Tips and Ticks BODMAS Rule

BODMAS is an acronym and it stands for Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. 

This explains the order of operations to solve an expression. According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve/simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right. 

Example :

7 + (6 × 52 + 3) =   7 + (6 × 25 + 3)

7 + (150 + 3)

7 + (153)

7 + 153

Ans: 160.

Problems Type 2: .

Both A and B together can do work in T days.

A can do this work in X days.


then, B can do it in Y days = (X*T) / (X-T) .


Problems Type 3: .

A can finish work in X days.

B can finish work in Y days.

Combinations and Permutations

Permutation and combination related questions are common in PSC and Bank exams.

Before going to Combinations and Permutations, first lean about factorial. .

If  n  is a positive integer then, factorial of n is denoted as n! . .


4! = (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 ) = 24.


Permutations are for lists of items, whose order matters and combinations are for group of items where order doesn’t matter. in other words, .

When the order of items doesn\\\'t matter, it is called as Combination.
When the order of items does matter it is called as Permutation.


The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is determined by using this formula:.

C(n,r)=n!/((n−r)!r!) .

Combination : Picking a team of 3 people from a football coaching group of 10. C(10,3) = 10!(3!(10−3)!) = 120. ....
