After investing some time in the preparation, it's not uncommon to realize that it would be better if we make our own notes which we can refer while revising these topics before the exam. In order to make this procedure simple, I have come up with this post. 1) Ratios and proportions: If a certain amount N is divided among A, B in a ratio a:b then A's share is a/(a+b) * N and B's share is b/(a+b) *N If A:B = a:b and B:C = c:d then A:C = a*c : b*d If A:B = p:q, B:C = r:s, C:D = t:u then A:D = A/D = (A/B) * (B/C) * (C/D)    If a quantity is increased by a/b then the new content becomes (a+b)/b If a quantity is decreased by a/b then the new content becomes (b-a)/b To reduce your computations, it is always recommended to remember these values in terms of percentages 1/1 = 100 % 1/2 = 50 % 1/3 = 33.33 %   1/4 = 25 % 1/5 = 20 % 1/6 = 16.66 % 1/7 = 14.28 %       1/13 = 7.6% 1/8 = 12.25 %       1/12 = 8.33% 1/9 = 11.11 %       1/11 = 9.09% 1/10 = 10 % Prop

Logarithm quantative aptitude question and answers

Logarithms have a wide range of applications in solving problems which are based not only on logarithms but also on the problems like finding the bigger number of 2^51 and 5^30. Logarithms also have many other applications which when used gives an immense sense of its usage. Logarithms What is a Logarithm? A Logarithm is a quantity which represents the rise of it in terms of another number (base) How it was derived, is there any formula to get logarithmic values? Yes, there is a series called logarithmic series which will generate value of the logarithms The main terms which one should be more familiar with before solving logarithmic problems are Exponent: Power of a number. Base: The number to reduce another number when log is applied. Some Basic Logarithmic formula: log ab = log a + log b log a/b = log a - log b log(a^b) = b*log(a) log a b = 1/log b a log b n = log e n/log e b log 10 n = log e n/log e 10 = log e n *(0.43429448..) Tool to find logarithm value o

Problems on trains aptitude tricks

Voila, you are here! Problems on trains in aptitude problems are not just to test your ability to solve the problems on trains and their properties but you can logically resolve many theories using this concept and this is one of the important part while learning aptitude. Conversions: A Kilometer/Hour = A(5//18) meter/second. A meter/second = A(18/5) Kilometer/Hour. Foundation: Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a fixed point or pole is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l' units. Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a  stationery object of length 'm' units units is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l+m' units. Suppose 2 trains are moving in the same direction with speeds U , V where U > V then their relative speed is U - V .

Recurring decimal tricks

Here are few tricks for Recurring decimals........... Recurrence can be defined as reoccurrence of same thing. to solve recurring decimals problems,we need to follow few basics. Trick 1:(0.ab....) Let N be a number with 'n' digits in it , and M be another 'n' digit number which has all 9's then  N/M produces a number 0.NNNNNNNNN.................... e.x: 12/99=0.1212........ e.x:1234/99999=0.12341234.......... e.x: 8567/9999=0.85678567........ Trick 2:(0.abbb...........)  0.abbbbbbbb.........  is equivalent to (ab-a)/90

Calendar problems solving tips without any formula

If you keenly observe the calendar, if today is Wednesday same date of the next year will be Thursday (if there is no Feb 29 in between) and Friday(if Feb 29 comes) but what if someone asks you to find the day of a given random date? I have found many people asking calendar problems formula. there is no need for any formula as you can do it all by yourself with calendar problem aptitude tricks.  So here is a simple procedure with which you can simply find the day of a given date. Before learning the complete procedure, let me introduce a few basic terms required to solve these type of problems. Calendars are prepared based on the earth's orbit around the sun and it is designed it in a way that every orbit is equivalent to 1 year. with some fraction of the day left out for a year and this fraction is adjusted with the help of leap days. Most of the people think that every 4th year is a leap year but this is not true if one considers every 4th year as a lea
