Class Xii Maths Competency Focused Questions (Cbse and Ei) 2024

Mathematics (Volume 1) | Grade 12

Preface
Assessments are an important tool that help gauge learning. They provide valuable feedback about
the effectiveness of instructional methods; about what students have actually understood and also
provide actionable insights. The National Education Policy, 2020 has outlined the importance of
competency‐based assessments in classrooms as a means to reform curriculum and pedagogical
methodologies. The policy emphasizes on the development of higher order skills such as analysis,
critical thinking and problem solving through classroom instructions and aligned assessments.
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been collaborating with Educational Initiatives (Ei)
in the area of assessment. Through resources like the Essential Concepts document and A‐ Question‐
A‐Day (AQAD), high quality questions and concepts critical to learning have been shared with schools
and teachers.
Continuing with the vision to ensure that every student is learning with understanding, Question
Booklets have been created for subjects for Grade 10th and 12th. These booklets contain
competency‐based items, designed specifically to test conceptual understanding and application of
concepts.
Process of creating competency‐based items
All items in these booklets are aligned to the NCERT curriculum and have been created keeping in
mind the learning outcomes that are important for students to understand and master. Items are a
mix of Free Response Questions (FRQs) and Multiple‐Choice Questions (MCQs). In case of MCQs, the
options (correct answer and distractors) are specifically created to test for understanding and
capturing specific errors/misconceptions that students may harbour. Each incorrect option can
thereby inform teachers on specific gaps that may exist in student learning. In case of subjective
questions, each question also has a detailed scoring rubric to guide evaluation of students’
responses.
Each item has been reviewed by experts, to check for appropriateness of the item, validity of the
item, conceptual correctness, language accuracy and other nuances.
How can these item booklets be used?
There are 267 questions in this booklet.
The purpose of these item booklets is to provide samples of high‐quality competency‐based items to
teachers. The items can be used to–
● get an understanding of what good competency‐based questions could look like
● give exposure to students to competency‐based items
● assist in classroom teaching and learning
● get inspiration to create more such competency‐based items
Students can also use this document to understand different kinds of questions and practice specific
concepts and competencies. There will be further additions in the future to provide competency
focused questions on all chapters.
The item booklets are aligned with the 2022‐23 curriculum. However, a few questions from topic
which got rationalized in 2023‐24 syllabus are also there in the booklet which may be used as a
reference for teachers and students.
Please write back to us to give your feedback.

Correct Answer Explanation
206
Correct
Chapter Name Q. No Correct Answer Explanation
Answer
Since the number of elements in the codomain (set B)

is greater than that in the domain (set A), for any
function, there will be at least one element in the
2 1
co‐domain (set B) which is not an image of any
element in the domain (set A). Hence option A is the
correct answer.
The given relation is reflexive as it contains all the

elements of the form (x, x).
The given relation is symmetric since for every

(x, y) in the relation, (y, x) is also in the relation.
4 1
Relations and
Functions The given relation is transitive as it DOES NOT contain
any pair of elements of the form (x, y) and (y, z).
Hence option A is the correct answer.
f(1)=1, f(2)=0, f(3)=2, f(4)=0, f(5)=3... All the odd

numbers are being mapped to positive integers and
all the even numbers are being mapped to 0. The
function is onto as all the non‐negative integers of the
7 2
co‐domain are the images of some elements in the
domain. The function is not one‐one as more than one
even number is getting mapped to 0. Hence, option B
is the correct answer.
Domain of arcsec(x) is (‐∞, ‐1] U [1, ∞) and domain of

arcsin(x) is [‐1, 1]. For the given function, the domain
1 1 would be intersection of the two domains. That is,
Inverse (‐∞, ‐1] U [1, ∞) ∩ [‐1, 1] = {‐1, 1}. Hence, option A is
Trigonometric the correct answer.
Functions
Domain of arccos(x) is [‐1, 1]. So 1/x‐3 should belong
3 3 to [‐1, 1]. Solving the inequality ‐1 ≤ 1/(x ‐ 3) ≤ 1 gives
x ≤ 2 and x ≥ 4. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
i) Columns 1 and 3 are identical, so upon exchanging

them, the matrix is unchanged. ii) Third row is a zero
row, so adding any scalar multiple of it to another row
Matrices 1 4
will keep the row unchanged. iii) Column 2 is a zero
column, so multiplying it with (‐1) keeps the matrix
unaltered. Hence option D is the correct answer.
207
The order of the two matrices given are 2x3. A matrix
of order 2x3 is not compatible for multiplication with
another matrix of order 2x3. Only matrices with
orders of the form 3xk, where k is a natural number,
2 4
are compatible to multiply with matrices of order 2x3.
Thus, none of their answers is correct.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Taking 3 common from the second row and 2

common from the third row one can observe that the
elements of first row are identical to the elements of
Determinants 5 3 the third row. Given that the determinant is 0, this
can happen when 2 rows are the same. So 2cos(2x)
could come in the box which is the second element of
row 3. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
In g(x), (x‐1) is differentiable everywhere. |x‐1| is not

differentiable at 1. Graph of g(x) shows that it is
differentiable everywhere. Thus, product of a
differentiable function and a non‐differentiable
function could be differentiable.
In f(x), x is differentiable everywhere. |x‐1| is not

Continuity and
1 3 differentiable at 1. Graph of f(x) is pointed at x=1, that
Differentiability
means it is not differentiable at 1. Thus, product of a
differentiable function and a non‐differentiable
function could be non‐differentiable.
Therefore, product of a differentiable function and a

non‐differentiable function MAY BE differentiable.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
f'(x)=2x˄2‐18. Equating f'(x) to zero gives the critical

points as (+3) and (‐3). f"(x)=4x. f"(‐3)<0 and f"(3)>0,
Application of
4 2 that means function attains maxima at (‐3) and
Derivatives
minima at (+3). Thus the function is decreasing in the
interval [‐3, 3]. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is false. For example, integral of (‐x) in

the interval (1, 2) is (‐3/2). If integral exists in (a, b),
then the function is continuous in (a, b), because, in
Integrals 2 2 an interval if the function is continuous only then it
can be integrated. Thus, statement 2 is true.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
The general solution of this differential equation is

Differential
5 4 asinx + bcosx, where a and b are arbitrary constants.
Equations
Bulbul's particular solution is obtained when a=1 and
208
b=0. Ipsita's particular solution is obtained when a=0
and b=1. Sagarik's particular solution is obtained
when a= 1 and b=1. Thus all three of their answers are
particular solutions. Thus, option D is the correct
answer.
v x u = ‐w. Angle between w and (‐w) is 180 degrees.

2 3
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Cross product of two vectors is given by |a||b|sin ϴ,

Vector Algebra where Ѳ is the angle between a and b. |a| and |b|
3 2 are positive being magnitudes. sin Ѳ is maximum
when the angle between a and b is ninety degrees.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
