Revision Sheet 4

Final revision of important quantitative aptitude formulas, shortcuts, and placement problem types.

Triangle

Angle Sum Property

A+B+C=180A+B+C=180^\circ

Exterior Angle Property

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two opposite interior angles.


Area of a Triangle

Area=12bh\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}bh

where:

  • (b) = base
  • (h) = height

Heron’s Formula

For sides (a), (b), and (c):

Area=s(sa)(sb)(sc)\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

where

s=a+b+c2s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}

is the semi-perimeter.


Equilateral Triangle

Area

34a2\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

Height

Pythagoras Theorem

a2+b2=c2a^2+b^2=c^2

where (c) is the hypotenuse.

3. COORDINATE GEOMETRY

Given points:

(x1,y1)and(x2,y2)(x_1,y_1) \quad\text{and}\quad (x_2,y_2)

Distance Formula

(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Midpoint Formula

(x1+x22,y1+y22)\left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)

Section Formula

For internal division in the ratio (m:n):

(mx2+nx1m+n,my2+ny1m+n)\left( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right)

Rare, but important.


4. SET THEORY & VENN DIAGRAMS

Two Sets

Most important formula:

n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)n(A\cup B) = n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)

Three Sets

n(ABC)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)n(AB)n(BC)n(CA)+n(ABC)n(A\cup B\cup C) = n(A)+n(B)+n(C) -n(A\cap B) -n(B\cap C) -n(C\cap A) +n(A\cap B\cap C)

Universal Set

Everything under consideration.


Complement

A=UAA'=U-A

5. PERMUTATION

Arrangement matters.


Formula

nPr=n!(nr)!{}^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Special Case

If all objects are arranged:

n!n!

Circular Permutation

For distinct objects arranged around a circle:

(n1)!(n-1)!

6. COMBINATION

Selection matters.

Order does not matter.


Formula

nCr=n!r!(nr)!{}^nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Relationship

nPr=nCr×r!{}^nP_r = {}^nC_r\times r!
