Simplification — formula, example and practice
BODMAS, fractions and decimal cleanup — speed matters more than new theory.
Content type: original worked example. Not labelled as a previous-year question.
Timed GK/quant mock Shortcuts CBSE Class 10 Maths 150 questions
Formula
BODMAS / PEMDAS — Brackets, Orders, Division & Multiplication, Addition & Subtraction
Clean an expression in the official order. Fractions and decimals are the usual traps.
What you should learn here
Vinculum (bar) is done before BODMAS brackets. Rare in SSC, common in school books.
Worked example
Question. 18 ÷ 6 × 2 + 4 = ?
Solution. Division and multiplication left to right: 3 × 2 + 4 = 10. Not 18 ÷ 12.
Common mistake. Doing addition before leftover multiplication because “plus looks easier”.
When to use the shortcut. Banking prelims simplification is a speed test. Approximate only when options are far apart.

FAQs
Are these previous-year SSC questions?
No year or shift is claimed on these pages. Each maths section has 150 original practice MCQs. When a verified source database exists, a question will show exam + year; until then it is practice.
Where are Class 10 board formulas?
The CBSE formula sheet at /cbse/class-10/mathematics/formulas/ stays the canonical board list. This maths hub links to it instead of copying every line.
Do you publish tricks that are only sometimes true?
Every shortcut page states when the trick must not be used. A speed trick that fails on close options is not published as if it were a theorem.
