Important Formulas — Quick Reference

Algebra Key Formulas

Quadratic Formula: x = [−b ± √(b²−4ac)] / 2a
AP General Term: tₙ = a + (n−1)d
Sum of AP: Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n−1)d]
Probability: P(E) = Number of favourable outcomes / Total outcomes
Mean (Direct Method): x̄ = Σfₖxₖ / Σfₖ

Geometry Key Formulas

Distance Formula: d = √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²]
Section Formula: (mx₂+nx₁)/(m+n), (my₂+ny₁)/(m+n)
Pythagoras: a² + b² = c²
Trigonometry: sinθ = Opposite/Hypotenuse, cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Volume of Cylinder: πr²h | Cone: (1/3)πr²h | Sphere: (4/3)πr³

How to Score 90+ in SSC Maths Board Exam

Understand the paper pattern — The SSC Maths paper has MCQs, 2-mark, 3-mark, and 4-mark questions. Know the weightage of each chapter.
Practice all practice sets — Every practice set in the textbook is important. Do not skip any.
Learn formulas with derivations — Do not just memorize formulas. Understand where they come from so you can apply them in new problems.
Attempt all geometry problems with proper diagrams — Diagrams carry marks in geometry. Always draw a neat, labelled figure.
Revise previous year papers — Practice at least 5 years of past board papers to understand the pattern. Visit our SSC Question Papers section.
Time management — In the exam, attempt the questions you are most confident about first. Allocate 2 minutes per mark as a general guideline.
