Arithmetic Word Questions For IBPS RRB Exam 2020

Given below are some of the important formulas of the important topics from Arithmetic. Make sure you read them well and then practice them from the PDF given at the end of this article:

Time and Work

• If P can do a piece of work in n days, work done by P in $1$ day $=\frac{1}{n}$
• If B does $\frac{1}{n}$ work in a day, B can finish the work in $n$ days.
• If in the question, ${\text{M}}_1$ men can do $\text{W}1$ work in ${\text{D}}_1$ days working ${\text{H}}_1$ hours per day and ${\text{M}}_2$ men can do ${\text{W}}_2$ work in ${\text{D}}_2$ days working ${\text{H}}_2$ hours per day, then$$\frac{{\text{M}}_1{\text{D}}_1{\text{H}}_1}{\text{W}1}=\frac{{\text{M}}_2{\text{D}}_2{\text{H}}_2}{\text{W}2}$$
• If P takes $p$ days and Q takes days, P and Q together can finish it in $\frac{pq}{p+q}$ days.
• If P is thrice as good as Q in work, then
  • ratio of work done by P and Q $=3:1$
  • ratio of time taken to finish a work by P and Q $=1:3$

Simple Interest & Compund Interest

1. If Principal is P, Rate is R% per annum, Time is n years.
2. If we are asked to Compound the Interest annually 
   

   Amount = P		1 +	R		n
   			100

3. If we are asked to Compound the Interest  Half-yearly:
   

   Amount = P		1 +	(R/2)		2n
   			100

4. If we are asked to Compound the Interest Quarterly:
   

   Amount = P		1 +	(R/4)		4n
   			100

5. If we are asked to Compound the Interest annually but time is in fraction, say 3 years.

   Amount = P		1 +	R		3	x		1 +	R
   			100						100

6. If we are given rates for years, say R₁%, R₂%, R₃% for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd year respectively.
   

   Then, Amount = P

   1 +

   R1

   1 +

   R2

   1 +

   R3

   .

   100

   100

   100

7. Present worth of Rs. x due n years hence is given by:
   

   Present Worth =	x
   	1 + R n 100

Profit & Loss

1. Profit = (S.P.) – (C.P.)
2. Loss = (C.P.) – (S.P.)
3. Loss or Profit is always calculated on C.P.
4. Profit Percentage: (Profit %)
   

   Profit % =		Profit x 100
   		C.P.

5. Loss Percentage: (Loss %)
   

   Loss % =		Loss x 100
   		C.P.

6. Selling Price: (S.P.)
   

   SP =		(100 + Gain %)	x C.P
   		100

7. Selling Price: (S.P.)
   

   SP =		(100 – Loss %)	x C.P.
   		100

8. Cost Price: (C.P.)
   

   C.P. =		100	x S.P.
   		(100 + Gain %)

9. Cost Price: (C.P.)
   

   C.P. =		100	x S.P.
   		(100 – Loss %)

Time, Speed & Distance

1.  Formulas to find Speed, Time and Distance:
   

   Speed =		Distance		,	Time =		Distance		,	Distance = (Speed x Time).
   		Time					Speed

2. Formula to convert km/hr to m/sec:
   

   x km/hr =		x x	5		m/sec.
   			18

3. Formula to convert m/sec to km/hr:
   

   x m/sec =		x x	18		km/hr.
   			5

4. If in the question, the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the

   the times taken by then to cover the same distance is	1	:	1	or b : a.
   	a		b

5. If in the question, it is given that a boy covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,

   the average speed during the whole journey is		2xy		km/hr.
   		x + y

Mixture and Alligation

1. If in the question, two ingredients are mixed, then
   

   		Quantity of cheaper		=		C.P. of dearer – Mean Price
   		Quantity of dearer				Mean price – C.P. of cheaper

   It is represented as:

   C.P. of a unit quantity of cheaperC.P. of a unit quantity of dearer
   (c)	Mean Price (m)	(d)
   (d – m)		(m – c)

    (Cheaper quantity) : (Dearer quantity) = (d – m) : (m – c).

2. If in the question, a container contains x of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by water. we use the given below formula:

   After n operations, the quantity of pure liquid =		x		1 –	y		n		units.
   					x

Given above are some of the important formulas that one must know to ace this section and now that you know them it’s time to practice them with the help of a free PDF given below.
