XAT 2024: Important Formulas To Study 📐

Check out the formulas that will help you in completing the XAT exam. 

XAT 2024 Formula Topics	XAT Important Topics
Number System	(1² + 2² + 3² + ….. + n²) = n ( n + 1 ) (2n + 1) / 6 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + n = n(n + 1)/2(1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ….. + n³) = (n(n + 1)/ 2)² Sum of first n odd numbers = n² Sum of first n even numbers = n (n + 1)
Percentages	Find what percentage of X is Y: Y/X x 100 Increase N by S% = N(1+S/100)Decrease N by S% = N(1 – S/100)
Speed, Time, and Distance	Speed= Distance/ Time Distance= Speed x Time Time= Distance/ Time
Time and Work Formulas (Basic Formulas)	If X can do a piece of work in ‘n’ days, then X’s 1 day’s work = 1/n If X’s 1 day’s work = is 1/n, then X can finish the work in n days.
Simple and Compound Interest Formula	Simple Interest: P x i x n (P= Principle, i= interest rate and n= term of the loan)Compound Interest: Compound Interest = [P(1+i)n] – P Compound Interest = P[(1+i)n-1]
Average Formula	Average= Sum of observations/ Number of observations
Profit, Loss, and Discount	Profit % = Profit/(C P)×100 Profit/Gain = (S.P.) – (C.P.) C P = 100/(100+gain %)×S P S P = (100+gain % )/100 ×C P Loss % = Loss/(C.P.)×100 Loss = (C.P.) – (S.P.) C P = 100/(100-loss %)×S P S P = (100-loss %)/100×C P
Basic Mathematical Formulas	(a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab) (a – b)² = (a² + b² – 2ab) (a + b)(a – b) = (a² – b²) (a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab) (a³ – b³) = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²) (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca) (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²) When a + b + c = 0, then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc (a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ac) (a + b)n = an + (nC1)an-1b + (nC2)an-2b² + … + (nCn-1)abn-1 + bn
LCM and HCF	LCM × HCF = Product of the NumbersLCM of Co-prime Numbers = Product Of The Numbers
