This Study Material has been prepared by the faculty of the Board of Studies. The objective of the
Study Material is to provide teaching material to the students to enable them to obtain knowledge
in the subject. In case students need any clarifications or have any suggestions to make for further
improvement of the material contained herein, they may write to the Director of Studies.
All care has been taken to provide interpretations and discussions in a manner useful for the students.
However, the Study Material has not been specifically discussed by the Council of the Institute or any
of its Committees and the views expressed herein may not be taken to necessarily represent the views
of the Council or any of its Committees.
Permission of the Institute is essential for reproduction of any portion of this material.
All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced, stored in retrieval system, or transmitted, in any
form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without prior permission
in writing from the publisher.
The level of complexity of the study material is as per standards accorded by IAESB comprising an
ideal mix of subjective and objective examination pattern to ensure discerning students get through
and seek admission to the CA Course.
Mathematics and Statistics applications are very important for the students of Chartered Accountancy
Course as professional work in future will demand analytical and quantitative skills. Through this
section of Business Mathematics, Logical Reasoning and Statistics. It is intended to develop analytical
ability of the students using basic mathematical and statistical techniques.
By this, students will be equipped with the knowledge to absorb various concepts of other subjects
of the chartered accountancy course like accounting, auditing and assurance, financial management,
cost accounting, management accounting, etc.
The Study material divided into three parts, the first part of the study material (Chapters 1 - 8)
covers basic mathematical techniques like ratio, proportion, indices, logarithms, equations and linear
inequalities, Time value of money, permutations and combinations, sequence and series, sets, relations
and basics of differential integral calculus. The second part of the study material (Chapters 10 - 13)
covers Logical Reasoning and The third part (Chapters 14 - 19) of the basic principles of statistical
techniques and measurement thereof.
The entire study material has been written in a simple and easy to understand language. A number
of illustrations have been incorporated in each chapter to explain various concepts and related
computational techniques dealt within each chapter. A reasonably good question bank has been
included in the study material which will help the students to prepare for the Foundation examination.
Objectives:
(a) To develop an understanding of the basic mathematical and statistical tools and their application
in Business, Finance and Economics.
(b) To develop logical reasoning skills and apply the same in simple problem solving.
