This thread is exclusively for those who are very weak in Quant and want to start from the scratch. Lets just do quants from basic level and lets become heros from zeros in Quant. I hope this thread will be successful and will give good Quant heros for CAT 2012... [smiley]
HI,
i see that the arithmetic operators are missing in almost all formulas.. pls update those and re-post if possible
thanks

@KBM
P&L; is one of those topics where you can always save a lot of time (to be used in other questions)....
it's perhaps one of the easiest of the topics to cover..... I'm a 100 percentiler in quant and have made a few videos.... you can use them..... don't use them for any commercial purposes (it's a request) and of course you can pass on the word if you like....
Since I'm in middle of my preparations for civils, I haven't made videos on all the topics, yet there are enough to get the basics right.....
I'm posting the one on P&L; - (excuse me for my handwriting 
)
100 percentiler twice. Preparing for civils. Making videos in between to help students and kill monotony of studying. Will try to add more (not promising). You can also subscribe my channel/page "Sleepy Classes" on youtube. All the best :)

No one has answered this question, yet. Get cracking.

no but it required it is required to be counted like
1-9 --- 9 digits
10-19 --- 20 digits
20-29 ---- 20 digits
30-39 ---- 20 digits
40-49 ---- 20 digits
this makes 89 digits
now 50-53 - 8 dgits makes it 97
last three digit becomes 545
