(Start calculation always from right side : Calculate 5X7 =35, Write 5 in first column and carry 3, Now do
calculation of (4x7)+(6x5) =58 . Now add carrying digit 3 to it that will give 58+3=61, write 1 in middle in
answer column and carry 6. Now 4x6 =24. Add carrying digit 6 , this will give 24+6=30. Write 30 in left column.

Start your calculation from

(
right side always. Only write unit digit and carry rest digits. In multiplication of 385x234,
multiply 5x4=20, write 0 in right end of column and carry 2. Now do calculation as 8x4+5x3
(multiply and add in mind) = 47 . add carrying digit 2 to it which will give 49, write 9 in 2nd right

column and carry 4. Now do calculation 3x4 + 5x2+8x3 = 46 and add carrying digit 4 to it.
Which will give 50, write 0 in third column 3 and carry 5. Now do calculation 3x3+8x2= 25. Add
carrying digit 5 to it, which will give 30. Write 0 in 4th column, and carry 3. No do calculation 3x2
+ 3 =9.)
Q.3) 56% of 874 = ?

= 489.44 ans.

64.3% of 849 = ?
4.5 x 3.7 x 5.6 = ?

Answers:
1) 56088

; 2) 218040; 3) 394.20 ; 4) 545.907; 5) 93.24

EXplanation of Q.5)First 4.5 x 3.7 = 16.65 ( do it by 2 digit x 2 digit General Trick)

Now 16.65 x 5.6

If problems of 4 digits x 2 digits come, then see the first two digit. If it is
less then 20 or it you know the table of it ( suppose it is 18, 25, 30, 10,
20, etc. in all such cases, you know the table) . In present case first two
digit is 16 , so do calculation as follows:

16
6
5
0
5
6
--------------------Now apply Trick FT-9.
16x0 16x5+6x0
16x6+5x0+6x5

6x6+5x5

5x6

93240 in answer, put decimal (.) after 3 last digit.

Now answer will be 93.240. after applying decimal rule.
Decimal Rule: Ex. 6.4x 1.2 = 7.68
(12x4= 48 write 8 carry 4. Now 12x6=72 . add 4 to 72 and get 76. Put decimal
after two digits because in question after one digit decimal come in 6.4 and
also in 1.2 after one digit decimal come. )
