💡 High Weightage Alert
Unit III — Calculus (35 marks) is the highest-weightage unit. Prioritise PYQs from Chapters 5–9 (especially Integrals and Differential Equations). Unit IV — Vectors & 3D Geometry (14 marks) is the second most important. Together they account for 49 out of 80 marks.
🔍 Chapter Spotlight — Ch. 1 & Ch. 2 PYQ Coverage
Ch.1
Relations and Functions
PYQs on empty/universal/equivalence relations, reflexive/symmetric/transitive properties, equivalence classes, one-one, onto and bijective functions including domain/codomain/range questions. Includes 2025 AR question: bijective function f:Z→Z defined as f(x) = 3x−5.
Ch.2
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
PYQs on principal value branches (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹, cot⁻¹), evaluation of expressions like sin⁻¹(sin(−10π/3)) and cot⁻¹(−1/√3), domain/range problems, and key ITF identities tested in MCQ & numerical format.
🎯 How to Use This PYQ Bank for Board 2026
1
Start with High-Weightage Units
Begin with Unit III (Calculus — 35 marks) PYQs, then Unit IV (Vectors & 3D — 14 marks). Don't leave these for last.
2
Do Topicwise, Not Random
Use the chapterwise & topicwise organisation — finish all PYQs on "Integrals by Parts" before moving to the next topic.
3
Study Common Mistakes First
Read the "Common Mistake" section before attempting questions — it tells you exactly where marks are typically lost.
4
Match Step-by-Step Solutions
Compare your solutions step-by-step with the CBSE marking scheme solutions — every intermediate step carries marks.
5
Track Repeat Questions
Mark questions that have appeared in 3+ years — these are almost certain to appear again in 2026 in the same or slightly varied form.
6
Revise Key Concepts
Use the Key Concept and Concept Enhancer sections after PYQ practice to consolidate gaps — don't skip these.
“Previous year questions don't just prepare you for what was asked — they reveal the pattern of what will be asked. 10 years of PYQs is the closest thing to a board exam prediction.”
