Take Maths. If by chance you aren't interested in pharmacy, then you will have other options also. Even though, if you all take Maths, it will help you, because you would have to study it again in B Pharmacy. Also, if you plan MBA after B.Pharmacy, maths will be of great help.

If you are interested in Pharmacy stream, then maths is not needed, if you choose Maths, as your main subject, you are unable to take Pharmacy. So, choose the PCB in +1 to go to Pharma field.

For studying pharmacy, it is more important to have biology as one of the subjects in class 12. PCMB would be the right choice for you.

Pharmacy doesn't have anything to do with complex mathematics but still, some basic mathematics is required which almost everyone would have learned in their school.
