SSC Maths Tricks - Know the Easy Tricks to Prepare for Maths First of all, to score well in the Quantitative Aptitude section, you have to be Determinant and Confident which are the main keys to achieve success. Solving SSC Exam Maths is like a game that is all about patience, logic and mental abilities, and the presence of mind to make a quick reply while solving equations. SSC Maths tricks are what a candidate needs to clear this section and score maximum marks in it. Here some steps are mentioned for improving your ability to solve a math problem: First of all, you have to go through the question properly until it gets cleared to you. Then you can easily solve it even within a minimal time. From the very basic, we all know that the whole calculation process stands upon four main parts “Addition”, “Subtraction”, “Multiplication” and “Division”. So, if you can perform them faster, you can easily solve any problem within a short span of time. Table leads the most important role in the calculation part. So if you can remember the table up to 30, then the calculation will be easier for you. For example: if you have to find out this problem (12 » 15), then you can solve it as, 12x (10+5)= 12 * 10+ 12 x $= 120 + 60= 180 So, you have to find an easy way to solve a problem. SSC Maths Tricks The only thing you need to do is to do your Math problems correctly and within time, and this can be achieved only by using shortcut tricks. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t do math problems without using any shorteut trick. You may have that potential, that you may do the calculation without using any trick, but other people may not do the same, so we are trying to help you by providing some tricks for a quick calculation.

However, the multiplicand 45 has only two digits. So we add a zero and convert 45 to 045 and make it a three-digit number. After having done so, we can carry on with the procedure explained in Case 1. First we subtract 1 from 045 and write it down as 044. Next, we subtract each of the digits of 044 from 9 i.e. (9-0)=9 (9-4)=5 (9-4)=5 and write the answer as 955. So, the complete answer is 044955, Case 3: Multiplication of numbers with a series of 1’s Ex: 43 x 11 43 x41 473 Write the last digit 3 as itis. Next, we add 3 to 4 and get 7. Finally, we write 4 as itis. The complete answer is 473 Ex: 652 * IL 652 x11 7172 The logic of two-digit numbers can be expanded to higher numbers. In the given example we have to multiply 652 by i . We write down the last digit of the answer as 2. (Answer 2) «Next, we add 2 to 5 and make it 7. (Answer =___72) «Next, we add 5 to 6 and make it 11. We write down I and carry over 1. (Answer is___172) Last, we take 6 and add the one carried over to make it 7. (The final answer is 7172) Ex: 203 111‘We write down the digit in the units place 3 as it is in the answer ‘We move to the left and add (3 + 0) We move to the left and add (2 + 0 + 3) = 5 (maximum three digits) ‘We move to the left and add (0 + 2 ‘We move to the left and add (0 + 2) So, the final answer is 22533 Case 3: Multiplication of numbers with a series of similar digits in the multiplier Ex: 3021 333 A muttiplicand with a series of expressioi anormal number and the multiplier is a series of 3’s. We do not know how to multiply a number 's but we know how to multiply a number with a series of 1's. Thus, we will represent the such a manner that the multiplier is 111 We have already learned how to multiply 9063 by 111. On the basis of our knowledge, we can easily complete the multiplication. 9063 x_111 1005993 On the basis of the above examples, it can be seen that there is no need of explaining the procedure of multiplication, Basically, we have to convert a series of 2's, 3's, 4's, etc. in the multiplier to a series of I's by dividing it by a certain number. Crisscross System Of Multiplication: Case 1: Multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number Basically, we follow 3 steps which are shown below: Ex: 23 * 12 Step 1: We multiply the digits in one’s place, that is, 3 x 2 = 6. We write 6 in the ones place of the answer, no <0 2 4 o Step2: Now, we cross multiply and add the products, that is, (2 « 2) + (3 * 1) =7. We write the 7 in the tens place of the answer. 8 12 76 Step3: Now we multiply the ones digits, that is, 2» 1 =2.23 t x12 276 Now complete multiplication is: 23 *x12 276 So, the answer is 276, Case 2: Multiplying a three-digit number by another three-digit number In this case we follow 5 steps which are shown below: Ex: 121 «302 Step1: We multiply 1 into 2 and get the answer as 2. a 121 ade Step2: Now We cross-multiply (2 * 2) and add it to (1 * 0). Thus, the final answer is 4 : ya 302 - 42 Step3: Now we multiply (1 * 2) and (2 * 0) and (3 = 1). We add the three answers thus obtained to get the final answer 5. Step4: Now we multiply (1 * 0) and (3 * 2). The final answer is 6 M+ 402 6542 StepS: Now we multiply the left-hand most digits (1 = 3) and get the answer as 3. a 121 if 302 * * 36642 Thus, it can be seen that the product obtained by multiplying two 3-digit numbers can be obtained in just one line with the help of the Crisscross system, Case 3: Multiplication of higher-order numbers We follow 7 steps shown below in the picture: Ex: HL HLL1111 1 1111 1111 x1111 1111 1114 *1111 1 21 321 4321 a4 1111 1111 41 x_1111 x_1111 x 34321 234321 1234321 So, the answer is 1234321 Some Maths Tricks on Square and Cube of Numbers If you want to solve a problem on a square quickly, you should have memorized the square up to 50. If you think about how to solve square or square root using short tricks then farther study will help you to do so.

Square Root Of A Number: Ex: \7744 Sol: «The number 7744 ends with 4, Therefore the square root ends with 2 or 8. The answer at this stage is_2 or_8. «Next, we take the complete number 7744. We find that the number 7744 lies between 6400 (which is the square of 80) and 8100 (which is the square of 90). 70 - 4900 80 - 6400 7744 90 - 8100 100 - 10000 The number 7744 lies between 6400 and 8100, Therefore, the square root of 7744 lies between the numbers 80 and 90. From the first step, we know that the square root ends with 2 or 8. From the second step we know that the square root lies between 80 and 90. Of all the numbers between 80 and 90 (81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89) the only numbers ending with 2 or 8 are 82 or 88. Thus, out of 82 or 88, one is the correct answer. (Answer at this stage is 82 or 88) Observe the number 7744 as given below: Is it closer to the smaller number 6400 or closer to the bigger number 8100? If the number 7744 is closer to the smaller number 6400 then take the smaller number 82 as the answer. However, if) it is closer to the bigger number 8100, then take 88 as the answer. In this case, we observe that 7744 is closer to the bigger number $100 and hence we take 88 as the answer. The square root of 7744 is 88. Cube Root of a Number: Ex: Find the cube root of 1404928 Sol:‘The number will be represented as 1404 928 ‘The number ends with a 8 and so the cube-root will end with a 2. 1404 lies between 1331 (the cube of 11) and 1728 (the cube of 12). Out of 11 and 12 the smaller number is 11 which we will put beside the 2 already obtained. Hence, the final answer is 112. ‘Now if we can go through the table shown below properly, our calculation will become easier: ‘Common Fractions and Their Percentage Equivalents: 1/2 = 50% 3/5 = 60% SIT=T1G/7)% 8/9 = 88(8/9)% 1/3 = 33(1/3)% 2/3 = 66(2/3)% 5/8 = 62(1/2)% 9/10 = 90% 1/4 = 25% 3/4 = 75% 4/9 = 44(4/9)% 4/11 =36(4/11)% 1/5 = 20% 2/5 = 40% 7/9 = 71(7/9)% 1/6 = 16(2/3)% 5/6 = 83(1/3)% 7/10 = 70% - 1/7 = 14(2/7)% 2/7 = 28(4/7)% 3/11 =27/11)% - 1/8 = 12(1/2)% 3/8 =37(1/2)% 80% - 1/9 = 11(1/9)% 2/9 = 22(2/9)% 4/7 = ST(L/T)% : V/10= 10% 3/10 = 30% 617 = 8565/7)% - WL =9(1/11)% 2/L= 182/11)% TI8 = 81(1/2)% - 1/12 = 81/3)% 3/7 = 426/)% 519 = 55(5/9)% - Lear the short tricks, solve the previous paper of respective exams and practice on a daily basis because we all know that “practice makes a man perfect”.
