SSC MTS Maths Important Formulas With Questions

In the SSC MTS 2024 exam, Mathematics (Quantitative Aptitude) plays a crucial role, accounting for 25 marks of the total 100 marks in Paper 1. To excel in this section, it’s essential to focus on key mathematical topics and understand their core formulas. Here’s a guide to the most important topics and formulas you need to know:

• Simplification
  • BODMAS Rule: Follow Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Question: Raj spends 35% of his income on rent, 55% of the remaining amount on utilities, and 25% of the remaining amount on groceries. If he saves ₹4500 each month, what is his total monthly income?

Solution: Let the total income be 100 units.

• Spending on rent: 35% of 100 = 35 units. Remaining income = 100 – 35 = 65 units.
• Spending on utilities: 55% of 65 = 35.75 units. Remaining income = 65 – 35.75 = 29.25 units.
• Spending on groceries: 25% of 29.25 = 7.3125 units. Remaining income = 29.25 – 7.3125 = 21.9375 units.

Savings = 21.9375 units = ₹4500.

• Value of 1 unit = ₹4500 / 21.9375 ≈ ₹205.
• Total income = 100 units × ₹205 = ₹20,500.

Question: In an exam with 300 questions, a student scores 65% in the first part (180 questions) and 85% in the second part (120 questions). What is the total percentage of marks obtained?

Solution:

• Marks in the first part = 65% of 180 = 0.65 × 180 = 117 questions.
• Marks in the second part = 85% of 120 = 0.85 × 120 = 102 questions.
• Total marks obtained = 117 + 102 = 219.
• Total questions = 300.
• Percentage = (219 / 300) × 100% = 73%.

• Profit and Loss

Question: If Neha buys 90 items and sells them at a loss equal to the selling price of 8 items, what is the selling price of one item?

Solution:

• Loss on 90 items = Selling price of 8 items.
• Selling price of 90 items = Cost price of 90 items – Loss.
• Let the selling price of 1 item be SPSPSP and the cost price be CPCPCP.
• Loss = CP – SP × 90.
• Loss = SP × 8.
• CP × 90 – SP × 90 = SP × 8.
• Therefore, CP × 90 = SP × (90 + 8) = SP × 98.
• Cost price of 1 item = 98 / 90 × SP = ₹115.

• Average
  • Average: Average=Sum of all items/ Number of items
• Algebra

• Pipes and Cisterns

Question: Pipes X and Y can fill a tank in 20 hours and 15 hours, respectively. Pipe Z alone can empty the tank in 40 hours. If all three pipes are opened together for 3 hours, how much of the tank will be empty?

Solution:

• LCM of 20, 15, and 40 = 120.
• Rate of X = 120 / 20 = 6 units/hour.
• Rate of Y = 120 / 15 = 8 units/hour.
• Rate of Z = -120 / 40 = -3 units/hour.
• Combined rate of X and Y = 6 + 8 = 14 units/hour.
• Combined rate of X, Y, and Z = 14 – 3 = 11 units/hour.

Total time = 3 hours.

• Water filled = 11 × 3 = 33 units.
• Capacity of tank = 120 units.
• Remaining capacity = 120 – 33 = 87 units.

Fraction of tank empty = 87/120 ≈ 0.725.

Question: Pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 25 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively. Pipe R can empty 150 liters of water per minute. If all three pipes are opened together, how large is the tank if it fills in 50 minutes?

Solution:

• Rate of P = 1/25 tank/minute.
• Rate of Q = 1/40 tank/minute.
• Rate of R = -150 liters/minute.
• Combined rate of P and Q = 1/25 + 1/40 = 8/200 + 5/200 = 13/200 tank/minute.
• Capacity of the tank = 150 × 50 = 7500 liters.

Combined rate of P, Q, and R = (13/200 – 150/7500) tank/minute = (13/200 – 1/50) = 9/200 tank/minute.

• Capacity = 50 × 9/200 = 2.25 tank units.
