120% of 33.33?
40
120% of 33.33 = 33.33% of 120.
a% of b = b% of a
Simple Interest = ?
Amount = ?
SI = nPR / 100
A = P + nPr% = P (1 + nR%) , after n years.
Compound Interest = ?
Amount = ?
Here, n = 1 if compounded anually.
CI = A - P
How to solve ratio questions?
Multiply or divide the ratio by some constant - ‘k’, and then you can assume their specific values.
Addition / Subtraction will change the ratio.
a : b = 1 : 2 and b : c = 5 : 3. Find a : b : c.
Make b equal, by x2 and x5.
a : b : c
5 : 10 : 6

About the work done questions, how to go about it?
If A does a piece of work in 20 days and B does the same work in 30 days, then how many
days will it take to complete the same work if both A and B do the work together ?
work done is proportional to people(m), rate(r) and time(t)
work = (k) * m * r * t
For example,
* take the work to be of 60 units (LCM or any multiple)
* rate of A is 3units/day and B is 2units/day
* Now, working together, they will do it in 5units/day
* So, 60/5 = 12 days.
Solve all questions using this concept.
Average speed = ?
Average speed = total distance / total time
Never use speed, if speed is given then use that to find time or write time in the terms of speed.
But the formula is this ^.
Set Theory (2 sets)
What is “at least 1”?
What is the total?
The region a + b + c is called (A or B) / Either A or B / A union B (A ∪ B) / at least 1.
=> a + b + c
=> A + B - (both ∪ A and B)
(where A & B are the actual numbers) and (a & b & c are the areas in the venn)
Total = none + at least 1 = n + A + B - ( both A and B )
Total = n + A + B - ( both A and B )
In a survey of 200 people, 80 people read Magazine M and 96 people read magazine
R. If the number of people surveyed who do not read either magazine is 3 times the number who read both magazines, how many of the people surveyed read both the magazines?
Total = None + M + R - Both M and R
200 = 3*Both + 80 + 96 - Both
2 Both = 24
Both = 12
Matrix method (Only for 2-Set)
(used in certain types of questions but very useful)
by example -
50% of the apartments in a certain building have windows and hardwood floors . 25%
of the apartments without windows have hardwood floors. If 40% of the apartments do not have hardwood floors , what percent of the apartments with windows have hardwood floors ?
Fill in the blanks as per the information provided.
Set Theory (3 sets)
What is “at least 1” ?
What is “exactly 2” ?
What is total?
Total = none + at least 1 = n + (a + b + c + d + e + f + g)
At least 1 / (A or B or C) = (a + b + c + d + e + f + g)
=> A + B + C - (AandB) - (BandC) - (CandA) + (AandBandC)
Exactly 2 = (AandB) + (BandC) + (CandA) - (AandBandC)
Each of the 59 members in a high school class is required to sign up for a minimum of
one and a maximum of three academic clubs. The three clubs to choose from are the poetry
club, the history club, and the writing club. A total of 22 students signed up for the poetry club, 27 students for the history club, and 28 students for the writing club. If 6 students sign up for exactly two clubs, how many students sign up for all three clubs ?

make sure to use the formula and also relate from the diagram, then you can derive a lot of formulas.
If population increase by X% per annum, then after n year it will be?
Same for decrease too?
if increases,
P = p * [1 + (X/100)]^n
if decreases,
P = p * [1 - (X/100)]^n
What is
1.08 ka square?
1.07 ka square?
1.1664
1.1449
Easy method ->
(a + b) ^ 2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
for 1.08
1 / 16 / 64
So, answer is 1.1664
If a population increases by a factor of x, every t hours, what will be the value after T hours?
Like ->, initally 5, factor = 2, every 3 hours, in 15 hours?
Number of jumps (j) = Total time / time to multiply
Final = Initial * (factor)^j
J = 15/3 = 5
F = 5 * (2) ^5
How to solve work related questions?
Take the LCM of time taken by all the given persons to finish the job alone, then you will be able to solve the problem without fractions.
But fundamentally,
If A alone takes X hours and B alone takes Y hours to do a piece of work, and if T is the total time taken when they work together, then we have: 1/X + 1/Y = 1/T or T = XY/(X + Y)
So, If A and B can do a piece of work in X & Y days respectively while working alone, they will together take XY / (X + Y) days to complete it.
How to solve overlapping sets which consists of 2 sets, questions like -> male/female along with they are students/non-students?
Go with the matrix method, make the matrix for each of them and then put in the value.
Average Speed Formula for two equal distances with different speeds:
2xy / (x + y)
where x is the first speed, and y is the second speed.
Mean of combined series, what is the combined formula?
M = M1xN1 + M2xN2 / N1 + N2
Sum of first N natural numbers
n ( n + 1) / 2
Sum of squares of first N natural numbers
n(n+1)(2n+1) / 6
The average of an odd number of consecutive integers is?
The average of an even number of consecutive integers is?
odd number -> integer
even number -> non-integer
For consecutive terms / for an AP, what is the relation between mean and median?
Median = Mean = sum of first and last term / 2.
