#### Ratio and Proportion

Ratio and Proportion   Ratio Ratio of two quantities is the comparison of the given quantities. Ratio is widely used for comparison of two quantities in such a way that one quantity is how much increased or decreased by the other quantity.   For example, Peter has 20 litres of milk but John has 5 litres, the comparison of the quantities is said to be, Peter has 15 litres more milk than John, but by division of both the quantity, it is said that Peter has, $\frac{20}{5}\text{ }=\text{ }4$times of milk than John. It can be expressed in the ratio form as 4: 1.   Note: In the ratio$a:\text{ }b\text{ }\left( b~\ne 0 \right)$, the quantities a and b are called the terms of the ratio and the first term (ie. a) is called antecedent and the second term (i.e., b) is called consequent.   Simplest form of a Ratio If the common factor of antecedent and consequent in a ratio is 1 then it is called in its simplest form.   Comparison of Ratio Comparison of the given ratios are compared by first converting them into like fractions, for example to compare 5: 6, 8: 13 and 9: 16 first convert them into the fractional form i.e.$\frac{5}{6},\frac{8}{13},\frac{9}{16}$   The LCM of denominators of the fractions $=2\times 3\times 13\times 8=\text{ }624$   Now, make denominators of every fraction to 624 by multiplying with the same number to both numerator and denominator of each fraction. Hence,$\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{104}{104}=\frac{520}{624},\frac{8}{13}\times \frac{48}{48}=\frac{384}{624}$ and$\frac{9}{16}\times \frac{39}{39}=\frac{351}{624}$. Equivalent Tractions of the given fractions are,$\frac{520}{624},\frac{384}{624},\frac{351}{624}$We know that the greater fraction has greater numerator, therefore the ascending order of the fractions are, $\frac{351}{624}<\frac{384}{624}<\frac{520}{624}$ or $\frac{9}{16}<\frac{8}{13}<\frac{5}{6}$ or 9 : 6 < 8 : 13 < 5 : 6 thus, the smallest ratio among the given ratio is 9 : 16 and greatest ratio is 5 : 6.   Equivalent Ratio The equivalent ratio of a given ratio is obtained by multiplying or dividing the antecedent and consequent of the ratio by the same number. The equivalent ratio of $a\,\,\times \,\,b$is $a\,\,\times \text{ q }:\text{ }b\text{ }\times \text{ }q$whereas, a, b, q are natural numbers and q is greater than 1, Hence, the equivalent ratios of 5 : 8 are,
•              Example:
Mapped distance between two points on a map is 9 cm. Find the ratio of actual as well as mapped distance if 1 cm = 100 m. (a) 10000 : 1                                                      (b) 375 : 1       (c) 23 : 56                                                          (d) 200 : 1 (e) None of these Answer (a) Explanation: Required ratio $=\text{ }900\text{ }\times \text{ }100:\text{ }9\text{ }=\text{ }90000:\text{ }9\text{ }=-\text{ }10000:\text{ }1$

#### Algebraic Expressions

Algebraic Expressions   In an algebraic expression constant and variables are linked with arithmetic operations. The value of unknown variable is obtained by simplification of the given expression.   TERMS OF AN ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION Literals or Variables Alphabetical symbols used in algebraic expressions are called variables or literals. a, b, c, d, m, n, x, y, z ........... etc. are some common letters which are used for variables.   Constant Terms The symbol which itself indicate a permanent value is called constant. All numbers are constant. $6,\text{ }10,\,\,\frac{10}{11},\text{ }15,\text{ }-6,\text{ }\sqrt{3}\text{ }....$ etc. are constants because, their values are fixed.   Variable Terms A term which contains various numerical values is called variable term. For example, Product of 4 and $X\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }\times \text{ }X\text{ }=\text{ }4X$ Product of $2,\text{ }X,\text{ }{{Y}^{2}}$and $Z\text{ }=\text{ }2\text{ }\times \text{ }X\text{ }\times \text{ }{{Y}^{2}}\times \text{ }Z\text{ }=\text{ }2X{{Y}^{2}}Z$ Thus, 4X and $2X{{Y}^{2}}Z$ are variable terms   Types of Terms There are two types of terms, like and unlike. Terms are classified by similarity of their variables.   Like and unlike Terms. The terms having same variables are called like terms and the terms having different variables are called unlike terms. For example,$6x,x,,-2x,\frac{4}{9}x,$, are like terms and$6x,2{{y}^{2}},-9{{x}^{2}}yz,4xy,$, 4xy, are unlike terms.   Coefficient A number or a symbol multiplied with a variable in an algebraic expression is called its coefficient. In $-\text{ }6{{m}^{2}}$np, coefficient of$n{{m}^{2}}$p is -6 because ${{m}^{2}}$np is multiplied with -6 to form $-\text{ }6{{m}^{2}}$np. The variable part of the term is called its variable or literal coefficient. In$-\frac{5}{4}$ abc, variable coefficients are a, b and c. The constant part of the term is called constant coefficient. In term$-\frac{5}{4}$, abc, constant coefficient is$-\frac{5}{4}$.
•         Example:
Sign of resulting addition of two like terms depends on which one of the following? (a) Sign of biggest term                (b) Sign of smallest term (c) Sign of positive term            (d) Sign of negative term (e) None of these Answer (a)   Operations on Algebraic Expressions When constant and variables are linked with any of the following fundamental arithmetic operations i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then the solution of the expression is obtained by simplification of the expression.   Addition and Subtraction of Terms The addition of two unlike terms is not possible and their addition is obtained in the same form. Addition of 2x + 3x is 5x but the addition of 2x + 3y is 2x + 3y. Subtraction of two like terms is same as the subtraction of whole numbers. For example, 4x - 2x = 2x
•        Example:
Simplify: $\left( \mathbf{2}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{+}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}} \right)\mathbf{ - }\left( \mathbf{5}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{+11}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}} \right)$ (a) $15{{x}^{3}}$                                                                   (b) $15{{x}^{2}}$          (c) $-3{{x}^{2}}$                                                                    (d) $13{{x}^{2}}$ (e) None more...

#### Geometry and Symmetry

Geometry and Symmetry   Basic Geometrical Shapes Lines and angles are the main geometrical concept and every geometrical figure is made up of lines and angles. Triangles are also constructed by using lines and angles.   Point A geometrical figure which indicates position but not the dimension is called a point. A point does not have length, breadth and height. A point is a fine dot. P is a point on a plane of paper as shown below.   Line A set of points which can be extended infinitely in both directions is called a line.   Line Segment A line of fix length is called a line segment. In the above figure RS is a line segment and the length of RS is fixed.   Ray A ray is defined as the line that can be extended infinitely in one direction. In the above figure AB can be extended towards the direction of B. Hence, called a ray.   Note: A line segment has two end points, a ray has only one end point and a line has no end points.   Angle Angle is formed between two rays which have a common point. Vertex or common end point is 0. OA and OB are the arms of AOB The name of the above angle can be given as  AOB or  BOA The unit of measurement of an angle is degree (°)   TYPES OF ANGLES Acute Angle The angle between  is called an acute angle. For example, are acute angles.   Right Angle An angle of measure  is called a right angle.   Obtuse Angle An angle whose measure is between  is called an obtuse angle.   Straight Angle An angle whose measure is  is called a straight angle.   Reflex Angle An angle whose measure is more than  and less than  is called a reflex angle.   Complementary Angle Two angles whose sum is  is called the complimentary angle. Complementary angle of any angle  is more...

#### Mensuration

Mensuration   Perimeter and Area of Plane Figures Perimeter of geometrical figure is the sum of its sides. There are different types of geometrical figures. Figures are classified by their shapes and sizes. Area of a geometrical figure is its total surface area.   Perimeter and Area of a Triangle
•            Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of the length of all sides.
•            Area of a right triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\,\,\,\times \text{ }Base\text{ }\times \text{ }Height$
•            Perimeter of an equilateral triangle $=\text{ }3\text{ }\times \text{ }Side$
•            Area of an equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{\left( Side \right)}^{2}}$
Perimeter and Area of a Parallelogram Parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other. In the given figure ABCD is a Parallelogram in which $AB||\,\,CD,\,\,BC||\,\,\,AD,\text{ }AB\text{ }=\text{ }CD\text{ }and\text{ }AD\text{ }=\text{ }BC$ Perimeter of a Parallelogram = 2(sum of two adjacent sides) Hence, perimeter of a parallelogram ABCD = 2(AB + BC) Area of a Parallelogram $=\text{ }Base\text{ }\times \text{ }Height$ Therefore, the area of a parallelogram $ABCD=AB\times CE$   Perimeter and Area of a Rectangle A rectangle has four right angles and its opposite sides are equal Longer side of a rectangle is called length and shorter side is called width. Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + DA = length + width + length + width $=\text{ }2\left( length\text{ }+\text{ }width \right)$ Hence, perimeter of a rectangle $=\text{ }2\left( length\text{ }+\text{ }width \right)$ Area of a rectangle $=\text{ }length\text{ }\times \text{ }width$ Perimeter and Area of a Rhombus A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Therefore, perimeter of rhombus$=\text{ }4\text{ }\times \text{ }side$. In the figure given below ABCD is a rhombus. Perimeter of a rhombus, $=\text{ }4\text{ }\times \text{ }side$ Area of a rhombus $=\text{ }base\text{ }\times \text{ }height$ Also area of a rhombus =$\frac{1}{2}$ product of length of diagonals.   Perimeter and Area of a Square A square has four equal sides and each angle of$90{}^\circ$. In the picture given below, ABCD is a square because its all sides are equal and each angle is a right angle. Perimeter of square $=\text{ }side\text{ }+\text{ }side\text{ }+\text{ }side\text{ }+\text{ }side\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }\times \text{ }side$ more...

#### Data Handling

Data Handling   In this chapter we will learn about pictograph and bar graph.   Data Data is a collection of facts, such as numbers, observations, words or even description of things.   Observation Each numerical figure in a data is called observation.   Frequency The number of times a particular observation occurs is called its frequency.   Statistical Graph The information provided by a numerical frequency distribution is easy to understand when we represent it in terms of diagrams or graphs. To represent statistical data, we use different types of diagrams or graphs. Some of them are: (i) Pictograph (ii) Bar graph                      Pictograph A pictograph represents the given data through pictures of objects. It helps to answer the questions on the data at a glance.

#### Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics   Set Set is a collection of well-defined objects which are distinct from each other. The objects in the set are called its elements. Sets are usually denoted by capital Letters A, B, C, ?.. and elements are usually denoted by small letters a, b, c, ........ For example/ the set of all even natural numbers less than 10 can be represented by N = {2, 4, 6, 8}.   Methods for Describing a Set (i) Roster Method: In this method, a set is described by listing elements, separated by commas, within braces. e.g. A = {a, e, i, o, u} Note: This method is also called listing method or tabular form method. (ii) Set Builder Method: In this method, we write down a rule which gives us all the elements of the set by that rule. e.g. A = {x : x is a vowel of English alphabet}   Finite Set A set containing finite number of elements or no element, is called a finite set, eg. The set of all persons in India is a finite set.   Infinite Set A set containing infinite number of elements is called an infinite set.   Cardinality of a Finite Set The number of elements in a given finite set is called cardinal number of finite set, denote by n (a), where A is the given set. e.g. $P\text{ }=\text{ }\left\{ 5,\text{ }15,\text{ }25,\text{ }35,\,\,45 \right\}\Rightarrow ~n\left( P \right)=5$   Universal Set (U) A set consisting of all possible elements which occurs under consideration is called a universal set. e.g. Let the set U defines the set of all natural numbers then set of all odd natural numbers is another subset of U and the set of all even natural numbers is another subset of U.   Equal Sets Two sets A and B are called equal, if every element of A is a member of B and every element of B is a member of A, Thus we write A = B. e.g. A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10,} and {all the even natural numbers less than or equal to 10} i.e., A and B are equal sets.
•              Example:
Find cardinal number of a set A of the composite numbers between 10 and 25. (a) 4                                                                  (b) 6            (c) 8                                                                  (d) 9 (e) None of these Answer (d) Explanation: Here, A = {12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24} $\Rightarrow \text{ }n\left( A \right)\text{ }=\text{ }9\text{ }\Rightarrow$Cardinal number of set A = 9   Average Average is a calculated central value of a set of given number. The average is the sum of the numbers divided by the count. So, Average = $\frac{sum\,of\,the\,number}{count}$ For example. Average of first ten natural numbers is $\frac{1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10}{10}=\frac{55}{10}=5.5$   Percentage The word 'percent', more...

#### History and Briefing on Computer

History and Briefing on Computer   Introduction  A computer is a programmable machine. The two principle characteristics of a computer are:   v  It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner. v  It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions. The history of computer is also referred with its generations. Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is being used. The evaluation of computer started from 16th century and resulted in the form that we see today.     Types of Computers All the computers that are developed are not alike. They can have different designs and features. Computers can be as big as occupying a large building or as small as a laptop or may be a micro controller in mobile and embedded systems.       Classification of Computers  On the basic of principles of operations, there are three types of computer they are as listed below:       Analog Computers  Analog computers are used to process analog data. Such type of data includes temperature, pressure, speed weight, voltage, depth etc. These quantities are continuous having an infinite variety of values.   Analog computers are the first computers being developed and they provided the basic for the development of the modern digital computers.           Digital Computers Digital computer works with digits to represent numerals, letters or other special symbols. Digital computers operate on inputs which are of ON-OFF type and its output is also in the form of ON-OFF signal. Normally, an ON is represented by 1 and OFF is represented by a 0. A digital computer can be used to process numeric as well as non-numeric data. It can perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and also logical operations. Most of the computers available today are digital computers:   The results generated by digital computers are more accurate than the results generated by analog computers. Analog computers are faster then digital. Analog computer, lack memory whereas digital computers store information.           Hybrid Computers  Hybrid computer are combination of digital and analog computers. It combines the best features of both types of computer, i.e. it has the speed of analog and the memory and accuracy of digital computers. Hybrid computers are mainly used in specialized applications where both kinds of data needs to be processed. Therefore, they both help the user to process both continuous and discrete data. For example a petrol pump contains a processor that converts fuel flow measurements into quality and price values.         Based on Configuration  On the basic of configuration of operations, there are four types of computer. Configuration can more...

#### More About Networking and Internet

More About Networking and Internet   A network is a set of inter connected devices, such as computers and printers. These novices are connected with transmission media or communication channel. Using network you can send and receive data from one computer to another computer. You can also-hare printer and scanner with other users.   Internet is the technology that is used to connect different computer systems located in different geographic locations.   The internet interconnects millions of computers, providing a global communication, storage, and computation infrastructure. Moreover, the Internet is currently being integrated with mobile and wireless technology.     The Purpose of Networking   File and Data Sharing It allows files to be shared instantaneously across the network with hundreds of users.   Resource Sharing It allows the sharing of network resources such as printers, dedicated services, input devices and internet connections without being relocated.   Internal Communications It allows organizations to maintain internal communication system. It enables employees to co-ordinate meetings and work activities which intern increases productivity.     Provides Reliability Computer network is a very reliable network. If one of the systems in a network collapse, data can be collected from another system in the same network.   Different Types of Networks Computer networks are classified on the basis of various factors. They include geographical span, inter-connectivity, administration, architecture etc.   The three main types of computer networks are:-   v  LAN v  WAN v  MAN   Local Area Network (LAN)                             This type of network is usually a small network constrained to a small geographic area like a home, office, or group of buildings. It is normally used for a single business office or a residential apartment. The major purpose of such inter connectivity is to establish a communication system in order to make the work easier.     LAN provides a useful way of sharing the resources between end users. The resources such as printers, file servers, scanners and internet are easily sharable among other computers.   Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) A Metropolitan Area Network is a network that connects two or more Local Area Network or Campus Area Network together but does not extend beyond the boundaries of the immediate town, city, or metropolitan area. Multiple routers and switches are connected to create a MAN. It provides high speed internet services throughout the area covered within the network.       Wide Area Network (WAN) WAN is a system of network that covers a large geographical area across the world. WAN is used to connect LANs and other types of networks together, so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations.   more...
