Must Do: Speed, Distance and Time tricks with Example



Time and Distance
The term times and distance area related to the speed of moving objects 
Speed — We define the speed of an object as the distance covered by it in a unit time interval. 
Speed =(Distance travelled)/(time taken)
⇒  Distance travelled = Speed × time 
⇒ Time =  Distance/Speed 


Unit of measurement 
If distance is measured in kilometer, we measure time in hours and speed is written as km/hr. 

If distance is measured in meter, then time is taken in second and speed written as m/s 

Conversion of unit
1 km/hr = (1000 mtr)/(60×60 seconds)=5/18 m/s
1 m/s =18/5 km/hr

Ex. – A train having length 500 m passes a pole in 30 second. Find the speed of a train (in km/hr) 
⇒Speed=Distance/time=500/30 m/s
=500/30×18/5 km/hr 
= 60 km/hr

Must Do:Last Digit Concepts with Example

Concept: The last digit of any power Last digit of any power follow a cycle pattern and repeat after a certain power at a time. From the above explanation it is clear that after the power of four number of digit will be same. So find out the last digit we divide the power of any number  by 4. Digit (d) d^2 d^3 d^4 d^5 1 1 1 1 1 2 4 8 6 2 3 9 7 1 3 4 6 4 6 4 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 9 3 1 7 8 4 2 6 8 9 1 9 1 9 0 0 0 0 0          v  The last digit of power  of 1  is always 1 v    The last digit of power of 2 repeat in a cycle of 4, 8, 6, 2 v    The digits of powers of 3 repeat in a cycle of 9, 7, 1, 3 v    The last digit of power of 4 repeat in a cycle of 6, 4 v    The last digit of power of 5 & 6 is always same. v    The la...

Must Do: Divisiblity Concepts with Example Questions

Concept – Divisibility of a number Divisibility by 2  — A number is divisible by 2 if the unit digit is zero or divisible by 2. Ex.  – 2, 4, 8, 16, 18 etc. are all divisible by 2. Divisibility by 3  — A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 3.  Ex.  – if 43n25 is divisible by 3 then find the minimum value n Sol.  4+3+n+2+5 is divisible by 3  So n=1,4,7 Minimum value of n=1  Divisibility by 4  — A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4 . Ex.  – 56248 is divisible by 4 since 48 is divisible by 4.  Divisibility by 5  — A number is divisible by 5 if unit’s digit is 0 or 5.  Ex.  – 1225, 13750, 245 etc. are all divisible by 5.  Divisibility by 7  — The unit digit of given number is doubled and then it is subtracted from the number obtained after omitting the unit digit.  If the remainde...
