About Project 400 Questions.

I will post 400 MCQ on Maths for SSC-CGL. These 400 questions are unique.

These are variety questions. I will call these questions as “Project 400

Questions”. These questions are developed on the basis of research. If any SSC

CGL aspirant

become proficient in these 400 questions I am sure he will score always 40+ score

in maths in tier 1 and 180+ in tier 2. Keep in mind along with these representative

questions a lot of practice is required.
