1.

Number System

- Divisibility Rules, HCF & LCM: a*b = HCF * LCM

- Remainder Theorem, Euler's Totient Function (n)

- Number of trailing zeroes = n/5 + n/25 + ...

2. Algebra

- (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

- (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

- Quadratic Equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0 x = [-b (b2 - 4ac)] / 2a

3. Arithmetic

- Percentage = (Part/Whole) * 100

- Simple Interest = (P R T)/100

- Compound Interest = P(1 + R/100)^T

4. Time, Speed, Distance

- Speed = Distance / Time

- Time = Distance / Speed

- Relative Speed = Sum or Difference of individual speeds

5. Time and Work

- Work = Rate Time

- If A can do a work in x days, then A's 1 day work = 1/x

- Total Work = LCM of time taken by individuals

6. Geometry

- Area of Triangle = 12 base height

- Area of Circle = r2; Circumference = 2r

- Pythagoras Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2

7. Mensuration

- Volume of Sphere = (4/3)r3

- Volume of Cylinder = r2h


- Surface Area of Cube = 6a2

8. Permutation & Combination

- nPr = n! / (n-r)!

- nCr = n! / [r!(n-r)!]

- Total arrangements of n distinct items = n!

9. Probability

- Probability = (Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes)

- P(E') = 1 - P(E)

10. Logarithms

- log(ab) = log a + log b

- log(a/b) = log a - log b

- log(a^b) = b * log a

11. Progressions

- AP: nth term = a + (n-1)d; Sum = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]

- GP: nth term = ar^(n-1); Sum = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) if r < 1

12. Set Theory

- n(A B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A B)

- Venn Diagram applications for 2 or 3 sets

13. Surds and Indices

- a^(m/n) = n(a^m)

- Rules: a^m * a^n = a^(m+n); (a^m)^n = a^(mn)

14. Mixtures and Alligations

- Average = (Sum of quantities) / (Total quantity)

- Alligation Rule: (D1 - Mean) / (Mean - D2) = Quantity2 / Quantity1
