The significance of past never diminishes, either in effect or substance. To forget this moot point becomes suicidal sometimes. A minute observation of the past and accumulated experiences help us in shaping our present. The positive and compendious conclusions drawn from the past become our pioneer in charting new ways and teach us to rectify our remedies. Our present is, thus, beautified. Where there is beauty, attraction cannot be negated. It is in this way that the foundation of a concrete future is further solidified. Aspirations turn into realities. This is a realistic reflection. If the past is forgotten by marginalizing this realism, the truth of past surfaces as a path strewn with pebbles. If we preserve and cherish these pebbles of the past and make correct use of them, they become the linchpin of an edifice called success. Thus, the intricacies of our path become effortless and our destination gets more and more intelligible. Kiran Prakashan Pvt. Ltd., which has been at your service for decades and helping you with the multitude of relevant offerings, has made a meaningful effort to put together these invaluable and very useful pebbles in the form of a book, titled Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers. It is an undeniable truth that the continuous motion of the past gives birth to change. Change gets inevitability. These changes bring coherence to the changed circumstances and fulfil the exact needs of the present. We reach our destinations only by striking coordination with these changes, lest we should find ourselves at the last row in this age of competition. The destination will be left as something impertinent. Our esteemed readers must be well aware of the changes introduced by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in the selection process for different posts. Kiran Prakashan has been keeping you updated with all the relevant information related to these very changes. According to Students, Teachers and Coaching Directors’ demand this book has been changed and arranged by Topicwise/Typewise. The latest edition of Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers which is revised, enlarged and updated is another example of our sincere commitment to our readers, imparting completeness in their search for a better and secure future. We have updated each chapter with concise study material and tricky solutions have been provided wherever needed. The book before you, Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers, has been based on the questions of Quantitative Aptitude/ Numerical ability that have been asked in the various competitive examinations at the CGL (Tier I & II), CHSL (10+2) and Matric levels. This book has been conceived as a holistic treatment and single solution to all the difficulties that a candidate encounters while appearing for the SSC exams. The Think-Tank of Kiran Prakashan has taken into account the needs and difficulties of candidates and made an attempt to simplify the subject matter by de-constructing every thread and each pattern. The questions asked in the different examinations conducted by the SSC have been not only compiled at one place, but also compartmentalized topicwise/typewise to grasp and digest easily with the help of comprehensive explanations and tricky solutions. This is a rare collection of more than 8900 questions and their respective explanations. It wouldn’t be bragging if we say, do master these questions and their explanations, you will automatically find yourself at ease with most of what surfaces in form of examination questions. In other words, master this book sincerely; success will itself become the mistress.  This edition of Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers has been parceled out into 22 chapters, each dealing with study materials, Topicwise and comprising bulk of questions and explanations. The chapters are : Number System, LCM and HCF, Simplification, Power, Indices and Surds, Average, Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Discount, Simple Interest, Compound Interest, Time and Work, Pipe and Cistern, Time and Distance, Boat and Streams, Sequence and Series, Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Mensuration, Statistics and Data Interpretation and Miscellaneous. Explanations to the questions serve in some way as highly directed study material. We have ensured not to bombard you with bulky study materials which sometimes prove futile if a candidate is facing severe crunch of time. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, considered the supreme genius of modern German literature, said once: “What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” Relating to what Goethe had to say, we are proud to have made the beginning of a start. And, that start is Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers, where facts have been consolidated and refined and presented in the easy-to-digest objective question format which have actually been already asked in the different levels and formats of competitive examinations. Scientifically it has been proved that you tend to remember anything for long if that has been asked from you and you found yourself in a testing situation. So, this book has been scientifically weaved on the principle of ‘Test to Prepare and Success.’ As our experience suggests, SSC, to a great extent, follows the pattern of questions asked in previous examinations. But the scope has been enlarged now. Earlier syllabus was of Arithmetic alone, now it is syllabus of Mathematics. New syllabus has some new topics such as, Trigonometry, Geometry and Algebra with Co-ordinate Geometry. The new syllabus has been given in the introduction. Last, but not the least, there is no shortcut to success. Only hard work and perseverance pays rich dividends in the long term. So, it is desirable on your part to make the best out of this unique offering before you. Let us remind you that the questions you find in this book will not only help you prepare for the SSC examinations, they will equip you with the much required knowledge and insight in ‘cracking’ other examinations as well. Hugh Nibley, the famous American author and Mormon apologist said: “Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don’t, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit.” Our researchers have taken painstaking efforts in the direction of accommodating and expanding to the limit. The guiding principle has been to have an eye on whatever is significant, and when you do have such a microscopic eye, there is little that can be expected to have been ignored. So, here is our new, novel and unique offering to you, Kiran’s SSC Mathematics Chapterwise Solved Papers. You will find a CD and scratch card for online test. This will help you prepare for the SSC online exam pattern. Read this book with pen and paper and digest it thoroughly to reach the limits of life. Have a serious glance to know what it is all about.

Ø Till now SSC conducted Combined Graduation level Examination used to be held in two parts i.e. Tier-I and Tier-II. But from now onwards this examination will be held in four parts i.e. Tier-I, Tier-II, Tier-III and Tier-IV. Ø Earlier in SSC conducted Tier-I Exam used to have 50 questions on Mathematics out of 200 questions, while in Tier-II a candidate had to answer 100 questions. But from 2016 onwards in Tier-I out of 100 questions, 25 questions will be on Mathematics, while a candidate has to answer 100 questions in Tier-II. Ø SSC Conducts Tier-I examination for CHSL of 100 questions out of which Mathematics carries a weightage of 25 questions. Ø Matric Level exams are conducted for Multi Tasking Staff in which out of 150, 25 questions are from Mathematics and in Constable GD exam weightage of Mathematics is 25 questions out of 100. Ø The Changing nature of Mathematics questions in recent exams conducted by SSC make this subject very important and deciding factor in success or failure.
