 VEDIC MATHEMATICS

The term ‘Vedic’ came from a Sanskrit word ‘Veda’, that means
‘Knowledge’. And, Vedic Math is a super collection of sutras to solve math
problems in a faster & easy way.

Tricks:
Square of Numbers ending with 5

(I)First part of the answer is the product of the digits in the number and its next
number.

(II)The second part of the number is always 25

Square root:

 Split the given last two digit

 Find the square root of unit digit
 Find the nearest least perfect square number of first part
 Multiple the first digit with next consecutive number
 Compare the multiple number and square number
 If the multiplied value is smaller than first two digits, then take biggest
value (or) else take smallest value

Example :

Find the square root of 4489?

44 |89 [Split the given number into two]
Last two digit 89
The end digit is 9. So it will be (3 or 7)
To find first digit
44
The nearest least perfect square number of 44 is = 36 = 62
So the first digit is 6
To find second digit (3 or 7)
Multiple the first digit with next consecutive number (i.e.) 6 ×7= 42
Compare the multiple number and square number (42 &44)
44 is greater than 42,
So the second digit is 7
Hence, the √4489 = 67

Classification of Numbers:-

1. Natural Numbers: All countable Numbers are known as natural Numbers.

N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….}
2. Whole Numbers: All Countable Numbers including 0 are called as whole
Numbers.
W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….}
3. Integers: All countable Numbers and their negative values including zero
Z = {…, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ….}
4. Positive integers : The set I = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….}
5. Negative integers : The set I = {-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, ….}
0 (zero) is neither positive nor negative
6. Non – Positive : {0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, ….}
7. Non – Negative : {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….}

 SIMPLIFICATION

BODMAS
In this lesson, we will learn about the BODMAS rule which helps to solve
arithmetic expressions, containing many operations, like, addition (+), subtraction
(-), multiplication (×), division (÷), and brackets ( ).BODMAS rule is an acronym
that is used to remember the order of operations to be followed while solving
expressions in mathematics. It stands for B - Brackets, O - Order of poweRs or
roots, D - Division, M - Multiplication A - Addition, and S – Subtraction.
Example :
789×789×789+211×211×211
1. Simply
789×789−789×211+211×211
Soln:

789 = a , 211 = b

a3 +b3 (a+b)(a2 −ab+b2 )

=
a2 −ab+b2 a2 −ab+b2

a+b = (789 + 211)

= 1000

2. 10009 ÷ 1024

Soln:

[(10)3 ]9 (10)27
(10)24
= (10)24
= (10)27−24
= (10) 3
= 1000

Laws of Surds and indices :

Surds are the values in square root that cannot be further simplified into whole
NUMBERS ( W ) or integeRs( Z ). Eg : √3 , √2

13
Laws of indices provide us with rules for simplifying calculations or expressions
involving poweRs of the same base. This means that the larger number or letter
must be the same. E.g: 25×23=28

 AVERAGE

Averages can be defined as the central value in a set of data. Average can
be calculated simply by dividing the sum of all values in a set by the total number
of values. In other words, an average value represents the middle value of a data
set. The data set can be of anything like age, money, runs, etc.

Average = [ Sum of observations in a set / Number of observations ]

Example:

What is the average of the first five consecutive odd Number?

Solution:

The first five consecutive odd Number are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

Here, the number of data or observations is 5 and the sum of these 5 Number is
25.

So, average = 25 / 5 = 5.

 RATO AND PROPORTION

RATIO

Ratio is defined as comparison or simplified form of two quantities of the same

kind is referred to as a ratio. This relation gives us how many times one quantity is
equal to the other quantity. In simple words, the ratio is the number that can be
used to express one quantity as a fraction of the other ones.

The two NUMBERS in a ratio can only be compared when they have the same
unit. We make use of ratios to compare two things. The sign used to denote a
ratio is ‘:’.

PROPORTION

Proportion is an equation that defines that the two given ratios are equivalent to
each other. In other words, the proportion states the equality of the two fractions
or the ratios. In proportion, if two sets of given Numbers are increasing or
decreasing in the same ratio, then the ratios are said to be directly proportional to
each other. Ratio and proportions are said to be faces of the same coin. When two
ratios are equal in value, then they are said to be in proportion. In simple words, it
compares two ratios. Proportions are denoted by the symbol ‘::’ or ‘=’.

Ratio Formula

Assume that, we have two quantities (or two Numbers or two entities) and we
have to find the ratio of these two, then the formula for ratio is defined as;

a: b ⇒ a/b

where a and b could be any two quantities.

Here, “a” is called the first term or antecedent, and “b” is called the second term
or consequent.

Example: In ratio 4:9, is represented by 4/9, where 4 is antecedent and 9 is

consequent.

29
If we multiply and divide each term of ratio by the same number (non-zero), it
doesn’t affect the ratio.

Example: 4:9 = 8:18 = 12:27

Proportion Formula

Now, let us assume that, in proportion, the two ratios are a:b & c:d. The two
terms ‘b’ and ‘c’ are called ‘means or mean term,’ whereas the terms ‘a’ and
‘d’ are known as ‘extremes or extreme terms.’

a/b = c/d or a : b :: c : d

 PERCENTAGE

The term percent comes from the Latin phrase 'per centum' which means
per hundred or for every hundred. It is a fraction whose denominator is 100 and
numerator is percent, e.g. 40% or 40/100. In mathematics, percent is denoted by
the symbol '%'.

Convert a fraction into a percent:

To convert a fraction into percent multiply it by 100, e.g.

Convert a percent into a fraction:

Divide the number by 100 and drop the percent symbol, e.g. 60%

Formulas and Quick Tricks for Percentage Problems

a % of b = a * b/100

If A is x% more than B, then B is less than A by: [x(100) / 100+x]%

If A is x% less than B, then B is more than A by: [x(100) / 100-x]%
If A is x% of C and B is y% of C, then A = x/y * B

 If the price of a commodity decreases by P %, then the increase in

consumption so that the expenditure remains same, which is: [P(100) / 100-
P]%
 If the price of a commodity increases by P%, then the reduction in
consumption so that the expenditure remains same, which is: [P(100) /
100+P]%
 If a number is changed (increased/decreased) successively by x% and y%,
then net% change is given by [x+y+(xy/100)]%, which represents increase
or decrease in value according as the sign is positive or negative
 If two parameters A and B are multiplied to get a product and if A is
changed by x% and another parameter B is changed by y%, then the net%
change in the product (A * B) is given [x+y+(xy/100)]%

  In an examination, the minimum pass percentage is x%. If a student secures
y marks and fails by z marks, then the maximum marks in the examination
is 100(y+z)/x
 If a number A is increased successively by x% followed by y% and then by
z%, then the final value of A will be: A(100+x / 100) (100+y / 100) (100+z

 PROFIT AND LOSS

Profit and loss are the terms used to identify whether a deal is profitable or
not. We use these terms very often in our daily lives. If the selling price is greater
than the cost price, then the difference between the selling price and cost price is
called profit. If the selling price is less than the cost price, then the difference
between the cost price and the selling price is called loss. The price at which a
product is purchased is called its cost price. The price at which a product is sold is
called its selling price.

IMPORTANT FACTS

Cost Price:

The price, at which an article is purchased, is called its cost price, abbreviated
as C.P.

Selling Price:

The price, at which an article is sold, is called its selling prices, abbreviated
as S.P.

Profit or Gain:

If S.P. is greater than C.P., the seller is said to have a profit or gain.

Loss:

If S.P. is less than C.P., the seller is said to have incurred a loss.

IMPORTANT FORMULAE

Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.)

Loss = (C.P.) - (S.P.)

Loss or gain is always reckoned on C.P.

Gain Percentage: (Gain %)

(100 - Loss %)

If an article is sold at a gain of say 35%, then S.P. = 135% of C.P.

If an article is sold at a loss of say, 35% then S.P. = 65% of C.P.

When a peRson sells two similar items, one at a gain of say x%, and the other at a
loss of x%, then the seller always incuRs a loss given by:

Common Loss and Gain % 2 x 2

 MIXTURE AND ALLIGATION

Alligation is the rule that enables us to find the ratio in which two or more
ingredients at the given price must be mixed to produce a mixture of the desired
price. The cost price of a unit quantity of such a mixture is called its Mean Price.
Remember the rule that cost price of costlier ingredient > cost price of mixture >
cost price of cheaper ingredient.

Mixtures and Alligations Tricks

Here is a modified form of finding the weighted average. Say for examples, 2
ingredients are mixed in a ratio and the cost price of the unit quantity of the
mixture (mean price) is given, then

Suppose a container contains x of liquid from which y units are taken out and
replaced by water.

 PARTNERSHIP

Partnership:

When two or more than two peRsons run a business jointly, they are called
partneRs and the deal is known as partneRship.
 Working partner: A partner who is actively involved in the business and
manages the business is known as an active partner.
 Sleeping partner: A partner who invests money but does not involve or
look after the business is known as a sleeping partner.
 Simple partneRship: It refeRs to a partneRship in which each partner
invests capital for the same period.
 Compound partneRship: It refeRs to a partneRship in which the partneRs
invest capital for different periods.

If two partneRs invest capital C1 and C2 for the periods T1 and T2, respectively,
the ratio of their profits is given by:

C1*T1: C2*T2

Similarly, if three partneRs A, B, and C invest Rs. C1, Rs. C2 and Rs. C3 for
different periods T1, T2, and T3 respectively then the ratio of their profits is given
by:
C1*T1: C2*T2: C3*T3

If three partneRs invest capital in the ratio C1: C2: C3 and earn a profit in the ratio
P1:P2: P3, the ratio of the time for which they have invested capital is given by:

T1:T2:T3 = P1/C1 ∗P2/C2 ∗ P3/C3
