Rule (Competitive Exams): Direct Proportion (Time ↑ ⇒ Work ↑)
New Work = Old Work × New Time / Old Time
==================================
Trick 1: Ratio Method (Fastest)
More time ⇒ More pages (Direct Proportion)
40 : 60 = 2 : x
x = 2 × 60/40 = 3, Ans = B. 3
Trick 2: Minute Method
40 minutes → 2 pages So, 1 minute → 2/40 = 1/20 page
60 minutes → 60 × 1/20 = 3
Ans = 3

Q. 126 km/hr is equal to which of the following ? (āĻĒā§ā§°āĻļā§āύ: 126 km/hr ā§° āĻāϤāĻŋ āϤāϞ⧰ āĻā§āύāĻā§ā§° āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ ?)
Options / āĻŦāĻŋāĻāϞā§āĻĒāϏāĻŽā§āĻš: A. 35 m/sec B. 32 m/sec C. 30 m/sec D. 37 m/sec
Trick: i. km/hr → m/sec = × 5/18 ii. m/sec → km/hr = × 18/5
km/hr → m/sec (Multiply by 5/18)
126 × 5/18 = 7×5 = 35, Ans / āĻāϤā§āϤ⧰: A. 35 m/sec

Q. What is the remainder when 49 is divided by 9 ? Options: A. 9 B. 0 C. 5 D. 4
Soln: 9×5=45, remainder 49 − 45 = 4, Ans: D. 4
=============================================
2. Q: Remainder of 49 × 65 ÷ 9 = ? Options: A. 8 B. 0 C. 5 D. 4
Soln:
- 49 ÷ 9 , remainder 4, 65 ÷ 9 , remainder 2
- Multiply remainders: 4 × 2 = 8, Since 8 < 9, the remainder is 8.
- Verification : 49 × 65 = 3185 (Now divide by 9) = (9 × 353) + 8
Ans: Remainder = 8
============================================
3. Q. Find reminder (1753×1749×83×171) ÷ 17 Options : A. 8 B. 0 C. 7 D. 17
Soln Simple Trick: Take remainders when divided by 17 = 1753 is 2, 1749 is 15, 83 is 15, 171 is 1
Now multiply 2×15×15×1 = 450
450 ÷ 17 reminder is 8, Ans: A. 8
=========================================
4. Q. “What is the remainder when 1!+2!+3!+4!+5!+â¯+1000 is divided by 8 ?
Soln Simple Trick:
- Factorials 4! and above are divisible by 8 , remainder 0.
- Only add 1! + 2! + 3! = 1 + 2 + 6 = 9
- 9 ÷ 8 = remainder 1
Ans: 1
Note: Why 9÷8 gives remainder 1
- Divide 9 by 8: 9 ÷ 8 = 1 quotient, remainder ?
- 8 * 1 = 8
- 9 − 8 = 1 , this is the remainder
So, 9 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 1
Rule: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder , Here: 9 ÷ 8 , 9 = 8×1 + 1. This is why the remainders is 1
==========================================
5. Q. What is the remainder when 1!+2!+3!+4!+5!+â¯+1000 is divided by 12 ?
Soln
Trick:
- Factorials 4! and above are divisible by 12 , remainder 0.
- Only Add 1! + 2! + 3! = 1 + 2 + 6 = 9
- 9 ÷ 12 , remainder 9â
Rule: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder , Ans: 9
==============================================
6. Q. Find the remainder when 35¹¹³ is divided by 9 ?
Soln
Trick: Formula: i. 35Odd ÷ 9 ⇒ 8 , ii. 35even ÷ 9 ⇒ 1
Ex: i. 3515 ÷ 9 → 8 , ii. 35100 ÷ 9 → 1, 35999 ÷ 9 → 8
Exam Rule: Odd exponent ⇒ 8, Even exponent ⇒ 1.
Example: 35¹¹³ ÷ 9
When dividing by 9:
- 35 → remainder 8
- 8¹ = 8, 8² = 1
- Odd power ⇒ 8, Even power ⇒ 1
113 = Odd , Ans = Remainder = 8
================================================
7. Remainder when 68â¸â¸ ÷ 67 ?
Trick: Whenever the base is one more than the divisor: (Divisor + 1)n ÷ Divisor , Remainder is always 1
Ex: i. 1150÷10 → 1, ii. 2699÷25 → 1, iii. 6888÷ 67 → 1, Ans: 1
8. Finding the remainder when: = 115 + 4= 1+ 4 = 5,
Trick
- 18 = 17 + 1 (So, replace 18 with 1)
- So, 18 → 1 (when dividing by 17)
Now, 115 + 4 = 1+ 4 = 5, Remainder = 5
If a/2 = b/3 = c/5 then find the value of a+b+c / c.â
Given:
Ignore the common value and replace: a = 2 , b = 3, c = 5
Now,
Ans: 2

Q. If 75 × 7 × √7 / 7−5/2 = 72x+3 find the value of x. (āϤā§āύā§āϤ⧠x-ā§° āĻŽāĻžāύ āύāĻŋā§°ā§āĻŖāϝāĻŧ āĻā§°āĻžāĨ¤)
Options: (A) 0.5 (B) 0 (C) 3 (D) 2
Solution | āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ
Use the law of exponents:
- 7=71
- √7 = 71/2
- Dividing by 7−5/2 means adding 5/2 to the exponent.
75 × 71 × 71/2 ÷ 7−5/2 = 7 5 + 1 + 1/2 â+ 5/2â = 79
Since
79 = 72x+3,
equate the exponents : āϏā§āĻāĻ (āĻāĻžāϤ) āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ āϧ⧰āĻžāĨ¤
2x + 3 = 9
2x = 6

Options: (A) âš1,79,000 (B) âš1,80,000 (C) âš2,52,000 (D) âš1,81,000
Trick | āĻā§āĻļāϞ
Since both save the same amount (âš72,000), use this trick:
- Income Ratio (āĻāϝāĻŧā§° āĻ āύā§āĻĒāĻžāϤ) = 5 : 8
- Expenditure Ratio (āĻŦā§āϝāϝāĻŧā§° āĻ āύā§āĻĒāĻžāϤ) = 2 : 4
Multiply the income ratio by 2 (difference of expenditure ratio): 5 × 2 = 10, 8 × 2 = 16
Now subtract the expenditure parts: 10 − 4 = 6, 16 − 8 = 8
Difference: 8 − 6 = 2 parts = âš72,000
So,
1 part = 72,000 / 2 = âš36,000
Kiran's income: 5 × 36,000 = âš1,80,000
Ans / āĻāϤā§āϤ⧰: (B) âš1,80,000
