Addi t ionAddit ion is the mother of al l calculat ions and the mostbasic step which is involved in any calucations. One hasto be very much efficient in doing 'ADDITION' as far asbanking exams numerical ability questions are concerned.I t has i ts relevance in most of the Data Interpretat ionquest ions which are asked in Bank PO and other Govt.Entrance Exams.In order to add mult iple two digit numbers one canmove in fol lowing way explained below.

In this method we change the numbers so that i t endsin zero.56 + 75 + 84 + 93 + 21 + 32 + 69Step 1 : 56 + 75 = 56 + 5 + 70 = 61 +70 = 131Step 2 : 131 + 84 = 131 + 4 + 80 = 135 + 80 = 215Step 3 : 215 + 93 = 215 + 3 + 90 = 218 + 90 = 308Step 4 : 308 + 21 = 308 + 1 + 20 = 329

Step 5 : 329 + 32 = 329 + 2 + 30 = 361Step 6 : 361 + 69 = 361 + 9 + 60 = 430.The above concept can be used to do large calculat ionsalso.Subtract ionWe change the numbers while subtract ion such that i tends in zero.

E.g. 1:67 – 34 = (60 + 7) – (30 + 4)

= 60 – 30 + 7 – 4 = 30 + 3 = 33.E.g. 2:367 – 231 = (300 + 60 + 7) – (200 + 30 + 1)

= (300 – 200) + (60 – 30) + (7 – 1)

= 100 + 30 + 6 = 136.M ult iplicat ionBase methodBase = 100105 107Base = 100, Surplus = 5 and 7

or

The result of the above problem wil l be found in twoparts.

(i) Right par t (after slash) is the product of thesurplus.

Since base = 100 and surplus are 5 and 7, so productwould be 5 7 i .e. 35.

(ii) Left par t (before slash) I t can be either numberplus surplus of the other mult ipl icand. Hence leftpar t would be either (105 + 7) or (107 + 5) = 112(both wil l always be the same) i .e. 112.

Base = 100, Defici t = 92 – 100 = – 8 and 97 – 100 = – 3

Right par t wi l l now be (– 4) 8 i .e. – 32. To take care ofthe negat ive we will bor row 1 from the left par t , whichis equivalent t o bor r owing 100 (because we ar eborrowing from the hundred digits of the answer). Thusthis par t wi l l be 100 – 32 = 68.

Calculating squares of numbers (51 – 80):With base 50 find the surplus or defici t (x)Answer is again in two par ts (25 + x) | x2

1. Calculate the square of 57.Here, 57 = 50 + 7Therefore, (50)2 = (25 + 7)| (7)2 = 3249

2. Calculate the square of 76Here, 76 = 50 + 26Therefore, (76)2 = (25 + 26)| (26)2 = 51 | (6)76 = 51+ 6 | 76 = 5776In the above examples the square of the defici tprovides the last two digits of the number while 25+ carry provides the first two digits of the square.

Calculating squares of numbers (31 – 50):

1. Calculate the square of 43.

Here, 43 = 50 – 7Therefore, (50)2 = (25 – 7)| (7)2 = 1849

2. Calculate the square of 37Here, 37 = 50 – 13

Therefore, (37)2 = (25 – 13)| (13)2 = 12 | (1)69 = 12+ 1 | 69 = 1369In the above examples the square of the defici tprovides the last two digits of the number while 25+ carry provides the first two digits of the square.

Calculating squares of numbers (81 – 100):1. Calculate the square of 86.

Here, 86 = 100 – 14Therefore, (86)2 = (86 – 14)| (14)2 = 72 | (1)96 = 72+ 1 | 96 = 7396

2. Calculate the square of 93Here, 93 = 100 – 7Therefore, (93)2 = (93 – 7) | (7)2 = 86 | 49 = 86 | 76= 8649In the above examples the square of the defici tprovides the last two digits of the number while(number + carry) provides the first two digits ofthe square.

Cubing

When a number is mult ipl ied two t imes with i tself, thenumber obtained is cal led the cube of the number.

Therefore, a a a = a3

E.g. Find the cube of 12.

Cube of 12 = 12 12 12 = 1728

We can find the cube of any number close to a power of10 say 10n

With base = 10n find the surplus or the defici t (x)The answer wi l l be obtained in three par ts :

B +3x | 3 x2 | x3

The r ight two par ts wi l l have n digits.

So either put in leading zeroes or car ry forward theextra digits.

Percentage Calculat ion

Tables can take care of mult ipl icat ions encountered.But , i f one has to develop speed in division, where thereal tediousness l ies, reciprocal percentage equivalentare an absolute must .

The fol l owi ng may hel p you i n memor i zi ng t hereciprocal equivalents.

I f reciprocal of 2 is 50%, that of 4 wi l l be half of 50% i.e.25%. Similar ly, reciprocal of 8 wi l l be half of 25% i.e.12.5% and that of 16 wil l be 6.25%.

Reciprocal of 3 is 33.33%. Thus reciprocal of 6 and 9wil l be 16.66% and 11.11% respect ively.

Recipr ocal of 9 i s 11.11% and r ecipr ocal of 11 i s09.090909%. Reciprocal of 9 is composed of 11’s andreciprocal of 11 is composed of 09’s.

Reciprocal of 20 is 5%. Reciprocal of 21 is 4.76% and of19 is 5.26%. Thus, we can easi ly remember reciprocalsof 19, 20, 21 as 5.26%, 5, 4.76% i.e. 0.26% more andless than 5%.

Page 11: Administrative and Production Offices - Gk Publication€¦ · Administrative and Production Offices Published by: CL Media (P) Ltd. A-45, Mohan Cooperative Industrial Area, Near

SPEED MATHS 1.5

Similar ly, reciprocal of 25 is 4%. Reciprocal of 24 is4.16% and of 26 is 3.84%. Thus, we can easily rememberreciprocals of 24, 25, 26 as 4.15%, 4, 3.85% i.e. 0.15%more and less than 4%.

Reciprocal of 29 is 3.45% (i.e. 345 in order) and reciprocalof 23 is 4.35% (same digits but order is different).

Reciprocal of 22 is half of 09.0909% i.e. 4.545454% i.e.consists of 45’s.

Reciprocal of 18 is half of 11.1111% i.e. 5.55555% i.e.consists of only 5s.

Thus, the work may seem to be a huge task, but i f oneuses a smar t approach, i t is hardly anything.

I f any calculat ion has 9 in the denominator, the decimalpar t wi l l be only 1111… or 2222… or … 3333… or 4444…

or 3636…E.g. 849

wi l l be 9.3333 can be found out in a

ji ffy.

One can also calculate any fract ion of the type ( 1)n

n

(n 30) within a second i f one knows the reciprocal

percentage equivalent . E.g. : 1112

wi l l be nothing but

11

12 i .e. the complement of 0.08333 which is 0.91666.

Similar ly, i f one knows 123

= 0.0435, then 2223

wi l l be

0.9565.

Other Fraction Percentage Equivalents:

Knowing the reciprocal percentage equivalents is justa qual i fying cr i ter ia, to gain a compet i t ive advantageone needs to go beyond. One also needs to remember

tables of 18

(or of 12.5) and 1

12 (or of 8.33).

18

i s 12.5%, 28

i s 25%, 38

i s 37.5%, … 58

is 62.5% … 78

is 87.5%.

Lets say one has to find 37.5% of 128. This will be nothing

but 38

of 128 which is 48. And percentages l ike 37.5%

and 62.5% are used very regular ly.

Also, tables of 1

12 wi l l help one find percentages l ike

83.33%, which is nothing but 56

Comparing rat ios:

Approach 1 : I n a proper fract ion a a xb b x

where x

is posit ive. For an improper fract ion, the inequali tysign changes.

Which is greater 456 508

,788 835

Using thi s just f ind by what magni t ude does t henumerator increase and then proceed as fol lows …

Consider ing 456 508

,788 835

, the numerator increase by 52.

Thus 456 456 52 508

. .788 788 52 840

i e

and thus first fraction will

be lower than second fract ion since in the secondfract ion, the denominator i s even lower t han 840,making i t even higher. This approach does not workalways (what i f t he denominator would have beengreater than 840?)

Approach 2: Find by what per cent age does t henumerator increase and check if denominator increasesby higher or lower percentage.

Which is greater 456 235

,788 390

?

Consider, 456 235

,788 390

. I n second r at i o we see t he

numerator is just marginal ly higher than hal f thenumerator of fi rst rat io. Half of the denominator is394.

Thus, denominator of second fract ion is lower than halfthe denominator of fi r st rat io. Thus, obviously thesecond rat io has to be higher as the numerator is morethan half and at same t ime denominator is less thanhalf.

Approach 3: I n this we knowingly add an er ror andthen compare.

?

I f we consider t he denominator s as 400 and 2000respect ively, we have increased the denominator of thefirst and decreased the denominator of second. Withthese changes, the rat ios come down to 0.5875 and 0.556.The first rat io wi l l be higher than 0.5875 and secondrat io wi l l be lower than 0.556.

Thus, 235 1112390 2089

. Using this approach you can always

compare two rat ios provided the approximat ion ofdenominators or for that mat ter of numerators is inopposite direct ions.

We have used different approaches to elucidate thedifferent methods. You can use any method.

Don’t t ry to waste t ime deciding which approach is mostsuitable. Use whichever approach st r ikes first . Mostimportant ly, whi le comparing rat ios, don’t immediatelystar t calculat ing. First get an approximate idea (event o t he t une of 5%) and you wi l l see t hat t h i sapproximat ion i tself can give you the answer !

SOLVED EXAM PLESExample 1:

Find the value of quest ion mark.

4368 + 2158 – 596 – ? = 3421 +1262

Solut ion:

Solut ion:

Step 1: We wil l Add the two digit numbers atthousands place:

75 + 57(= 132) + 33 (= 165) + 87(= 252) +47(= 299) thousands

Step 2: Add the numbers at hundreds:

4 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 8 = 28 hundereds

Step 3: Add the last two digits of the numbers

36 + 26(= 62) + 53(= 115) + 35(= 150) + 39(=189)

Thus, the cor rect answer would be 299000+ 2800 + 189 =301989.
