MATHEMATICS PERCENTAGE LEARN

What is the meaning of percent?

The terms percent means “for every hundred”. A fraction whose denominator is 100 is called percentage and
the numerator of the fraction is called the rate percent. Thus, when we say a man made a profit of 20 percent
we mean to say that he gained Rs. 20 for every hundred rupees he invested in the business, i.e. 20/100
rupees for each Rupee.
The abbreviation of percent is p.c. and it is generally denoted by %.

Ex.1 84% of a particular total is 630 marks. What is 90% equal to?
(1) 750 (2) 675 (3) 450 (4) 550 (5) None of these

Sol. The required answer is
84
90 × 630 = 675. Answer: (2)

Ex.2 Two numbers are greater than the third number by 25% and 20% respectively. What percent of
first number is the second number?
(1) 92% (2) 94 % (3) 96 % (4) 98 % (5) None of these
Sol. Assume the third number is 100. So the first number is 125 and the second number is 120.
So the required answer is
125
120 × 100 = 96%. Answer: (3)

Basics
(a) Percentage and Fraction Equivalents:
If some one asks you to represent 50% in fractions then what will you do?
Certainly, you will come with the answer
2

1 . What this value actually represents? This is nothing but the
fractional equivalent of the given percentage. From CAT point of view it is very
important for us to mug up fractional equivalent of the percentages.

Brief Introduction of Data Science !

  What is Data Science? Data science is a deep study of the massive amount of data, which involves extracting meaningful insights from raw, structured, and unstructured data that is processed using the scientific method, different technologies, and algorithms. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses tools and techniques to manipulate the data so that you can find something new and meaningful. Data science uses the most powerful hardware, programming systems, and most efficient algorithms to solve the data related problems. It is the future of artificial intelligence. In short, we can say that data science is all about: Asking the correct questions and analyzing the raw data. Modeling the data using various complex and efficient algorithms. Visualizing the data to get a better perspective. Understanding the data to make better decisions and finding the final result. Example: Let suppose we want to travel from station A to station B by car. Now, we need to take some decisions such ...

Brief of Large Language Model !

  A large language model refers to a type of artificial intelligence (AI) model that has been trained on a vast amount of textual data to understand and generate human-like text. These models use deep learning techniques, particularly deep neural networks, to process and analyze language patterns, semantics, and grammar. Large language models, such as GPT-3.5 from OpenAI, are designed to handle a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including text generation, translation, summarization, question answering, and more. They can understand and generate coherent text based on the context provided to them. These models are trained on massive datasets that contain a diverse range of text sources, such as books, articles, websites, and other written materials. During training, the models learn to identify patterns, extract information, and generate relevant responses or text based on the input they receive. Large language models have the potential to assist with various tasks,...
