Comments of Examiners
(a) Most of the candidates attempted this part correctly. Suggestions for teachers
Errors were committed by a few candidates while í Help the students to identify whether
calculating value of ‘y’. the question is based on aggregate or
average method. Thorough
(b) Moving averages were mostly correctly calculated but
knowledge of the formula is required.
for plotting, centered moving averages were required.
Some candidates did not use the centered averages. In í Moving Averages need to be
some cases, the graphs were not neat. calculated correct to two decimal
places. For plotting, centered
averages correct to one decimal place
are sufficient. The axes should be
labelled and the plotting and
sketching should be as neat as
possible; the graph should be given a
caption.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
(a) Topics found difficult by candidates:
 Indefinite Integrals (use of substitution or integration by parts)
 Definite Integrals – use of properties.
 Inverse Circular Functions (formulae and relations)
 Differential Equations (solving Homogeneous and Linear Differential Equations)
 Vectors – in general
 Annuity (Deferred annuities)
 Conics in general
 Probability – use of sum and product laws and identifying all cases.
 Maxima and Minima
(b) Concepts in which candidates got confused:
 Regression lines: y on x and x on y
 Sum and product laws of probability
 3 – D: Image
age of a given ppoint andd perpendicular distance
 Conditional probability property in Baye’s theorem

GFS
 Price Index by aggregate and Price Relative methods
 Differences between and usage of formulae for BD, TD, BG, DV, etc.
(c)) Suggestions for candidates:
 Study the entire syllabus thoroughly and revise from time to time. Concepts of Class XI m must
be revised and integrated with the Class XII syllabus.
 Develop logical and reasoning skills to have a clear understanding.
 Revise all topicss and formulae involved and make a chapter wise or topic-wise list of these.
 Make wise choices from the options available in the question paper and management time
wisely.
 Be methodical and neat in working.
