Equal Temperament In this system, the octave is divided into twelve equal parts, making the interval between each half step identical and allowing music to be transposed freely between all twelve keys. The table below shows the ratios of all the intervals in equal temperament.

Equal temperament enables keyboard instruments, which are typically difficult to retune frequently, to play music in any key without significant intonation issues by dividing the octave into twelve equal parts, allowing musicians to freely modulate between keys without needing to retune the instrument for each key change; essentially, it provides consistent tuning across the entire keyboard, making it suitable for music in all keys. Key points about equal temperament: Consistent tuning: Unlike older tuning systems, equal temperament ensures that every interval on the keyboard sounds relatively in tune, regardless of the key being played. Freedom of modulation: Musicians can easily change keys within a piece without noticeable intonation problems due to the consistent intervals. Compromise in sound: While convenient, equal temperament slightly compromises the purity of certain intervals compared to "just intonation" systems, which can be more pleasing to the ear in certain contexts. read less

I purchased a Casio keyboard, I can play Bollywood songs on one hand but I would like to learn with both hands with chords. Can I learn individually or do I need to get some trainer.? I did not find any videos on YouTube to play from both hands.
U must go for a trainer to develop the right temperament for instrument and avoid any unseen and unnoticed errors.

Yes, it does make sense. Infact it's very important to train your voice along with the instrument so can u can sing well while playing the instrument.

How many chords are there in keyboard. How much time will it typically take to pick up speed?
Your question itself is not correct. A chord is when 2 or more keys are pressed on the keyboard. A triad is a chord when the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of a scale are played together. e.g if C,E & G keys are pressed together the C triad (chord) played.
