MATHS SHORTCUT TRICKS FOR EXAM

 MATHS SHORTCUT TRICKS FOR EXAM

 PERCENTAGE CHAPTER MATHS TRICKS


Basically on previous article we provide the profit and loss and work and time tricks now, we are provide percentage chapter of maths that is very useful in all exams and 8-10 no. of question are asked from that chapter. 


With the help of percentage tricks we can apply is to the various form like ratio, profit loss, time and distance, graphs, pie chart etc these are basically are the form of percentage and if you clear the basic concept it will be beneficial in many ways.
so, first what is percentage  

DEFINITION 
percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

if we have to convert percentage into fraction than it is divide by 100.
Example 1 :- if we write 45% then its equal to 45/100 or in fraction 9/20 or in decimal 0.45

if we have to convert fraction into percentage we have to multiple with 100.
Example 2 :- if we write 3/5 in fraction it is equal to 60%
                                    3/5x100=60.

READ AND LEARN FOLLOWING TABLE as also known as conversion table of percentage. Learn this table it help you a lot to solve many problem.

the following fraction in red colour are MOST IMPORTANT.



Fraction
Percentage
1/1
100%
1/2
50%
1/3
33.33%
1/4
25%
1/5
20%
1/6
16.66%
1/7
14.28%
1/8

1/9
11.11%
1/10

1/30
3.33%
1/40
2.5%
1/50
2%
1/60
1.66%
1/75
1.33%
1/80
1.25%
1/90
1.11%
1/100
1%

by this conversion table we can change fraction into percentage and percentage into fraction

EX:- if we have to find 2/5 in %?
In the table we know that 1/5=20%
then, if we multiply both by 2
then we have 1/5x2 = 2x20%
answer is 2/5 = 40%
so, you only to know basic fraction and percentage that given above.

in the inverse
Ex. If we have to find out 1/15 fraction in percentage%?
In the table we have 1/5 = 20%
then both side multiple by 1/3
we get 1/15 = 6.66%

SOME BASIC QUESTION THAT IS ALWAYS ASKED IN THE EXAMS
TYPE 1.
if there is increase of X% and subsequently X% decrease then there is always loss / decrease in the condition.

ex. If rohan salary is increase by 50% and subsequently decrease by 50%. How much percentage loss?

ans. By trick ----  50x50/100= 25% decrease/loss

TYPE 2.
if A is P% more than B. then B is less than by A
 with P/(100+P)x100

ex. If radha earning is 25% more than sita. Then sita earning is how many percentage less then by radha?
ans. By trick ---- 25/(100+25)x100=20%  

TYPE 3.
If A is P% less than B. then B is more than by A
 with P/(100-P)x100

ex. If golu age is 20% less than gita than gita age is how many percentage more than golu?
ans. By trick ---- 20/(100-20)x100=25%

TYPE 4.
if there is p% increase in price . how much % decrease his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not change.
formula P/(100+P)x100

ex. If petrol price increase by 25%. How much percentage a person reduced his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 25/(100+25)x100=20%

TYPE 5.
if there is p% decrease in price . how much % increase his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not change.
formula P/(100-P)x100

ex. If there is 30% decrease in eggs price. How much a person increased his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 30/(100-30)x100=42.85

TYPE 6.
Ex. If suman need 36% minimum mark to passed a exam but she score 24% mark and fail by 9 marks. What is the total mark?
ans. Difference in % = difference in mark
In that 36%-24%=12%
that is 12%=9marks
so, total mark = 9/12x100= 75
Cube roots tricks, math shortcut tricks, find cube from 1 to 99 of given number

In banking and many other exam there is many question related to cube roots. In exam specially banking 2-3 question are related to cube roots. 


In banking hard digit like 373248, 941192, 91125 etc are given and we have to find the cube of that number This is time consuming chapter in mathematics. We are providing shortcut tricks to find cube roots of a given number.

First we need to learn this following table carefully

if you learn this table its helpful in finding cube of a given number.

SQUARE ROOTS TRICKS FOR FAST CALCULATION

square is the important chapter in maths. 2-3 question are always based on this topics in every exams. While in banking 8 – 10 question are based on this square chapter or on the bases of square 
we provide tricks how to calculate SQUARE fast within seconds
if you practice, practice and practice I think you will be able to solve square to 30 to 130 within few seconds and you can save time is exams.

In this article we are solving

MATHS    SHORTCUT    TRICKS --  WORK AND TIME


This time  we are  going to  solve work and time chapter with shortcut tricks.
now, we are going to  solve  work and time problem with short cut tricks. If you learn this tricks you can solve these   question in seconds. 
WORK AND TIME SHORTCUT TRICKS, MATH SHORTCUT TRICKS

Profit And Loss Short Tricks

These type of question are time consuming but we have to manage our time in the examination hall.
Type 1:- The ratio of the cost price and the selling price is 4:5. The profit percent is?
                a.        10         b.        20           c.         25         d.        30        Ans:- 25
 profit is always calculated on cost price
so,  c.p=4 , s.p=5                        Profit=s.p-c.p,  5-4=1
  profit %=  profit/cost price * 100, then, 1/4*100= 25

Type 2:- If on selling 12 notebooks a seller makes a profit equal to selling price of 4 notebook, what is his profits percentage?
                        a.        16.2/3        b.        25        c.         50        d.        None of these       Ans:-50
 if there is profit on selling item = selling price of an article
        To find profit %, simply minus 12 from 4= 8
        Profit % = 4/8*100=50

Type 3:- A vender loses the selling price of 4 oranges on selling 36 oranges his loss percentage is?
                               a.        10         b.        11.1/9      c.         12.1/2    d.        None of these    Ans:-10
  if there is loss on selling item = selling price of an article
            to find loss%, simply add 36 to 4 = 40
                   Loss % = 4/40*100 = 40

Type 4:- Some article were brought of 6 for rs. 5. And sold  at 5 for rs. 6. Gain percentage is/
               a.        30      b.        33.1/3           c.         35        d.        44       Ans:-44
Type 5:- A vender by selling 12 toffee for a rupee. A man loses 20%. How many for a rupee should he sell to get a gain of 20%?                    a.        10         b.        20         c.         8         d.        12       Ans:- 8
            12 toffee for rs 1 loss 20% then
                  c.p = 1*100/80 = 5/4    on this price we have to gain profit of 20%
          So, 5/4* 120/100 = 3/2
         If for Rs. 2/3 we have 12 toffee then for rs 1 we have            = 12x2/3=8
Type 6:- A sell a bicycle of to B at a profit of 20%. B sell it to C at profit of 25%. If C pays rs. 225 for it the cost price of bicycle is?
           a.        110           b.        120          c.         125          d.        150       Ans:- 150
 let cost price be X then,             x.120/100 . 125/100= 225 ,
            by solving, then X equal to 150

Type 7:- A shopkeeper professes to sell his goods at cost price but uses a weight of 800gm instead of 1kg. thus he makes a profit of?
             a.        20%         b.        16.2/3          c.         25          d.        50        Ans :- 25
Type 8 :- A shopkeeper  cheats  to the extents of 10% while buying as well as selling by using  false  weight  his total gain is ?               a.        10%          b.        11%          c.         20%           d.        21%          Ans :-21%

Type 9 :- An article  when  sold at a gain of 5% yields rs. 15 more than when sold at a loss of 5%. Its  cost  price  would be              a.  150                   b.   200                     c.   250            d.    300      Ans:-150
difference between gain % and loss% equal to 10%
            then, 10% = rs. 15,                       100% = rs. 150 , that is your cost price

Type 10:- The price of  an article  has been  reduced by 25%. In order to restore the original price  the reduced price  must be  increased by?
                  a.        25%                     b.        30%              c.         33%                d.        33.1/3%          Ans:-33.1/3%

Type 11:- An article was sold at 16% gain. Had it been sold for rs. 200 more, the gain would have been 20% then the cost price of the article is?
                   a.        5000        b.        4800       c.         4500      d.        5200           Ans :- 5000

difference in gain % equal to 200,          Then  20%-16%=4%
               4%= 200 then,            100%= 5000 that is your cost price of the article
