CBSE Class 12 Maths Syllabus 2020-21| Check Latest Exam Pattern
CBSE has released Class 12 Maths Syllabus 2020-21 that are very useful in understanding the exam pattern and important topics. Due to ongoing health crisis, the board has also decided to remove some topics to ease the burden. The question paper will be of 80 marks while internal assessment will be given 20 marks.

functions.
2. Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Definition, range, domain, principal value branch.
Unit-II: Algebra
1. Matrices
2. Determinants
Determinant of a square matrix (up to 3 x 3 matrices), minors, co-factors and applications of determinants in finding the area of a triangle. Adjoint and inverse of a square matrix. solving system of linear equations in two or three variables (having unique solution) using inverse of a matrix.
Unit-III: Calculus
