Lecture Notes: Chain Rule in Mathematics by Abhinay Sharma
Introduction
- Presenter: Abhinay
- Topic: Chain Rule (Important topic for various exams like SSC CGL, CHSL, etc.)
- Goal: Complete syllabus and provide quality education till the exam
Chain Rule Overview
- Chain Rule is fundamental in many exams (SSC CGL, CHSL, CPO, etc.)
- Importance in exams:
Direct Proportion and Indirect Proportion
- Focus on clear understanding of concepts, not books
Key Concept: Work Formula
- Basic formula:
Work = Men × Days
- Adjust for efficiency:
Work = Men × Efficiency × Days
- Adjust for working hours:
Work = Men × Efficiency × Days × Hours
- If work is constant and men increase, days decrease and vice versa
Practical Examples
- Example 1: Man paints wall in given time; deriving time for multiple walls.
- Example 2: Problems involving changing number of men and days, calculating efficiency impacts.
Work and Efficiency
- Total work: Equational approach to distribute work uniformly among changing workforce
- Example Problems: Situational examples from exams where efficient use of time and workforce is critical
Complex Examples
- Variation in Workforce: Calculating remaining work with changes in workforce size and efficiency
- Concepts of
Direct Proportion and Indirect Proportion applied
- Many problems solved by adjusting men/work ration when efficiency varies
