Rule (Competitive Exams): Direct Proportion (TimeWork ↑)


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§° āĻ—āϤāĻŋ āϤāϞ⧰ āϕ⧋āύāĻŸā§‹ā§° āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ ?)


Options / āĻŦāĻŋāĻ•āĻ˛ā§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 / āωāĻ¤ā§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!+⋯+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!+⋯+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 9​


Rule: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder , Ans: 9


==============================================


6. Q. Find the remainder when 35¹¹³ is divided by 9 ?


Sol


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 68⁸⁸ ÷ 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.​




Given: 


Ignore the common value and replace: a = 2 , b = 3, c = 5


Now, 


Ans: 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/÷ 7−5/2  7 5 + 1 + 1/2 ​+ 5/2​ = 79


Since


          79 = 72x+3,


equate the exponents : āϏ⧂āϚāĻ• (āϘāĻžāϤ) āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ āϧ⧰āĻžāĨ¤


2x + 3 = 9

Options: (A) ₹1,79,000 (B) ₹1,80,000 (C) ₹2,52,000 (D) ₹1,81,000


Trick | āĻ•ā§ŒāĻļāϞ


Since both save the same amount (₹72,000), use this trick:



  • Income Ratio (āφāϝāĻŧā§° āĻ…āύ⧁āĻĒāĻžāϤ) = 5 : 8

  • Expenditure Ratio (āĻŦā§āϝāϝāĻŧā§° āĻ…āύ⧁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 = ₹72,000


So,


1 part = 72,000 / 2 = ₹36,000


Kiran's income: 5 × 36,000 = ₹1,80,000


Ans / āωāĻ¤ā§āϤ⧰: (B) ₹1,80,000
