Thank you very much, Deepak !!

Folks, That's the end of "Averages" chapter. I will start posting in "RATIOS". There are a few important points to be noted which may be useful to you in the exam.

RATIOS:
1. a:b = a/b
Value of ratio remains unchanged when multiplied/divided,
a/b = a*m / b*m = (a/m) / (b/m)
2. If a/b = c/d = e/f, then each of these ratios is equal to a+c+e / b+d+f
3. If a/b = c/d, then b/a = d/c [Invertendo Rule]
4. If a/c = b/d, then a/b = c/d [Alternendo Rule]
5. If a/b = c/d, then a+b / b = c+d / d [Componendo Rule]
6. If a/b = c/d, then a-b / b = c-d / d [Dividendo Rule]
7. The compound of a:b and c:d is a*c:b*d
8. If a:b :: c:d, then a*d = b*c
9. If ac :: d:e:f, then a/d = b/e = c/f = K (a constant)
1. a:b = a/b
Value of ratio remains unchanged when multiplied/divided,

|x+y| < |x| + |y|
1. If x and y have SAME SIGNS, then both sides will be equal.
2. If x and y have DIFFERENT SIGNS, then right side will be greater.
There is a small typo error in the 2nd point. It should be 'right' side and not 'left' side.
I've edited the original post now. Thank you!

Arithmetic Progressions:
i. To find a term, tn = a + (n-1)*d,
where a is the first term of the series, n is the number of terms in the series and d is the constant difference between any 2 consecutive terms of the series.
ii. Average of the AP series = (First Term + Last Term)/2
--[This is applicable to the concept - Evenly Spaced Sets. Please refer this post]--
iii. Sum of the AP series, Sn = n/2 * [2a + (n-1)*d]
OR
Sn = n/2 * [a + tn]

If a constant number (C) is added/subtracted from each term of an AP, then
i. Resulting sequence is also AP.
ii. Common difference (d) remains constant.
iii. Sum of the NEW series = Sum of the OLD series + (n * C) [where n -> No. of terms in the series]
If a constant number (C) is multiplied/divided by each term of an AP, then
i. Resulting sequence is also AP.
ii. Common difference (d) = C * Old Common difference
iii. Sum of the NEW series = C * Sum of the OLD series
i. Resulting sequence is also AP.
ii. Common difference (d) remains constant.
iii. Sum of the NEW series = Sum of the OLD series + (n * C) [where n -> No. of terms in the series]
If a constant number (C) is multiplied/divided by each term of an AP, then

If a1, a2, ... an and b1, b2, ... bn are two AP's A and B, then
I. (a1+b1, a2+b2, ... an+bn) is ALSO an AP.
II. Common Difference (d) = Sum [d(A) + d(B)] --------- Where d(A) is the common difference of series A and d(B) is the common difference of series B
I. (a1+b1, a2+b2, ... an+bn) is ALSO an AP.
II. Common Difference (d) = Sum [d(A) + d(B)] --------- Where d(A) is the common difference of series A and d(B) is the common difference of series B

Geometric Progressions:
i. To find a term, tn = a * r^(n-1),
where a is the first term of the series, n is the number of terms in the series and r is the common ratio of the series.
ii. Sum of the GP series,
Sn = a * (r^n - 1) / r-1 .....[ If r > 1 ]
Sn = a * (1 - r^n) / 1-r .....[ If r < 1 ]
iii. Sum of the indefinite GP (A series that doesn't have an end)
Sn = a / (1-r)
i. To find a term, tn = a * r^(n-1),
where a is the first term of the series, n is the number of terms in the series and r is the common ratio of the series.

Sn = a * (1 - r^n) / 1-r .....[ If r < 1 ]

If a fixed non-zero constant is multiplied with each term of GP, then
i. Resulting sequence is also GP
ii. Same Common ratio.
i. Resulting sequence is also GP
ii. Same Common ratio.
