CLAT Arithmetic Formulas
⇒ Sum of the squares of the first ‘n’ natural numbers i.e. 1² ₊ 2² ₊ 3² ₊ 4² ₊ …. ₊ n² ₌ n (n ₊ 1) (2n ₊
1) / 6.
Mathematical Formulas:
⇒ (a ₊ b) (a – b) ₌ (a² – b²)
Formulas of Percentage:
⇒ 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} %.
⇒ 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
⇒ 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 :
When Rates are different for different years, say R₁ %, R₂ %, R₃ % for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year
respectively:
Then,
A permutation is the choice of r things from a set of n things without replacement and where the order
matters.
A combination is the choice of r things from a set of n things without replacement and where order
doesn't matter.
Formulas of Mensuration:
(1). Triangle:
⇒ Area ₌ √s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
Where, s ₌ a ₊ b ₊ c / 2.
⇒ Perimeter ₌ a ₊ a ₊ b.
⇒ Area ₌ √s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c) or ½ x b x h
where , h ₌ √a ² - (b / 2) ²
a ₌ Equal side
b ₌ Unequal side
⇒ Perimeter ₌ a ₊ a ₊ a ₌ 3a.
⇒ Area ₌ √3/4 a ²
a ₌ Side
h ₌ √3 / 2 a.
⇒ Perimeter ₌ a ₊ b ₊ c
(2). Quadrilateral:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ AB ₊ BC ₊ CD ₊ AD
(3). Trapezium:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ a ₊ b ₊ c ₊ d
(4). Parallelogram:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ a ₊ b ₊ a ₊ b ₌ 2 (a ₊ b).
(5). Rectangle:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ 2 (a ₊ b).
(6). Rhombus:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ 4a
⇒ Area ₌ ½ x d₁ x d₂
d₁ and d₂ ₌ Diagonals.
(7). Square:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ 4a
⇒ Area ₌ a ²
(8). Circle:
⇒ Perimeter ₌ 2ᴫ𝑟
⇒ Area ₌ ᴫ𝑟 ²
⇒ Area ₌ ½ ᴫ𝑟 ²
(10). Cuboid:
⇒ Base (B) ₌ LB
⇒ Volume ₌ L x B x H
(11). Cube:
⇒ Base (B) ₌ a ²
⇒ Volume ₌ a ³
(13). Cylinder:
⇒ Base (B) ₌ ᴫ𝑟 ²
⇒ Volume ₌ ᴫ𝑟 ² h.
(14). Cone:
⇒ Base (B) ₌ ᴫ𝑟 ²
⇒ Volume ₌ ⅓ ᴫ𝑟 ² h.
Sphere:
⇒ Volume ₌ 4/3 ᴫ𝑟 ³
(17). Hemisphere:
⇒ Base (B) ₌ ᴫ𝑟 ²
⇒ Volume ₌ ⅔ ᴫ𝑟 ³
