HOW TO ROUGHLY CHECK YOUR INCOME TAX STATEMENT

DIGIT SUM: We should know first, what is digit sum?
Take 81245. Add all digits.
8+1+2+4+5 = 20 Again add 2+0 = 2. Hence 2 is the digit sum of 81245. By repeatedly adding digits; till we reach a single digit, we get digit - sum.

Note : In a number, we can ignore 'nines' and the digits which add up to nine. They will not have any effect on the calculation of digit-sum.

For example; in 7295, 7,2 and 9 can be ignored, and the digit-sum is just 5.
In usual method 7+2+9+5 =23=2+3=5, Also we get 5.

To verify multiplication
7195*4321 = 31089595
Find the digit-sum of each of the above numbers
4 * 1 = 4
Hence verified. So the rule is; 'The digit-sum of the multiplicand when multiplied with the digit-sum of the multiplier should equal to the digit-sum of the product'.

TO VERIFY DIVISION
5046/42 = 120; REMINDER 6 , WE KNOW 5046 = 120*42 +6
DIVIDEND = DIVISOR * QUOTIENT + REMINDER
Now we will use digit-sums and verify.
6 = 3* 6+ 6
AGAIN DIGIT- SUM
6 = 6 checked.

Next addition,
3475+9892 + 7461 = 20828 using digit sum
1 + 1 + 9 = 2
2 = 2
it is Ok.

Similarly, we can verify squaring, square root, cube, cube rooting.
" When the sum-digits does not match, we can say the answer is 100 % wrong."

But when the sum_digits matches, the answer is mostly correct and NOT 100% CORRECT. We have to employ a few more techniques to confirm the answers.

1. 7212 *3982, these two numbers can be taken as 7000 and 4000. Hence the answer should be around 28000000.
2. The answer should have eight digits.
3. The last digit of the answers must be 4 (2*2 =4)
Intuitively, we can employ techniques like this and check the answers.

The rough and fast checking is useful for students giving competitive exams; the executives verifying 'typo' in a balance sheet; etc.,
This method belongs to vedic mathematics

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python" A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess. It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being. The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment". Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive. Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers. Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured. We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same. White flowers can thrive in hot climate. But dark flowers requires cold climate. The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist. This is the essence of "Gaia" theory. On our earth, the oxygen constitute 20% of the atmosphere. The oxygen level is always mai

THE PARABOLA

A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path. What is the so special about parabola. Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation. It will result in a parabola. This parabola is also called unit parabola. Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example: Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation) X= 2 and -2, both satisfies the equation 4 = X^2. Parabolic equations always have two solutions. Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples: An object dropped from a moving train, A bomb dropped from flying plane, A ball kicked upwards. If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point. This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc. Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges. Because the shape is able to bear more weight. A plane

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

Imagine a balloon full of air. The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon. Let us pierce the balloon with a pin. The air rushes out. Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole? That is not the way the world works. The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible". Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume. The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time. The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics". Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze. Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement. It violates the second law. Hence it will never happen. Hence heat must flow from high temperature to low temperature and not the other way. The air molecules in y
