well, during GMAT and GRE exams, we cannot use Calculator. and to get rid of this shortcoming, we must learn some shortcut techniques. from my point of view learning the multiple numbers from 1 to 30 has no alternative.

okay... lemme start with Geometrical ones... do we remember the theorems that we were taught in our school years? let's get a brief...

1. Straight line indicates 180 degree. Any transversal intersecting creates two angles and summation of which equals 180 degree

can anyone tell the 2nd theorem?
