CBSE Class 12 Applied Mathematics · Free MCQs, Solved Examples & Case Studies
Unit 1 carries 11 marks in the CBSE board exam — the highest-weightage unit. Everything you need to master it: 15 interactive MCQs with instant feedback, 8 step-by-step solved examples, and 2 board-pattern case studies. Covering Modulo Arithmetic, Congruence Modulo, Boats & Streams, Pipes & Cisterns, Alligation & Mixture, Races & Games, and Numerical Inequalities. All content is aligned to the CBSE 2026–27 syllabus and board exam pattern. Once you've attempted the questions and self-assessed your answers, tap ✨ My Report to see your personalised performance breakdown.
Six topics examined across MCQs, short answers, and case studies. Memorise the formulas below — they appear in multiple question types every year.
Remainder operations, clock arithmetic, cyclic power problems
\(a \equiv r \pmod{n}\) means \(n \mid (a - r)\) \(a \bmod n =\) remainder when \(a \div n\)Unit digit cycles, large power problems, clock problems
Cycle of \(7^n \bmod 10\): 7, 9, 3, 1 (period 4) Position = exponent \(\bmod\) periodWeighted averages, dilution, repeated replacement problems
Alligation ratio: \(\dfrac{d - m}{m - c}\) (dearer : cheaper) Replacement: \(n\!\left(1 - \dfrac{x}{n}\right)^k\)Upstream/downstream speed, time-distance river problems
\(\text{Down} = B + S \;\; \text{Up} = B - S\) \(B = \dfrac{D+U}{2},\quad S = \dfrac{D-U}{2}\)Filling/emptying rates, combined work, net rate calculations
Net rate \(= \sum \text{inlets} - \sum \text{outlets}\) Time \(= \dfrac{1}{\text{Net rate}}\)Absolute value inequalities, sign analysis, solution intervals
\(|x| < a \;\Leftrightarrow\; -a < x < a\) Flip sign when dividing by \(-ve\)Free video lessons for all 8 units

Mistakes students make in the board exam — and how to avoid them.
The unit-digit cycles for powers of 2, 3, 7 and 8 all have period 4: (2→2,4,8,6), (3→3,9,7,1), (7→7,9,3,1), (8→8,4,2,6). For digits 0, 1, 5, and 6, the unit digit never changes. Knowing these by heart lets you answer any unit-digit MCQ in under 15 seconds. This topic appears as a guaranteed 1-mark MCQ every year — don't drop these easy marks.
