This is the most important section in SSC CGL Exam. This section can be the base for the candidate to get into the merit list. Important topics of the section are:

1. Algebra

 Areas to focus – Algebraic Identities, Factorization & Simplification of Polynomials and Simplification of Fractions.

 Useful Formulas

 (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy

 (x – y)2 = x2 + y2 – 2xy

 (x2 – y2) = (x + y) (x – y)

 (x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)

 (x – y)3 = x3 – y3 – 3xy(x – y)

 (x3 + y3) = (x + y) (x2 + y2 – xy)

 (x3 – y3) = (x – y) (x2 + y2 + xy)

 (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy + yz + zx)

 (x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz) = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx)

 If x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz

2. Trigonometry

 You should only focus on basics. There is no need to study deeply.

 Grab basic knowledge about “Theta (θ)” i.e. sin θ, cos θ, tan θ, cot θ, sec θ, cosec θ and their relationship.

 Useful Formulas

Pythagorean Identities

 sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

 tan2 θ + 1 = sec2 θ

 cot2 θ + 1 = csc2 θ

Negative of a Function

 sin (–x) = –sin x

 cos (–x) = cos x

 tan (–x) = –tan x

 csc (–x) = –csc x

 sec (–x) = sec x

 cot (–x) = –cot x

If A + B = 90o, Then

 Sin A = Cos B

 Sin2A + Sin2B = Cos2A + Cos2B = 1

 Tan A = Cot B

 Sec A = Csc B

 3. Geometry

 You should focus on properties of Lines, Angle, Triangle, Quadrilateral, Polygon, Circle and Concept of Triplet.

 Useful Formulas

Triangles:

 By Sides:

 Scalene – no congruent sides

 Isosceles – 2 congruent sides

 Equilateral – 3 congruent sides

 By Angles:

 Acute – all acute angles

 Right – one right angle

 Obtuse – one obtuse angle

 Equiangular – 3 congruent angles(60º)

 Equilateral ↔ Equiangular

 Exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the 2 non-adjacent interior angles.

 Mid-segment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length of the third side.

Similar Triangles:

 AA = “Angle-Angle” (two angles are same)

 SSS = “Side-Side-Side” (All sides are same)

 SAS =”Side-Angle-Side” (Two sides and one angle is same)

4. Profit & Loss

 You have to make strong the concepts of basic calculation and approximation in order to save your time.

 Useful formulas

If there is a Profit

 Profit / Gain = S.P. – C.P.

 Profit % = Profit / (C P) × 100

 P. = (100 + Gain %) / 100 × C.P.

 P. = 100 / (100 + Gain %) × S.P.

If there is a Loss

 Loss = C.P. – S.P.

 Loss % = Loss / (C.P.) × 100

 P. = (100 – Loss %) / 100 × C.P.

 P. = 100 / (100 – Loss %) × S.P.

The India-Japan Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy entered into force on July 20, 2017 with the exchange of diplomatic notes between Dr. S. Jaishankar, Foreign Secretary and H.E. Mr. Kenji Hiramatsu, Ambassador of Japan to India.

• The pact was signed in Tokyo during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Japan on November 11, 2016.

• India is the first non-member of the non-proliferation treaty (NPT) to have signed such a deal with Japan. The deal will help India access Japan’s nuclear market.
• The deal includes the option that Japan can give a year’s notice before terminating it in case India breaks the nuclear testing moratorium that it had extended to the Nuclear Suppliers Group in 2008.
• The deal is significant as it will help guarantee Japan’s continued support to India’s civil nuclear programme.
• The deal will bring Japan into the Indian nuclear market where France and Russia have already have a strong presence.

      Significance 

• This Agreement is a reflection of the strategic partnership between India and Japan and will pave the way for enhanced cooperation in energy security and clean energy.
• It seeks to promote full cooperation between the two countries in the development and uses of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes on a stable, reliable and predictable basis.
• The deal is essential for bringing a network of nuclear energy cooperation for India, especially with the U.S. as prominent American nuclear companies are owned by the Japanese nuclear majors.
