SSC CGL Must-Revise Maths Formulas
Number System
- a^n - b^n = (a - b)(a^{n-1} + a^{n-2}b + ... + b^{n-1})
- a^n + b^n = (a + b)(a^{n-1} - a^{n-2}b + ... + b^{n-1})
- HCF * LCM = Product of Two Numbers
- Remainder Theorem
Simplification & Surds
- sqrta * sqrtb = sqrt(ab)
- Rationalization: 1 / (a + sqrtb) = (a - sqrtb) / (a^2 - b)
Percentage
- % = (Part / Whole) * 100
- Net % change = x + y + (xy / 100)
Profit, Loss & Discount
- Profit = SP - CP; Loss = CP - SP
- Profit% = (Profit / CP) * 100
- MP = (SP * 100) / (100 - Discount%)
Simple & Compound Interest
- SI = (P * R * T) / 100
- CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P
- CI - SI (2 years) = P * R^2 / 100^2

Time, Speed & Distance
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Relative Speed (same direction) = |S1 - S2|
- Time = Distance / Speed
Time & Work
- Work = Rate * Time
- A and B together = (AB) / (A + B)
- Efficiency = 1 / Time
Mensuration (2D & 3D)
- Square: Area = a^2, Perimeter = 4a
- Circle: Area = pir^2, Circumference = 2pir
- Cube: Volume = a^3, Surface Area = 6a^2
- Cylinder: Volume = pir^2h, TSA = 2pir(r+h)
Algebra
- (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
- (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
- a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
- (x + 1/x)^2 = x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2
Ratio & Proportion
- a/b = c/d => ad = bc
SSC CGL Must-Revise Maths Formulas
- Component and Dividend Rule: (a + b)/(a - b) = (c + d)/(c - d)
Average
- Average = Sum / Number of values
- New Avg = Old Avg (Change in Total / n)
Data Interpretation
- % change = (Difference / Original) * 100
- Check units (, %, lakhs etc.)
