BRBNMPL full form

Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India, incorporated in 1995 to print banknotes and mint coins for the RBI.

BRBNMPL printing presses

BRBNMPL operates two banknote printing presses: one at Mysuru in Karnataka (commissioned 1999) and one at Salboni in West Bengal (commissioned 2013).

RBI note issue authority

Section 22 of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 gives the RBI the sole right to issue banknotes in India; the minimum reserve system requires Rs 200 crore backing, with at least Rs 115 crore in gold.

Clean Note Policy

Introduced by the RBI in 1999, it requires banks to sort notes into fit and unfit categories and to return unfit notes to RBI issue offices for destruction, ensuring notes in circulation are usable.

Mahatma Gandhi New Series

The current series of Indian banknotes introduced from November 2016, covering denominations from Rs 10 to Rs 2000, with the Rs 2000 note being the highest denomination in circulation.

SPMCIL role

Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited mints coins under the Coinage Act, 2011, while BRBNMPL and SPMCIL presses together print paper banknotes for the RBI.

Currency indent

The RBI's Department of Currency Management decides the volume and denomination-wise indent of banknotes; BRBNMPL prints against that indent and delivers notes to RBI issue offices.

Banknote security features

Features such as watermarks, security thread, latent image, micro-lettering, intaglio printing, and optically variable ink help detect counterfeit notes; the RBI publishes a 'Know Your Banknote' guide.

Simple interest formula

SI = P x R x T / 100, where P is principal, R is rate per annum, and T is time in years; it is calculated only on the original principal.

Compound interest formula

CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P; for half-yearly compounding use R/2 and 2T; compound interest grows faster than simple interest over multiple periods.

Successive percentage change

A change of a% followed by b% gives a net change of a + b + ab/100 percent; this formula applies to successive increases, decreases, or a mix of both.

Profit and loss percentage

Profit% = (SP - CP)/CP x 100; when two articles are sold at the same selling price with equal profit% and loss%, there is always a net loss of x^2/100 percent.

Speed conversion rule

To convert km/h to m/s multiply by 5/18; to convert m/s to km/h multiply by 18/5; relative speed is the sum for opposite directions and the difference for the same direction.

Time and work formula

If A finishes work in x days and B in y days, together they take xy/(x+y) days; work done equals rate multiplied by time; the LCM method sets total work as one unit.

Combination formula

nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!), giving the number of ways to choose r items from n without regard to order; nPr = n!/(n-r)! counts ordered arrangements.

Mensuration key formulas

Area of circle = pi r^2; circumference = 2 pi r; volume of cylinder = pi r^2 h; volume of sphere = (4/3) pi r^3; volume of cone = (1/3) pi r^2 h.

Average change rule

Average = sum of observations / number of observations; if a person's average changes by x after replacing one item, the difference in that item equals x times the number of items.

Probability addition rule

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B); for independent events P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B); P(E) = favourable outcomes / total outcomes.

Syllogism Venn method

Use Venn diagrams to test conclusions: 'All A are B' means A is a subset of B; a conclusion is valid only if it holds in every possible diagram consistent with the premises.

Blood relation symbols

Draw a family tree using '+' for male and '-' for female; vertical lines show generations and horizontal lines show siblings or spouses; 'maternal' refers to the mother's side.

Direction sense turns

A right turn from North leads East and a left turn from North leads West; final displacement between start and end points uses the Pythagoras theorem for diagonal distance.

Coding-decoding letter positions

Letters have positions A=1 to Z=26 and reverse positions A=26 to Z=1; common patterns are a fixed shift, reversal, or substitution with symbols.

Circular seating rule

In circular arrangement, clockwise is left when a person faces the centre; fix one person first, then place others relative to that reference to avoid confusion.

Order and ranking formula

If a person is nth from the left and mth from the right, total = n + m - 1; if total and one position are known, the other = total - position + 1.

Statement and assumption rule

An assumption is something taken for granted; a valid assumption is necessary for the statement to hold true, and real-world facts not implied by the statement are not assumed.

Series completion patterns

Identify the pattern in a series: constant difference, ratio, squares or cubes, or alternating series; in alphabet series, track gaps between letters such as +2, +3, +4.

Subject-verb agreement rule

A singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb; 'each', 'every', 'either' and 'neither' take singular verbs, while 'none' can be singular or plural.

Preposition usage rules

'In' is used for enclosed spaces, months and years; 'on' for surfaces, days and dates; 'at' for specific times and points; 'since' takes a point of time and 'for' a duration.

Active to passive voice

The object becomes the subject, the verb becomes 'be + past participle', and the original subject becomes 'by + agent'; the tense of 'be' matches the original tense.

Direct to indirect speech

Pronouns change according to the reporter, tense shifts one step back (present to past), and time or place words change: now to then, here to there, today to that day.

Homophone distinction

Homophones sound alike but differ in meaning and spelling, such as 'their/there' and 'to/too/two'; idioms carry figurative meanings that differ from their literal words.

Cloze test strategy

Read the whole passage first, then choose the option that fits both grammar and meaning; check collocations such as 'make a decision' rather than 'do a decision'.
