Simplification  Simplification mean find the most simplest form of given question with the help of different operations of maths in sequence . 1) Rule : VBODMAS                                                V→ Bar (Virnaculum)                     B→ Bracket                                     [{( )}] O→ Of                                             × D→ Division                                   ÷ M→ Multiplication                         × A→ Addition                                  + S→ Subtraction                               - We must use the following order strictly  1) At first we will solve Bar. 2) We will remove Bracket in order ( ) , { } and [ ] . 3) We will solve Multiplication. 3) We will solve Division . 4) We will solve Multiplication . 5) We will solve Addition . 6) We will solve Subtraction . Example 1) 8 ÷ 2 ( 3 + 1 ) =  8 ÷ 2 ( 4 ) =  8 ÷ 8 =  1  2) 100 + 25 ÷ 5 - 15 of  5 + 3 × 2 =  100 + 25 ÷ 5 - 15 × 5 + 3 × 2 =  100 + 25 ÷ 5 - 75 + 3 × 2 =  100 + 25 ÷ 5 -

Arithmetic Progression  (AP) An arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term. This fixed number is called the common difference (d) of AP, it can be positive and negative First term of an AP is (a) 1) General Form of an AP is     a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d,..... 2) nth Term of an AP     a n  =  a + ( n - 1 ) d Example 1) How many two- digit numbers are divisible by 3 ? Solution : The list of two-digit numbers divisible by 3 is : 12, 15, 18, .........99 . a n  =  a +  ( n - 1 ) d a = 12, d = 3,  a n  = 99 99 = 12 + ( n - 1 ) 3 99 - 12 = ( n - 1 ) 3 87 = n - 1  3 29 = n - 1 29 + 1 = n n = 30 So, there are 30, two-digit numbers divisible by 3. 2) Find the 10th term of the AP : 2, 7, 12,....... Solution : a n  =  a +  ( n - 1 ) d Here a = 2, d = 7 - 2 = 5, and n = 10 a 10  = 2 + ( 10 - 1 ) 5       = 2 + 9 × 5       = 2 + 45       = 47 Therefore, the 10th term of the given AP is 47 . 3) How man
