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 )

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

HCF and LCM

HCF and LCM FACTORS / DIVISORS = Numbers that divide any number completely, without leaving any Remainder are its factors. Example : Factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.                    Factors of 90 are 1, ,2, 3, 5 , 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 MULTIPLES =   Numbers that fall in tables of any given number are its Multiples. Examples  : Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96……                       Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 …..

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 ...

CLOCKS (ANGLE)

ANGLES A clock is composed of 360 ° with 12 equal divisions. (i.e. 60 Minutes) The angle between any two consecutive divisions = (360°)/12= 30° or 1 Min = 6 °A Angular value of a minute = (30°)/5= 6° Speed of the hands Each needle of a clock covers the angle of 30 °  to go from one division to the next, but it takes different times to cover this distance. Speed of a second hand = 360° per minute.  Speed of a minute hand = 6° per minute. Speed of an hour hand =1/2 ° per minute.  Example : Q 1. How much degree is covered by minute and hour hand between 02 :00 p.m. to 04 : 00 ? 120 ° and 180 ° 60 ° and 120 ° 120 ° and 60°  60 ° and 720 ° Sol : Between 02: 00 to 04 : 00 = 120 minutes. Distance covered by Hour hand =   120 * ½ = 60 °  Minute hand = 120 * 6 ° = 720 ° = 2 rounds of the clock Q 2.  How much degree is covered by  hour hand between 12 noon to 03 : 45 p.m. ? 112.5 ° 150 ° 90 ° None of these Sol :  Between 12: 00 to 03 : 45 = 3 hours...
