Guys we had a good discussion on Man Hour Work and Time speed Distance. Lets move to the new chapter Permutations and Combinations.

I think it ‘ll be a good idea to solve the questions on these chapters together.  So start posting questions on these two chapters.

Thanks!!!

A vessel contains ‘x’ liters of liquid X.

Properties of Median

The median is a segment that starts at one of the 3 vertices of the triangle and ends at the midpoint of the opposing base.

In the below figure the three medians are Ma=AP, Mb=BQ and Mc=CR.

Different ways of calculating reminder

Depisha's picture

After going through all the reminder chapters/notes on this site I made few points on calculating reminder. Here I am trying to put all those points together so that while approaching the reminder questions we can follow a certain pattern.

Question: what is the reminder when M is divided by N.

1. First Check if N is prime if so then use Fermat’s Little theorem.

Fermat's little Theorem

praveen_84's picture

If p is a prime then for any integer a we have

ap = a modulo p.

i.e.  If p is a prime and n is an integer then np–n is divisible by p.

Modulus (Absolute value) of an integer

i4iim's picture

Absolute value (or modulus) of an integer is the numerical value regardless of its sign.

Absolute value of an integer x is written as bars on either side of the expression i. e |x| and is defined as

             |X| = X if x ≥ 0

Factors and their properties

This is my first attempt in writing a note. Please give me your valuable comments and suggestion; of course correct me wherever I am wrong. This is my own writing and all the examples are original one.

"Factors" are the numbers you multiply to get another number.

Example: The factors of 20 are

The idea behind

srikant's picture

The concept of E Class Room is to create a group of individuals who communicate via this site on topics related to CAT in a systematic way. The idea of E Class Room originated from the forum discussion “Journey to CAT 2008”.
The following guidelines are intended to help members participate here without much difficulty.
 
1.  Participants are asked to keep their posts on topics related to e class room topics. Please use the forum/blog for writing other articles/discussions.

lets start with number system

Depisha's picture

If you guys have not seen then just have a glance @ math e book on the site http://www.cat4mba.com/math_e_book
 
Let’s follow a similar pattern because the topics as given in preference are same as BRM (of IMS) and CL also follows the same in classroom. . I have the study material of both the coaching centers and have also purchased sinha and sharma. So let’s start from Number System as it contains all the basics and one of the most important chapters for CAT.
