Targeting 80% in Board Exams

1 Algebra (20 Marks)


√ √
1. Irrationality Proofs: Proving numbers like 3 or 5 − 2 are irrational.
2. Polynomial Relationships: Verifying the relation between zeroes and coefficients: α + β = − ab
and αβ = ac .
a1 b1 c1
3. Consistency Conditions: Using a2 , b2 , c2 to find unique, infinite, or no solutions.
4. Algebraic Methods: Solving linear equations using Substitution and Elimination methods.

5. Nature of Roots: Solving for k in ax2 +bx+c = 0 when roots are real and equal (D = b2 −4ac = 0).
6. Quadratic Word Problems: Real-world applications based on speed, distance, and age.
7. Arithmetic Progression (nth term): Applying an = a + (n − 1)d.
n
8. Sum of AP: Finding the sum of the first n terms using Sn = 2 [2a + (n − 1)d].

2. Similarity Criteria: Application of AA, SAS, and SSS similarity in triangles.

3. Circle Theorems: Theorem 10.2: Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
4. Trigonometric Identities: Proving complex expressions using sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1, 1 + tan2 θ =
sec2 θ, and 1 + cot2 θ = csc2 θ.
5. Heights and Distances: Word problems involving angle of elevation and depression (usually 4
or 5 marks).

3 Mensuration & Statistics (21 Marks)
