Class X
Subject Mathematics Formulae

1.Compound Interest ( Imp chapter)
S.I = PTR
100.
Amt = Pri ( 1 + Rat )
Time


100
Note : If you are asked to compute the interest semi-annually ( Half yearly) the above formula is to
be modified, by taking time x 2, and rate 2
If the rates are given differently for the consecutive years, then
For example if the rates are 8 % , 12 % and 15 % respectively, then
Amt = Pri ( 1 + 8 ) ( 1 + 12 ) ( 1 +15 )

100 100 100. Here, you need not mention time as exponent.
Depreciation Certain items value will be diminished as the time passes, then it is known as
depreciation. For example the value of a car, refrigerator, machinery etc. in that case.
Final Value of machine = Actual value ( 1 Rat )
Time


100
In population growth problems, If present population is given and asking for
i) The population n yrs ago, then take Amount as Present population, and find Principal
ii) The population after n yrs, then take Principal as Present population, and find Amount


2.Sales Tax & VAT.

Selling price = Marked price + x % of sales tax.
Selling price = Marked price x % Discount .
Tax % = Tax x 100
MP
Discount % = Discount x 100
MP.
While computing VAT
In step1 : Take manufacturing cost and Calculate VAT on Manufacturing Cost
In step2 : Take Profit 1, and Calculate VAT on Profit 1 only
In step3 : Take Profit 2, and Calculate VAT on Profit 2 only
In step4 : Take Profit 3, and Calculate VAT on Profit 3 only
Add all to get Total VAT
Selling price = Manufacturing cost +Profit 1 +Profit 2 + Profit 3 etc., + Total VAT




3.Banking
Savings Bank account
While taking the entries you have to bear in mind that

While computing the interest always take time as 1/12, irrespective of the total number of months
given. i.e in PTR / 100, take time as 1/12, instead of total no of months.

If entry of a particular month is not given, then you have to take the last entry of the previous month
(Here at times there is chance of making mistake, choose the value from the question.)
I f you are asked to find the amount that will be obtained on closing the account
Then take last entry from the Question + Interest obtained

( But DO NOT take the Total principal )

Recurring Deposits :


4.Shares & Dividends
Dividend = [x % of Face Value] x No of shares
No of shares = Investment .
Market Val of one share
Income of a person may be taken as the Dividend given by the company,
therefore income % = Income x 100
Investment

Trial & Error method.
In step2 : Take the product of Common terms as their HCF.
In step3 : Take the product of All the terms , Omit, the HCF value which gives you the value of LCM.
Product of LCM x HCF = Product of the two polynomials.
Note: If cubical expression is given, it may be factorized by using Trial & Error method.
6.Quadratic Equations.

Note: To find the value of x you may adopt either splitting the middle term or formula method,
unless specified the method.

Here n refers number of sides of a polygon.
( This formula may be used to construct a regular Polygon.)
15.Loci.
The Locus of a line segment is its Perpendicular bisector.
The Locus of an angle is its Angle bisector.
For solving most of the Locus problems, the above two points are good enough. In addition to
these points, You should have the basic knowledge of geometrical constructions. Also look at the
given figure in terms of either line segments or angles

Note: While solving Mensuration problems, take care of the following.
1. If diameter of a circle is given, then find the radius first
(Have you made mistake earlier by taking d as radius and solved the problem ?)
2. Check the units of the entire data. If the units are different, then convert them to the same units.
For Example: Diameter = 14 cm, and Height = 3 m
Therefore Diameter = 14 cm, and Height = 300 cm (Have you ever committed such mistake ?)

CSA of a Cone = r l ( Here l refers to Slant height which may be obtained by
using Pythagoras theorem )
TSA of a Cone = r l + r

. ( In case of Sphere, there is no CSA, TSA separately)


Volume of hemi sphere = r

While solving the combination of solids it would be better if you take common
If a solid is melted and, recast into number of other small solids, then
Volume of the larger solid = No x Volume of the smaller solid
For Ex: A cylinder is melted and cast into smaller spheres. Find the number of spheres
Volume of Cylinder = No x Volume of sphere.

formulae etc.,
Rationalize the denominator [ If a + b, (or) a b format is given in the denominator]
You may separate the denominator For Ex : Sin + Cos as Sin + Cos
Sin Sin Sin
1 + Cot
If you are not able to solve the LHS part completely, Do the problem to such an extent you can solve,
then start working with RHS, and finally you will end up the problem at a step where LHS = RHS
Sin ( 90 ) = Cos : Cos ( 90 ) = Sin .
Sec( 90 ) = Cosec

: Cosec ( 90 ) = Sec
Tan ( 90 ) = Cot : Cot ( 90 ) = Tan

To find the Lower quartile take N/4 [Here N is f] then take the corresponding point on X-axis
To find the Upper quartile take 3N/4, then take the corresponding point on X-axis
To find the Median take N/2, then take the corresponding point on X-axis

To find the Median first of all arrange the data in Ascending or Descending order, then
Median = (N+1)/2 term value of the given data, in case of the data is having odd no of observations.

Median = [(N/2) + (N+1)/2)] / 2 term value of the given data, in case of the data is having
even number of observations.
