Basic Maths formulas For All SSC Exams
Here’s a complete list of basic maths formulas useful for SSC exams (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, etc.). These are frequently asked in Quantitative Aptitude sections.
🧮 Arithmetic Formulas
1. Percentages
-
Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
-
Increase = Original × (1 + r/100)
-
Decrease = Original × (1 - r/100)
2. Profit & Loss
-
Profit = SP - CP
-
Loss = CP - SP
-
Profit% = (Profit / CP) × 100
-
Loss% = (Loss / CP) × 100
-
SP = CP × (1 ± Profit/Loss%)
-
Discount = MP - SP
3. Simple Interest (SI)
-
SI = (P × R × T) / 100
4. Compound Interest (CI)
-
CI = P(1 + R/100)^T – P
-
Difference (CI - SI) for 2 years = P(R²)/100²
5. Ratio & Proportion
-
If a:b = c:d, then ad = bc
-
a:b = a/(a+b), b/(a+b)
📐 Algebra
1. Identities
-
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
-
(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
-
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
-
(x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab
2. Quadratic Equation
-
ax² + bx + c = 0
-
Roots = [−b ± √(b² − 4ac)] / 2a
📏 Geometry
1. Triangle
-
Area = ½ × base × height
-
Heron’s Formula = √[s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)], where s = (a+b+c)/2
-
Pythagoras Theorem = a² + b² = c²
2. Circle
-
Circumference = 2πr
-
Area = πr²
3. Rectangle & Square
-
Area = length × breadth
-
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
-
Square area = a², perimeter = 4a
4. Trapezium
-
Area = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × height
🔢 Number System
-
Even + Even = Even
-
Odd + Odd = Even
-
Even × Even = Even
-
Odd × Odd = Odd
-
LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers
📊 Mensuration (2D & 3D)
2D Figures
-
Square: Area = a², Perimeter = 4a
-
Rectangle: Area = l × b
-
Circle: Area = πr², Circumference = 2πr
3D Figures
-
Cube: Volume = a³, Surface Area = 6a²
-
Cuboid: Volume = l × b × h
-
Cylinder: Volume = πr²h, Curved Surface Area = 2πrh
-
Cone: Volume = ⅓πr²h, CSA = πrl
-
Sphere: Volume = 4/3πr³, Surface Area = 4πr²
-
Hemisphere: Volume = 2/3πr³, CSA = 2πr²
⏱️ Time & Work / Time, Speed, Distance
Time and Work
-
Work = Rate × Time
-
If A can do a work in x days, A’s 1-day work = 1/x
-
If A is x times as good as B, then A will take 1/x the time B takes
Time, Speed & Distance
-
Speed = Distance / Time
-
Average Speed = (2xy) / (x + y) [for equal distances at speed x and y]
-
Relative Speed = Add speeds (opposite direction), Subtract (same direction)
🧠 Short Tricks You Must Know
-
-
-
-
If a + b + c = 0 → a² + b² + c² = ab + bc + ca
