The quickest way to calculate percentages is to multiply numbers first and handle two decimal places later.
For example, 20% of 70 is 20 x 70 = 1400, so the answer is 14.
70% of 20 is also 14.
To calculate the percentage of 72 or 29, then round up and down to the nearest multiple (70 and 30 respectively) to get a quick approx result.
Formula : .
Train Speed = Distance / Time.
Points to Remember .
To change km/hr into m/sec, we need to multiply it by 5 / 18. .
Example:.
90 km/hr means.
90 x 5 / 18.
= (5 x 5 ).
= 25 m/sec.
And if we need to convert m/sec into km/hr, we multiply it by 18 / 5.
Example:.
90 m/sec means.
90 x 18 / 5.
= ( 18 x 18 ).
= 324 km/hr.
Time taken by a train of length l meters to pass a pole or standing man or a signal post is equal to the time taken by the train to cover l meters.
Time taken by a train of length l meters to pass a stationary object of length b meters is the time taken by the train to cover (l + b) meters.
Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are mo...

What is the divisibility by 2 Rule?.
Even numbers are multiples of 2. A number is even if ends in 0,2,4,6, or 8.
What is the divisibility by 3 rule?.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
372, for instance, is divisible by 3 since sum of its digits (3+7+2) is 12. And 12 is divisible by 3.
What is the divisibility by 4 rule?.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number\'s last two digits are divisible by 4.
9,312, for instance, is divisible by 4 since its last 2 digits are 12. And 12 is divisible by 4.
What is the divisibility by 5 rule?.
A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is a 0 or 5.
What is the divisibility by 6 rule?.
Since 6 is a multiple of 2 and 3, the rules for divisibility by 6 are a combination of the rule for 2 and the rule for 3.
Divisibility by 8 Rule.
A number passes the test for 8 if the las...
