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.

Short Notes on Time and Distance

TIPS AND FORMULAS ON TIME AND DISTANCE: 1. Speed =   Distance/Time 2. Time =   Distance /Speed 3. Distance =  Speed x Time 4 . km/hr to m/s conversion: 1 kmph =   5/18 m/s 5.  m/s to km/hr conversion:   1 m/s =   18/5 m/s 6.  If the ratio of speeds of train A and B is a : b, then the ratio of time taken by them to cover the same distance =  b : a. 7.  If a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,the average speed during the whole journey is 2xy/(x + y) km/h 8 . The time taken by a train in passing a pole or standing man is the same as the time taken by the train to cover a distance equal to its own length. 9.  The time taken by a train of length 'L' metres in passing a stationary object of length 'B' metres is equal to the time taken by the train to cover a distance equal to  (L + B) m. 10.  If two trains are moving in the same directions at u m/s and v m...

Study Notes of HCF and LCM and Aptitude Quiz

TIPS FOR SOLVING QUESTIONS RELATED TO HCF and LCM: Prime number :   A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc. are prime numbers. Co-Prime Number:  Two numbers are said to be relatively prime, mutually prime, or co-prime to each other when they have no common factor or the only common positive factor of the two numbers is 1. In other words, two numbers are said to be co-primes if their H.C.F. is 1. Factors:  The numbers are said to be factors of a given number when they exactly divide that number. Thus, factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18. Common Factors:  A common factor of two or more numbers is a number which divides each of them exactly. Thus, each of the numbers - 2, 4 and 8 is a common factor of 8 and 24. Multiple:  When a number is exactly divisible by another number, then the former number is called the multiple of the...

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...
