Senior Inter Chemistry Study Plan - Solid State, Electro Chemistry and Metallurgy Chapters

Consistency with right strategic plan is the ultimate key to success.
Purposeful planning brings the future into present. A goal without a
plan is just like a dream. Inter marks are as important as entrance
exam marks (or ranks). Have a good grip on 2nd year syllabus, as all
entrance exams will be held at the end of 2nd year.

Senior Inter Maths Paper 2B Study Plan and Important Chapters

The 'Coordinate Geometry' unit of Paper-B consists of the chapters
'The Circle', 'System of Circles', 'Parabola', 'Ellipse', and
'Hyperbola' all theoretical in nature. 'Locus' and 'Transformation of
Axes' of first year course
are involved in these chapters.

While 'locus' is used to define these geometrical figures,
'translation of axes' is used to derive certain results like obtaining
parametric equations of a circle. 'Learn to be silent and let your
quiet mind listen and absorb' is the famous quotation best suitable in
classrooms in learning about the circle
and its various features.

It also can be noted that the foot of the perpendicular relation
studied in first year Straight Line chapter is used to find the
midpoint of the chord intercepted by a given circle and a line. Also,
section formulae are applied in studying about the relative positions
of two circles. Thus, students are
reminded to remember the fundamentals wherever and whenever studied.

The chapter 'System of Circles' introduces the concepts of (i) angle
between two intersecting circles and (ii) radical axis of two
circles.

'Law of Cosines' formula of first year properties of Triangles is used
in deriving the expression for the angle between two intersecting
circles. 'Locus' concept is used to define the radical axis of two
circles. Also,
concept of S + .L = 0, studied in straight line chapter of first year
course, is applied in solving certain problems related to radical
axis. Thus, the first year fundamentals come into use in some of the
second year chapters.

The knowledge of definitions and various derivations studied in the
chapter 'Circle' is helpful to understand about the three conics such
as Parabola, Ellipse and Hyperbola. . In the second unit calculus of
Paper - B,
'Integration', 'Definite Integrals' and 'Differential Equations' are
the chapters
involved. The concept of differentiation is recollected in learning
the concept of integration, which is regarded as the inverse process
of differentiation.

Standard forms and properties of integrals are discussed in the
chapter integration. Method of integration by parts, partial fractions
method and reduction formulae are very important features of
integration.

"Definite Integrals" chapter deals with applications of integration in
terms of deriving reduction formulae and computation of areas of
closed regions. Both are important topics as far as examinations are
concerned. Solved problems and all exercise problems must be attempted
and practised time to time. Then only students can have a grip over
the subject matter, which helps them to perform well in higher levels
of examinations.

In the chapter 'differential equations', formation and solution of
equations are learnt. Various methods exist in solving differential
equations and students must be thorough with each and every method.
Differential equations have applications in many branches of Physics,
Physical Chemistry etc. As usual, students are expected to look into
the solved examples and exercise problems for gaining perfection.

To conclude in Paper-B, Circle, Parabola, Integration, Definite Integrals and
Differential Equations are very very important chapters, carrying a
reasonable weightage of marks in the Intermediate examination. Regular
practice of the methods, remembering formulae and solving all types of
problems repeatedly in every chapter is the key to success in the
examinations.

Senior Inter Study Plan for Maths Paper 2A for AP and Telangana

'Permutations and Combinations' chapter mainly depends on the
principle of counting. Many problems relating to puzzles that we come
across in our daily life are solved by using the knowledge of
Permutations and Combinations. The concept of Permutations and
Combinations was treated as a self contained topic in Mathematics
under the name of ''Vikalpa" by renowned mathematician 'Mahavira' in
9th century A.D. The credit of stating several important theorems and
results on the subject matter of Permutations and Combinations goes to
the renowned
scholar ''Bhaskaracharya".

This chapter is significant in algebra as well as Probability in view
of a number of applications in day to day life. For instance, choosing
five questions out of seven questions in a question paper, choosing
required items from the menu card in a hotel, selecting a cricket team
of eleven players from out of sixteen members etc.. are based on the
principle of Permutations and Combinations only. The theory of
Probability is an extension of this chapter. Delegates occupying the
seats in a round table meeting is concerned to circular permutations.

Students must be aware of these types of practical problems and their
solutions. Students are expected to solve all the problems of all the
exercises in this chapter for gaining good marks. In competitive
entrance examinations, this chapter along with Probability chapter has
its own importance.

"Binomial theorem" is proved by using the principle of mathematical
induction, which was studied in First Year Algebra unit. Binomial
theorems for positive integral index and rational index have a number
of applications.
Binomial coefficients have many properties with which students are
expected to be perfect. Students are also advised to repeatedly
practise all the solved problems and all exercise problems. This is an
important
chapter in marks point of view. The application of binomial theorem
will be taken up in theoretical distributions in the Probability
chapter.

"Partial Fractions" and "Measures of Dispersion" are such easy
chapters that students need not put any extra effort than the required
one. It is more than sufficient if they are thorough with the methods
involved in them.

Probability

As said earlier, Probability is based on the concept of Permutations
and Combinations. It deals with the phenomenon of chance or
randomness. This chapter is extensively studied in the form of
postulates, results, theorems
and illustrations. The theory of Probability is simply the science of logic,
quantitatively treated. This is a good scoring chapter, once studied
in a proper way. In the chapters Permutations and Combinations and
Probability students are exposed to challenging problems sometimes in
competitive
examinations.

Many problems of Science as well as daily life are concerned with a
numerical value associated with the outcome of an experiment. For
example, we would like to know the probability of 10 coins showing up
8 tails when at a time tossed. To study problems of this type, the
concept of random variable is introduced. Students are expected to
know the formulae for finding mean and variance of a random variable.
Similarly knowledge of
binomial theorem and binomial coefficients is necessary to tackle the
problems of probability distributions. Marks wise, this is an easy
chapter for students.

To conclude the analysis about Paper-A, it is reminded that chapters
like Complex numbers, De Moivre's theorem, Theory of equations,
Permutations and Combinations, Binomial Theorem and Probability
require attention and hard work for performing well in the
examinations. Good Luck!
