Elementary Mathematics flashcards for SSC GD

22 of 50 cards from the Elementary Mathematics deck — real questions with worked answers.

1. What is the formula for Simple Interest (SI)?

   SI = (P × R × T) / 100, where P = principal, R = rate per annum, T = time in years.

2. What is the formula for Compound Interest amount compounded annually?

   A = P(1 + R/100)^T; Compound Interest = A − P.

3. How do you convert a fraction to a percentage?

   Multiply the fraction by 100. For example, 3/4 = (3/4) × 100 = 75%.

4. What is the formula for the average (arithmetic mean) of n numbers?

   Average = (Sum of all observations) / (Number of observations).

5. What is profit percentage based on?

   Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100. Profit and loss are always calculated on the cost price.

6. What is the formula for Loss percentage?

   Loss % = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100, where Loss = Cost Price − Selling Price.

7. How is Selling Price (SP) found when Cost Price (CP) and gain% are known?

   SP = CP × (100 + Gain%) / 100.

8. What is the formula relating Speed, Distance, and Time?

   Speed = Distance / Time; Distance = Speed × Time; Time = Distance / Speed.

9. How do you convert km/hr to m/s?

   Multiply by 5/18. For example, 36 km/hr = 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/s.

10. How do you convert m/s to km/hr?

    Multiply by 18/5. For example, 10 m/s = 10 × 18/5 = 36 km/hr.

11. What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

    Area = length × breadth.

12. What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?

    Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth).

13. What is the formula for the area of a triangle given base and height?

    Area = (1/2) × base × height.

14. What is the formula for the area of a circle?

    Area = πr², where r is the radius.

15. What is the formula for the circumference of a circle?

    Circumference = 2πr (or πd, where d is the diameter).

16. What is the formula for the area of a square?

    Area = side², where side is the length of one side.

17. What is the volume of a cube with side 'a'?

    Volume = a³.

18. What is the volume of a cuboid?

    Volume = length × breadth × height.

19. What is the volume of a cylinder?

    Volume = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

20. What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

    Area = base × height.

21. What is HCF (Highest Common Factor)?

    The largest number that divides two or more given numbers exactly (without leaving a remainder).

22. What is LCM (Lowest Common Multiple)?

    The smallest positive number that is exactly divisible by two or more given numbers.
