    Unit Objective (CO 5)

    • Course objective: Sensitize students with the skills to enhance employability and build stronger connections with their work environment.

    Simplification (CO 5)

    • BODMAS Rule: Defines the correct order of operations (Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) for simplifying mathematical expressions.

    Topic objective of Simplification (CO 5)

    • Eliminate unnecessary parts of a process.
    • Combine and rearrange parts of a process.
    • Simplify the necessary parts of the process.

    Simplification (Contd.) (CO5)

    • Q.1: Solve: 4 + 10 - 3 × 6 ÷ 3 + 4 = 12
    • Q.2: Evaluate expressions with multiple operations, following BODMAS rule accurately. Examples: 9 - 7-24 ÷ (8 + 6 × 2 - 16), etc.

    Multiple Choice Questions (CO5)

    • Ques. 1-5: Multiple-choice questions covering various simplification and percentage topics. Examples include evaluating expressions with percentages, fractions, or roots (e.g., 9/42 ÷ 108/63 × 328–5/7 + 7/5).

    Ans. Of Multiple Choice Questions (CO5)

    • Answers: Solutions to the multiple-choice questions.

    Quiz(CO5)

    • Questions: Problems related to evaluating expressions and simplifying mathematical expressions (ex: Evaluate (2³)³ + (-15)³ + (-8)³).
    • Simplification examples: Problems related to simplifying expressions with square roots, cube roots, etc.

    Percentages (CO5)

    • Definition: A percentage represents a fraction with a denominator of 100.
    • Key Concept: X% of Y is (X/100) * Y

    Application of percentage (CO5)

    • Type 1: Salary based Problems: Examples on how income and expenditure changes affect savings percentages.
    • Type 2: Population Related Problems: Examples on calculating population growth over time.
    • Type 3: Examination based problems: Examples on solving problems related to marks in exams.

    Basic Concept of Profit & Loss (CO5)

    • Profit: Selling Price - Cost Price
    • Loss: Cost Price - Selling Price
    • Profit %: [(Selling Price - Cost Price)/Cost Price] x 100
    • Loss %: [(Cost Price - Selling Price)/Cost Price] x 100

    Profit & Loss (CO5) (Contd.)

    • Formulae: - Selling Price = Cost Price (1 ± x/100) - where +x = profit percentage - where -x = loss percentage

    • Discount: The reduction given on the marked price.
    • Selling Price (SP): The price at which an item is sold after the discount.
    • Discount Formula: SP = MP (1 - d/100), where d is the discount percentage.

    Topic objective of Discount (CO5)

    • Detail the objective of offering discounts in business.

    Average (CO5)

    • Definition: Average = (Sum of Observations) / (Number of Observations)

    Number & Series (CO5)

    • Tips for Number Series:
      • Observe familiar patterns (e.g., prime numbers, squares, cubes).
      • Examine differences between numbers to identify patterns (addition, subtraction, multiplication).
      • Identify complex patterns requiring a combination of operations or relationships between consecutive terms.

    Number & Series (CO5) (Contd.)

    • Possible patterns in number series:
      • Addition or subtraction of a constant value.
      • Multiplication or division by a constant value.
      • Combination of operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
      • Patterns are growing or decreasing.
      • Square and cube series.

    Coding & Decoding (CO5)

    • Fundamentals: Methods for encoding and deciphering information.
    • Types: Letter, number, symbol coding; deciphering message word coding; substitution coding.
