Arithmetic Progression: The nth term of A.P. is given by Tn = a + (n 1)d; Sum of n terms of A.P Sn = n/2 *(a + L) Geometrical Progression: or n/2 *[2a+(n-1)d)]
a = 1st term, n = number of term, d= difference, Tn = nth term
Tn = arn 1.
Sn = a(rn 1)/(r-1); a = 1st term , r = 1st term / 2nd term

Time and Work (Pipes)

Pipes A and B running together can fill a cistern in 6 minutes. If B takes 5 minutes more than A to fill the cistern then find the time in which A and B will fill the cistern separately.

Answer: 1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 Solving the above equation,
Pipe A will fill the cistern in 10 minutes.

Pipe B will fill the cistern in 15 minutes.

A cistern has two taps which fill it in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. There is also a waste pipe in the cistern. When all the pipes are opened, the empty cistern is filled in 20 minutes. How long will a waste pipe take to empty a full cistern ?

Solution: All the tap work together = 1/12 + 1/15 - 1/20 = 5/60 + 4/60 3/60 = 6/60 = 1/10 The waste pipe can empty the cistern in 10 minutes.

One fill pipe A is 3 times faster than
second fill pipe B and takes 32 minutes

less than the fill pipe B. when will the
cistern be full if both pipes are opened

together ?

Solution: B=x A = 3x B = x (1/3) = x/3 x 32 =x/3 3x 96 = x 3x x = 96 2x = 96 x = 96/2 = 48 B = 48 -32 = 16 A and B together = 1/16 + 1/48 = 1/12 The cistern will be filled in 12 minutes when both the pipes are opened together.

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 min. and 40 min. respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after how much time A should be closed so that the tank is full in 10 minutes?

Solution: Let B be closed after x minutes. Then, Part filled by (A+B) in x min + part filled by A in( 10 x min)=1 x (1/20 +1/40) + (10 x) * 1/20 = 1 x (3/40) + 10 x/20 = 1 3x/40 + 10 x/ 20 = 1 3x + 20 2x = 40 3x 2x = 40 -20 x = 20 min. A must be closed after 20 minutes.

Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 6 hours and 4 hours respectively. If they are opened on alternate hours and if pipe A is opened first, in how many hours, the tank shall be full?

Solution: As work in hour = 1/6, Bs work in 1 hour = 1/4 (A + B) s 2 hr work = 1/6+1/4 = 5/12 (A + B) s 4 hr work = 10/12 = 5/6 Remaining Part = 1- 5/6 = 1/6 Now, it is As turn and 1/6 part is filled by A in 1 hour. Total time = 4+1 =5

Simple / Compound Interest

Simple Interest = PNR / 100
Amount A = P + PNR / 100

When Interest is Compound annually: Amount = P (1 + R / 100)n C.I = A-P

Half-yearly C.I.: Amount = P (1+(R/2)/100)2n
Quarterly C.I. :
Amount = P (1+(R/4)/100)4n
Simple/compound interest
