Some of the important Percentage ratios, which are

very useful in solving the problems.

Dont get tensed by looking at complex trigonometric

Important percentage ratios, 16.66% = 1/6, 14.28% = 1/7,

12.5% = 1/8, 11.11% = 1/9, 9.09% = 1/11, 8.33% = 1/12,
6.66% = 1/15, 6.25% = 1/16, 80% = 4/5, 120% = 6/5,
125% = 5/4etc
A merchant allows a discount of 16.66% on the marked
price (MP) of an article and gains 25%. If the article cost
(CP) the merchant at rs.400, find the ratio of listed price
and selling price? (A) 5: 6 (B) 6: 5 (C) 5: 4 (D) 3: 2
Solution: SP = MP Discount = MP 16.66%MP = 1(1/6) = 5/6MP, SP = (5/6) MP, MP: SP = 6: 5

equations, just substitute angles 900 , 0 0 etc.

triangle BCD?

(Basic Pythagorean triplets 3, 4, 5 (52 = 42 + 32)) so option
B is satisfied for m = 1 which is equal to 3/5.
Other Pythagorean triplets: 5, 12, 13; 7, 24, 25; 8, 15,
17; 9, 40, 41; 11, 60, 61; 12, 35, 37; 20, 21, 29.

Solution: Substitute, m =1, tan =

Root Words (General English)

Solution: In the figure, GF//ED so GF will divide AE

and AD in the same ratio. G, E, F and D are the midpoints
of AE, AB, AD and AC respectively. GF, EF, ED and BD
are medians in the triangles
and

AFE,

AED,

ADB

ABC. Medians divide triangle into two equal

parts, i.e. area of two parts is same. Assume area of

AGF is x, so that area of

GFE also equal to x, area of

AFE becomes x + x = 2x. Shown in the figure,

Ratio of Area of

EFG/ Area of

BCD = x/8x = 1/8.

Similarly Area of

AGF/ Area of EDCB = x/12x = 1/12

Gyny = woman, phil = love, mis = hate, anthrope =

mankind
Philogyny = who loves woman, misogyny= who
hates woman, gynecologist =who treats woman.
Philanthropist= who love mankind,
misanthropist= who hates mankind, anthropology=study
of mankind.
Thee = God
Theist = who believes god, Atheist =who doesnt
believe god, Theomania = thinking oneself as
god, thearchy= GOVT by Gods, pantheist =who
believes everything is god & god is everything.
Omni = all/every
Omnipresent = everywhere present (God),
Omnipotent = all powerful (God), omniscient =
all knowledge, omni car = for everyone.

SSC CGL (Tier I) Exam Strategy

In Tier I how you manage time (120 minutes) is important
One of the best strategy for this, General English 20 minutes (25 + marks), General Awareness 10
minutes (20 + marks), General Intelligence 35 min (40 + marks) and Quantitative Aptitude 55 min (35 +
marks). Compare to other exams, here Reasoning and English sections will be easy, try to get maximum
marks in any two sections, complete GS and English parts within 30 minutes or else that will kill your time
for Quant and Reasoning parts, it is the main reason many are struck in Tier I itself. Write as many test
papers as you can. Read only from few standard books, do not completely believe in any institutes materials
