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
itas,
12 (10 + $)=12 « 10 + 12x 5= 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 shortcut 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,

Now we will discuss some multiplication methods:
654 «999
SSC Maths Ticks - Base Method Of Multiplication
We subtract 1 from 654 i.c., 653, and write it as half answer, so the answer will be 653__
‘Now we will be dealing with 653. Now we will subtract each digit of 653 from 9 i. So, the final answer: 654 * 999 ~ 653346
Now we will discuss Vedic methods which is one of the most significant process to solve a question quickly:
Vedic Methods
Case: Multiplying a number with a higher number of nines:
Ex: 654 x 999
= 654 x (10001)
= (654 * 1000) ~ 654 = 654000 — 654 =
183346
(Case 2: Multiplying a number with a lower number of nines:
Ex: 45 « 999
= there are three nines in the multiplier. However, the multiplicand 45 has only two digits. So we add a zero and convert 45 to
045 and make ita three-digit number.
‘After having done so, we can carry on with the procedure explained in Case 1. First we subtract | from 045 and write it down as
(044, Next, we subtract each of the digits of 044 from 9 ie,
(9-0)=9
(0-4)=5
(-4)=5
and write the answer as 955, So, the complete answer is 044985
Case 3: Multiplication of numbers with a series of 1's
Ex: 43 * 11
43
«411
473
Write the last digit 3 as it is. Next, we add 3 to 4 and get 7. Finally, we write 4 as it is. The complete answer is 473,
Ex: 652 11
652
11
x
7172
‘The logic of two-digit numbers can be expanded to higher numbers. In the given example we have to multiply 652 by 11.
We write down the last digit of the answer as 2. (Answer—___2)
72)
‘Next, we add 5 to 6 and make it 11. We write down | and carry over |. (Answer is__172)
Last, we take 6 and add the one carried over to make it 7. (The final answer is 7172)
Next, we add 2 to 5 and make it 7. (Answe
Ex: 203 « 111
203
*111
22533
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)=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 multiplicand is a normal number and the multiplier isa series of 3's. We do not know how to multiply a number with a series
of 3's but we know how to multiply a number with a series of I’s. Thus, we will represent the expression in 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 ean 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,
wwe have to convert a series of 2's, 3'5, 4's, ete. in the multiplier to a series of 1’s by dividing it by a certain number.
Crisscross System Of Multiplication:
(Case 1: Multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number
ete
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.
23
¥
x12
6
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.

Basically, we follow 3 steps which are shown below:

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,
8201 88)
Observe the number 7744 as given below:
80 - 6400
7744
90 - 8100
Is it closer to the smaller number 6400 or closer to the bigger number $100?
If the number 7744 is closer to the smaller number 6400 then take the smaller number 82 as the answer. However, if tis 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 8100
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:
