Formulas of Number Systems :

⇒ Sum of the first ‘n’ natural numbers i.e. 1 ₊ 2 ₊ 3 ₊ 4 ₊ 5 ₊ .. ₊ n ₌ n (n ₊ 1) / 2.

⇒ Sum of the squares of the first ‘n’ natural numbers i.e. 1² ₊ 2² ₊ 3² ₊ 4² ₊ …. ₊ n² ₌ n (n ₊ 1) (2n ₊
1) / 6.

⇒ Sum of the cubes of first ‘n’ natural numbers i.e. 1³ ₊ 2³ ₊ 3³ ₊ … ₊ n³ ₌ {n (n ₊ 1) / 2}².

⇒ Sum of first ‘n’ odd numbers ₌ n².

⇒ Sum of first ‘n’ even numbers ₌ n (n ₊ 1).

Mathematical Formulas:

⇒ (a – b)² ₌ (a² ₊ b² – 2ab)

⇒ (a ₊ b)² ₌ (a² ₊ b² ₊ 2ab)

Formulas of Percentage:

⇒ Percentage Increased ₌ (Increased / Original Value x 100) %

⇒ Percentage decrease ₌ (decreased / Original Value x 100) %

⇒ If the price of a commodity increases by r%, then the reduction in consumption, so as not to
increase the expenditure is {r / (100 ₊ r) x 100} %.

⇒ If the price of a commodity decreases by r%, then the increase in consumption, so as not to
decrease the expenditure is {r / (100 - r) x 100} %.

Formulas of Time and Work:

⇒ If A can do a piece of work in ‘n’ days, then work done by A in 1 day ₌ 1 / n.

⇒ If A’s 1 day work ₌ 1 / n, then A can finish the whole work in ‘n’ days
⇒ If A is twice as good a workman as B, then

Ratio of work done by A and B ₌ 2 : 1.

Ration of time taken by A and B ₌ 1 : 2.

⇒ If two persons A and B can individually do some work in ‘a’ and ‘b’ days respectively, then A
and B together can complete the same work in (ab / a ₊ b) days.

⇒ If two persons A and B together can complete the same work in ‘a’ days and A (or B) can
individually do some work in ‘b’ days then B (or A) can complete the work in (ab / b - a) days.

Formulas of Averages :

The average of a given number of quantities of the same kind is expressed as

⇒ Average ₌ Sum of Quantities / Number of Quantities.

Average is also called the Arithmetic Mean. Also,

⇒ Sum of quantities ₌ Average x Number of Quantities.

⇒ Number of Quantities ₌ Sum of Quantities / Average.


Formulas of Simple and Compound Interest:

When interest is compounded annually:

⇒ Amount ₌ Principal (1 ₊ R / 100)ⁿ

When interest is compounded half - yearly::

⇒ Amount ₌ Principal (1 ₊ R/2 / 100)²ⁿ

When interest is compounded Quarterly:

⇒ Amount ₌ Principal (1 ₊ R/4 / 100)⁴ⁿ

When interest is compounded annually but time is in fraction, say 3 ⅖ years.:

⇒ Amount ₌ Principal (1 ₊ R / 100)³ x (1 ₊ ⅖ R / 100)

When Rates are different for different years, say R₁ %, R₂ %, R₃ % for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year
respectively:

Then,

⇒ Amount ₌ Principal (1 ₊ R₁ / 100) (1 ₊ R₂ / 100) (1 ₊ R₃ / 100).

Formula of Combination is:

A combination is the choice of r things from a set of n things without replacement and where order
doesn't matter.

⇒ ɴCᵣ = (n/r) = ɴPᵣ / r! = n! / r! (n - r)!
