UNIT-I: NUMBER SYSTEM
Real numbers:
- Irrational number as non-terminating and non-repeating decimals

proving a number to be irrational number should be avoided. Representing an irrational
number on the number line should be avoided for numbers other than 2, 3 and 5

UNIT-II: COMMERCIAL MATHEMATICS
Compound Interest:
- Compound interest when the interest is compounded yearly and half-yearly.

5% or 10%).

- Ratio and proportion.
UNIT-I I I : ALGEBRA
Polynomials:
- Definition of a polynomial in one variable, its coefficients, with examples and counter
examples, its terms, zero polynomial.
- Degree of a polynomial. Constant, linear, quadratic, cubic polynomials; monomials, binomials,
trinomials.
- Factors and multiples.
- Zeros / roots of a polynomial / equation. State and motivate the Remainder Theorem with
examples and analogy to integers.
- Factorisation of ax2 + bx + c, a≠ 0 where a, b, c are real numbers, and of cubic polynomials
using the Factor Theorem.
- Recall of algebraic expressions and identities. Further identities of the type:
(x + y+ z)2 = x2 + y2 +z2 +2xy+2yz +2zx ; (x ± y)3 =x3 ± y3 ± 3xy (x ± y);

Lines and Angles:
1. If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the pair of corresponding angles are
equal.
2. If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the pair of alternate angles are equal.
3. Vertically opposite angles are equal.
4. If a transversal intersects two lines in such a way that a pair of alternate angles is equal, then the
two lines are parallel.
5. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the interior angles on the same side of the
transversal are supplementary.
6. If a transversal intersects two lines in such a way that a pair of interior angles on the same side of
the transversal are supplementary, then the two lines are parallel.
7. Lines which are parallel to a given line are parallel to each other.
8. If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two
interior opposite angles.
Triangles:
1. Two triangles are congruent if any two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to
any two sides and the included angle of the other triangle.
2. Two triangles are congruent if any two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to
any two angles and the included side of the other triangle.
3. Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of the
other triangle.
4. Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are respectively
equal to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle.
5. The angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
6. The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Quadrilaterals and Parallelograms:

2. Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
3. Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
4. Diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.

and is half of it.
6. The line drawn through the mid point of one side of a triangle parallel to another side bisects the
third side.
