Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions
nPr = n! / (n - r)!
nCr = n! / [r!(n - r)!]
nCr + nC(r-1) = (n+1)Cr
(a + b)ⁿ = Σ nCr aⁿ⁻ʳ bʳ
Tr+1 = nCr aⁿ⁻ʳ bʳ
Binomial General Term (Tr+1)
The (r+1)th term in the expansion of (a+b)ⁿ is Tr+1 = nCr aⁿ⁻ʳ bʳ. If n is even, middle term is T(n/2 + 1).

Exam Day Revision & Problem Solving Checklist
- ✓Apply string/block method and gap method in restricted permutations
- ✓Use Pascal's identity nCr + nC(r-1) = (n+1)Cr

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips
Step-by-Step Mark Allocation
Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.
Common Calculation Traps
Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
