GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Mathematics needs Continuous Practice right from the start of the year.
Solve each and every question by yourself with understanding. Do similar questions from other
question banks as well. If you understand one sum, you can do hundred similar sums.
Be in regular touch with your Teachers. Ask them for more guidance, academic help etc.
Remember that without consistent practice you cannot be perfect in Mathematics.
Be prepared for the worst correction. Dont give any chance to the examiner to cut your marks for
silly mistakes or careless work.
Dont use short cut ways to get answer, make habit of writing all required steps. You never know
which step has to be marked for giving marks. Marking scheme is changed every year.
Read the question carefully, write the data first and convert into the same unit if to be substituted
for further calculation.
Copy the digits carefully. Check the digits again at the end. Misreading is very common error.
Write 0 and 6 clearly. It has been observed that your 6 is taken as 0 and 0 is taken as 6 by you
only.
If the value is to be substituted in between the sum (e.g., value of r), dont keep in decimal form
or round off form. Keep it in fraction form only or else this may lead to wrong answer.
If the answer is to be written up to two decimal places, find up to three decimal places and round
off at the end.
Make proper equal to sign for every step, sometimes its taken as minus sign which provides you
wrong answer.
Do Small calculation also (roughly/not mentally) parallel or adjacent to the sum only. (You are
suggested to do it to gain marks, e.g., 12 6, 19 + 22, 90 65 etc. have been found wrong due to
carefree attitude of students.)
Reading time must be used to make the right choice in section B.
Dont spend more than 5 or 6 minutes on average for a sum. This will give you spare time for a
quick review at last. If you get stuck, stop and move on.
Never cross out an answer until you revise it at last. You may get sum marks for correct steps. If
you attempt a sum twice or thrice, dont cancel anything. Let the examiner decide which one is
correct. This is very useful tool if you are not confident about your answer.

Compound Interest:
Simple interest is computed on the principal.
Compounded interest is computed on the sum of the Principal and Interest previously earned. In
other words, the interest also earns interest.
A=P+I
S.I. =

S.I. for 1st year = C.I. for 1st year if compounded annually.
S.I. for 1year C.I. for 1year if compounded half yearly. (C.I. > S.I.)
C. I. for (n + 1) year = C.I. of nth year + Int. on it for 1 year ; R% =

Round off Amount (money) up to two decimal places.(61.166 = 61.17, 440.2 = 440.20)
Skip decimal values (after round off) if the amount is calculated to the nearest rupee.
C.I. of 2nd year and C.I. of 2 years are two different terms.
Sales Tax and Value Added Tax:

The price at which an Article is marked : List Price/Marked Price/Printed Price/Quoted Price
Sale Price = M.P. Discount, Discount is calculated on M.P.
Sales Tax is calculated after deducting the discount (on the discounted price).

Banking:
1. SB Account:
a. Withdrawal = Debit
b. Deposit = Credit
c. Steps for calculation of interest:
i. Find the minimum balance of each month between 10th day and the last day.
ii. Add all the balances. This is the Equivalent Monthly Principal for 1 month.
1
iii. Calculate the SI on the Equivalent Monthly Principal with T = 12 years.

iv. No interest is paid for the month in which the account is opened after 10th day or
closed on any day (principal for that month is taken as zero).
v. If the Amount Received on closing is asked, add the interest to the LAST BALANCE
(actual amount available in your account) and not to the Equivalent Monthly Principal.
Amount Received on closing the account = Closing Balance + S.I.

Shares and Dividend:

The total money invested by the company is called its capital stock.
The capital stock is divided into a number of equal units. Each unit is a called a share.
Nominal Value is also called Register Value, Printed Value, and Face Value.
The FV of a share always remains the same, while its MV goes on changing.
The part of the profit of a company which is distributed amongst the shareholders is known as
dividend.
If the MV = NV, the share is said to be at par.
If the MV >NV, the share is said to be at premium.
If the MV <NV, the share is said to be at discount.

ALGEBRA
Linear Inequations:
The signs >, < , and are called signs of inequality.
On transferring + ve term becomes ve and vice versa.
If each term is multiplied or divided by + ve number, the sign of inequality remains the same.
The sign of inequality reverses:
If each term is multiplied or divided by same negative number.
If the sign of each term on both the sides of an inequation is changed.
On taking reciprocals of both sides, in case both the sides are positive or negative.
Always, write the solution set for the inequation, e.g.,{x : x3, x N}, solution set = {1, 2, 3}
6
To represent the solution on a number line:
Put arrow sign on both the ends of the line and keep extra integers beyond the range.
Use dark dots on the line for each element of N, W and Z. (WIN)
For Q, R: mark range with solid circle (for or ), hollow circle (for < and >.)
and means Intersection ( only common elements of the sets). Common range for R
or means Union (all elements of the sets without repetition).
2
Dont use decimal values e.g., 1.66 or 1.33 on number line, use fraction form 13 etc only.
1
Show the number on the number line which you are representing, e.g., 1 .
2
Solution must be written inside curly brackets { } only.

1
Show the fraction 1 2 on number line or use an arrow to indicate the written value.
Remember that solution set for R and Q is always written in set-builder form only.
Quadratic Equations:
1. Quadratic equation is an equation with one variable, the highest power of the variable is 2.
2. Some useful results:
a) (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
b) (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
c) a 2 b2= (a + b) (a b)
d) (a + b)2 - (a - b)2 = 4ab
e) a3 + b3 =(a + b)(a2- ab+ b2)
f) a3 - b3 =(a - b)(a2+ ab+ b2)
g) (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
h) (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)
i) (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
j) a3 + b3 + c3 3abc = (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 ab bc ca)

3. Steps for solving quadratic equation by factorization: (PSI system)
a. Clear all fractions and brackets if necessary.
b. Bring it to the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 by transposing terms.
c. Factorize the expression by splitting the middle term as a sum of product of a and c.
4. Discriminant (D) = 2 4
a. if D > 0, then the roots are real and unequal
b. if D = 0, then the roots are real and equal
c. if D < 0, then the roots are not real (imaginary).
5. The roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 ; a 0 can be obtained by using the formula:
x=
2 4
2
6. Use powers and factorial page to find the square root of the number and round off only in the end as
asked in the question.
7. For word problems, keep first the fraction with small denominator. e.g.,
smaller denominator) and in

2500
+12
= 20 , here (x is
( x 5 is smaller denominator)
8. In speed sums, convert minutes to hours because the speeds of train , plane or cars are in km/hr.
There is mark for correct formula with correct substitution. Wrong formula leads to zero.
Use log table to find square root. Dont find square root by division method, its risky and leads to
wrong answer.
There is difference between answers 2 decimal places and 2 significant figures.
(2.21 is up to 2 d.p. and 2.2 is up to 2 s.f.)
Ratio and Proportion:
A ratio is a comparison of the sizes of two or more quantities of the same kind by division. Since ratio
is a number, so it has no units.
8
To find the ratio between two quantities, change them to the same units.
To compare two ratios, convert them into like fractions.
In the ratio, a : b, a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.
For equal ratios , = = =
++
++
; each ratio =
= = k (say) , then a = bk and c = dk used for proving sums
= = = (), then d = d, c = dk, b = dk2 , a = dk3 used for proving sums
Compound ratio of a : b and c : d is (a c) : (b d)
Duplicate ratio of a : b is a2: b2
Triplicate ratio of a : b is a3: b3
Sub-duplicate ratio of a : b is :
Sub-triplicate ratio of a : b is
Reciprocal ratio of a : b is b : a or
Proportion- An equality of two ratios is called a proportion. Written as: a : b :: c : d or =
Product of extreme terms = product of middle terms, if a, b, c, d are in proportion then ad = bc
Continued Proportion- a : b :: b : c or a : b = b : c ; mean proportion (b) = 2 =
Invertendo:
If a : b = c : d, then b : a = d : c
Alternendo :
If a : b = c : d, then a : c = b : d
Componendo :
If a : b = c : d, then a + b : b = c + d : d
Dividendo :
If a : b = c : d, then a - b : b = c - d : d
Componendo and Dividendo :
If a : b = c : d, then a + b : a b=c + d : cd
Write final answer in ratio form 25 : 16 .

Remainder and Factor Theorem:

1. If f(x) is a polynomial, which is divisible by (x a), a R, then the remainder is f (a).
2. If the remainder on dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x a), f (a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of f(x).
3. When f(x) is divided by (ax + b), then remainder is f
4. When f(x)is divided by (ax - b), then remainder is f
,a0
,a0
If (2x + 3) is a factor of f (x), then never skip to write f
=0
If remainder is given, dont dare to replace it by zero.

Write all factors in product form, e.g., (x + 1) (2x+3) (x 3). [(x + 1), (2x+3) ,(x 3) is wrong]
Matrices:
A rectangular arrangement of numbers, in the form of horizontal (rows) and vertical lines (columns)
is called a matrix. Each number of a matrix is called its element. The elements of a matrix are
enclosed in brackets [ ].
The order of a matrix = No. of rows No. of columns
Row matrix: Only 1 row. E.g.,
Column matrix: Only 1 column. E.g.,
Square matrix: No. of rows = No. of columns. E.g.,
Rectangular matrix: No. of rows No. of columns. E.g.,
Zero matrix: All elements are zero. E.g.,
0 0 0
0 0 0

Every straight line can be represented by a linear equation.
Any point, which satisfies the equation of a line, lies on that line.
Inclination of a line is the angle which the part of the line makes with x-axis.
Inclination is positive in anti-clockwise direction and negative in clockwise direction.
Slope or gradient of any inclined plane is ratio of vertical rise and horizontal distance.
Slope of a line (m) =
Inclination of x-axis and every line parallel to it is 0.

The bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle.
One and only one circle can be drawn passing through 3 non-collinear points.
Equal chords are equidistant from the centre.

15
Chords which are equidistant from the centre are equal in length.

Greater the size of chord, lesser is its distance from the centre.
Angle at the centre = 2 angle on the circumference.
Angles in the same segment are equal.
Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, then the quadrilateral is cyclic.
Angle in the major segment is acute and in the minor segment is obtuse.
Exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral = Interior opposite angle.
In equal or same circle. If two arcs subtend equal angle at the centre, then they are equal.
In equal circle, if two arcs are equal, then they subtend equal angle at the centre.
In equal circle, if two chords are equal, they cut off equal arcs.
In equal circle, if two arcs are equal, the chords of the arcs are also equal.
The tangent at any point of a circle & the radius through this point are to each other.
If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an exterior point,

Make habit of copying diagram to find the values of different angles.
Mark 90 for angle in semi-circle; equal angles in same segment; central angle is twice the angle
on circumference, opposite angles of cyclic; exterior angle of cyclic, etc. in the diagram.
Reasons must be written wherever possible. (No reason leads to no mark.)
Constructions:
Standard Angles should be made by using scale and compass only not by using protractor.
Two angle bisectors and a Perpendicular from centre to any side of regular polygon are required to
draw incircle.
Any two side perpendicular bisectors are required to draw circumcircle.

In proving sums, dont assume LHS = RHS in the beginning, Solve Separately. Transfer of
digits from one side to other is strictly prohibited.
Dont do direct conversion of trigonometric ratios of complementary angles. Show the steps.
Write reasons for the conversion without fail. Dont forget to write the identity whichever is
used.
Height and Distance:
angle > angle

Angle of depression
Angle of elevation
Bigger angle is always inside and smaller is outside.
Height is vertical length and distance is horizontal length.

Diagram is must in Heights and Distances. Mark angles correctly. Outside angle is always
smaller. Angle of elevation decreases when distance increases.
Make habit of writing the standard values of tan as per given in the question. E.g., you get 1
mark just for writing tan 45 = 1.
You may easily get 3 marks in heights and distances sums: 1 mark for correct diagram, 1mark for
the value of tan 30, 45 or 60and 1 mark for writing correct formula with correct substitution.
There is only one mark for big calculation. So dont omit this important topic.
Use log table to write the values of angles (22, 32, 48 etc) other than standard angles in finding
heights and distances.
Keep unknown side as numerator while using tan , to avoid division by big decimal number.
Multiplication is always easier. Use complementary angle if required.

Mode is the variate which has the maximum frequency.
The class with maximum frequency is called the modal class. (e.g., 20 30)
To estimate mode from histogram: draw two straight lines from the corners of the rectangles on either
term

sides of the highest rectangle to the opposite corners of the highest rectangle. Through the point of
intersection of the two straight lines, draw a vertical line to meet the x-axis at the point M (say). The
variate at the point M is the required mode.
To find median of grouped data, draw ogive (cumulative frequency curve).

For finding mean of raw data, be very careful in counting number of data (n).
Use kink (if required), show scale and label the axes to get marks. Dont dare to change the scale
if already given in the question.
For finding median, Q1, Q3 or number of desired range (below or above) using ogive,
perpendiculars are must. No mark is allotted without perpendiculars.
Write the answer in decimal form not in fraction.
In Ogive, it should be the smooth curve without halt.
Probability:
Probability is a measure of uncertainty.
An Experiment is an action which results in some (well-defined) outcomes.
Sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment. n(S)
An Event is a subset of the sample space associated with a random experiment. n(E)
An Event occurs when the outcome of an experiment satisfies the condition mentioned in the event.
22
The outcomes which ensure the occurrence of an event are called favorable outcomes to that event.
The probability of an event E, written as P(E), is defined as P (E) =
P(E) = ()
The value of probability is always between 0 and 1.
The probability of sure (certain) event is 1.
The probability of an impossible event is 0.
An elementary event is an event which has one (favorable) outcome from the sample space.
A Compound event is an event which has more than one outcome from the sample space.
If E is an event, then the event not E is complementary event of E and denoted by E.
0 () 1
P(E) + P(E) = 1
In a pack (deck) of playing cards, there are 52 cards which are divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each
()
spades (
), hearts (
), diamonds (
) and clubs (
). Spades and clubs are black in colour,
while hearts and diamonds are of red colour. The cards in each suit are ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9,
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Kings, queens and jacks are called face (picture/court) cards. The cards bearing
number 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 are called numbered cards. Thus a pack of playing cards has 4 aces, 12
face cards and 36 numbered cards. The aces together with face cards (= 16).are called cards of
honour.
When a coin is tossed, it may show head (H) up or tail (T) up. Thus the outcomes are: {H, T}.
When two coins are tossed simultaneously, then the outcomes are: {HH, HT, TH, TT}. [n(S) = 2n]
When a die is thrown once the outcomes are: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
When two dice are thrown simultaneously, then the outcomes are: {(1, 1), (1, 2).(6, 6)}.
Write the answer in simplified form.

Dont forget to write sample space. At times, there is special 1 mark for it, which is ignored by
most of the students.

LIST OF FORMULAE, ICSE MATH (X), By Rakesh Kushwaha Sir (M.Sc.; B.Ed.

Ex-Vice Principal (M.V.M. PUBLIC SCHOOL, ALIGARH)

Address: Cluster III, Poonam Estate, Mira Road (East)

ICSE MATHEMATICS (X)

Amount in (n + 1) year = Amount in nth year + Int. on it for 1 year; R% =

; when rates for successive years are different.

;when the interest is compounded half-yearly.

, If the time is 22 years and the rate is compounded yearly.

, V0 = Initial Value, V = Final Value

Sales Tax and Value Added Tax:

Rate of Sales Tax Sales Price

VAT paid by a person =

M.P. , where d = discount, r = rate of sales tax

= Rate % (S.P. C.P.)

VAT = Tax recovered(charged) on the sale Tax paid on the purchase

iii. Calculate the SI on the Equivalent Monthly Principal with T = 12 years.

, where x = monthly deposit, n = no. of months

years ; P = monthly deposit, n = no. of months, r = rate%

c. M.V. = P + I ; Maturity Value = Total deposit (monthly deposit ) + Interest

Shares and Dividend:

No. of shares = MV of each

Return % = Investment 100 %

% increase in return on original investment = Original

New Dividend Old Dividend

Solution must be written inside curly brackets { } only.

Ratio and Proportion:

To compare two ratios, convert them into like fractions.

In the ratio, a : b, a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.

For equal ratios , = = =

= = k (say) , then a = bk and c = dk used for proving sums

= = = (), then d = d, c = dk, b = dk2 , a = dk3 used for proving sums

Compound ratio of a : b and c : d is (a c) : (b d)

Duplicate ratio of a : b is a2: b2

Triplicate ratio of a : b is a3: b3

Proportion- An equality of two ratios is called a proportion. Written as: a : b :: c : d or =

Product of extreme terms = product of middle terms, if a, b, c, d are in proportion then ad = bc

Continued Proportion- a : b :: b : c or a : b = b : c ; mean proportion (b) = 2 =
