Short Tricks Of Mathematical Problem Solving:

Question 1 : Find The Multiplication Of two Numbers?

108 × 104 = ?

Answer 1 : Short Tricks For The Above Multiplication:

108 × 104 = 11232 (Answer)

How???????????

108 and 104 are two numbers which is close to 100.

100
+8/ \+4

108 104

Explanation :

108 is 8 more than 100 and 104 is 4 more than 100 therefore:

108 + 4 = 112

8 × 4 = 32

108 × 104 = 11232 (Answer)

Question 2 : Find The Square Of A Number?

112^2 = ?

Answer 2 : Short Tricks For Finding The square of the number:

112^2 can be written As: 112 × 112

112 × 112 = 12544 (Answer)

How????????????

The Number 112 is close to 100 so….

100
+12/ \+12

112 112

Explanation :

112 is 12 more than 100 therefore:

Step 1: Add the number 112 and 12.

Step 2: calculate the product of 12 and 12 and write the query above number.

Step 3: Add The Query and this is your Final Answer.

112 + 12 = 124

12 × 12 = 44 and 1(query) i.e. 144

112 × 112 = 12544

112^2 = 12544 (Answer)

Note: Query Will Be Added to 124 so it will become 125.

Question 3 : Find The Product Of Three digit numbers?

999 × 992 = ?

Answer 3: Short Tricks To Finding Above Multiplication:

999 × 992 = 991008

How??????????????

999 and 992 are close to 1000 so….

1000
-1/ \-8

999 992

Explanation:

999 is 1 less than 1000 and 992 is 8 less than 992 therefore:

999 – 8 = 991.

-1 × -8 = 8.

Note:

Becaue the above no’s are close to 1000 therefore 8 can be written as 008.

999 × 992 = 991008 (Answer)

Important Formulas of Number System-

Formulas of Number Series

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + n = n(n + 1)/2
(1² + 2² + 3² + ….. + n²) = n ( n + 1 ) (2n + 1) / 6
(1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ….. + n³) = (n(n + 1)/ 2)²
Sum of first n odd numbers = n²
Sum of first n even numbers = n (n + 1)

Mathematical Formulas

(a + b)(a – b) = (a² – b²)
(a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab)
(a – b)² = (a² + b² – 2ab)
(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)
(a³ – b³) = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)
(a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ac)
When a + b + c = 0, then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc
(a + b)ⁿ = aⁿ + (ⁿC₁)a^n-1b + (ⁿC₂)a^n-2b² + … + (ⁿC_n-1)ab^n-1 + bⁿ

Shortcuts for number divisibility check

Two numbers are said to be co-primes if their H.C.F. is 1. To find if a number, say y is divisible by x, find m and n such that m * n = x and m and n are co-prime numbers. If y is divisible by both m and n then it is divisible by x.

Shortcuts for ‘recurring decimal to fraction’ conversion

For recurring decimals of format ‘0.abababab…’ (ab repeats), equivalent fraction will be “repeating group (here ab)”/”as many 9’s as the number of digits in repeating group”
For recurring decimals of format ‘0.abbbbb…’ (b repeats), equivalent fraction will be (entire decimal group – non-repeating decimal group)/(as many 9’s as the number of repeating digits in the decimal part with as many 0’s as the number of non-repeating digits in the decimal part)

If you are given a complex calculation to do, just think for a second, there has to be a better way to do it. Because complex calculations are not tested in an aptitude test, your smartness is. Below is an example for more clarity.

Question: 381² + 597² = ?
Options: A. 456284, B. 658598, C. 765454, D. 501570

Now, to arrive at your answer, you can either manually calculate the squares or you can think in a smarter way.

Square of 381 will definitely have the last digit of 1.

(11)²; is 121, (21)² is 441, (31)² is 961, and so on. So, 381² would be something like this xxxxx1. Similarly, (597)² would be something like this, xxxxx9. Without calculating the full number, we just focus on the unit digit.

7² is 49, and the last digit is 9, so 597² has to end with 9.

Now that you have 2 numbers, xxxxx1 and xxxxx9, just add them like an old-fashioned addition question.

xxxxx1
xxxxx9
______
xxxxx0

This way, you know the answer will end with 0, and now look at the options, your answer is D. Quantitative aptitude questions are a cakewalk if you’re equipped with skills like these. Get yourself a mathematics home tuition to develop your skills while you still have time.

If you want to calculate 10% of something, you would cut the zero at the end, or put a decimal. This much is known by most people and they don’t do (Number x 10/100).

But what to do when you want to calculate 25% of a number? Or 76% of a number? You must be equipped with basic percentage
rules to solve these things quickly.

25% is nothing but 1/4th of a number.
75% would be 3/4th of a number.

Just calculate 3/4th of your given number and you will arrive at 75%. Now, calculate 1% by either cutting 2 zeroes from the end of your number, or by putting a decimal before 2 places at the end. Once you have that 1%, add it to the 75% which you got earlier.

There you go, instead of doing (number x 76/100) and wasting precious time, you are now solving another question.
