About The Book
This book is for those students who want to learn maths formulae
or we can say for those learners who prepare for competitive
exams like Banking ,Railway ,SSC ,LIC ,GIC , Vyapametc,
I have written this book because, I experienced that during
examination time, either it is competitive Exam or Academic
Exam, Students quit from the Arithmetic Aptitude or Math’s
questions. Mostly it happens because students forget the formulae.
To help and motivate students, I covered maximum formulae like
Train’s Formulae, Time & Work Formulae, Profit & loss
Formulae, Average Formulae, Permutation & combination
Formulae, HCF & LCF Formulae , Square Root & Cube Root
Formulae, Alligation or Mixture Formulae , Stock & Share’s
Formulae, Time & distance Formulae, Simple Interest Formulae,
Partnership Formulae, Calendar Formulae, Area’s Formulae,
Algebra Formulae, Decimal Fraction Formulae, Surds & Indices
Formulae, Pipes & Cistern Formulae, Probability Formulae,
Compound Interest Formulae, Percentage Formulae, Clock
Formulae, Boats & Stream’s Formulae, Logarithm, Problems on
Ages, Height & Distance, Simplification, Ratio and Proportion,
True Discount ,Discount, Polygon Properties, Volume & Surface
Area ,Circle Formulae, Perimeter Formulae, Roman Number,
Square Root & Cube Roots.
I have facilitated some examples on some formulas which will
help learners to understand and implement while solving sums. I
hope the content of this book will surely help the learners. This
book is only for reference.
Recommendation:- Please read this book once before attempting
any exam containing Arithmetic Aptitude.

Numbers
Important Facts and Formulae
1.Numbers:In Hindu –Arabic System, we use ten symbols,
namely 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 . We call them digits.
A number is denoted by a group of digits, called numeral.
Some numerals are given below in a place-value chart.
Ten
Crores Crores

We write these numbers in words as :
I) Five lac thirty-six thousand seven hundred forty-nine.
II) Sixteen lac eighty thousand three hundred four.
III) Six crore five lac fourteen thousand eighty-nine.
IV) Twenty-four croresixteen lac eight thousand three.
2. FACE VALUE OF A DIGIT IN A NUMERAL.
The face value of a digit in a numeral is the value of the digit itself,
wherever it may be in the place value chart.
In the numeral 536749, the face value of 7 is 7, the face value of 6
is 6 the face value of 5 is 5 and so on.
3. PLACE VALUE OR LOCAL VALUE OF A DIGIT IN A
NUMERAL
In the numeral 536749, we have
Place value of 9 = (9x1) = 9;
Place value of 4 = (4x10)=40;

Place value of 6 = (6x1000)=6000;
Place value of 3 = (3x10000) = 30000;
Place value of 5 = (5x100000)=500000;
4.TYPES OF NUMBERS
Natural Numbers:-Counting numbers are called natural numbers.
Thus 1,2,3,4,5,6……………………….. etc. are all natural
numbers.
Whole Numbers:- All counting numbers together with zero form
the set of whole numbers.
Note:
i. 0 is a whole number which is not a natural numbers.
ii. Every natural numbers is a whole numbers.
Thus 0,1,2,3,4,5,6……………………………………………
… … ……… ………. Are whole numbers.
Integers:-All counting numbers, 0 and negative of counting
numbers are called integers.
a. Positive Integers: ( 1,2, 3,4,5………………………..) is the
set of positive integers.
b. Negative Integers: (-1,-2,-3,-4,-5…………………………..) is
the set of negative integers.
c. Non-Negative Integers: 0 is neither positive nor negative,
a. .‘. {O,1,2,3,4,5………} is set of non-negative integers.
d. Non-Positive Integers:
a. {0,-1,-2,-3,-4,…….} is set of non-positive integers.
Even Numbers:- A numbers divisible by 2 is called an even
number. Thus 0,2,4,6,8,10,………etc. are all even numbers.
Odd Numbers:- A number not divisible by 2 is called an odd
number . Thus 1,3,5,7,9,………..etc. are odd numbers..

Prime Numbers:- A number greater than 1 having exactly two
factors, namely 1 and itself is called a prime number.
Prime Numbers Upto 100 are:
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73
,79,83,89,97.
To Test Whether a given number p is prime: Let p be a
given number .find a whole number k >√p.
Take all prime numbers less than or equal to k.
If no one of these divides p exactly, we say that p is prime
.otherwise, P is not prime.
Composite Numbers:- Numbers greater than 1 which are not
prime , are called composite numbers e.g. 4,6,8,9,10,12 etc .
Note :-
i) 1 is neither prime number nor composite.
ii) 2 is the only even which is prime.
Co-Primes:- Two natural numbers a and b are said to be co-prime
if there HCF is 1 e.g. (2,3), (4,5), (7,9) (8,11) etc. are pairs of co-
primes.
Tests of Divisibility
i. Divisibility by 2 :- A number is divisible by 2 , if its unit digit is
any of 0,2,4,6,8.
Ex. 64892 is divisible by 2, While 64895 is not divisible by 2.
ii. Divisibility by 3 :- A number is divisible by 3 , Only when the
sum of its digit is divisible by 3.
Example.
(a) Consider the number 587421. Sum of its digit is 27, which
is divisible by 3, So 587421 is divisible by 3.
(b) Consider the number 689453. Sum of its digit is 35, which
is not divisible by 3, So 689453 is divisible by 3.

Problem on Train’s Formulae
1. km/hr to m/s conversion:
a km/hr =
a x 5
m/s. 18
2. m/s to km/hr conversion:
a m/s =
a x 18
km/hr. 5
3. Formulas for finding Speed, Time and Distance
4. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a pole or
standing man or a signal post is equal to the time taken by the
train to cover l metres.
5. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a stationery
object of length bmetres is the time taken by the train to cover
(l + b) metres.
6. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in the
same direction at um/s and v m/s, where u > v, then their
relative speed is = (u - v) m/s.
7. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in
opposite directions at um/s and v m/s, then their relative speed
is = (u + v) m/s.
8. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in
opposite directions atu m/s and v m/s, then:
The time taken by the trains to cross each other = (a + b)
sec. (u + v)
9. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in the
same direction atu m/s and v m/s, then:
The time taken by the faster train to cross the slower
train =
(a + b) sec.
(u - v)
10. If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A
and B towards each other and after crossing they
take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then:
(A's speed) : (B's speed) = (b : a)

Example 1:-A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole
in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Solution:-
Speed= ( 60 x 5
)m/sec = ( 50
)m/sec. 18 3
Length of the train = (Speed x Time).
Length of the train =
m = 150 m
Example 2:-A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr
in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds.
The speed of the train is:
Solution:-
Speed of the train relative to man =
125
m/sec 10
=
25
m/sec. 2
=
25 x
18
km/hr 2 5
= 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5)
km/hr.
x - 5 = 45 x = 50 km/hr.
Example 3:-The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres
long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is:
Solution:-
Speed =
45 x 5
m/sec =
25
m/sec. 18 2
Time = 30 sec.
Let the length of bridge be x metres.

Then, 130 + x
= 25
30 2
2(130 + x) = 750
x = 245 m.
Example 4:-Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man
standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds
respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of
their speeds is:
Solution: -Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec
respectively.
Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
and length of the second train = 17y metres.
27x + 17y = 23
x+ y
27x + 17y = 23x + 23y
4x = 6y
x =
3 .
y 2
Example 5:-A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a
man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the
train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
Solution :-
Speed =
54 x 5
m/sec = 15 m/sec. 18
Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.
Let the length of the platform be x metres.
Then, x + 300
= 15 36
x + 300 = 540
x = 240 m.

Time & Work Formulae
Work from Days:If A can do a piece of work in n days, then
A's 1 day's work =
1 .
n
1. Days from Work:
If A's 1 day's work = 1 , Then A can finish the work in n days.
n
2. Ratio:
If A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:
Ratio of work done by A and B = 3 : 1.
Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1 : 3.
Example 1:-A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If
they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work
that is left is :
Solution:-
A's 1 day's work = 1
; 15
B's 1 day's work = 1
; 20
(A + B)'s 1 day's work =
1 +
1
= 7
. 15 20 60
(A + B)'s 4 day's work =
7 x 4
= 7
. 60 15
Therefore, Remaining work =
1 - 7
= 8
. 15 15
Example 2:-A can lay railway track between two given stations
in 16 days and B can do the same job in 12 days. With help of
C, they did the job in 4 days only. Then, C alone can do the job
in:
Sample Copy. Not For Distribution.
SumitShrivastava
10 | P a g e
Solution:-
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1
, 4
A's 1 day's work = 1
, 16
B's 1 day's work = 1
. 12
C's 1 day's work = 1
-
1 +
1
=
1 -
7
= 5
. 4 16 12 4 48 48
So, C alone can do the work in 48
= 9 3
Days. 5 5
Example 3:-A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60
days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is
assisted by B and C on every third day?
Solution;-
A's 2 day's work =
1 x 2
= 1
. 20 10
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =
1 +
1 +
1
= 6
= 1
. 20 30 60 60 10
Work done in 3 days =
1 +
1
= 1 .
10 10 5
Now, 1
Work is done in 3 days. 5
Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
Example 4:- A is thrice as good as workman as B and therefore
is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working together,
they can do it in:
Solution: -Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3.
The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A
takes 1 day.
