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...

Quant Short Tricks on Multiplication

1.   Multiplication using multiples Assume that we should find out the result of 12 x 15.  12 x 15    ( Here we can write this 15 as 5 x 3) =  12 x 5 x 3 (now  12 x 5 becomes 60) =  60 x 3 ( For this you just calculate 3 x 6, that is 18 and add one Zero to it. that is 180) =  180 2.   Multiplication by distribution   Assume that we should find out the result of 12 x 17 12 x 17   ( Here we can divide this 17 as 10+7. Here, multiplying 12 with 17 is same as multiplying 12 with 10 and 7 separately and then adding the results) so, we can write it as = (12 x 10) + (12 x 7)  = 120 + 84 = 204  3.   Multiplication by "giving and taking" 12 x 47   ( Here its little difficult for us to calculate the multiplication of 12 and 47 mentally. so just check for the ROUNDED number nearer to 47. Yes it is 50. so..... = 12 x (50 - 3)...

Important Tricks and Quiz on Profit and Loss

COST PRICE :  The price at which an article is purchased is called its cost price (C.P.) SELLING PRICE  : The price at which the article is sold is called its selling price (S.P.) 1. If the cost price (C.P.) of the article is equal to the selling price (S.P.), then there is no loss or gain. 2. If the selling price (S.P.) > cost price (C.P.), then the seller is said to have a profit or gain, Gain/Profit = S.P. - C.P. 3. If the cost price (C.P.) > selling price (S.P.), then the seller is said to have a loss, Loss = C.P. - S.P. 4.  Gain% = {(Gain*100)/C.P.} 5. Loss% ={(Loss*100)/C.P.} 6. S.P. = {(100+Gain%)/100 * C.P.} 7. S.P. = {(100 - Loss%)/100 * C.P.} 8. C.P. = {(100/(100+Gain%) * S.P.} 9.C.P. = {(100/(100 - Loss%) * S.P.} 10. If an article is sold at a profit/gain of 30%, then S.P. = 130% of the C.P. 11. If an article is sold at a loss of 20%, then S.P. = 80% of the C.P. 12. When a person sells two similar items, one...
