a) Goods and Service Tax [GST]
What is GST
GST is a comprehensive tax levy on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and service at a national level under which no distinction is made between goods and services for levying of tax. It substitutes all the indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Central and State government in India. GST is a tax on goods and services under which every person is liable to pay tax on his output and is entitled to get Input Tax Credit, (ITC) on the tax paid on its inputs and ultimately the final consumer shall bear the tax.
Objective of GST One of the main objective of GST is to eliminate the double taxation on production and
distribution cost of goods and services. The exclusion of cascading effects, that is, tax on tax till the level of final consumers will significantly improve the competitiveness of original goods and
services in market which will have a beneficial impact on the GDP of the country.
Worldwide GST France was the first country to introduce GST in 1954. GST rates of seven countries are mentioned below:
![Mathematics Formulas ICSE Class 10 Chapter Wise](https://www.icseboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/image-1682.png)
GST Computation
Applicable GST rates in India are 5%, 12%, 18% or 28%.
Say, goods are sold at the rate of Rs.500. GST rate is 18%. Then Gross amount of the goods is
= 500 + [500 ×(18/100) ] = Rs.590.
Types of Problems Included in syllabus
i) Computation of tax including discounts
ii) List-price
iii) Profit and Loss
iv) Basic / Cost Price including inverse cases
Formulae
Add GST
GST Amount = Original Cost × GST % / 100
Net Price = Original Cost + GST Amount
Remove GST
GST Amount = Original Cost –[ Original Cost × (100 / 100+GST)]
Net Price = Original Cost – GST Amount
b) Banking
Types of accounts
i) SB = Savings accounts in which simple interest is offered.
ii) FD = Fixed Deposit, that is, a sum of money is deposited for a fixed period, and so more rate of interest is offered.
iii) RD = Recurring Deposit, that is, certain fixed sum is deposited every month, and interest rate offered is usually more than SB, but less than FD.
Formulae 1. For SB account simple interest (SI) is offered.
SI = P x R x T / 100
where P = Principal amount, R = rate of interest, T = Time.
For Recurring Deposit Account
Matured Amount = Total sum deposit + Interest on it
![Mathematics Formulas ICSE Class 10 Chapter Wise](https://www.icseboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/image-1685.png)
where P = Each Installment, r = rate per annum, n = number of months
(The sum of Natural Numbers: S = 1 + 2 + 3 + – – – + N = N( N+1) /2 )
MV = P(n) + I,
Where MV = Matured Value, P(n) = Total Sum Deposited, I = Interest

3. Investment = No. of Shares X MV per share
4. Total Nominal Value= No. of Shares X FV per shares
5. Dividend (Income) = NV/MV × Investment × Dividend%
6. Sales proceeds = No. of Shares X Selling Price of Each Share
7. Rate of Dividend = Profit % or Yield % or Return% = Income / Investment x 100
8. Earning = NV/MV × Investment × Rate of Dividend
9. For better investment, compare the Yield% of both shares
10. Discount Shares means Market Value < Face value

Theorem
• Factor Theorem
When a polynomial f(x) is divided by x – a, the remainder = f (a). And, if remainder f(a)= 0; x – a is a factor of polynomial f(x). OR if (x – a) is a factor, the remainder is 0.
• Remainder Theorem
If f(x) is a polynomial, an expression with variable ‘x’ and is divided by (x– a); the remainder
is the value of f(x) at x = a. i.e. the remainder is f(a)
• Complete factorizing
Let f(x) be a Polynomial, divided by g(x), quotient be q(x), which leaves a remainder r(x).
Then f(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x).
That is, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

f) Arithmetic and Geometric Progression
Types of Problems Included in syllabus
i) Finding the general term
ii) Finding sum of the first n’ terms
iii) Simple Application
Arithmetic Progression
If you have the sequence 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, then each term is 6 more than the previous term. This is an example of an arithmetic progression (AP) and the constant value that defines the difference between any two consecutive terms is called the common difference.
Formulae
1. Finding their General Terms
If an arithmetic difference has a first term a and a common difference of d, then we can write a,
(a + d), (a + 2d) … {a + (n-1) d}
where the nth term = a + (n−1) d
2. Finding the Sum of First nTH terms
Sum of Arithmetic series
The sum of an arithmetic series of n terms is found by making n/2 pairs each with the value of the sum of the first and last term.
This gives us the formula:
Sn =n/2 (a+1)
where a = first term and l= last term.
As the last term is the nth term = a + (n − 1) d we can rewrite this as:
Sn =n/2 (2a + (n-1)d)
3. Simple Applications
Use the first formula if you know the first and last terms; use the second if you know the first term and the common difference.
Geometric Progression Geometric Sequence is a sequence such that any element after the first is obtained by
multiplying the preceding element by a constant called the Common Ratio which is denoted by ‘r’. The common ratio (r) is obtained by dividing any term by the preceding term, that is –
r = a2 /a1 or a2 /a2
so, r= an / an-1
where, r = common ratio,
a1= first term
a2= second term
a3= third term, and
So, Tn= nth term.
Thus, Geometric Sequence is called the Geometric Progression, in short, GP.
Example:
The sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, – – – is a geometric sequence.
Here, a = 1, r = 2/1 = 2,
or, r = 4/2 = 2 etc.
The geometric sequence has its sequence formation:
a1, a1r, a1r2, a1r3, – – -, a1rn-1 , a1rn.
Formulae
- 1. Common Term = an= a1rn-1
- 2. Sum of nth Term = Sn= a1 (1-rn) / 1-r , when r < 1
- 3. Also, Sn= a1 (rn -1 ) / r-1 , when r > 1
Linear Inequations:
✔ The signs >,< ≥ are ≤ called signs of inequality.
✔ On transferring +ve term becomes –ve and vice versa.
✔ If each term is multiplied or divided by +ve number, the sign of inequality remains the same.
✔ The sign of inequality reverses:
⩥ If each term is multiplied or divided by same negative number.
⩥ If the sign of each term on both the sides of an inequation is changed.
⩥ On taking reciprocals of both sides, in case both the sides are positive or negative.
✔ Always, write the solution set for the inequation, e.g.,{x : x≤3, x ∈ N}, solution set = {1, 2, 3}
✔ To represent the solution on a number line:
⩥ Put arrow sign on both the ends of the line and keep extra integers beyond the range.
⩥ Use dark dots on the line for each element of N, W and Z.
⩥ For Q, R: mark range with solid circle ⚫ (for ≥ or ≤), hollow circle ⚪ (for < and >.)
✔ “and” means Intersection ( only common elements of the sets).
✔ “or” means Union(all elements of the sets without repetition).

2. Some useful results:
a) (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
b) (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab
c) a2 – b2= (a + b) (a – b)
d) (a + b)2 – (a – b)2 = 4ab
e) (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
f) (a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab(a – b)
g) (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

Ratio and Proportion:
• A ratio is a comparison of the sizes of two or more quantities of the same kind by division. Since ratio is a number, so it has no units.
• To find the ratio between two quantities, change them to the same units.
• To compare two ratios, convert them into like fractions.
• In the ratio, a : b, a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.
![Mathematics Formulas ICSE Class 10 Chapter Wise](https://www.icseboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/image-553.png)
• Compound ratio of a : b and c : d is (a × c) : (b × d)
• Duplicate ratio of a : b is a2 : b2
• Triplicate ratio of a : b is a3 : b3
• Sub-duplicate ratio of a : b is √a: √b
• Sub-triplicate ratio of a : b is :
• Reciprocal ratio of a : b is 3√a: 3√b
• Proportion- An equality of two ratios is called a proportion. Written as: a : b :: c : d or a/b = c/d
• Product of extreme terms = product of middle terms, if a, b, c, d are in proportion then ad = bc
• Continued Proportion- a : b :: b : c or a : b = b : c ; mean proportion (b) =√ab
• Invertendo – If a : b = c : d, then b : a = d : c
• Alternendo – If a : b = c : d, then a : c = b : d
• Componendo – If a : b = c : d, then a + b : b = c + d : d
• Dividendo – If a : b = c : d, then a – b : b = c – d : d
• Componendo and Dividendo – If a : b = c : d, then a + b : a – b = c + d : c – d
Remainder and Factor Theorem:
1. If f (x) is a polynomial, which is divisible by (x – a), a ∈ R, then the remainder is f (a).
2. If the remainder on dividing a polynomial f (x) by (x – a), f (a) = 0, then (x – a) is a factor of f (x).
3. When f (x) is divided by (ax + b), then remainder is f (-b/a), a ≠ 0
4. When f (x) is divided by (ax – b), then remainder is f ,(b/a) a 0
Matrices:
1. A rectangular arrangement of numbers, in the form of horizontal (rows) and vertical lines (columns) is called a matrix. Each number of a matrix is called its element. The elements of a matrix are enclosed in brackets [ ].
2. The order of a matrix = No. of rows × No. of columns

Geometry
a) Similarity of triangle
If two triangles are similar then, ratio of their sides are equal.

Probability:
• Probability is a measure of uncertainty.
• An Experiment is an action which results in some (well-defined) outcomes.
• Sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment. n(S)
• An Event is a subset of the sample space associated with a random experiment. n(E)
• An Event occurs when the outcome of an experiment satisfies the condition mentioned in
• the event. The outcomes which ensure the occurrence of an event are called favourable outcomes to that event.
![Mathematics Formulas ICSE Class 10 Chapter Wise](https://www.icseboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/image-580.png)
• The value of probability is always between 0 and 1.
• The probability of sure (certain) event is 1.
• The probability of an impossible event is 0.
• An elementary event is an event which has one (favorable) outcome from the sample space.
• A Compound event is an event which has more than one outcome from the sample space.
• If E is an event, then the event „not E‟ is complementary event of E and denoted by .
• 0≤ p(E) ≥ 1
• P(E) + P() = 1
• In a pack (deck) of playing cards, there are 52 cards which are divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each –
spades ( ♠ ), hearts ( ♥ ), diamonds ( ♦ ) and clubs ( ♣ ). Spades and clubs are black in colour, while hearts and diamonds are of red colour. The cards in each suit are ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Kings, queens and jacks are called face (picture/court) cards. The cards bearing number 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 are called numbered cards. Thus a pack of playing cards has 4 aces, 12 face cards and 36 numbered cards. The aces together with face cards (= 16). are called cards of honour.
• When a coin is tossed, it may show head (H) up or tail (T) up. Thus the outcomes are: {H, T}.
• When two coins are tossed simultaneously, then the outcomes are: {HH, HT, TH, TT}. [n(S) = 2n]
• When a die is thrown once the outcomes are: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. [n(S) = 6n]
• When two dice are thrown simultaneously, then the outcomes are: {(1, 1),(1, 2)…….(6, 6)}.

17th century.
Experiment
An operation which can produce some well-defined outcomes.
Trial
Performing of an experiment.
Eg: Tossing a coin, throwing a dice
Event
The outcome of an experiment
Eg. Getting head or tail while tossing a coin
Sample Space
The set of all possible outcome in trail.

Favourable case
If we toss a coin the no. of favourable cases for a head is 1
Probability
Mathematically, Probability of an event A, is defined as P(A) = No: of favorable outcomes / Total no: of possible outcome.
i) Probability = P
ii) P (certain/sure event) = 1
iii) P (impossible event) = 0
iv) All possible outcomes added = 1
Formulae
1. Probability of certain event = P(A) = No. of favourable outcomes / Total number of trials
2.Complementary Events = P(A) + P(Ā) = 1
If probability of happening of an event is x, then probability of not happening of that event = (1-x) E.g. If probability of winning a game is 0.6 then probability of losing = (1 – 0.6) = 0.4
