Foreword

This bilingual study material incorporates the latest changes in the CBSE

curriculum 2012-13. All efforts have been made to make the book exhaustive by

including frequently asked questions, Common errors, Quick revision questions

for low achievers, HOTS, Sample Question Papers with model answers and

handy tips on solving numerical problems etc.

The main objectives of this support material are as follows:

a. To supplement the existing material

b. Simplify key concept of each unit with an extensive question bank

including HOTS to address students’ requirement to score good marks.

c. To help students attain minimum level competencies with Chapter wise

weightage of marks.

d. To familiarize students with latest exam pattern, marking scheme and

expected answers.

I hope this revised study material will fully equip students to face the ensuing

examinations.
