Sample Tamil Nadu SSLC Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu SSLC Mathematics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The set of ordered pairs R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)} defines a relation from A = {1, 2, 3} to B = {2, 3, 4}. This relation is:

A.Not a function, because 1 is mapped twice

B.A function from A to B

C.Not a function, because B has more elements than A

D.A function only if we remove (3, 4)

Explanation: Each element of the domain A appears exactly once as a first coordinate, so R is a function from A to B.

2If f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}, the domain of f is:

A.{4, 5, 6}

B.{1, 2, 3}

C.{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

D.{1, 6}

Explanation: The domain is the set of first components of the ordered pairs: {1, 2, 3}.

3The first term of an AP is 5 and the common difference is 4. The 15th term is:

A.57

B.61

C.65

D.69

Explanation: aₙ = a + (n − 1)d = 5 + 14 × 4 = 5 + 56 = 61.

4The sum of the first 20 terms of the AP 3, 7, 11, 15, … is:

A.780

B.800

C.820

D.840

Explanation: a = 3, d = 4. Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d] ⇒ S₂₀ = 10[6 + 19 × 4] = 10[6 + 76] = 10 × 82 = 820.

5The first term of a GP is 3 and the common ratio is 2. The 6th term is:

A.48

B.64

C.96

D.192

Explanation: aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ = 3 × 2⁵ = 3 × 32 = 96.

6If f(x) = 2x − 3, then f(f(4)) equals:

A.5

B.7

C.8

D.11

Explanation: f(4) = 2 × 4 − 3 = 5. Then f(f(4)) = f(5) = 2 × 5 − 3 = 7.

7Three numbers in AP have sum 21 and product 231. In increasing order they are:

A.3, 7, 11

B.1, 7, 13

C.5, 7, 9

D.2, 7, 12

Explanation: Let the numbers be a − d, a, a + d. Sum: 3a = 21 ⇒ a = 7. Product: 7(49 − d²) = 231 ⇒ 49 − d² = 33 ⇒ d² = 16 ⇒ d = 4. Numbers: 3, 7, 11.

8The sum of the first n natural numbers is 55. The value of n is:

A.8

B.10

C.11

D.12

Explanation: n(n + 1)/2 = 55 ⇒ n(n + 1) = 110. For n = 10: 10 × 11 = 110.

9Which of the following is a one–one (injective) function from {1, 2, 3} to {a, b, c, d}?

A.f(1) = a, f(2) = a, f(3) = b

B.f(1) = a, f(2) = b, f(3) = c

C.f(1) = a, f(2) = b, f(3) = a

D.f(1) = c, f(2) = c, f(3) = c

Explanation: A one–one function maps distinct domain elements to distinct images. Only f(1)=a, f(2)=b, f(3)=c has three different images.

10In an AP, the 3rd term is 8 and the 7th term is 20. The 10th term is:

A.26

B.29

C.32

D.35

Explanation: a + 2d = 8 and a + 6d = 20. Subtract: 4d = 12 ⇒ d = 3. Then a + 6 = 8 ⇒ a = 2. a₁₀ = 2 + 9 × 3 = 29.
