<h2 id="content-id-1727-0"><strong>Topics covered in Basic Algebra</strong></h2>

<p>Algebra is an important subject for the WBCS Prelims Exam, as it is covered in the General Studies section. The General Studies section covers a wide range of topics, including current events, history, geography, economics, civics, and science and technology. However, algebra is one of the few topics that is specifically mentioned in the syllabus for the General Studies section.</p>

<p>The following are some of the basic algebra topics that are covered in the WBCS Prelims Exam:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Linear equations and inequalities</li>
	<li>Sets and relations</li>
	<li>Functions</li>
	<li>Quadratic equations and inequalities</li>
	<li>Arithmetic progressions and geometric progressions</li>
	<li>Matrices and determinants</li>
	<li>Probability and statistics</li>
</ul>

<p>So in this blog, we will discuss the Linear Equations. Let’s try to learn what the equation is first and its Components and then we will discuss the Linear Equation.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1727-1"><strong>Equations and its Types</strong></h2>

<p>A statement of equality which involves variables and number(s) is called an equation.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> 4x = 12, 7 - 2z<sup>3</sup> = 5 etc.</p>

<p>Equations are of three types:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Linear Equations</li>
	<li>Quadratic Equations</li>
	<li>Polynomials</li>
</ol>

<p>So, let's discuss linear equation first.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1727-2"><strong>Linear Equations Theory and Examples</strong></h2>

<p>An equation in which the highest power of the variables involved is one, is called a linear equation.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> x/3 = 8, x + y = 10 etc.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Linear equation in one variable: </strong>An equation containing only one variable with the highest power one. (Represent point in the number line).<br>
	<strong>E.g.</strong> 16x = 56, 78z = 81</li>
	<li><strong>Linear equation in two variables:</strong> An equation containing only two variables with the highest power one. A graph of linear equations ax + by = c is a straight line.<br>
	<strong>E.g.</strong> 3x + 2y = 34, 3 = x / (5 - t) etc.</li>
	<li><strong>Linear equation in three variables: </strong>A linear equation in which numbers of unknown variables are three, is known as the linear equation in three variables. (Represents a place in 3 dimensions).<br>
	<strong>E.g.</strong> 4x + 6y + 7z = 20, x + y + 2z = 5 etc.</li>
</ul>

<p>We learned about the different types of equations but what are the uses of these equations? How to solve these equations? What is consistency in equations? We will learn all these in this blog</p>

<p>Let’s start by studying the consistency of the system.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1727-3"><strong>Consistency of Linear Equation</strong></h2>

<p>A set of linear equations is said to be consistent if there exists at least one solution for these equations, otherwise, the equation is inconsistent.</p>

<p>Let us consider a system of two linear equations as shown, a<sub>1</sub>x + b<sub>1</sub>y + c<sub>1</sub> = 0 and a<sub>2</sub>x + b<sub>2</sub>y + c<sub>2</sub> = 0</p>

<p><strong>Consistent System:</strong> If the system has at least one solution exists then there would be two possibilities.</p>

<ul>
	<li><u>Independent Equation</u>: System has a unique solution or a<sub>1</sub>/a<sub>2</sub> ≠ b<sub>1</sub>/b<sub>2</sub>, it represents a pair of intersecting lines.</li>
	<li><u>Dependent Equation</u>: System has infinite solution or a<sub>1</sub>/a<sub>2</sub> = b<sub>1</sub>/b<sub>2</sub> = c<sub>1</sub>/c<sub>2</sub>, it represents a pair of parallel lines.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Inconsistent System:</strong> If system of equations has no solution then, </p>

<p>a<sub>1</sub>/a<sub>2</sub> = b<sub>1</sub>/b<sub>2</sub> ≠ c<sub>1</sub>/c<sub>2</sub></p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> Check whether the given system is consistent or not. If yes, then find the solution.</p>

<p>x - 2y = 0</p>

<p>3x + 4y - 20 = 0</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> Here, a<sub>1</sub> = 1, a<sub>2</sub> = 3</p>

<p>b<sub>1</sub> = - 2, b<sub>2</sub> = 4</p>

<p>c<sub>1</sub> = 0, c<sub>2</sub> = -20</p>

<p>a<sub>1</sub> / a<sub>2</sub> = 1/3,</p>

<p>b<sub>1</sub> / b<sub>2</sub> = (-2) / 4 = (-1) / 2,</p>

<p>c<sub>1</sub> / c<sub>2</sub> = 0</p>

<p>here, a<sub>1</sub>/a<sub>2</sub> ≠ b<sub>1</sub>/b<sub>2</sub></p>

<p>We don’t know how to find solution so let’s try to learn how to find out first.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1727-4"><strong>Methods to Solve Linear Equations</strong></h2>

<ul>
	<li>Substitution Method</li>
	<li>Elimination Method</li>
	<li>Cross Multiplication Method</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Substitution method: </strong>In this method, first the value of one variable must be represented in the form of another variable and put this value in another equation and solve it. Thus, the value of one variable is obtained and this value is used to find the value of another variable.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> Solve the following equations with the substitution method.</p>

<p>2x - y = 3, 4x - y = 5</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> 2x - y = 3 … (i)</p>

<p>⇒ y = 2x - 3</p>

<p>⇒ 4x - y = 5 … (ii)</p>

<p>Putting the value of y in equation (ii)</p>

<p>⇒ 4x - (2x - 3) = 5 ⇒ 2x + 3 = 5 ⇒ 2x = 2 ⇒ x = 1</p>

<p>Now putting the value of x in (ii)</p>

<p>⇒ 4(1) - y = 5 ⇒ 4 - y = 5 ⇒ y = -1</p>

<p>Hence x = 1 and y = -1</p>

<p><strong>Elimination method: </strong>In this method, the coefficient of one of the variables of each equation become equal to the coefficient of other equation by multiplying by a proper multiple. By solving these equations and by which we get the value of another variable and thus with the help of this value, we can find the value of another variable.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> Solve the following equations with the elimination method.</p>

<p>2x - y = 3, 4x - y = 5</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> 2x - y = 3 (i) 4x - y = 5 (ii)</p>

<p>Subtracting (ii) from (i)</p>

<p>⇒ −2𝑥 = −2</p>

<p>⇒ x = 1</p>

<p>By putting the value of x in (i)</p>

<p>⇒ 2(1) - y = 3</p>

<p>⇒ 2 - y = 3</p>

<p>⇒ y = -1</p>

<p>We got the same answer by both methods, let’s try the cross multiplication method.</p>

<p><strong>Cross multiplication method: </strong>Cross multiplication method is a technique used to solve linear equations that involve fractions. This method is used to simplify the equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominators of the fractions, eliminating the fractions altogether.</p>

<p>Let,</p>

<p>a<sub>1</sub>x + b<sub>1</sub>y + c<sub>1</sub> = 0</p>

<p>a<sub>2</sub>x + b<sub>2</sub>y + c<sub>2</sub> = 0</p>

<p>Are two equations, by cross-multiplication method</p>

<p>⇒ x / (b<sub>1</sub> c<sub>2</sub> - b<sub>2</sub> c<sub>1</sub>) = y / (c<sub>1</sub> a<sub>2</sub> - c<sub>2</sub> a<sub>1</sub>) = 1 / (a<sub>1</sub> b<sub>2</sub> - a<sub>2</sub> b<sub>1</sub>)</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> Solve the following equations with a cross-multiplication method.</p>

<p>2x - y - 3 = 0 and 4x - y - 5 = 0</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> By putting the value of a<sub>1</sub>, b<sub>1</sub>, c<sub>1</sub>, a<sub>2</sub>, b<sub>2</sub> and c<sub>2</sub> in formula</p>

<p>x / (b<sub>1</sub> c<sub>2</sub> - b<sub>2</sub> c<sub>1</sub>) = y / (c<sub>1</sub> a<sub>2</sub> - c<sub>2</sub> a<sub>1</sub>) = 1 / (a<sub>1</sub> b<sub>2</sub> - a<sub>2</sub> b<sub>1</sub>)</p>

<p>⇒ x / [-1 × (-5) - (-1) × (-3)] = y / [(-3) × 4 - (-5) × 2[ = 1 / [2 × (-1) - 4 × (-1)]</p>

<p>⇒ x / (5 - 3) = y / (-12 + 10) = 1 / (-2 + 4)</p>

<p>⇒ x / 2 = y / (-2) = 1 / 2</p>

<p>⇒ x = 1, y = -1</p>

<p>Now, we will solve some word problem questions using the concepts we learn in this blog.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1727-5"><strong>Basic Algebra Questions</strong></h2>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> The sum of four numbers is 96. When 10 and 2 are added to the first two, and 6 and 14 are subtracted from the 3rd and 4th, all the four numbers will be equal. What are the numbers?</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> Let four numbers be a, b, c and d a + b + c + d = 96 ...(1)</p>

<p>a + 10 = b + 2 = c – 6 = d – 14 = M (let)</p>

<p>a = M – 10, b = M – 2, c = M + 6, d = M + 14</p>

<p>From equation (1)</p>

<p>M – 10 + M – 2 + M + 6 + M + 14 = 96 4M + 8 = 96</p>

<p>4M = 96 – 8 = 88 M = 88/4 = 22</p>

<p>⇒ a = M – 10 = 22 – 10 = 12</p>

<p>⇒ b = M – 2 = 22 – 2 = 20</p>

<p>⇒ c = M + 6 = 22 + 6 = 28</p>

<p>⇒ d = M + 14 = 22 + 14 = 36</p>

<p>Now, let’s solve another linear algebra word problem using the concept of elimination method.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> In the zoo, there are some ducks and some tigers. If the head is counted there are 120 heads, while the legs are counted are 400 legs . What is the number of tigers in the zoo?</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> Total number of heads = 120</p>

<p>Total number of legs = 400</p>

<p>Ducks and tigers have one head but different number of legs Let the number of tigers be x and ducks be y.</p>

<p>Ducks have 2 legs and tigers have 4 legs.</p>

<p>⇒ ducks legs + tigers legs = Total number of legs</p>

<p>⇒ 4x + 2y = 400   ——— (1)</p>

<p>⇒ x + y = 120   —— (2)</p>

<p>Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and subtracting from equation (1),</p>

<p>We get, 2x = 160</p>

<p>⇒ x = 80</p>

<p>We will solve a bit complicated problem using the same set of principles that we learn in this blog.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> Box A, B, C, D, E have mangoes. If 60 mangoes are drawn from box B and filled in box A then box B will have as many mangoes as box E has and if 60 mangoes are drawn from box A and filled in box B then box B will have as many mangoes as box D has. Boxes A and B together have 200 mangoes more than boxes D and E together have. If box B has 40 mangoes more than box C has and the total number of mangoes that they have is 2660, how many mangoes does box B have?</p>

<p><strong>Sol:</strong> B - 60 = E ...(1)</p>

<p>B + 60 = D ...(2)</p>

<p>A + B = D + E + 200 ...(3) B = C + 40 ...(4)</p>

<p>A + B + C + D + E = 2660 ...(5)</p>

<p>From (1) and (2)</p>

<p>2 B = D + E ...(6)</p>

<p>From (3) and (6)</p>

<p>A = 2B + 200 ...(7)</p>

<p>Using (4), (6) and (7) in (5)</p>

<p>⇒ (B + 200) + B + (B - 40) + 2(B) = 2660</p>

<p>⇒ 5 B = 2500</p>

<p>⇒ B = 500</p>

<p>In this example, every time different number of mangoes were taken out in different boxes. First, we converted every statement in linear equation form and by solving by linear equations, we obtained the required answer.</p>

<p>During our initial learning phase, we were exposed to different types of equations and the concept of consistency in a system. Upon determining consistency, we then evaluated if the equation had a unique solution. Subsequently, we applied these concepts to solve practical problems that involved the use of linear algebra. These skills are highly beneficial in addressing related questions that may appear in the WBCS Prelims Exam.</p>

<p>So, this is all for linear equations. In our next blog of Basic Algebra, we will discuss the <strong>Quadratic Equations</strong>. Till then, stay tuned!!</p>

WBCS বিজ্ঞপ্তি 2023 - সরকারি চাকুরিতে নিয়োগ

<p>Numbers are the basic pillar of Mathematics, the language of the universe. The thing which we learned in our first mathematics class. The thing we deal with, in our day-to-day life. The thing which is almost everywhere. </p>

<p>Well, we are not here to talk about the universe. But let me make this thing very clear. Classification of Numbers is the most important topic of the quant section. Not only this one, but the entire “Number System”. But I promise you, I will make this chapter most interesting and a favorite one. </p>

<p>So, just be with me in the entire session and see how these numbers are going to amaze you every time. So, be ready to enjoy as well as learn.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-0"><strong>Overview of the Classification of Numbers</strong></h2>

<p>The classification of numbers is a fundamental concept in mathematics, serving as the building block for a wide range of mathematical disciplines. This overview delves into the various categories of numbers, including natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers.</p>

<p><img alt="Classification of Numbers" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/Classification of Numbers.webp" style="height:200px; width:400px"></p>

<p>Understanding these classifications is pivotal in mathematics and its applications. Whether you're a student seeking a strong foundation in math or a curious learner exploring the beauty of numbers, this guide will provide you with a comprehensive insight into the world of mathematical classification.</p>

<p>Here is the chart which classifies numbers.</p>

<p><img alt="Overview of the Classification of Numbers" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/Overview of the Classification of Numbers.webp" style="height:400px; width:400px"></p>

<p>Now that you've taken a look at the overview, let's understand what all these numbers mean.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-1"><strong>Real Numbers</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Real numbers</strong> are the numbers that we use to represent quantities in the real world. These are the numbers whose squares are positive numbers. They include all the rational numbers, such as integers and fractions, as well as the irrational numbers, such as pi and the square root of 2.</p>

<p>Real numbers can be thought of as all the points on a number line. The points corresponding to integers are equally spaced, but the points corresponding to irrational numbers are not.</p>

<p>Real numbers are used in many different areas of mathematics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus. They are also used in many different scientific disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, and engineering.</p>

<p><strong>Here are some examples of real numbers:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Integers:</strong> 1, 2, 3, -4, -5, ...</li>
	<li><strong>Fractions: </strong>1/2, 2/3, 3/4, -4/5, -5/6, ...</li>
	<li><strong>Irrational numbers:</strong> π, √2, e, ...</li>
</ul>

<p>We will discuss all these examples in detail.</p>

<p><strong>Some of the important properties of real numbers include:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Order:</strong> Real numbers are ordered, meaning that for any two real numbers, a and b, either a is less than b, a is greater than b, or a is equal to b.</li>
	<li><strong>Arithmetic operations:</strong> Real numbers are closed under the arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This means that the sum, difference, product, and quotient of any two real numbers is also a real number.</li>
	<li><strong>Density:</strong> Real numbers are dense, meaning that between any two real numbers, there is always another real number.</li>
	<li><strong>Completeness:</strong> Real numbers are complete, meaning that every non-empty set of real numbers that has an upper bound has a least upper bound.</li>
</ul>

<p>Real numbers are an essential part of mathematics and science. They allow us to represent and measure quantities in the real world, and to solve complex problems.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-2"><strong>Imaginary Numbers</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Imaginary numbers</strong> are numbers that are not real numbers. They are defined as multiples of the imaginary unit <strong>i</strong>, which is defined by the property <strong>i<sup>2</sup> = -1</strong>.</p>

<p>[i = √(-1), i<sup>2</sup> = -1, i<sup>3</sup> = -i, i<sup>4</sup> = 1]</p>

<p><strong>e.g.</strong> If the number 6i is given, it means it’s value is 6 × √(-1) = 6√(-1) = √(-36).</p>

<p>Imaginary numbers are often used in mathematics and physics to represent quantities that cannot be represented by real numbers. For example, the square root of a negative number is an imaginary number.</p>

<p>Imaginary numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided like real numbers. However, there are some important differences between the two types of numbers. For example, the product of two imaginary numbers is a real number, and the quotient of two imaginary numbers is a real or imaginary number, depending on the values of the two numbers.</p>

<p>Imaginary numbers can be represented on a complex plane, which is a two-dimensional plane with a real axis and an imaginary axis. The real part of an imaginary number is plotted on the real axis, and the imaginary part of the imaginary number is plotted on the imaginary axis.</p>

<p>Now that, we've an idea about what the real and imaginary numbers are. Let's understand the types of real numbers.</p>

<p><strong>Real numbers are of two types. i.e.</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li>Rational Numbers</li>
	<li>Irrational Numbers</li>
</ol>

<p>So let's start with the rational numbers first.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-3"><strong>Rational Numbers</strong></h2>

<p>The numbers which can be written in the form p/q where p and q are co-prime integers and q ≠ 0. i.e. In decimal form, they are either terminating or recurring numbers. For example, 0.56, 0.45454545...., 4/11, all are rational numbers.</p>

<p>Let’s find out how we can convert a rational number from decimal form to fraction form.</p>

<p><strong>e.g.</strong> Express 0.82828282…. in the form of a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Ans:</strong> Let x = 0.82828282… _____(1)</p>

<p>As the period containing 2 digits, we multiply by 10<sup>2</sup> = 100,</p>

<p>∴ 100x = 82.82828282…. ______(2)</p>

<p>Now, (2) – (1), we get,</p>

<p>⇒ 99x = 82</p>

<p>⇒ x = 82/99</p>

<p>Hence, 0.82828282 can be written as 82/99.</p>

<p>Let's look at one more example.</p>

<p><strong>e.g.</strong> Express 0.024024024024024024….. in the form of a fraction.</p>

<p><strong>Ans:</strong> Let x = 0.024024024024…. ____(1)</p>

<p>As the period is containing 3 digits, we multiply with 10<sup>3</sup> = 1000</p>

<p>∴ 1000x = 24.02404024…. ____(2)</p>

<p>Now, (2) – (1), we get,</p>

<p>⇒ 999x = 24</p>

<p>⇒ x = 24/999 = 8/333.</p>

<p>Hence, 0.024024024024... can be written as 8/333.</p>

<p><strong>Rational numbers can be further classified into two types:</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li>Integers</li>
	<li>Decimals</li>
</ol>

<p>We will discuss it further in detail. But for now, let's look at the other type of the real numbers i.e. <strong>Irrational Numbers</strong>.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-4"><strong>Irrational Numbers</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Irrational numbers</strong> are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. They are often said to have decimal representations that never end or repeat.</p>

<p>In other words, the numbers which cannot be written as p/q are Irrational Numbers. So, in decimal form, these numbers are non-terminating and non-recurring numbers. Some examples of irrational numbers include π, √2, and e.</p>

<p><strong>Here are some of the properties of irrational numbers:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>They cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.</li>
	<li>Their decimal representations never end or repeat.</li>
	<li>They are dense on the number line, meaning that between any two irrational numbers there is always another irrational number.</li>
	<li>They are complete, meaning that every non-empty set of irrational numbers that has an upper bound has a least upper bound.</li>
</ul>

<p>Irrational numbers are also used in many different scientific disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, and engineering.</p>

<p>For example, π is used to calculate the circumference of a circle, and √2 is used to calculate the length of the diagonal of a square.</p>

<p>Irrational numbers are an important part of mathematics and science. They allow us to solve complex problems and to make accurate measurements of the world around us.</p>

<p>Now, let's get back to the types of rational numbers. We will understand <strong>integers</strong> first.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-5"><strong>Integers</strong></h2>

<p>An integer is a number that can be written without a fractional component. For example, 21, 4, 0, and -2048 are integers, while 9.75 and √2 are not.</p>

<p>Integers can be positive, negative, or zero. They are the most basic type of number, and they are used in many different areas of mathematics, including arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.</p>

<p>Integers can be represented on a number line, with the positive integers on the right and the negative integers on the left. Zero is located in the middle of the number line.</p>

<p>Integers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. They can also be compared to each other using the symbols <, >, and =.</p>

<p><strong>Integers can be further classified as:</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li><strong>Negative Integers:</strong> A negative number is an integer that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent quantities that are missing or absent, such as a debt or a loss. For example, a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius is 10 degrees Celsius below freezing. Negative numbers are represented by a minus sign (-) in front of the number. For example, -5 is negative five.</li>
	<li><strong>Natural Numbers (Positive Integers):</strong> Natural numbers are the integers that are more than zero. They are also known as counting numbers or positive integers. Natural numbers start from 1 and go up to infinity. This means that they include all the whole numbers, but not zero.</li>
	<li><strong>0</strong> </li>
	<li><strong>Whole Numbers: </strong>Whole numbers are basically natural numbers, including 0. These are also called non-negative integers.</li>
</ol>

<p>Natural Numbers can also be classified further that we will discuss thoroughly later in this blog. Let's first understand what are<strong> decimals</strong>.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-6"><strong>Decimals</strong></h2>

<p>A decimal is a number that is written with a decimal point. The decimal point separates the whole number part of the number from the fractional part. For example, the decimal number 3.14159 represents the number three and fourteen hundred fifteen thousandths.</p>

<p>Decimals can be used to represent any real number, including integers, fractions, and irrational numbers. They are a convenient way to write numbers that are too large or too small to be written as fractions.</p>

<p><strong>E.g.</strong> 2.332, 0.5, 1.25, 3.14159, -2.3456, 0.00001 are decimal numbers.</p>

<p><strong>Decimals can further be classified as:</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li><strong>Terminating Decimals:</strong> A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. In other words, these numbers end after a fixed number of digits. For example, 0.87, 82.25, 9.527, 224.9803, etc. are all terminating decimals.</li>
	<li><strong>Non-terminating Recurring Decimals: </strong>A non-terminating recurring decimal is a decimal number that has a digit or sequence of digits that repeats endlessly after the decimal point. For example, 0.33333..., 4.65656565..., and 0.171717... are all non-terminating recurring decimals. Non-terminating recurring decimals can be represented as a fraction with a repeating numerator. For example, the non-terminating recurring decimal 0.33333... can be written as the fraction 1/3 and the non-terminating recurring decimal 0.17171717... can be written as the fraction 17/99.</li>
</ol>

<p>So, now we can understand that rational numbers are either integers, terminating decimals or recurring decimals. Hence, those numbers which are neither terminating and non-recurring, are called irrational numbers.</p>

<p>Now let's discuss the Natural Numbers.</p>

<p><strong>Natural Numbers can further be classified as:</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li>Prime Numbers</li>
	<li>Composite Numbers</li>
	<li>1</li>
</ol>

<p>Let's discuss it thoroughly.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-7"><strong>Prime Numbers</strong></h2>

<p>A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct natural number factors (divisors): 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, are prime numbers.</p>

<p>From 1 to 50, we have 15 prime factors. From 1 to 100, we have 25 prime factors. And these are:</p>

<p>2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89 and 97.</p>

<p><strong>Prime numbers have some properties like:</strong></p>

<ol>
	<li>No integer can divide them completely other than 1 and the number itself (that’s why they have only two factors).</li>
	<li>Every prime number should be in the form of [4n + 1 or 4n – 1] for less than 5 and [6n + 1 or 6n – 1] for more than or equal to 5. But the reverse of this statement is not true. e.g. 25 can be written as 6(4) + 1 but it is not a prime number. </li>
	<li>Every integer, greater than 1, can be written as the product of prime numbers. </li>
	<li>2 is the only even number that is prime. [Even numbers are the positive integers that are divisible by 2 i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. We will discuss it thoroughly in the next blog]</li>
</ol>

<p>Since, there is no formula to find out whether a number is prime or not. But for small numbers, we can use this trick:</p>

<p>Take the square root of the number (approximately) and check its divisibility by the prime numbers smaller than its square root. </p>

<p><strong>e.g.</strong> Check whether 97 is a prime number or not.</p>

<p><strong>Ans:</strong> Square root of 97 will be between 9 and 10. So the prime numbers smaller than 9 are 2, 3, 5 and 7. Since 97 is not divisible by any of these, hence it is a prime number.</p>

<p><strong>e.g.</strong> Check whether 91 is a prime number or not.</p>

<p><strong>Ans:</strong> Square root of 91 will be between 9 or 10. So the prime numbers smaller than 9 are 2, 3, 5 and 7. Since 91 is divided by 7 (13 × 7 = 91). 91 is not a prime number.</p>

<p>We will discuss about prime numbers throughout the 'Number System' series as the entire number system is dependent on the properties of prime numbers. And yeah, number system is the basic pillar of the entire mathematics. So you can now understand the importance of this topic.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-1805-8"><strong>Composite Numbers</strong></h2>

<p>Composite Number is a natural non-prime number greater than 1 i.e. all the non-prime numbers greater than 1 are composite numbers. These numbers have more than two factors. In other words, we can say, Composite numbers are the product of prime numbers. 4 is the first composite number. Examples are composite numbers are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc.</p>

<p>Now, let's understand the important thing:</p>

<p><strong>1 is neither Prime nor Composite number</strong>.</p>

<p>Many students get confused about 1, thinking that 1 is a prime number. But no, 1 is neither prime as it doesn't even have two factors and nor composite as it doesn't have more than two factors, obviously.</p>

<p>In conclusion, the classification of numbers serves as the bedrock of mathematics, offering a structured framework to understand the diverse range of numerical values. From natural numbers, which initiate counting, to rational and irrational numbers that span the mathematical landscape, these classifications form the basis for various mathematical operations and real-world applications.</p>

<p>Whether solving complex equations, analyzing data, or exploring the profound mysteries of number theory, a solid grasp of number classification is indispensable. It is not just a mathematical concept but a fundamental tool that empowers individuals to navigate the quantitative world with confidence and precision. Embracing this knowledge is the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of the mathematical universe and its practical significance.</p>

<p>So, this is all for this blog. We will discuss the <a href="https://www.thedhronas.com/blog/learn-the-divisibility-rule-of-numbers-for-wbcs-prelims-exam" target="_blank">Divisibility Rule of numbers</a> in our next blog of this 'Number System' blog series. Till then, keep practicing!</p>

By the end of this blog, you'll be well-equipped to tackle analogy-based questions with confidence and precision, ultimately increasing your chances of acing the WBCS examination.</p>

<p>So, let's dive into the world of analogies and pave the way for your success in the WBCS exam!</p>

<p><img alt="analogy study material for wbcs" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_wbcs_study_material.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<h2 id="content-id-5280-0"><strong>What is Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>Analogy is the chapter of Logical Reasoning which means similarity and correspondence. It shows the similarity between the two things. In this topic, two sets of elements are given, in which the first set of elements has some similarity or relationship with each other, that same similarity will also be followed by another set of elements.</p>

<p>Let us now understand the different types of analogies that we are going to cover in this blog.</p>

<p><strong>Types of Analogy:</strong></p>

<p>1. Letter Analogy</p>

<p>2. Number Analogy</p>

<p>3. Word Analogy (General Knowledge/ Meaning based)</p>

<p>4. Mixed Analogy</p>

<h2 id="content-id-5280-1"><strong>Letter Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second set of letters is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship, you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="Analogy Letter analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_letter_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.</p>

<p>FT : UG :: LV : ?</p>

<p>1.OE  2.OD  3.KE  4.BP</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (1) OE</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The letters in the second element are the opposite of the letters given in the first element.</p>

<p>FT : UG - Opposite letter of F = U; Opposite letter of T = G</p>

<p>Similarly, LV : ? - Opposite letter of L = O; Opposite letter of V = E</p>

<h2 id="content-id-5280-2"><strong>Number Analogy</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="analogy number analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_number_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p>In this type of analogy, there are two sub-types:</p>

<h3><u>Pair - Based</u></h3>

<p>In this type, the second set of numbers is related to the first set of numbers based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.</p>

<p>38 : 121 :: 75 : ?</p>

<p>1.169  2.324  3.144  4.196</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) 144</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The second term is the square of the sum of digits of the number given in the first set.</p>

<p>38 : 121 ⇒ (3 + 8) = 11 ⇒ (11)² = 121</p>

<p>Similarly, 75 : ? ⇒ 7 + 5 = 12 ⇒ (12)² = 144</p>

<h3><u>Similarity - Based</u></h3>

<p>There is another sub-type in which a set of numbers is given in the question. You need to find another set that is based on a similar pattern from the given options.</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.</p>

<p>(33, 75, 18)</p>

<p>1.(24, 62, 19)  2.(31, 13, 04)  3.(27, 13, 13)  4.None of the above</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) (27, 13, 13)</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The third number in the set is the sum of all the digits i.e. first as well as the second number.</p>

<p>(33, 75, 18): First number = 33; Second number = 75</p>

<p>3 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 18</p>

<p>Similarly, (27, 13, 13): First number = 27; Second number = 13</p>

<p>2 + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13</p>

<h2 id="content-id-5280-3"><strong>Word Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second term is related to the first term either based on General Knowledge (Country, Capital, Currency, Animals and their young ones, etc.) or based on meaning (synonyms, antonyms, etc.). Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="analogy word analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_word_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<h3><u>GK - Based</u></h3>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.</p>

<p>Acrophobia : Height :: Nyctophobia : ?</p>

<p>1.Fire  2.Air  3.Darkness  4.Light</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) Darkness</strong></p>

<p>Logic: Acrophobia is the fear of Height. Similarly, Nyctophobia is the fear of darkness.</p>

<h3><u>Meaning - Based</u></h3>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.</p>

<p>Shortest : Tallest :: Coward : ?</p>

<p>1.Brave  2.Greatest  3.Minimum  4.None of the above</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (1) Brave</strong></p>

<p>Logic: Tallest is the opposite of the Shortest. Similarly, Brave is the opposite of Coward.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-5280-4"><strong>Mixed Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second set may contain a pair of letters or mixed element (letter and number) that is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="analogy mixed analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_mixed_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.</p>

<p>BT : 05 :: VP : ?</p>

<p>1.6  2.4  3.3  4.11</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (4) 11</strong></p>

<p>Logic: 2nd term = absolute difference between the positional value of the opposite of the first letter and the positional value of the second letter.</p>

<p>BT : 05</p>

<p>Opposite of B = Y; Positional value of Y = 25; Positional value of T = 20</p>

<p>So, 25 - 20 = 05</p>

<p>Similarly, VP : ?</p>

<p>Opposite of V = E; Positional value of E = 05; Positional value of P = 16</p>

<p>So, 16 - 05 = 11</p>

<p>Now that you have learned the basic concepts of Reasoning Analogy, let us test the learning so far by practicing some questions. Given below are Analogy Practice Questions followed by detailed solutions to each question. You should first try to solve all the questions yourself, and go through the solutions at the very end, to build a better understanding.

<h2><strong>What is Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>Analogy is the chapter of Logical Reasoning which means similarity and correspondence. It shows the similarity between the two things. In this topic, two sets of elements are given, in which the first set of elements has some similarity or relationship with each other, that same similarity will also be followed by another set of elements.</p>

<p>Let us now understand the different types of analogies that we are going to cover in this blog.</p>

<p><strong>Types of Analogy:</strong></p>

<p>1. Letter Analogy</p>

<p>2. Number Analogy</p>

<p>3. Word Analogy (General Knowledge/ Meaning based)</p>

<p>4. Mixed Analogy</p>

<h2><strong>Letter&nbsp;Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second set of letters is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship, you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="Analogy Letter analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_letter_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.</p>

<p>FT : UG :: LV : ?</p>

<p>1.OE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.OD&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.KE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.BP</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (1) OE</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The letters in the second element are the opposite of the letters given in the first element.</p>

<p>FT : UG - Opposite letter of F = U; Opposite letter of T = G</p>

<p>Similarly, LV : ? - Opposite letter of L = O; Opposite letter of V = E</p>

<h2><strong>Number&nbsp;Analogy</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="analogy number analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_number_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p>In this type of analogy, there are two sub-types:</p>

<h3><u>Pair - Based</u></h3>

<p>In this type, the second set of numbers is related to the first set of numbers based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Choose the fourth element which is related to the third element in the same way as the second element is related to the first element.</p>

<p>38 : 121 :: 75 : ?</p>

<p>1.169&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.324&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.144&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.196</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) 144</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The second term is the square of the sum of digits of the number given in the first set.</p>

<p>38 : 121 &rArr; (3 + 8) = 11 &rArr; (11)&sup2; = 121</p>

<p>Similarly, 75 : ? &rArr; 7 + 5 = 12 &rArr; (12)&sup2; = 144</p>

<h3><u>Similarity - Based</u></h3>

<p>There is another sub-type in which a set of numbers is given in the question. You need to find another set that is based on a similar pattern from the given options.</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.</p>

<p>(33, 75, 18)</p>

<p>1.(24, 62, 19)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.(31, 13, 04)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.(27, 13, 13)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.None of the above</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) (27, 13, 13)</strong></p>

<p>Logic: The third number in the set is the sum of all the digits i.e. first as well as the second number.</p>

<p>(33, 75, 18): First number = 33; Second number = 75</p>

<p>3 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 18</p>

<p>Similarly, (27, 13, 13): First number = 27; Second number = 13</p>

<p>2 + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13</p>

<h2><strong>Word&nbsp;Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second term is related to the first term either based on General Knowledge (Country, Capital, Currency, Animals and their young ones, etc.) or based on meaning (synonyms, antonyms, etc.). Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="analogy word analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_word_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<h3><u>GK - Based</u></h3>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.</p>

<p>Acrophobia : Height :: Nyctophobia : ?</p>

<p>1.Fire&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.Air&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.Darkness&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.Light</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (3) Darkness</strong></p>

<p>Logic: Acrophobia is the fear of Height. Similarly, Nyctophobia is the fear of darkness.</p>

<h3><u>Meaning - Based</u></h3>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives.</p>

<p>Shortest : Tallest :: Coward : ?</p>

<p>1.Brave&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.Greatest&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.Minimum&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.None of the above</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (1) Brave</strong></p>

<p>Logic: Tallest is the opposite of the Shortest. Similarly, Brave is the opposite of Coward.</p>

<h2><strong>Mixed&nbsp;Analogy</strong></h2>

<p>In this type of analogy, the second set may contain a pair of letters or mixed element (letter and number) that is related to the first set of letters based on a certain similarity. Considering that relationship you have to find another set that follows a similar pattern.</p>

<p><img alt="analogy mixed analogy" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/analogy_mixed_analogy.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p><strong>Example</strong>: Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.</p>

<p>BT : 05 :: VP : ?</p>

<p>1.6&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.4&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.3&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4.11</p>

<p><strong>Solution: (4) 11</strong></p>

<p>Logic: 2nd term = absolute difference between the positional value of the opposite of the first letter and the positional value of the second letter.</p>

<p>BT : 05</p>

<p>Opposite of B = Y; Positional value of Y = 25; Positional value of T = 20</p>

<p>So, 25 - 20 = 05</p>

<p>Similarly, VP : ?</p>

<p>Opposite of V = E; Positional value of E = 05; Positional value of P = 16</p>

<p>So, 16 - 05 = 11</p>

<p>Now that you have learned&nbsp;the basic concepts of Reasoning Analogy, let us test the learning so far by practicing some questions. Given below Analogy Practice Questions followed by detailed solutions to each question. You should first try to solve all the questions yourself, and go through the solutions at the very end, to build a better understanding. This way, you will be able to assess your progress in a&nbsp;much better way.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-6521-0"><strong>What is Arithmetic Reasoning?</strong></h2>

<p>Arithmetic Reasoning is a cognitive and problem-solving skill that involves the ability to analyze and comprehend numerical information, perform mathematical operations, and make logical deductions based on given numerical data.</p>

<p>Arithmetic Reasoning can be asked in two forms:</p>

<p>1. Word Problems</p>

<p>2. Symbol and Notation</p>

<h2 id="content-id-6521-1"><strong>Arithmetic Reasoning - Word Problems</strong></h2>

<p>In Word Problems based Arithmetic Reasoning, problems based on Age, Ratio and Proportion, Income and Expenditure, Profit and Loss and other data based questions are asked. Students need to solve these questions by using rules of mathematics.</p>

<p><img alt="arithmetic reasoning word problems" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/arithmetic_reasoning_word_problem.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<h2 id="content-id-6521-2"><strong>Arithmetic Reasoning - Symbol and Notation</strong></h2>

<p>Symbol and Notation is the part of arithmetic reasoning, where mathematical operations deal with operators of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. These are the basic operation and also having less than, greater than, equal sign operators.</p>

<p><img alt="arithmetic reasoning symbol and notation" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/arithmetic_reasoning_symbol_and_notation.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px"></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p>The Symbol and Notation Based Type is again sub divided into the following:</p>

<h2 id="content-id-6521-3"><strong>Sign Interchange based Symbol & Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of question, one equation is given, in which we have to interchange some signs with each other in order to equate LHS and RHS.</p>

<p><strong>Example: </strong>Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?<br>
14 + 12 × 18 ÷ 6 – 12 = 6</p>

<p><strong>Solution: ÷ and ×</strong><br>
The expression becomes: 14 + 12 ÷ 18 × 6 – 12<br>
⇒ 6 is equal to 6.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-6521-4"><strong>Number Interchange based Symbol & Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of question, one equation is given, in which we have to interchange some numbers with each other in order to equate LHS and RHS.</p>

<p><strong>Example: </strong>Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?<br>
27 + 11 × 9 – 36 ÷ 4 = 67</p>

<p><strong>Solution:</strong> After replacement, the equation becomes<br>

<h2><strong>What is Arithmetic Reasoning?</strong></h2>

<p>Arithmetic Reasoning is a cognitive and problem-solving skill that involves the ability to analyze and comprehend numerical information, perform mathematical operations, and make logical deductions based on given numerical data.</p>

<p>Arithmetic Reasoning can be asked in two forms:</p>

<p>1. Word Problems</p>

<p>2. Symbol and Notation</p>

<h2><strong>Arithmetic Reasoning - Word Problems</strong></h2>

<p>In Word Problems based Arithmetic Reasoning,&nbsp;problems based on Age, Ratio and Proportion, Income and Expenditure, Profit and Loss and other data based questions are asked. Students need to solve these questions by using rules of mathematics.</p>

<p><img alt="arithmetic reasoning word problems" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/arithmetic_reasoning_word_problem.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<h2><strong>Arithmetic Reasoning - Symbol and Notation</strong></h2>

<p>Symbol and Notation is the part of arithmetic reasoning, where mathematical operations deal with operators of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. These are the basic operation and also having less than, greater than, equal sign operators.</p>

<p><img alt="arithmetic reasoning symbol and notation" src="https://www.thedhronas.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/arithmetic_reasoning_symbol_and_notation.webp" style="height:338px; width:600px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10px">[Source: The Dhronas]</span></p>

<p>The Symbol and Notation Based Type is again sub divided into the following:</p>

<h2><strong>Sign Interchange based Symbol &amp; Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of question, one equation is&nbsp;given, in which we have to interchange some signs with each&nbsp;other in order to equate LHS and RHS.</p>

<p><strong>Example: </strong>Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?<br />
14 + 12 &times; 18 &divide; 6 &ndash; 12 = 6</p>

<p><strong>Solution: &divide; and &times;</strong><br />
The expression becomes: 14 + 12 &divide; 18 &times; 6 &ndash; 12<br />
&rArr; 6 is equal to 6.</p>

<h2><strong>Number Interchange based Symbol &amp; Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of question, one equation is given, in which we have to interchange some numbers with each other in order to equate LHS and RHS.</p>

<p><strong>Example: </strong>Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?<br />
27 + 11 &times; 9 &ndash; 36 &divide; 4 = 67</p>

<p><strong>Solution:</strong> After replacement, the equation becomes<br />
27 + 11 &times; 4 - 36 &divide; 9<br />
&rArr; 67 = 67</p>

<h2><strong>Sign Fill-Up based Symbol &amp; Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of question, one equation is given, in which you have to fill appropriate signs, in order to equate LHS and RHS.</p>

<p><strong>Example:</strong> Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the given equation.<br />
16 * 6 * 4 * 24</p>

<p><strong>Solution: &times; &divide; =</strong><br />
Given equation: 16 * 6 * 4 = 24<br />
After replacement the equation becomes: 16 &times; 6 &divide; 4 = 24<br />
&rArr; 24 = 24</p>

<h2><strong>Coded Equation</strong>&nbsp;<strong>based Symbol &amp; Notation</strong></h2>

<p>In such type of questions, the symbols are coded with another new symbols and students have to solve the equation using those new symbols in equation.</p>

<p><strong>Example:</strong> In a certain code, + represent multiply, &ndash; represent plus, &times; represent divide and &divide; represent minus.<br />
Then what is the value of 23 + 5 - 85 &times; 5 + 18 &divide; 6 + 20</p>

<p><strong>Solution:</strong> 23 + 5 - 85 &times; 5 + 18 &divide; 6 + 20<br />
After replacing the signs: 23 &times; 5 + 85 &divide; 5 &times; 18 - 6 &times; 20<br />
115 + 17 &times; 18 - 120<br />
115 + 306 - 120<br />
421 - 120 = 301</p>

According to the question;<br />
15 + x = 3 (age of Anusri)<br />
15 + x = 3 (x - 11)<br />
x = 24<br />

<h2 id="content-id-12583-0"><strong>What is One Word Substitution?</strong></h2>

<p>This type of question asks you to replace a given phrase or sentence by one word. This word describes the entire phrase or sentence.</p>

<p>For example – She talks very less and mostly keeps to herself.</p>

<p>This sentence can be rewritten as – ‘She is an introvert’. ‘Introvert’ means a shy person; one who talks less, etc.</p>

<p><strong>Question -</strong> Select the word which means the same as the group of words given - ‘One who can use either hand with ease’</p>

<p>1. Bilateral <strong> </strong></p>

<p><strong>2. Ambidextrous</strong></p>

<p>For example – The root word ‘pseudo’ means ‘not genuine or sham’.</p>

<p>Let us look at some examples –</p>

<p>i. Pseudonym – pseudo + nym = fake/fictitious + name = a fictitious name</p>

<p>ii. Pseudoscience – Beliefs mistakenly regarded as based on scientific evidence</p>

<p>iii. Pseudointellectual – A person who is pretentiously intelligent or thought to be intelligent</p>

<p>Let us take another root word – ‘Mono’ which means ‘one/ single’</p>

<p>i. Monopoly – When one single party/group exercises excessive possession of control of trade</p>

<p>ii. Monogamy – Practice of marrying one person at a time</p>

<p>Additionally, it's essential to understand that the cutoffs mentioned above are intended for reference only. Therefore, they serve as a guide to provide you with an idea of what to expect for the upcoming WBCS Cut off 2023. Use this data to set your target score accordingly. Having discussed the WBCS Cut off 2023 and examined previous years' trends, let's now explore the factors influencing the WBCS Cut off 2023. Furthermore, these cutoffs are officially released on the WBPSC website.</p>

<h2 id="content-id-27032-3"><strong>Factors Affecting WBCS Cut off 2023</strong></h2>

<p>Next, the key elements significantly influencing the WBCS Cut off 2023 include:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Candidate's Performance: </strong>Above all, the cut off marks are shaped by the collective performance of candidates in the examination. Elevated average performance can result in elevated cut-off scores.</li>
	<li><strong>Exam Difficulty Level</strong>: Furthermore, the level of difficulty in the WBCS 2023 examination can have an effect on the cut off marks. If the exam is relatively straightforward, the cut off scores may be raised, and conversely, they may be lowered if the exam is challenging.</li>
	<li><strong>Number of Vacancies:</strong> Additionally, the number of vacancies significantly influences the establishment of cut off marks. When there are only a limited number of vacancies, the competition intensifies, and as a result, the cut off may be elevated to ensure the selection of the most qualified candidates.</li>
	<li><strong>Historical WBCS Cut off Scores: </strong>Furthermore, the cut off marks from past years of the WBCS can serve as a point of reference in establishing the cut offs for the current year.</li>
	<li><strong>Reservation Policy: </strong>Finally, the government's policy of allocating reserved quotas for various categories (General, OBC, SC, ST) also exerts an influence on the cut off marks set for each respective category.</li>

<p>Additionally, it&#39;s essential to understand that the cutoffs mentioned above are intended for reference only. Therefore, they serve as a guide to provide you with an idea of what to expect for the upcoming WBCS Cut off&nbsp;2023. Use this data to set your target score accordingly.

Furthermore, these cutoffs are officially released on the WBPSC website.</p>

<h2><strong>Factors Affecting WBCS&nbsp;Cut off&nbsp;2023</strong></h2>

<p>Next, the key elements significantly influencing the WBCS Cut off 2023 include:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Candidate&#39;s Performance: </strong>Above all, the cut off marks are shaped by the collective performance of candidates in the examination. Elevated average performance can result in elevated cut-off scores.</li>
	<li><strong>Exam Difficulty Level</strong>: Furthermore, the level of difficulty in the WBCS 2023 examination can have an effect on the cut off marks. If the exam is relatively straightforward, the cut off scores may be raised, and conversely, they may be lowered if the exam is challenging.</li>
	<li><strong>Number of Vacancies:</strong> Additionally, the number of vacancies significantly influences the establishment of cut off marks. When there are only a limited number of vacancies, the competition intensifies, and as a result, the cut off may be elevated to ensure the selection of the most qualified candidates.</li>
	<li><strong>Historical WBCS Cut off Scores: </strong>Furthermore, the cut off marks from past years of the WBCS can serve as a point of reference in establishing the cut offs for the current year.</li>
	<li><strong>Reservation Policy: </strong>Finally, the government&#39;s policy of allocating reserved quotas for various categories (General, OBC, SC, ST) also exerts an influence on the cut off marks set for each respective category.</li>
