Dear Students,

Welcome to the eleventh standard!

You have successfully completed your secondary education and have entered the
higher secondary level. You will now need to learn certain mathematical concepts and acquire
some statistical skills to add more applicability to your work. Maharashtra State Bureau of
Textbook Production and Curriculum Research has modified and restructured the curriculum
in Mathematics in accordance with changing needs.
The curriculum of Mathematics is divided in two parts. Part 1 covers topics in
Trignometry, Algebra, Co-ordinate Geometry and Statistics. Part 2 covers Complex Numbers,
Sets and Relations, Calculus and Combinatorics. There is a special emphasis on applications.
Activities are added in every chapter for creative thinking.
Some material will be made available on E-balbharati website (ebalbharati.in). It
contains a list of specimen practical problems on each chapter. Students should complete the
practical exercises under the guidance of their teachers. Maintain a journal and take teacher’s
signature on every completed practical.
You are encouraged to use modern technology in your studies. Explore the Internet for
more recent information and problems on topics in the curriculum. You will enjoy learning if
you study the textbook thoroughly and manage to solve problems.
On the title page Q.R. code is given. It will help you to get more knowledge and clarity
about the contents.
This textbook is prepared by Mathematics Subject Committee and members of study
group. This book has also been reviewed by senior teachers and subject experts. The Bureau
is grateful to all of them and would like to thank for their contribution in the form of creative
writing, constructive criticism and valuable suggestions in making this book useful to you and
helpful to your teachers.
The Bureau hopes that the textbook will be received well by all stakeholders in the right
spirit.
You are now ready to study. Best wishes for a happy learning experience.

Activity No. 1 Definition:

Draw the angle ABC of measure 40° The ordered pair of rays (OA,OB ) together
with the rotation of the ray OA to the position
of the ray OB is called the directed angle
∠AOB.
If the rotation of the initial ray is
anticlockwise then the measure of directed
angle is considered as positive and if it is
clockwise then the measure of directed angle
Fig. 1.1 is considered as negative. In the ordered pair
(OA,OB ), the ray OA is called the initial arm
and the ray OB is called the terminal arm.

Fig. 1.2
In the Fig.s 1.1 and 1.2 both the angles are
of 40°. But one is measured in anticlockwise
direction and the other is measured in clockwise

Observe Fig 1.3(b) and note that One fourth of one rotation angle is called
(OA,OB ) ≠ (OB ,OA) as one right angle, it is also half of a straight
∠ AOB ≠ ∠ BOA angle. One rotation angle is four right angles.

∠ AOB ≠ ∠ BOA even though they have

same amount of rotation.
Zero angle:
If the ray OA has zero rotation, that is
it does not rotate, the initial arm itself is a
terminal arm OB, the angle so formed is zero
angle.

After one complete rotation if the initial Angles in Standard position :
ray OA coincides with the terminal ray OB In the rectangular co-ordinate system, a
then so formed angle is known as one rotation directed angle with its vertex at origin O and
angle m∠ AOB = 360°. the initial ray along the positive X-axis, is
called angle in standard position.

Fig. 1.5
Straight angle:
After the rotation, if the initial ray OA and
the terminal ray OB are in opposite directions
then directed angle so formed is known as
straight angle (fig. 1.6).

Fig. 1.8
In adjoint Fig. 1.8, ∠XOP, ∠XOQ and
Fig. 1.6 ∠XOR are in standard positions. But, ∠POQ
is not in standard position.
Note that in this case AOB is a straight
line.

Angle in a Quadrant:
A directed angle in standard position
is said to be in a particular quadrant if its
terminal ray lies in that quadrant.
Fig. 1.10 (b)
In Fig. 1.8, directed angles ∠XOP,
∠XOQ and ∠XOR lie in first, second and In Fig. 1.10(a), the directed angles having

A directed angle in standard position

is called a quadrantal angle. angles then difference between measures of
these two directed angles is an integral multiple
of 360° e.g. in figure 1.10(a), 390° − (−330)°
= 720° = 2 × 360°.

1.1.1 Measures of angles:

The amount of rotation from the initial ray
OA to the terminal ray OB gives the measure
of angle AOB. It is measured in two systems.

Fig. 1.9

In Fig. 1.9, ∠XOP, ∠XOQ, ∠XOR and x

∠XOS are all quadrantal angles.

1.1.2 Sexagesimal System (Degree Measure):

In this system, the unit of measurement

m ∠ (one rotation angle) = 360°

m ∠ (straight angle) = 180°

In this system, the unit of measurement
of an angle is a radian.

is the property (7) that we had seen earlier. Since
it is very important we give its proof. The other
properties can also be proved in the same way.
This can be proved by two methods
a) Using the definition of probability.
b) Using Venn diagram.
We assume that all outcomes are equally
likely and sample space S contains finite
number of outcomes.
(a) Using the definition of probability:
Fig. 9.1
If A and B are any two events, then event
A∪B can be decomposed into two mutually n(A∪B) = (x−z) + z + (y−z)
exclusive events A∩B' and B ∴ n(A∪B) = x + y – z
i.e. A∪B = (A∩B')∪B n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∩B)
∴ P(A∪B) = P[(A∩B')∪B] Dividing both sides by n(S), we get
= P(A∩B') + P(B)
[By property 10] n(A U B) n (A) n (B) n(A I B)
n(S) = + – n(S)
n (S) n (S)
= P(A) – P(A∩B) + P(B)
[By property 8] ∴ P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B).
Hence P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A∩B)

(b) Using Venn diagram:

Let n(S) = n = Total no. of distinct possible
outcomes in the sample space S.
