Maths tricks


Maths Tricks for Comp. Exams



The sum of the first n natural numbers

n (n+1)/2


sum of squares of n natural numbers



The sum of the cubes of the first n natural numbers



The sum of the first n odd natural numbers


(2n-1) = n2

sum of first n even numbers


 n(n+1) 


example:


The sum of first n natural numbers = n (n+1)/2

Eg The sum of 1+2+3+……..+10+11+12 = ??

Here n = 12 so     Sum   = 12 ( 12+1 ) / 2
                             = 12 * 13 /2 = 6 * 13 = 78


The sum of squares of first n natural numbers is   n (n+1)(2n+1)/6

Eg the sum of 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + ………. +122 =??

                   = 12 (12+1) (2*12 + 1) /6
                   = 12*13*25 /6 = 650



The sum of first n even numbers= n (n+1)

Eg The sum of 2+4+6+8+10+…………. +40 = ??
          Here n ≠40. N is the no of terms. So number of terms here is 20, the value of 20th term is 40 indeed. So with n = 20

                   Sum = 20 (20+1) =20*21 =420



The sum of first n odd numbers= n2

Eg The sum of 1+3+5+7+9+11+…………..+21

Here n≠21. Here number of terms are 11 so n=11.
                   Sum = 112 = 121

 

Trick 1:

Q- If Rakesh paid 15% of his salray against loan and spend 30% of his remaining salary in house hold expenses. if he save Rs. 2380, what is his total income.
A-   100*100*2380
      (100-15)(100-30)

    = 4000

Trick-                   100 * 100 * save money              
          ( 100-first expense) (100-second expense)

Trick 2:


Q- If in  exam 45% student fail in Maths, 30% student in English and 20% in both exam. What percantge of   students pass in both subject ?
Ans:- In this question 45% student fail in maths and 30% student fail in English and 20% student in both exam. It means total 20% of student fail in both Math and english. So what you have to do you just subtract 20% from both maths and english fail students. which comes like this.
45-20=25 (it means 25% student only fail in maths)
30-20=10 (it means 10% student only fail in english)
and total percentage of student fail in both exam are 20%
from this we now say like this
total percentage of student fail are 25+10+20=55%
Therefore, total student pass in both subject are 100-55=45% .
Trick- 100-(Maths fail + English fail - both subject fail student )


have fun .......waiting for comment
