 1. Find the sum of following numbers. 54 + 108 + 216 + 432 + 864 + 1728 + 3456 Answer: 6858 Solution: The ratio of multiplication is 2 (A term is twice the previous term). There are 7 terms in the series. Hence  using the speed math trick, sum = (2^7 - 1)*54/(2-1) = (127*54) =  6858 2. Find the sum of following numbers. 25 + 75 + 225 + 675 + 2025 + 6075 + 24300 + 97200 + 388800 + 1555200 Answer: 2074600 Solution: There are two series. First let us find sum of 25 + 75 + 225 + 675 + 2025 + 6075. Sum using the speed maths trick is =  (3^6 -1)*25/(3-1) = 9100 [Each number is thrice the previous term] Next for the series 24300 + 97200 + 388800 + 1555200, Sum using the speed maths trick is =  (4^4 -1)*24300/(4-1) = 2065500. [Each number is four times the previous term]. Total = 9100 + 2065500 = 2074600 3. What is the value of 52 * 5.5 + 64*22 + 82 * 11? Answer: 2596 Solution: This problem is based on speed maths trick to multiply a number with 11. The expression can be written as 26*11 + 12

1. Find the value to replace question mark if 121^3 * 11 / (1331^2) = 11? Answer: 1 Solution: 1331 = 121*11 So the expression becomes, 11^6 * 11/(11^6) = 11. Hence ?=1 2.

Find the value of 12.05 * 6.3/0.7 Answer: 108.45 Solution: 12.05 * 6.3/0.7 = 12.05 * 63/7 = 12.05 * 9 = 12.05 * (10-1) = 120.5 - 12.05 = 108.45 4. Find the value of (2 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4)(1 - 1/5) ....... (1 - 1/99)(1 - 1/100) Answer: 0.05 Solution: (2 - 1/3) = 5/3 (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 (1 - 1/5) = 4/5 (1 - 1/100) = 99/100 So expression becomes 5/3 * 3/4 * 4/5 * ..... 98/99 * 99/100 = 5/100 = .05 5. If a/b = 1/3 and 9a + b = 48, then find the value of a. Answer: 4 Solution: a/b = 1/3, So b=3a. using the other equation, 9a+3a = 48, a=48/12=4 6.
