RRB ALP CBT-2 Aptitude Important Formulas

Percentages
• Percentage = (Value/Total Value) × 100

• If A is x% more than B, then A = B × (100 + x)/100

• If A is x% less than B, then A = B × (100 − x)/100

Profit and Loss


• Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price

• Loss = Cost Price − Selling Price

• Profit % = (Profit/Cost Price) × 100

• Loss % = (Loss/Cost Price) × 100

• Selling Price = Cost Price × (100 + Profit%)/100

• Cost Price = Selling Price × 100/(100 + Profit%)

Simple Interest
• SI = (P × R × T) / 100

• Where P = Principal, R = Rate, T = Time (years)

Compound Interest
• CI = P × [(1 + R/100)^T − 1]

• Amount = P × (1 + R/100)^T

Time and Work


• Work Done = 1/Time Taken

• If A can do a piece of work in x days, then A's 1 day work = 1/x

• If A is x times as good a worker as B, then A will take 1/x of time taken by B

Pipes and Cisterns


• If a pipe fills a tank in x hours, part filled in 1 hour = 1/x

• If a pipe empties a tank in y hours, part emptied in 1 hour = 1/y

• Combined work = (Sum of part filled/emptied in 1 hour)

Time, Speed, and Distance


• Speed = Distance / Time

• Distance = Speed × Time

• Time = Distance / Speed


• Conversions: 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec, 1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr

Boats and Streams


• Speed of Boat in Still Water = (Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed)/2

• Speed of Stream = (Downstream Speed − Upstream Speed)/2

Averages
• Average = Sum of observations / Number of observations

Partnership
• Ratio of profits = (Investment × Time) of partners

• If A and B invest amounts in ratio a:b for times x:y, then profit ratio = (a×x):(b×y)

Ratio and Proportion


• Ratio = a:b ⇒ a/b

• Proportion: a:b = c:d ⇒ a/b = c/d

• Mean Proportion of a and b = √(a×b)

• Third Proportion of a and b = b²/a

Mixture and Alligation


• If two ingredients are mixed in ratio x:y, then (C1 - Mean Price)/(Mean Price - C2) = x/y, where C1 and
C2 are costs of the two ingredients
