Divisibility Rule

2 - An even number or a number with an even last digit, such as 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

3 - The number should be divisible by 3 when the sum of all its digits is considered.

4 - The result of the number's last two digits must be either 00 or a multiple of 4.

5 - Numbers with the digits 0 or 5 in the ones place.

6 - A number that can be divided by both 2 and 3

7 - Multiple of 7 is obtained by deducting twice the number's last digit from the other digits.

8 - The sum of a number's last three digits must be divisible by 8 or equal to 000.

9 - The number should be divisible by 9 when the sum of all its digits is considered.

10 - Any number with the digit 0 in the ones position.

11 - A number is divisible by 11 when the sums of its alternative digits differ from each other.

12 - A number that can be divided by 3 and 4.

Profit Loss: Formulas

Cost Price = Selling Price ( No profit No loss)
Gain Percentage = (Gain × 100)/(C.P.)
Loss Percentage = (Loss × 100)/(C.P.)
Profit, P = SP – CP; SP>CP
Loss, L = CP – SP; CP>SP
P% = (P/CP) x 100
L% = (L/CP) x 100
SP = {(100 + P%)/100} x CP
SP = {(100 – L%)/100} x CP
CP = {100/(100 + P%)} x SP
CP = {100/(100 – L%)} x SP
Discount = MP – SP
SP = MP -Discount
For false weight, profit percentage will be P% = [(True weight – false weight)/ false weight] x 100.
When there are two successful profits, say m% and n%, then the net percentage profit equals to [m+n+(mn/100)]
When the profit is m%, and loss is n%, then the net % profit or loss will be: [m-n-(mn/100)]
If a product is sold at m% profit and then again sold at n% profit then the actual cost price of the product will be: CP = [100 x 100 x P/(100+m)(100+n)]. In case of loss, CP = [100 x 100 x L/(100-m)(100-n)]
If P% and L% are equal then, P = L and %loss = P2/100

Arithmetic Progression

There are a few key terms we'll encounter in AP that are defined as:

First term (a)
Common difference (d)
nth Term (an)
Sum of the first n terms (Sn)

All three terms stand for the arithmetic progression property.

First Term of AP

The AP can also be written in terms of common differences, as follows;

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, ………. ,a + (n – 1) d

where “a” is the first term of the progression.

Common Difference in Arithmetic Progression

In this progression, for a given series, the terms used are the first term, the common difference and nth term. Suppose, a1, a2, a3, ……………., an is an AP, then; the common difference “ d ” can be obtained as;

d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = ……. = an – an – 1

Where “d” is a common difference. It can be positive, negative or zero.

Consider an AP to be: a1, a2, a3, ……………., an
