Study Notes
Number System
- Types of Numbers: Natural numbers, Whole numbers, Integers, Rational numbers, Irrational numbers, Real numbers.
-
Divisibility Rules:
- A number is divisible by 2 if it is even.
- A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
- A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.
-
LCM and GCD:
- LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest multiple common to two or more numbers.
- GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the largest factor common to two or more numbers.
- Fractions: Simplification, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
Percentage
- Definition: A percentage is a fraction of 100.
-
Conversion:
- Percentage to decimal: Divide by 100 (e.g., 25% = 0.25).
- Decimal to percentage: Multiply by 100 (e.g., 0.75 = 75%).
-
Calculations:
- To find a percentage of a number: (Percentage/100) × Number.
- Increase or decrease a number by a percentage involves finding the percentage and adding/subtracting it.
- Successive Percentage Change: Use the formula (1 + p1/100) × (1 + p2/100) for calculating successive improvements.
Profit And Loss
-
Basic Concepts:
- Cost Price (CP): Price at which an item is bought.
- Selling Price (SP): Price at which an item is sold.
- Profit = SP - CP; Loss = CP - SP.
- Profit Percentage: (Profit/CP) × 100.
- Loss Percentage: (Loss/CP) × 100.
- Discount: Reduction from the marked price; Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price.
Time And Work
-
Work Efficiency:
- Work done by one person in one day = 1/(Number of days taken).
- If A can do a job in x days and B in y days, A and B together can do the job in (xy)/(x+y) days.
-
Work Problems:
- Use the formula: Total Work = Number of Workers × Time Taken.
- Incorporate conditions like days off, work done in different rates, etc.
Data Interpretation
-
Types of Data Representation:
- Bar graphs, Pie charts, Line graphs, Tables.
-
Key Skills:
- Ability to extract information from visual data.
- Calculation of averages, percentages, and ratios from data sets.
- Analyzing Trends: Identifying increases, decreases, and patterns in data.
-
Common Questions:
- Finding totals, averages, and making comparisons between different data sets.
Number System
- Types of Numbers: Includes natural numbers (1, 2, 3...), whole numbers (0, 1, 2...), integers (..., -1, 0, 1...), rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed as fractions), irrational numbers (non-repeating, non-terminating decimals), and real numbers (all rational and irrational numbers).
-
Divisibility Rules:
- Divisibility by 2: A number is even.
- Divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
- Divisibility by 5: The number ends in 0 or 5.
-
LCM and GCD:
- LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest non-zero multiple that is common to two or more numbers.
- GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the largest integer that divides two or more numbers without a remainder.
- Fractions: Operations include simplification, and calculating addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
Percentage
- Definition: Represents a value as a fraction of 100, useful for comparing relative sizes.
-
Conversion:
- Convert percentage to decimal by dividing by 100 (e.g., 25% becomes 0.25).
- Convert decimal to percentage by multiplying by 100 (e.g., 0.75 becomes 75%).
-
Calculations:
- To find a percentage of a number, multiply the percentage by the number and divide by 100.
- Increasing a number by a percentage involves calculating the percentage and adding it to the original number; decreasing involves subtracting.
- Successive Percentage Change: For multiple changes, use the formula (1 + p1/100) × (1 + p2/100) to calculate cumulative percentage changes.
Profit And Loss
-
Basic Concepts:
- Cost Price (CP) is the purchase price of an item, while Selling Price (SP) is the price at which the item is sold.
- Profit is calculated as SP minus CP, while Loss is calculated as CP minus SP.
- Profit Percentage: Calculated as (Profit/CP) × 100 to determine profit relative to the cost price.
- Loss Percentage: Calculated as (Loss/CP) × 100 to determine loss relative to the cost price.
- Discount: Discount is the difference between the marked price and the selling price.
Time And Work
-
Work Efficiency:
- The daily work output of one person can be calculated as the reciprocal of the total days they take to complete a job.
- For two workers A and B, if A completes a job in x days and B in y days, their combined efficiency allows them to complete the job in (xy)/(x+y) days.
-
Work Problems:
- Total Work can be expressed as the product of the total number of workers and the time taken, allowing adjustment for different rates of work and days off.
Data Interpretation
- Types of Data Representation: Common forms include bar graphs (useful for comparison), pie charts (showing parts of a whole), line graphs (displaying trends over time), and tables (organizing data for clarity).
-
Key Skills:
- Ability to extract and interpret information from visual data representations.
- Skills in calculating averages, percentages, and ratios based on data sets.
- Analyzing Trends: Recognizing patterns such as increases and decreases in data allows for informed conclusions.
- Common Questions: Typical tasks include finding totals, averages, and making comparisons across various data sets.
