I completed my 10th board exam. I have secured good marks in science,social and English, but I'm poor in maths but my aim is to crack CA. Is it possible to crack CA and what are the exams will be there for CA then CA is easy or hard.

Sorry to say but it is a bit difficult to crack CA if not good in mathematics as because the examinations for CA like CA CPT, CA IPCC and CA Final all consists of basic mathematics, Accounting.
So, in order to crack CA, you must be good in mathematics.
Since you have completed you 10th standard now, you have 2 years of time to practice mathematics and Accounting.
In order to appear for CA CPT exam which is a first step toward CA, you must have passed 10+2 standard or its equivalent from a recognized board of education.But you can register for CPT (Common Proficiency Test) to the Board of Studies of the Indian Chartered Accountancy of India (ICAI) after completing 10th standard.

Mathematics is necessary for Chartered Accountancy course. You will have to face problems in certain understanding of CA course without mathematics.

You can yourself short this issue by solving this issue by solving those sections which is needed in CA course.

Eligibility criteria for admission in Delhi University is B.Com is that candidate must have studied mathematics in 12th standard, otherwise they are not eligible for UG admissions.

Yes, it is possible to crack CA, if the candidate is not good in mathematics also. Mathematics is required to clear the Common Proficiency Test (CPT) to qualify for the CA IPCC. Candidates with graduation can pursue CA IPCC directly without clearing CPT. The mathematical knowledge is an added advantage for the CA aspirants. One should understand CA is a profession with numbers so, it is better to learn mathematics to pursue your career in the Chartered Accountancy profession. Candidates should be aware of interest, profit and loss, ratios, percentage etc. to pursue their career in CA profession.

CA course deals with numbers and it is advantageous to have good knowledge about mathematics. You should also remember that CA is a very tough course and it required ample amount of hard work and dedication to become a CA. Your weakness in Mathematics will add to the difficulty of cracking CA. You will also have to clear a mathematics paper in CPT foundation course and IPCC course. If you are unable to clear any paper in CPT or in IPCC level you will not qualify to the final level.

However it is never late to start hard work. It will be good for you if you try to improve your mathematical skills and knowledge. CA without mathematics is not going to be easy.
