Addition consecutive numbers shortcut tricks

Example 1: Find the addition of consecutive  number from 23 to 29?

Ans:
Step 1: At first we add the smallest number to biggest number in the given group. Result is 23 + 29 =52.
Step 2: Then multiplication the result with amount of numbers in the given group of numbers 52 x 7 = 364.
Step 3: At we last divide the resultant product by 2, 364 / 2 = 182.

So the addition of  all numbers in group from 23 to 29 is 182.

Example 2: Find the addition of consecutive  number from 79 to 89?

Ans:
Step 1: At first we add the smallest number to biggest number in the given group. Result is 79 + 89 =168.
Step 2: Then multiplication the result with amount of numbers in the given group of numbers 168 x 11 = 1848.
Step 3: At we last divide the resultant product by 2, 1848 / 2 = 924.

So the addition of  all numbers in group from 79 to 89 is 924.

Example 3: Find the addition of consecutive  number from 56 to 69?

Ans:
Step 1: At first we add the smallest number to biggest number in the given group. Result is 56 + 69 =125.
Step 2: Then multiplication the result with amount of numbers in the given group of numbers 125 x 14 = 1750.
Step 3: At we last divide the resultant product by 2, 1750 / 2 = 875.

So the addition of  all numbers in group from 56 to 69 is 875.

Example 4: Find the addition of consecutive  number from 33 to 44?

Ans:
Step 1: At first we add the smallest number to biggest number in the given group. Result is 33 + 44 =77.
Step 2: Then multiplication the result with amount of numbers in the given group of numbers 77 x 12 = 924.
Step 3: At we last divide the resultant product by 2, 924 / 2 = 462.

So the addition of  all numbers in group from 33 to 44 is 462.

Example 5: Find the addition of consecutive  number from 82 to 99?

Ans:
Step 1: At first we add the smallest number to biggest number in the given group. Result is 82 + 99 =181.
Step 2: Then multiplication the result with amount of numbers in the given group of numbers 181x 18 = 3258.
Step 3: At we last divide the resultant product by 2, 364 / 2 = 1629.

So the addition of  all numbers in group from 82 to 99 is 1629.
Addition combination of decimal and whole number Tricks

Example 1:

3.3 + 3.33 + 3.333 + 3.3333=?
The result of the addition is 3.3 + 3.33 + 3.333 + 3.3333 = 13.2963.

Shortcut Tricks

Step 1: At First we can calculate the Decimal number 3 ( 0.4321 ) =1.2963
Step 2: In Step 2 we can calculate the Whole numbers that is maximum number 3 digits is
= 3+3+3+3 So, 3 x 4 = 12
Step 3: Now we can add both result of step 1 and Step 2 = ( 1.2963 + 12 ) = 13.2963.

Example 2:

5.5 + 5.55 + 5.555 + 5.5555 + 5.55555
The result of the addition is 5.5 + 5.55 + 5.555 + 5.5555 + 5.55555 =27.71605.

Shortcut Tricks

Step 1: At First we can calculate the Decimal number 5 ( 0.54321 ) =2.71605
Step 2: In Step 2 we can calculate the Whole numbers that is maximum number 5 digits is
= 5+5+5+5+5 So, 5 x 5 = 25
Step 3: Now we can add both result of step 1 and Step 2 = ( 25 + 2.71605 ) = 27.71605.

Example 3:

7.7+7.77+7.777+7.7777+7.77777+7.777777

Without seeking vengeance or being aggressive, a satyagrahi could win the battle through non- violence. This could be done by appealing to the conscience of the oppressor. People – including the oppressors – had to be persuaded to see the truth, instead of being forced to accept truth through the use of violence. By this struggle, truth was bound to ultimately triumph. Mahatma Gandhi believed that this
dharma of non-violence could unite all Indians.”Primary Source: Page 55, India and the Contemporary

Excretory System

Excretion : Removal of nitrogenous substances formed during metabolism from the body of human is called excretion. Normally excretion means the release of nitrogenous excretory substances like urea, ammonia, uric acid etc.

The main excretory organs of human are as follows –

(i) Kidneys

The main excretory organ in human and other mammals is a pair of kidneys. Its weight is 140 grams.There are two parts of it. Outer part is called cortex and the inner part is called medulla.Each kidney is made up of approximately 1,30,00000 kidney ducts which are called nephrons.Nephron is the structural & functional unit of the kidney.There is a cup like structure in the every nephron called Bowman's capsule.Glomerulus of thin blood vessels are  found in the Bowman's capsule which is made up of two types of arterioles.

(i) Afferent arteriole : Which carries the blood to the glomerulus.

(ii) Efferent arteriole : By which the blood is taken out of the glomerulus.

The process of filtration of liquids into the cavity of Bowman's capsule, is calledultra filtration.The main function of the kidneys is purification of blood plasma i.e. to excrete the unwanted nitrogenous waste substance through urination.The supply of blood to kidneys takes place in large quantity in comparison to other organs.In the kidneys average 125 ml per minute blood is filtrated i.e. 180 litres per day. Out of it 1.45 liters urine is formed daily and the remaining is absorbed back by the cells of nephron and mix into the blood.In the normal urine there is 95% water, 2% salt, 2.7% urea and 0.3% uric acid.The colour of the urine is light yellow due to the presence of urochromes in it. Urochrome is formed by the dissociation of haemoglobin.Urine is acidic. Its pH value is 6.The stone formed in the kidney is made up of calcium oxalate.

(ii) Skin : Oil gland and sweat glandsfound in the skin respectively secretes sebum and sweat.

(ii) Liver : Liver cells play the main role in excretion by converting more and more amino acids and ammonia of blood into urea.
