Number System (IDENTITIES)

IDENTITIES

  1. Basic Formulas :

  • (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2 ab

  • (a - b)² = a² + b² - 2 ab

  • (a + b)² + (a - b)² = 2 ( a² + b² )

  • (a + b)² - (a - b)² = 4 ab

  • a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)

  • (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2 ( ab + bc + ca)

  • (a + b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab (a + b) = a³ + b³ + 3a²b + 3ab²

  • (a - b)³ = a³ - b³ - 3ab (a - b) = a³ - b³ - 3a²b + 3ab²

  • a³ + b³ = ( a + b ) ( a² + b² - ab )

  • a³ - b³ = ( a - b ) ( a² + b² + ab )

  • (a³ + b³+ c³ - 3 abc)  = (a + b+ c) (a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca)

In the above identity ;

CASE 1 :  if (a + b+ c) = 0 

(a³ + b³+ c³ - 3 abc)  = 0

Hence, a³ + b³+ c³ = 3abc

CASE 2 : (a³ + b³+ c³ - 3 abc)  = ½ { 2(a + b+ c) (a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca)} 

Or,  (a³ + b³+ c³ - 3 abc) = ½ {(a + b+ c) (2a² + 2b² + 2c² - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca)

Or,  (a³ + b³+ c³ - 3 abc) = ½ {(a + b+ c) ( a - b )² ( b - c )² ( c - a )² }

  1. Division Algorithm : 

When a number is divisible by another number then;

                  DIVIDEND = ( DIVISOR * QUOTIENT) + REMAINDER

  1. Important Facts : 

  • If a number N is divisible by  two co-prime numbers a and b then N is divisible by A*B.

  • ( a - b ) always divides ( aⁿ - bⁿ ) if n is a NATURAL number.

  • ( a + b ) always divides ( aⁿ - bⁿ ) if n is an EVEN number.

  • ( a + b ) always divides ( aⁿ + bⁿ ) if n is an ODD number.

  1. Series :

  • ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ………….n) = ½ {n (n+1 )}

  • ( 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + ………….n²) = ⅙ { n ( n + 1) ( 2n + 1)}

  • ( 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + ………….n³) =  [½ {n (n+1 )}]²

  • (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ................... ) = n² ( n = no. of terms)

  • ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ....................) = n (n + 1 )

  1. 9944

  2. 9768

  3. 9988

  4. 8888

Sol : Divisibility of 88 = A number is divisible by 88 if it is divisible by 8 and 11 both.

Q 7.  If the number 517#324 is completely  divisible by 3,  then the smallest whole number in the place of * is : 

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. 2

  4. None of these

Sol : Sum of the digit should be divisible by 3 = 5 + 1 + 7 + # + 3 + 2 + 4 = 22 + #

# should be replaced with 2 , so as to make the sum divisible by 3.

Q 8. If the product 4864 x 9P2 is divisible by 12, then the value of P is :

  1. 2

  2. 5

  3. 6

  4. None of these

Sol : Divisibility of 12 = Number should be divisible by 3 & 4 both.

 4864 is divisible by 4

Hence 9P2 should be divisible by 3 = 9 + P + 2 = 11 + P 

Here P should be replaced with 1 

Q 9. What smallest number should be added to 4456 so that the sum is completely divisible by 6?

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. 2

  4. 1

Sol : Divisibility of 6 = Number should be divisible by 2 & 3 both.

4456 is divisible by 2

Divisibility of 3 :  4 + 4 + 5 + 6  =19

19 + 2 = 21 ; Divisible by 2

Q 10.  476#$0 is divisible by both 3 and 11. The no - digits in the hundred’s and ten’s places are respectively :

  1. 7 and 4

  2. 7 and 5

  3. 8 and 5

  4. None of these

Sol : Divisibility of 3 : 4 + 7 + 6 + # + $ + 0 = (17 + # + $) must be divisible by 3

Divisibility of 11 : ( 7 + # + 0 ) - (4 + 6 + $ )  = ( 7 + # ) - (10 + $ ) = (# - $ - 3) must be divisible by 11

On solving we get, # = 8 and $ = 5

Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)

A single digit is obtained by adding all the digits of a number is called Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)   Ex :  12 → 1 + 2 → 3 24 → 2 + 4 → 6 21 → 2 + 1  → 3 9876 → 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 → 30 → 3 + 0 → 3 3452 → 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 → 14 → 1 + 4 → 5 Or,  On Dividing the digits by 9, the obtained Remainder is Digital Sum Balance.  Ex :    12    ━━ = 3                9      24 ━━━ = 6      9    3452 ━━━━ =  5      9 KEY HIGHLIGHTS : The range of D.S. always falls from 0 to 9. When we add 9 to a number, its Digital Sum will not change therefore in order to calculate Digital Sum we need to cancel out  all the 9’s.  9 + 1 → 10 → 1 9 + 2 → 11 → 2 9 + 3 → 12 → 3 9 + 4 → 13 → 4 9 + 5 → 14 → 5 9 + 6 → 15 → 6 9 + 7 → 16 → 7 9 + 8 → 17 → 8 9 + 9 → 18 → 9 Example : 123 45 → 6 → Digital Sum ...

Number System (No. of Zeros)

  How to Find Number of Trailing     Zeros in a Factorial or Product Under the topic of Number of Zeros , it is expected to find out the number of trailing zeros at the end of the number. In simple words, it can be said that to calculate the No. of Zeros at the  right side of the number. To make the things more clear, let us take a simple example to understand the concept of Number of Zeros Example : 1234057000 → No. of Trailing zeros →  3                  1050500000 → No. of Trailing zeros → 5                  1.5 x 10⁵ → No. of Trailing zeros → 4 Such Zeros that are represented at the end of the numbers are actually the Trailing Zeros. Now the next thing arises about the formation of Zeros in the Numbers. So, the fundamental regarding the formation of a Zero is the presence of a Pair of ...
