NUMBERS:
Tests of Divisibility :
1. A number is divisible by 2 if it is an even number.
2. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
3. A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
4. A number is divisible by 5 if the units digit is either 5 or 0.
5. A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3.
6. A number is divisible by 7 if you double the last digit and subtract from the rest of the
number and the answer is divisible by 7.
Example : 231 is divisible by 7 because 1* 2 = 2 ; 23-2 = 21 is divisible by 7.
7. A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.
8. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
9. A number is divisible by 10 if the units digit is 0.
10. A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the
sum of its digits at even places, is divisible by 11.
11. A number is divisible by 12 if the number is divisible by both 3 and 4.
PERCENTAGES :
1. If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by R / (100+R) * 100
2. If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by R / (100-R) * 100
3. If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption, not to
increase the expenditure is : R/(100+R)*100
4. If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption, not to
decrease the expenditure is : R/(100-R)*100
2. A man sold two articles for Rs. X each. On one he gains y% while on the other he loses
y%. How much does he gain or lose in the whole transaction?
In such a question, there is always a lose. The selling price is immaterial.
Formula for loss %
3. A discount dealer professes to sell his goods at cost price but uses a weight of 960 gms.
For a kg weight. Find his gain percent.
Formula: Gain % =
LOGORITHMS :
If am = x , then m = logax.
Properties :
1. log xx = 1
2. log x1 = 0
3. log a(xy) = log ax + log ay
4. log a(x/y) = log ax - log ay
5. log ax = 1/log xa
6. log a(xp) = p(log ax)
7. log ax = log bx/log ba
Note : Logarithms for base 1 does not exist.
