kind of problems.
Note that if we can calculate resultant interest % for two years, we can also calculate it for three years. Actually general
formula for calculating resultant % for two years, if ROI on first year is X% and second year is Y%, then resultant interest
% will be
X×Y
X+Y+
100
For calculating 3year resultant interest, first calculate resultant interest of first two years and then again use resultant
formulae for adding resultant of first two year and ROI of 3rd year.
REMARK: Check 3 years total interest % for ROI 0f 10% whether it comes 33.1%.
DIRECT FORMULAE TO CALCULATE 3 YEARS RESULTANT INTEREST %
3r. 3 r² r³ __
Here, r is ROI
Note that
4 underscores (_ _ _ _) represent 4 digits after decimal. Further, make it clear that _ _ (last two digits are for last two digits
of value of r³]
And starting two (_ _) are for value of 3r².
Consider eg.
3r. 3 r² r³_
When r = 2
r³ = 08, r² = 4, 3r² = 12
Resultant interest is for 3 years
6.1208
Now consider r = 8
r³ = 512, r² = 64, 3r² = 192
use last two digits of r³ for last two digits.
i.e. 3r. _ _ 12, and carry on 5 to 3r².
3r² = 192 + 5 = 197.
Here also, use only its last 2 digit and carry on 1.
3r. 9 7 1 2
3r = 24 + 1 → carry on from 197.
Resultant interest % = 25.9712%
Check for r = 10%.
While solving a question, student should always keep in mind resultant interest %.
Example: Amount of Rs 4000 becomes Rs 6600 in SI in 5 years. Calculate ROI.
PRT
Solution: Though general formula of SI i.e. SI = is an easy approach,
100
But try mentally to solve RS 2600 is what % Rs 4000. You can mentally calculate that
2600 13
4000
= 20 which means 65%.
And 65% in 5 years in SI means 13%/year.
Example: Difference b/w interest obtained in SI and CI on an amount at the ROI of 10% is Rs. 310. Find the principal
amount.
Solution:
Calculate resultant % for SI and CI for 3 years at ROI of 10%.
Its 30% for SI and 33.1% for CI. But we know that we calculate interest on principal. It means that 3.1% of principal is
equal to Rs 310. Hence principal can be calculated.
POINTS TO REMEMBER ALWAYS:
Difference b/w interest obtained on CI and SI for 2 years is PR2/100.
Resultant interest % in CI for 3 years at 10% ROI is 33.1% and 15.7625% at ROI of 5%.

Time & Work and Pipe Cistern

• Questions asked from this topic generally to test mental ability of a student calculate the time in which a
man/team complete the given work while efficiency is given.
• While doing the questions from this topic, a most common approach that student must use is that
‘if a man completes 1 unit of work in N days, then amount/part of work done by him in 1 day is 1/𝑁,’
Assume that work of man is to eat 100 chocolates and he eats all of them in 10 days, then amount of work done
100
(chocolates eaten) in 1 day is = 10 𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑛.
10
Or
10
If Rashmi can make 10 cakes in 5 hours, then amount of work done (Cake made) by her in 1 hour is 5 = 2 cakes.
Another easy way to solve questions from this topic is % approach i.e ‘if a man can complete a work in 20 days,
100
then amount of work done by him in 1 day is % = 5%.
20
Consider an example: Rahul can complete a work in 10 days and Arun can complete the same work in 20 days.
Find the time in which the work will be completed if both of them work together.
There are three approaches to solve this:
(i) TRADITIONAL APPROACH

If Rahul can complete the work in 10 days, then amount of work done by him in 1 day
1
= 10 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
Similarly amount of work done by Arun in 1 day
1
= 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
20
1 1 3
Hence when both of them work together, total work done is + = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
10 20 20
3
Hence if 20 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑖𝑛 1 𝑑𝑎𝑦
Then 1 unit of work will be completed in 20/3 days.
(ii) LCM APPROACH

In this method, assume the LCM of days as a number of chocolates. LCM of 10 and 20 is 20. Now assume
that there were 20 chocolates, and If Rahul take 10 days to eat them all, it can be concluded that he ate 2
chocolates per day. Similarly, Arun can eat 1 chocolate in a day.
Therefore,
They both will eat 3 chocolates in 1 day.
20
Time taken to complete whole work(to eat all of them)= 3 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠.
NOTE: Our answer will be same, we consider any number of chocolates, but for easy calculation purpose
we use a number that is easily divisible by number of days given.
(iii) % APPROACH
This method is kind of same as (i). Consider the work unit as 100% work.
Now note that if Rahul take 10 days to complete 100% of work, then work done by him in 1 day is 10%.
Similarly work done by Arun in 1 day is 5%. Therefore, both of them working together will complete 15%
of work in 1 day.
100 20
100% of work will be completed in = 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠.
15 3
In all these approaches, 1 common thing that occurs is to calculate amount/part/percentage of work done in 1
day.
LCM approach is best used in the questions in which efficiency of pipe or volume of tank is given. Consider eg.

Visit: adda247.com
Example 1: Pipe A and Pipe B when both opened together can fill a tank in 4 minutes. Pipe A alone can fill it in 16
minutes. Find the time in which pipe B alone will fill the tank.
In traditional way:
1
Sol. Tank filled by Pipe A alone in 1 minutes = 16 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
Let pipe B alone can fill it in x minutes.
1
Then tank filled by pipe B alone 1 minute = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡.
𝑥
1 1 1
Therefore, 𝑥 + 16 = 4
1 3 16
𝑥
= 16 , 𝑥 = 3
LCM APPROACH
Let total units of tank are 16 liters. It means A can fill 1 liter in a minute. Assume that B fills x unit in a minute. Tank was
filled in 4 minutes’ means
4(𝑥 + 1) = 16
𝑥+1 = 4
x = 3 units per minute
16
time taken is minutes.
3
All this could be done was mentally through LCM method. Give it a try!
MAN-DAYS-HOUR-WORK THEOREM
According to this theorem if more than 1 man of equal efficiency are working together on a same work, then
amount/part of work done by them is directly proportional to the time given to work by number of man. In more simple
words work done depends on efficiency and total time given.
𝐦 𝐝 𝐡 𝐦 𝐝 𝐡
⇒ 𝟏𝐰𝟏 𝟏 = 𝟐𝐰𝟐 𝟐
𝟏 𝟐
Here m₁, m₂ are number of men
d₁, d₂ are number of days
h₁, h₂ are working hours in given days
w₁, w₂ are part/amount of work done.
For eg. 10 men in 5 days can do same amount of work as 5 men in 10 days or if we explore it more we can see 10 men in
6 days working 4 hours a day can do same amount of work as 30 men in 4 days working 2 hours a day.
Please verify above two examples, by assuming a man can eat 1 chocolate in 1 hour and try to solve given problem.
Example 2: 12 Men working 4 hours a day can complete 48% of work in 8 days. Calculate how many men are required
to complete 2 units of a work, if they have to complete it in 10 days, 8 hours a day.
Sol. In this type of problems, by default we have to assume that all men have equal efficiency and they do the
work with uniform speed.
Applying Man-day-hour formulae
m1 d1 h1 m d h
w1
= 2w2 2
2
Here,
m₁ = 12 m₂ = ?
d₁ = 8 d₂ = 10
h₁ = 4 h₂ = 8
w₁ = 48 w₂ = 200
Note that, here w₂ = 200 is used because, 2 units of work means 200% of work.
12×8×4×200
m2 = 48×8×10
m2 = 20
Another type of concept that is introduced here is when people with unequal efficiencies are working, for eg. 4 women
can do the same amount of work in a given time as 3 men. For these type of questions, we use ratio approach, we simply
write
4W= 3M
𝑊 3
= > 𝑀 = 4.
And then we consider efficiency of a men as 4 units and that of women as 3 units throughout the problem.
Few points to remember:
If the ratio of efficiencies of two persons is x:y then ratio of respective time taken by them is y:x.
1
If X is N times efficient than Y, time taken by X to complete a work is 𝑁 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 time taken by Y.
Total work done by a man of efficiency X in N days is 𝑁𝑋 units.

Chapter
Speed Time and Distance
8
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Speed is defined as the distance covered in per unit time. Mathematically, Speed= 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒
.
The whole concept of TSD (Time, speed and distance) lies within this formula. Three most logical points in TSD are:
1. When speed is constant,
Distance is directly proportional to time i.e. D ∝ 𝑇
2. When distance is constant,
1
Speed is inversely proportional to time i.e. S ∝
𝑇
3. When time is constant,
Speed is directly proportional to distance i.e. S ∝ 𝑇
Another important term that we must know while solving questions in this chapter is RELATIVE SPEED.
Relative speed is defined as the net speed of two entities when they are in motion.
If the two entities are moving in opposite direction to each other, net/relative/resultant speed is sum of the speeds. And
when they move in the same direction, their net/relative speed is the difference of their speeds.
Example: ‘A and B stay next to each other and study in the same school. A and B start walking towards their
school at speeds of 2 km/hr and 3 km/hr respectively. The faster of the two reaches the school first,
turns around and starts walking back. If A and B meet 200 m away from the home. What is the
distance between their residences and their school?’
Solution: Let the distance where they met be ‘x’ metres from the school.
Distance travelled by A = 200m
Distance travelled by B= 200+x+x=200+2x
As the ratio of their speed is 2:3, and time is same, hence the ratio of distance travelled by the them is also
2:3.
200 2
200+2𝑥
=3
Solving, x= 50
Distance between their residences to school= 200+ x= 250m
Example: A goods train leaves a station at a certain time. After 6 hours, an express train leaves the same station
and travels in the same direction at a speed of 90 km/hr. If the express train catches up the goods
train in 4 hours, what is the speed of the goods train?
Solution: Distance covered by express train after leaving the station = 90× 4 = 360𝑘𝑚
Goods train covers this distance in 6+4=10 hours.
360
Hence speed of goods train= 10 = 36 𝑘𝑚/ℎ𝑟
 Key Points to Remember for New Pattern Questions

➢ Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance travelled by total time taken.
➢ Always be careful that units of speed, time and distance for two or more entities should be same
while solving a problem.
5 18
➢ To change speed of km/hr into m/second multiply the former by and by 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒.

Chapter
Boat and Stream
9
The questions based on boats and streams are simply based on the concept of relative speed. Generally, two cases arise
when a boat moves. Either the boat moves along the flow of the stream or the boat moves in the direction opposite to
that of stream.
1. If boat moves in the direction of stream,
The net speed is the addition of the speed of stream and boat.
2. If boat moves in the direction opposite to that of stream, the net speed is the difference of their speeds (speed of
boat being more than that of stream).
In questions related to boat and streams, usually it happens that one may need to solve complex calculations but using a
bit of intelligent guess work one may save a good amount of time.
A sample problem shows one way of approach:
Example : ‘A man can row 24 km in upstream and 36 km in downstream in 9 hours. The same man can row 8 km in
upstream and 48 km in downstream in 6 hours. Calculate the speed of the stream.’
Sol. The basic approach to this question involves formation of two equations, which are If we assume speed of
stream as r and speed of boat as x.
24 36
𝑥−𝑟
+ 𝑥+𝑟 =9
8 48
𝑥−𝑟
+ 𝑥+𝑟 =6
It’s cumbersome to solve these set of equations. So we need to look at distance travelled in downstream or
in upstream. In majority of cases it’s better to take HCF of distance travelled in downstream in both cases.
HCF of 36 and 48 is 12. Now we have to break 12 in two parts such that, adding or subtracting them,
completely divides all the four distance. Try (10,2) (9,3) (8,4) and check whether these fulfill the
condition. Or check from option.
In short we can only check this by hit and trial method.
Here, speed of stream=4km/hr and that of boat in still water is 8 km/hr.

Mensuration
10
Questions related to mensuration usually don’t involve any short-cut methods for solving a problem. The reason
being how can one use short tricks when all one has to do is to deal with formulae. To solve questions faster and in a
lucid manner, one must avoid doing unnecessary and multiple calculations. Rather one must calculate only where it is
needed. In case, ratio or percentage is asked in the question, then it becomes more easy to do away with hefty
calculations and arrive at the answer by using basic elimination methods.
‘The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 3:2:1. If the breadth and height are halved while
the length is doubled, then the percentage change in total area of the four walls of the room.’
Area of four walls of the room= 2(lh+bh), where l,b and h are length, breadth and height of the room respectively.
As we have been asked the percentage change, let’s take length, breadth and height of the room to be 6,4 and 2
respectively.
Then changed values of length, breadth and height would be 12, 2 and 1.
Initial area of four walls= 2 (6 × 2 + 4 × 2) = 40
Final area of four walls= 2 (12× 1 + 2 × 1)= 28
28 is 70% of 40, which means there has been a reduction of 30%.

Chapter
Permutation, Combination and Probability
11
The best way to define probability is number of favorable outcomes divided by total number of possible outcomes. Eg.
When we conduct an experiment of throwing a dice and we have to calculate probability of getting 2.
Now number of favorable outcome is 1 i.e. ‘2’

And total number of possible outcomes is 6 i.e it may appear ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6’ on throwing a dice. Hence probability of
getting a ‘2’ is
1
=6
If we were asked what is the probability of getting an even number.

Number of possible outcome = 3 (2, 4 or 6)
3 1
Probability of getting an even number on throwing a dice = =
6 2
But the probability in bank exam is not this much easy, we encounter with way more complicated questions.
Example 1: A C++ program shuffles all the letters of a word. When the word INDIA was entered, a new word was given
as an output. What is the probability that new word formed is having all the vowels together?
Solution: We need to calculate two things
(i) Total number of possible outcomes
(ii) Total number of favorable outcomes
Imagine how many different words can be formed by re-arranging the words of INDIA.
And then how many different possible words can be formed when ‘IIA’ of ‘INDIA’ are together.
To solve these kind of questions we have PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION.

Permutation and Combination:
Basic definition: Permutation means different possible arrangement of things taken all or some of them together.
While Combination means different way of selection of things taken all or some of them together.
Eg. Of arrangement/permutation:
There were two chairs numbered 1 and 2. In how many ways A, B and C could sit on them?
SOLUTION: AB or BA, AC or CA and BC or CB. (First person denotes to sit on chair named A). Hence there are 6 possible
ways.
Eg. Of selection/ Combination
There were two chairs and three persons. In how many different ways they can sit on chairs?

Visit: adda247.com
Solution: Either AB, BC or AC will sit on two chairs. Hence there are 3 possible ways.
The point is arrangement when sequence matters is known as permutation or selecting some or all the persons is called
combination.
Before further discussion, let us revise few terms of permutation and combination.
! is called factorial.
N! where N is a natural number is N × (N-1) × (N-2)….. ×1
0! = 1
N N!
Pr = (N–r)!, it is used in permutation cases
N N!
Cr = C!(N–r)!, it is used in combination cases.
E.g. In previous cases.
3 3! 3×2×1
P2 = (3–2)! = = 6 arrangements.
1
3 3!
C2 = = 3 cases of selection.
2!(3–2)!
NOTE:
Though permutation and combination in itself are too big, here we will discuss few of the types of questions that are
asked in exam. Look at the previous example of INDIA.
Example 2: What is the probability that after rearranging the word ‘INDIA’ a new word is formed in which all vowels
are together?
SOLUTION: When n things in which p are of one type, q are of one type , then total no. of arrangements of those n
n!
things is =
p!q!
Taking two Is and one A as a single entity, we have in all 3 entities(N,D and the group of Is
and A).
Total no. of ways of arranging these three entities is 3!.
3!
Two Is and one A can be rearranged among themselves in ways.
2!
3!
Hence, total no. of ways in which all vowels are together is equal to 3!× =18.
2!
5!
Total no. of ways in which all letters of word INDIA can be arranged = 2!=60.
18 3
Hence required probability= 60=10
Example: What is the probability that a word formed after rearranging “ARRANGEMENT’’ such that all vowels are
together?
SOLUTION: Following the same method as that of previous question,
11! 11!
Total no. of ways of rearranging the letters of word ARRANGEMENT= =
2!2!2!2! 16
8! 4! 8!4!
No. of ways of arranging letters such that all vowels are together= 2!2! × 2!2! = 16
8!4!
4
Required probability= 16
11! = 165

KEY POINTS: Number of permutation of n things taken all at a time is n!

In examination, we come across questions in which we need to find two quantities and compare them to reach at the
correct answer. Usually such questions are asked in two ways. In one type of questions, a common data is provided
based on which we are supposed to find both quantities. In other type of questions each quantity comes up with some
data pertaining to it only.
In these questions, it’s important not to mingle or use data of one quantity in finding other quantity in cases where
separate data is given for both the quantities. Where common data is provided for both quantities, we have to use it for
calculating both the quantities. After calculating, we compare both quantities and choose the correct answer from the
options available.
Example: A and B starting a business together. B invested 60% more than that of A. Ratio of time period of investment
of A and B is 8 : 9.
Quantity I: A’s share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 25,200.
Quantity II; B’s share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 14,000.
(a) Quantity I > Quantity II (b) Quantity I < Quantity II
(c) Quantity I ≥ Quantity II (d) Quantity I ≤ Quantity II
(e) Quantity I = Quantity II or No relation
Solution: (e); Ratio of profit share of A and B
x×8 x×1.6×9
5 : 9

Quantity I: A’s profit = 25,200 × = 9000

Quantity II: B’s profit = 14,000 × = 9000

Quantity I = Quantity II
Over the years, questions that test a candidate’s basic algebraic knowledge have been and are being asked. In these
questions, two algebraic equations are provided. The equation may be linear, quadratic or cubic. At times, we may come
across equations containing higher powers of variable, but they aren’t too difficult to solve.
These equations generally contain one variable. From the given couple of equations we need to find the values of
two variables. Usually one of the equations gives us the value of one of the variables and the other gives the value of the
other variable. After finding the values of two variables we compare them and select the correct option accordingly.
Example: I. 21x² – 22x + 5 = 0
II. 63y² – 54y + 11 = 0
Solution (a); I. 21x² – 22x + 5 = 0
⇒ 21x² – 15x – 7x + 5 = 0
⇒ 3x (7x – 5) – 1 (7x – 5) = 0
⇒ (3x – 1) (7x – 5) = 0
1 5
⇒ 𝑥 = 3 or 7
II. 63y² – 54y + 11 = 0
⇒ 63y² – 21y – 33y + 11 = 0
⇒ 21y (3y – 1) – 11 (3y – 1) = 0
⇒ (21y – 11) (3y – 1) = 0
11 1
⇒𝑦= or
21 3
∴ no relation can be established.

Data Interpretation
13
What is data interpretation: When data is organized into tables and charts it is done with the purpose of making it meaningful.
The objective of data interpretation is to assess whether a student can understand bars and charts and Answer some questions
based on them. This act of organizing and interpreting data to get meaningful information under a given set of conditions is
Data interpretataion.
About data interpretation: This is the calculation intensive portion, it consists of a myrid of graph. charts and tables and
analyze data. The key to crack this area is to quickly Identify the key pieces of information that you will require to work on.
Basic key that will help you to solve this topic:

• Calculation
• Square
• cube
• table
• BODMAS
• Percentage
• Profit and loss
• Ratio and proportion
• Average
Types of Data Interpretation:

• Data table
• Line graph
• Pie charts
• Bar graph
• Mixed graph
• Line with pie chart
• Table with Bar
• Table with Line, etc.
• Radar graph
• Triangular graph
• Case study (Puzzle)
• Venn Diagram
• Table format
Approach for data interpretation:
• First you look carefully at the table or graph and the direction. Note the years to which, the data refers to and the units.
Sometimes the figures may be given in thousands. While the Answer may be millions Resulting in mistakes.
• The level of approximation that can be done is assessed from the choices. If the answer is wide, time should not be
wasted in working out exact figures. If the choice ‘none of the above exists, a close approximation may be required’.
• Read the question carefully, it will give an indication as to which row and column should be seen. A carefull reading
of the question will reveal exactly what is to be done and the units in which the answer is required.
• There may be one or two very large question requiring calculations. Attempt these at the last.
• Revise bar charts, table and line graphs before attempting D.I. question remember that the D.I. section is a scoring one
and also time saving.

Arithmetic Data Interpretation
14
INTRODUCTION: DI stands for DATA INTERPRETATION. Interpretation means representing a data in a sensitive way
after analyzing it well. In all the banking exam or particularly quant section of bank, DI plays vital role. The basic DI
consists of pie table, bar graph, numerical value table or graph.
Look at this example:
900
800
700
Number of mobiles
600
500
400
300
200
100
0
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Instead of telling ‘number of mobiles sold’ for each day it is represented in the graph. So that it is more visible and
interested for a reader in this form.
Common form of DI are ratios, percentages or average.
ARITHMETIC DI
Arithmetic DI means representing arithmetic equations and conditions in bar graphs, line graph, pie graph or in any
other form of DI. The questions on arithmetic DI also cover major portion in mains of any banking exam. So it is
necessary to understand the actual concept. Easy way to understand this is through an example.
Total Road construct = 3600 meters
E
A
46°
72°
D
90°
B
80°
C
72°
In this pie chart, portion of ‘Road construct’ is given for 5 different companies. For eg. Company A constructs
72
360
× 3600 = 720 meters road. Now to make question more complicated different individual for each team may be
given. Let us consider through a bar graph.

A B C D E
Name of teams
Here we have considered number of individuals in each team. Now they may ask you questions like “How many meters 1
member of team A constructs”. It is definitely easy one. We just had to do
720
= 40 meters.
18
or to make it more complicated they may ask you
“How many day will 8 members of team C will take to construct 3600 meters road?”
Do it yourself.
HINT: Calculate road constructed by an individual of team C in 1 day as we have calculated previously. Then calculate
how many days 8 men will take to construct given road.
A key point to solve any arithmetic DI is that to understand what had been given in DI. Then consider these as an
individual separate questions from arithmetic, also these questions are way easier. Now let us consider another
example:
25% Series 1
20%
20%
15%
15% 12%
10%

A B C D E
Look carefully, here a % graph is given and nothing have been mentioned.
Examiner may mention it “% of distance covered by these (A, B, C, D & E) individuals in 1 hour and total distance is 100
km” OR
“ % of work done by individuals in given time” OR
“ Profit/loss % earned on selling these items for shopkeeper”
“ Interest rate given by a bank to different individuals” or many other things.
Point is arithmetic DI is not as hard as student consider it in exams, it is always easier than actual arithmetic questions
that are asked in exam. Before solving a question, we must exactly know the information he had given. For eg. Consider
that this graph shows profit % for selling these items. In question, if examiner ask to calculate actual selling price, then
he must mention the CP or some other clue in exam.

Visit: adda247.com
Example: Profit earned on selling item C is Rs. 160, what is amount of profit earned for item D, if both items have
same selling price?
Solution: This is a typical DI question. Now look, if we know that 20% means Rs 160 we can calculate actual CP of
item C. (Profit % is always calculated on CP).
100
CP OF ITEM C = 160 × = 800.
20
It means SP of item C is Rs. 960
Also SP of item D is Rs. 960. And then we can calculate CP and amount of profit of item D.

Data Sufficiency
These questions formerly asked in only MAINS Examination but now-a-days these questions were seen in
PRELIMINARY Examinations too. So, student can’t deny the importance of DATA SUFFICIENY Questions.
In these questions some data are given in form of statements and one question is asked. Student must choose that
statement/statements which is/are sufficient to solve the given question.
They consist of two types. In first type, two statements are given while in second type, three statements are given,
and student is expected to choose the statement/statements among the given statements which is/are required to solve
the question. Five questions of each type are given below to practice this topic.
Example1.
What is the length of train ‘A’?
A. Train A takes 8 second to cross a pole
B. Train A cross train B coming from opposite side in 8 second, speed of train B is 25 m/sec and length of train B is
half of train A.
C. Train A takes 10 sec to cross two pole 100 m apart.
(a) Only A and B together
(b) Only A and C together
(c) Any two of them
(d) Either B alone or A and C together
(e) All statements are required
Solution:
1. (c); Let length of train A = L
Speed of train A = x
L
From A = = 8
x
L+0.5L
From B = x+25
=8
L+100
From C = x
= 10
From any of these two-statement question be solved.
Example 2:
In how many days B and C together can complete work?

A. Per day efficiency of A, B and C is in the ratio 3 : 2 : 4
B. A and B together can complete the work in 7.2 days
C. Time taken by A, B and C alone to complete the work is in the ratio 4 : 6 : 3.
(b) Either A and B or B and C
(c) Any two of them

Visit: adda247.com
Solution:
2. (b);From A per day efficiency = 3 : 2 : 4
⇒ ratio of time taken by A, B and C alone to complete work = 4 : 6 : 3 same as (C)
From B) time taken by A and B together = 7.2 days
Either B and A or B and C questions can be solved
Example3:
What is the base radius of the cone?
A. Total surface area of the cone is 462 cm²
1078√3
B. Volume of the given cone is 𝑐𝑚3 and height = 7√3 cm
3
C. Ratio of height and radius of the given cone is √3 : 1
(b) Only A and C together
(c) Any two of them
Solution:
3. (d) From A) T.S.A = πrℓ + πr² = 462 cm2
1078√3 h
From B) V = 3
= πr 2 3
And h = 7√3 cm
From C) h : r = √3 ∶ 1
Either B alone or A and C together, question can be solved.
Example 4:
Find the share of Satish in profit after one year among Satish, veer and Yogesh
A. Investment of Veer, Satish and Yogesh is in the ratio 6: 8: 9 and share of Yogesh in profit is Rs.900
B. Satish and Veer invested Rs.8000 and Rs.6000 for 9 months and one year respectively. Difference b/w profit earned
by Satish and Veer is Zero.
C. Satish, Veer and Yogesh invested for 9 months, 1 year and 8 months respectively and share of Veer in profit is 900.
(a) Either A and B or B and C
(b) Either A and B or A and C
(c) Any two of them
(e) Either A and C or B and C
Solution:
4. (e); Veer : Satish : Yogesh
From A and C) 6×12 : 8×9 : 9×8
72 : 72 : 72
1 : 1 : 1
Share of Veer = Share of Satish Rs 900
Satish : Veer
From (B and C) 8000×9 : 6000×12
1 : 1
Share of Veer share of Satish = Rs 900
Either A and C or B and C question can be solved.

Example 5:
What will be the probability of choosing two fresh eggs simultaneously from tray A given that there are only two trays
i.e. tray A and tray B?
A. Tray B contains 30 Eggs in which fresh and rotten eggs in the ratio 7 : 3. Ratio of fresh eggs in Tray A and Tray B is
2:3
B. Tray A contains 20 Eggs in total out of which 14 are fresh and rest are rotten.
C. Tray B contains 30 Eggs and Tray A contains 20 Eggs respectively. Ratio of Rotten eggs and fresh eggs in Tray A is 7 :
3
(a) Either A or B
(b) Either B or C
(c) Any one of them
(d) A alone
Solution:
5. (b); From A) Tray B = 30
Rotten eggs in Tray B = 9 eggs & fresh eggs in Tray B = 21 eggs
Tray A, Fresh eggs = 14 eggs
From B) Tray A = 20 eggs
Fresh eggs in Tray A = 14 Rotten eggs in Tray A = 6
From C)
Tray B = 30 eggs
Tray A = 20 Eggs
Rotten eggs in Tray A =6 eggs
Fresh eggs in Tray A = 14 eggs

16 Caselets
A Caselet is another way of providing data, more often, explicitly. Unlike various graphical methods of data
representation, a caselet requires to be solved completely before arriving at the answers to the questions that follow it.
Usually, in a caselet, data is provided through statements that imply the logic or relation of various components of data.
Some caselets are based on Set Theory and concepts of Set theory are applied to them. All other caselets are based on
basic mathematical understanding.
A sample example of a caselet is as follows:
‘PO’ exam in Lucknow is 60% more than candidates who are appearing for same exam in Agra. Number of
candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in Allahabad is 48% of total candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam. Ratio between total
candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam and ‘Clerk’ exam is 5 : 9. Difference between candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in
Lucknow and Allahabad is 400. Ratio between candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam to ‘Clerk’ exam in Agra and Lucknow
is 5 : 12 and 8 ; 9 respectively.
Let total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam and ‘Clerk’ exam is 500x and 900x
48
Number of candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in Allahabad = 100 × 500x = 240x
Remaining candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam in Agra and Lucknow together = 500x – 240x = 260x
Let total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam in Agra = y
Then total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam in Lucknow = 1.6y
ATQ,
y + 1.6y = 260x ⇒ y = 100x

total candidates appeared for ‘Clerk’ exam in Agra = 100x × 5
= 240x
