It is denoted by the letter R.
Numbers starting from 1,2,3, 4,. And so on are known as Natural numbers.
A group of digits together form a number where the digits can only be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 &9.
1. There are two methods of representing a number:
a) Indian system of numeration
b) International system of numeration
2. Place value of a digit in a number =Face value X Position value
3. In case if two numbers have the same digit in unit place, then you start comparing from the left most
digits of two numbers.
4. The smallest 4-digit number mathematically is 1000, since its the next number after the highest 3-
digit number which is 999 in other words the successor of greatest 4 digit number is the smallest 5
digit number 10,000, successor of greatest 3 digit number is the smallest 4 digit number 1000.
5. Predecessor of smallest 4-digit number 1000 is the greatest 3-digit number 999. Predecessor of the
smallest 5-digit number 10,000 is the greatest 4-digit number 9999.
6. If you want to make the smallest number, then you have to start by changing 1 in the left most part
and adding zeroes. The smallest four-digit number is 1000.
7. If you want to make the largest number then you to start by changing 9 in the left most part. For
example, the largest four-digit number is 9999.
8. Quantity Length:
a) 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) b) 1 milliliter =1 gram(gm)

10. You can add or subtract the roman numerals by writing the desired quantity in either right or left
respectively such as 21 can be written as XXI and 49 ILIX
WHOLE NUMBERS
Numbers starting from 0,1,2,3, 4… & so on are known as whole numbers. A number that divides a given
number without leaving any remainder is the factor of that number.
1. A multiple of a number is exactly divisible by the number
2. L C M (Least common multiple) of two numbers a and b is the smallest positive integer which is
divisible by both a and b.
3. H C F (Highest common factor) of two numbers a and b is the largest positive integer that divides
each of these given integers.
4. Euclid’s Division Lemma:
For ‘a’ and ‘b’ any two-positive integer, we can always find unique integer ‘q’ and ‘r’ such that
a=bq+ r ,0 ≤ r <b if r =0 , then ‘b’ is divisor of ‘a’.
HCF of two positive integers can be find using the Euclid’s Division Lemma algorithm.
We know that for any two integers a & b. We can write following expression
a=bq+ r 0 ≤ r <b
If r =0 , then HCF ( a , b )=b
If r ≠ 0 ,then HCF ( a , b )=HCF (b , r)
Again expressing the integer b,r in Euclid’s division Lemma, we get
b= pr+ r 1
HCF ( b ,r )=HCF (r , r 1)
Similarly, successive Euclid’s division can be written until we get the remainder zero, the divisor at
that point is called the HCF of the ‘a’ and ‘b’
5. If HCF(a,b)=1 then ‘a’ and ‘b’ are co primes.
6. Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic: Composite number =Product of primes
7. HCF and LCM by prime factorization method:
HCF=Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.
LCM= Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the number.
HCF ( a ,b ) × LCM ( a , b )=a ×b .
8. Important concept of rational number:
Let ‘x’ be the rational number whose Decimal expansion terminates. Then we can express ‘x’ in the
p
form where ‘p’ and ‘q’ are co prime and the prime factorization of ‘q’ is of the form 2n 5n where n,
q
m are non-negative integers.
9. If a, b & c are the whole numbers, then

CO-ORDINATE GEOMETRY
Whenever you have to locate an object on a plane, you need to divide the plane into two
perpendicular lines, thereby making it a Cartesian plane.
1. The horizontal line is known as the x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis.
2. The co-ordinates of a point are in the form of (+, +) is the first quadrant. (-, +) is the second
quadrant. (-, -) is the third quadrant. And (+, -) is the fourth Quadrant; where + and – denotes the
positive and the negative real number respectively.
3. The co-ordinates at the origin are (0,0) and thereby it gets up to move in the positive and negative
numbers.
We require two perpendicular axes to locate a point in the plane. One of them is horizontal and
other is Vertical.
The plane is called Cartesian plane and axis are called the coordinates axis
The horizontal axis is called x-axis and Vertical axis is called Y-axis
The point of intersection of axis is called origin.
The distance of a point from y axis is called x –coordinate or abscissa and the distance of the
point from x –axis is called y – coordinate or Ordinate
The Origin has zero distance from both x-axis and y-axis so that its abscissa and ordinate both
are zero. So, the coordinate of the origin is (0, 0).
A point on the x –axis has zero distance from x-axis so coordinate of any point on the x-axis
will be (x, 0).
A point on the y –axis has zero distance from y-axis so coordinate of any point on the y-axis
will be (0, y).
The axes divide the Cartesian plane in to four parts. These Four parts are called the quadrants.
4. The coordinates of the points in the four quadrants will have sign according to the below table
Quadrant X Quadrant Y Quadrant
Ist Quadrant + +
IInd Quadrant - +
IIIrd Quadrant - -
IVth Quadrant + -
1. Distance formula:
Distance between the points A(x 1 , y1 )and B( x 2 , y 2 ) is given by D= √( x 2−x1 )2+( y 2− y1 )2
Distance of a point A(x , y) from origin O(0,0) is given by D= √ x 2 + y 2
2. Section Formula:

GEOMETRY
Geometry is the study of different shapes and figures.
1. A line segment corresponds to the shortest distance between two points. The line segment joining points
A and B is denoted by AB ´
2. Two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines. Two parallel lines will never intersect
each other.
3. A polygon is a simple closed figure comprising different line segments.
4. A quadrilateral is a four – sided polygon. In a quadrilateral ABCD, AB ´ & DC ´ and AD ´ & BC ´ are pairs
of opposite sides. ^A&C ^ and ^B & ^D are pairs of opposite angles.

1. Quadrilateral
A Quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with four
angles. there are many kinds of quadrilaterals. The five
most common types are Parallelogram, rectangle,
square, trapezoid and rhombus
1. Congruence
Two geometric figures are said to be congruent if they are exactly same size and shape symbol used is ≅
Two angles are congruent if they are equal. two circles are congruent if they have equal radii. Two
squares are congruent if the sides are equal.
Triangle Congruence Two triangles are congruent if three sides and three angles of
one triangle is congruent to the corresponding sides and angles
of the other
Corresponding sides are equal AB=FD, BC=DE,AC=FE
Corresponding angles are equal ^ A= ^
F , ^B= ^ ^ ^
D C= E
We write this as
ABC ≅ FDE
The above six equalities are between the corresponding parts
of the two congruent triangles. In short form this is called C.P.C.T
We should keep the letters in correct order on both sides

Pythagoras Theorem:
1. If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse,
then the triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and also to each
other.
2. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two
sides (Pythagoras theorem (hyp)2=(base)2 +( perp )2
3. If in a triangle, square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the
angle opposite the first side is a right angle.
Circle:
A circle is a collection of all the points in a plane, which are equidistant from a fixed point in the
plane
Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) subtend equal angles at the center
If the angles subtended by two chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) at the center
(corresponding center) are equal then the chords are equal.
The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
The line drawn through the center of a circle to bisect a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
There is one and only one circle passing through three non-collinear points
Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the center (or corresponding centers).
Chords equidistant from the center (or corresponding centers) of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equal
If two arcs of a circle are congruent, then their corresponding chords are equal and conversely, if two
chords of a circle are equal, then their corresponding arcs (minor, major) are congruent.
Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the center.
The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the
remaining part of the circle.
Angles formed in the same segment of a circle are equal.
Angle in a semicircle is a right tangle.
If a line segment joining two points subtends equal angles at two other points lying on the same side
of the line containing the line segment, the four points lie on a circle.
The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
If the sum of a pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180°, then the quadrilateral is cyclic.

Data Handling
The average of arithmetic mean or mean =
∑ of observations
Number of observations
Statistics:
Statistics is a broad mathematical discipline which studies ways to collect, summarize and draw
conclusions from data.
1. Data:
A systematic record of facts or different values of a quantity is called data.
Data is of two types – primary data and secondary data.
Primary Data: The data collected by a researcher with a specific purpose in mind is called primary data.
Secondary Data: The data gathered from a source where it already exists is called secondary data.
2. Features of data:
Statistics deals with collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.
Arrange data in an order to study their salient features is called presentation of data.
Data arranged in ascending or descending order is called arrayed data or an array
Range of the data is the difference between the maximum and the minimum values of the
observations
Table that shows the frequency of different values in the given data is called a frequency
distribution table.
A frequency distribution table that shows the frequency of each individual value in the given data is
called an ungrouped frequency distribution table.
A table that shows frequency of groups of values in the given data is called a grouped frequency
distribution table.
The groupings used to group the values in given data are called classes or class-intervals. The
number of values that each class contains is called the class size or class width. The lower value in a
class is called lower class limit. The higher value in a class is called the upper class limit.
Class mark of a class is the mid value of the two limits of that class.
A frequency distribution in which the upper limit of one class differs from the lower limit of the
succeeding class is called an Inclusive or discontinuous Frequency Distribution.
A frequency distribution in which the upper limit of one class coincides from the lower limit of the
succeeding class is called an exclusive or continuous frequency.
3. Bar graph:
A bar graph is a pictorial representation of a data in which rectangular
bars of uniform width are drawn with equal spacing between them on
one axis, usually the x-axis. The
value of the variable is shown on the other axis that is y-axis
4.Histogram
A line graph displays data that changes continuously over periods of time
7. Linear Graph
8. Mean:
The mean value of the variable is defined as the sum of all
the values of the variable divided by the number of values.

9. Median:
The median of a set of data values is the middle value of the data set when it has been arranged in ascending
order. That is, from the smallest value to the highest value
1
Median is calculated as (n+1) where ‘n’ is the odd number of values in the data
2
If the number of values in the data set is even, then the median is the average of the two middle Values.
10. Mode:
Mode of a statistical data is the value of that variable which has the maximum frequency.
11. Mean for Ungroup Frequency table:
Mean is given by M =
∑ f i xi
∑fi
12. Mean for group Frequency table:
In these distributions, it is assumed that frequency of each class interval is centered around its mid-point
i.e. class marks.

h=size of the class interval (assuming all class sizes to be equal)
f 1 =frequency of the modal class,
f 0 =frequency of the class preceding the modal class,
f 2 =frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.

SIMPLE EQUATIONS
An equation is a condition on a variable such that two expressions in the variable should have equal values.
Linear Equations in one variable
Important points to Note:
1. All these equations contain the equality (=) sign.
2. The expression on the left of the equality sign is the left-hand side (LHS). The expression on the right of
the equality sign is the right-hand side (RHS)
3. In an equation the values of the expression on the LHS and RHS are equal. This happens to be true only
for certain values of the variables. These values are the solutions of the equation.
4. We assume that the two sides of the equation are balanced, we perform the same mathematical
operations on both sides of the equation, so that the balance is not disturbed. We get the solution after
generally performing few steps.
5. A linear equation in one variable has only one solution.
The graphical solution can be obtained by drawing the lines on the Cartesian plane

Factorization using identities:
Use the below identities to factories it
(a+ b)2=a2 +2 ab+ b2
(a−b)2=a2−2 ab+b 2
( a+ b ) ( a−b )=a 2−b2
Factorization of the form ( x +b ) ( x−b ) :
Given x 2+ px +q
a. We find two factors a and b of q (i.e. the constant term) such that ab=q∧a+ b= p
b. Now expression can be written
x 2+ ( a+b ) x +ab or x 2+ ax+ bx+ ab or x ( x +a )+ b( x +a) or ( x +a ) (x +b)which are required

1. Unitary method:
Unitary method is one of the most useful method to solve ratio, proportion and percentage problems.
In this we first find value of one unit and then find the value of required number of units.
So in short unitary method comprises two following steps.
Step 1=Find the value of one unit.
Step 2= Then find the value of required number of units.
2. Percentages:
Percentages are ways to compare quantities. They are numerators of fractions with denominator 100 or it
basically means per 100 value
Percent is derived from Latin word ‘per centum’ meaning ‘per hundred’
It is denoted by % symbol
1% means 1/100=0.01
We can use either unitary method or we need to convert the fraction to an equivalent fraction with
denominator 100.
3. Discounts:
Discount is a reduction given on the Marked price (MP) of the article.
This is generally given to attract customers to buy goods or to promote sales of the goods, you can find
the discount by subtracting its selling price from its marked price. So, Discount=Marked price –Selling

6. Interest:
Interest is the extra money paid by institutions like banks or post offices on money deposited (kept) with
them. Interest is also paid by people when they borrow money.
7. Simple interest:
Principal (P): The original sum of money loaned/deposited. Also known as capital.
Time (T): The duration for which the money is borrowed/ deposited.
Rate of interest (R): The percent of interest that that you pay for money borrowed, or earn for money
deposited.
P × R ×T
Simple interest is calculated as SI =

Total amount at the end of time period A=P+ SI
8. Compound interest:
Principal (P): The original sum of money loaned/deposited. Also known as capital.
Time (T): The duration for which the money is borrowed/ deposited.
Rate of interest (R): The percent of interest that that you pay for money borrowed, or earn for money
deposited.
Compound interest is the interest calculated on the previous year’s amount A=P+ I

Probability
Probability is the possibility of any event likely to happen. The probability of any event can only be from
0 to 1 with 0 being no chances and 1 being the possibility of that event to happen
Number of favourable outcomes
probability=
Total number of outcomes .
1. Empirical probability:
It is a probability of event which is calculated based on experiments
Noof trails which expected outcome came
Empirical Probability=
Total Number of trials
Example:
A coin is tossed 1000 times; we get 499 times head and 501 times tail,
So empirical or experimental probability of getting head is calculated as
499
P= =0.499
1000
Empirical probability depends on experiment and different will get different values based on the
experiment
2. Important point about events:
If the event A, B, C covers the entire possible outcome in the experiment. Then,
P (A) +P (B) +P(C)=1
3. Impossible event:
The probability of an event (U) which is impossible to occur is 0. Such an event is called an impossible
event P (U)=0
4. Sure, or certain event:
The probability of an event (X) which is sure (or certain) to occur is 1. Such an event is called a sure
event or a certain event P(X) =1
5. Probability of any event:
Probability of any event can be as 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1
6. Theoretical Probability:
The theoretical probability or the classical probability of the event is defined as
P ( E )=Number of outcome favourable ¿ E ¿
Number of all possible outcome of the experiment
7. Elementary events:
An event having only one outcome of the experiment is called an elementary event. “The sum of the probabilities of all the
elementary events of an experiment is 1.”
I.e., If we three elementary event A, B, C in the experiment, then P(A)+P(B) +P(C)=1
8. Complementary events:
The event Ᾱ, representing ‘not A’, is called the complement of the event
A. We also say that Ᾱ and A are complementary events. Also, P(A) +P(Ᾱ)=1
