Maths Question Paper for CBSE Class 12 - 2016

Relations and Functions, algebra are two chapters from the CBSE Class 12 Maths syllabus. Relations and functions deal with:

• Reflexive, symmetric, transitive and equivalence relations

• Functions

On the other hand algebra deals with:

• Concept

• Notation, Order, equality, 

• types of matrices

• zero and identity matrix

• transpose of a matrix

• symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices. 

• Operation on matrices

• Functions of Addition and multiplication and multiplication with a scalar. 

•  Invertible matrices;

• Determinant of a square Matrix (up to 3 x 3 matrices)

• minors, cofactors and applications of determinants in finding the area of a triangle. 

• Adjoint and inverse of a square Matrix. 

• Solving a system of linear equations in two or three variables (having a unique solution) using the inverse of a Matrix.

Calculus and Linear programming are another two chapters in the CBSE Class 12 Maths syllabus. Calculus teaches:

• Continuity and differentiability

•  Concept of exponential and logarithmic functions.

• derivative of functions expressed in parametric forms

• Second-order derivatives.

• Applications of derivatives: increasing/decreasing functions

• tangents and normals, maxima and minima 

• Simple problems 

Linear programming deals with:

•  Graphical method of solution for problems in two variables

• feasible and infeasible regions (bounded)

• feasible and infeasible solutions, optimal feasible solutions

The entire term paper is of 50 marks. An internal assessment by the faculty carries 10 marks and the remaining 40 marks are evaluated in external Examination. Out of the 10 marks allotted for internal assessment, 5 marks are assessed for periodic tests and the rest 5 marks are assessed for mathematics record, term-end assessment activity and viva. To know more about these activities students can refer to lab manuals. Any 4 activities in term 1 and another 4 activities in term 2 should be performed. These activities are to be taken from the lab manual. 3 marks are allotted for the activities and 2 marks for the viva. Students have to carefully do their activities to score well in the internal assessment and they can take their senior’s help for the same. 

Students can get good marks in Maths by practising as many problems as they can. To do this, they can practice the exercises given in their textbooks, buy some question banks and also model questions offline or online. But another important source to get practice questions is previous year question papers. They can refer to it and solve them. This will also help them understand the weightage pattern. They will get accustomed to the Exam environment. Solving more questions will improve their efficiency and also teaches them how to manage their limited time. Solving more questions will also help in improving their answer writing skills.
