Sample PSEB Class 12 Maths Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the PSEB Class 12 Maths exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1On A = {1, 2, 3}, let R = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,2), (2,1)}. Which statement is correct?
A.R is an equivalence relation
B.R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
C.R is transitive but not reflexive
D.R is symmetric but not reflexive
Explanation: Diagonals make R reflexive. (1,2) and (2,1) are both in R, so R is symmetric. Non-trivial chains close with pairs already present, so R is transitive. Hence R is an equivalence relation (classes {1,2} and {3}).
2Let f: ℝ → ℝ be given by f(x) = 2x + 7. Then f is:
A.Onto but not one-one
B.One-one and onto
C.Neither one-one nor onto
D.One-one but not onto
Explanation: f(x₁)=f(x₂) ⇒ 2x₁+7=2x₂+7 ⇒ x₁=x₂, so one-one. For any y∈ℝ, x=(y−7)/2 works, so onto. Thus bijective.
3If f(x) = x² + 1 and g(x) = √x (x ≥ 0), then (g∘f)(3) equals:
A.√8
B.4
C.√10
D.10
Explanation: f(3)=10; (g∘f)(3)=g(10)=√10.
4Let f: {1,2,3} → {a,b,c} with f(1)=a, f(2)=b, f(3)=a. Then f is:
A.Neither one-one nor onto
B.One-one but not onto
C.Onto but not one-one
D.Bijective
Explanation: f(1)=f(3)=a with 1≠3 ⇒ not one-one. Image {a,b} misses c ⇒ not onto.
5If f(x) = 3x − 4 is invertible, f⁻¹(5) equals:
A.1
B.3
C.5/3
D.−1
Explanation: f⁻¹(y)=(y+4)/3, so f⁻¹(5)=3. Check: f(3)=5.
6On ℝ, define a * b = a + b − ab. The identity element for * is:
A.0
B.−1
C.2
D.1
Explanation: Need a*e=a: a+e−ae=a ⇒ e(1−a)=0 for all a ⇒ e=0. Check: a*0=a.
7If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and R = {(1,2), (2,3), (1,3), (3,4)} on A, how many ordered pairs must be added at minimum to make R transitive?
A.3
B.4
C.2
D.1
Explanation: (2,3)+(3,4) force (2,4); (1,3)+(3,4) force (1,4). Minimum add 2 pairs.
8Let f(x) = x³ − 3x + 2. Counting multiplicity, the number of real roots of f(x)=0 is:
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.3
Explanation: f(1)=0. Factor: (x−1)²(x+2)=0. Roots 1 (mult. 2) and −2 (mult. 1); total multiplicity 3.
9The principal value of sin⁻¹(1/2) is:
A.π/6
B.π/3
C.π/4
D.π/2
Explanation: sin(π/6)=1/2 and π/6∈[−π/2,π/2].
10The principal value of cos⁻¹(−1/2) is:
A.π/3
B.π/6
C.−π/3
D.2π/3
Explanation: Principal range [0,π]; cos(2π/3)=−1/2.

About the PSEB Class 12 Maths Exam

Punjab PSEB Senior Secondary Mathematics covers Class 12 board mathematics under Punjab School Education Board (pseb.ac.in). Core topics align with NCERT Class 12 Maths: relations and functions, inverse trigonometric functions, matrices, determinants, continuity and differentiability, applications of derivatives, integrals, applications of integrals, differential equations, vectors, three-dimensional geometry, linear programming, and probability. The official subject is listed as code 028 Mathematics with Theory 80 + INA 20 = 100 and a typical 3-hour theory sitting; pass rules require 33% separately and in aggregate per current scheme of studies. This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs with calculation-heavy practice; pair it with the official Class 12 syllabus and school textbooks via pseb.ac.in.

Exam sponsor: Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

PSEB Senior Secondary Mathematics is the Class 12 board theory paper under Punjab School Education Board. Official scheme of studies and date sheets list subject code 028 Mathematics with Theory 80 + Internal Assessment (INA) 20 = 100 and a typical theory duration of about 3 hours. Syllabus coverage follows PSEB Class 12 Mathematics (NCERT Class 12 Maths chapters: Relations and Functions; Inverse Trigonometric Functions; Matrices; Determinants; Continuity and Differentiability; Applications of Derivatives; Integrals; Applications of Integrals; Differential Equations; Vector Algebra; Three Dimensional Geometry; Linear Programming; Probability). Official section marks and compulsory/optional patterns are year-dependent; confirm the sample/model paper and circular for your session on pseb.ac.in. This 100-question bank weights calculus ~40%, matrices/determinants ~15%, vectors/3D ~15%, probability/LPP ~15%, and relations/inverse trig ~15% as an English four-option MCQ study adaptation — not an official blueprint replica.

Time Limit

About 3 hours (Senior Secondary Mathematics theory; subject code 028). Confirm the year’s official date sheet and admit card.

Passing Score

Pass 33% separately (theory and internal assessment where required) and 33% in aggregate for the subject under current PSEB Senior Secondary rules unless a later circular states otherwise.

Exam / Certification Fees

As notified by PSEB and paid through affiliated schools/centres for regular and compartment/improvement sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).

PSEB Class 12 Maths: Suggested Study Strategy

1Weight revision time toward calculus (derivatives, integrals, DE): it dominates Class 12 board scoring and this bank’s ~40% mix.
2Always write the formula line before substituting numbers — matrices, determinants, and 3D distance formulas reward careful setup.
3For inverse trig, memorize principal ranges (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹) before simplifying compound expressions.
4In probability, state independence or mutual exclusivity explicitly so you use P(A)P(B) vs P(A)+P(B) correctly.
5For LPP, list all corner points of the feasible region and evaluate Z at each; the graphical optimum is always at a corner for linear objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PSEB Senior Secondary Mathematics officially examined?

Mathematics is examined under the Punjab Senior Secondary (Class 12) public examination by Punjab School Education Board.
