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...

10 Fast Maths Tricks and Shortcuts

10 Fast Maths Tricks and Shortcuts Today I am going to summarise all the maths tricks that will speed up your calculation speed. I used them in CAT and IBPS exam. I am sure that these tricks will help you increase your score. I have written many articles in detail on these topics. Click on respective links to get details. List of Cool Maths Tricks Squaring In this simple trick, we need to modify the equation and make the units digit zero. After all, it is easy to multiply when units digit is zero. For example - Find square of 43 = (43+3) × (43-3) + (3×3) =(46×40) + 9 = (460×4) + 9 = 1840 + 9 = 1849 Finding Square of Any No. From 1 to 100   Pick Any No. Just like this: Multiplication Vedic maths gave us the easiest method to do complex multiplications quickly. This method can be quickly explained with an example. Multiply 62 with 32 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Multiplication with 5 Simply multiply the number by 10 a...

Tricks and concepts on Profit and Loss - 2

Q.1 Loss on selling on object for Rs. 500 is equal to the profit gained if the object is sold for Rs.900. Find the original C.P. of the object. If we are given two selling prices of which one is showing loss and other giving the profit, find out the difference and divide it in the ratio of loss and profit. Here the ratio was 1 : 1, so we divided 400 in 1 : 1 Q.2 A shopkeeper when sells on object for Rs. 900, then he faces loss which is equal to half of the profit gained if the object is sold for Rs. 1200.  Find cost price. C.P. = 900+100  or  1200 - 200     =Rs 1000 In this question, the ratio of loss and profit was 1 : 2 so, accordingly we divided the difference in the ratio 1 : 2 which gave us 100 and 200. Q.3 A person gained Rs.50 more as profit from the amount he lost if he had sold it for Rs. 600, after selling it for Rs. 760. Find C.P. C.P  = 600 + 55 or   760 -105 =Rs. 655 Profit on 2nd S.P. will be Rs. 50 more than the loss on 1...
