Aptitude and Basic Formulas
1. Percentages:
- Percentage = (Value / Total Value) x 100
- Increase/Decrease = (Change / Original) x 100
2. Profit and Loss:
- Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
- Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
- Profit% = (Profit / Cost Price) x 100
- Loss% = (Loss / Cost Price) x 100
3. Simple Interest:
- SI = (P x R x T) / 100
(P = Principal, R = Rate, T = Time in years)
4. Compound Interest:
- CI = P x [(1 + R/100)^T - 1]
5. Time, Speed, and Distance:
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Distance = Speed x Time
- Time = Distance / Speed
6. Average:
- Average = (Sum of Quantities) / Number of Quantities
7. Ratio and Proportion:
- Ratio = a : b = a/b
- Proportion: a/b = c/d
8. Work and Time:
- Work = Rate x Time
- If A can do a work in x days, then A's 1 day work = 1/x
9. Area Formulas:
- Square = side²
- Rectangle = length x breadth
- Triangle = (1/2) x base x height
- Circle = pi x r²
10. Volume Formulas:
- Cube = side³
- Cuboid = l x b x h
- Cylinder = pi x r² x h
- Sphere = (4/3) x pi x r³
11. Algebra Basics:
- (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
- (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
- a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
12. Number Series:
- Identify patterns such as arithmetic or geometric progression
13. HCF and LCM:
- HCF: Highest common factor
- LCM: Least common multiple
- Product of two numbers = HCF x LCM
