comparison and some imp topics
Great, Paru! Let's do a comparative analysis of both Higher Mathematics sections from the
two sample papers you provided, match them against the DAIICT official syllabus topics,
and then extract:
1. Topic frequency (which topics appeared more)
2. Most scoring / high-weight topics
3. Topics with low or no presence
4. Study tips for scoring maximum in this section

3 Differentiation + Maxima/Minima 4
4 Logarithms / Sets / Progressions 3 each
5 Probability / Quadratic Equations 3 each
❗️Low or Missing Topics
Topic Area Appeared in Tip
Mathematical Induction 1 question Low weight; revise basics only
Simultaneous Linear Eqns 1 question Just know how to solve 2-variable equations
Harmonic Progression (HP) 1 question Understand relation to AP and GP
Complex Binomial Cases Basic only High powers or modulo not tested
🧠 Final Recommendations: What to Focus On
✅ Focus Heavily On
• Functions: Know domain, range, 1-1, onto, composite functions, graphs
• Permutations & Combinations: Include restrictions like vowels together, repetition
allowed, etc.
• Calculus (Limits & Differentiation): Tangents, slope at a point, maxima/minima
basics
• Progressions: Sum of AP/GP, finding nth term, relation between AP–GP–HP
• Logarithms: Identities, simplifications, change of base
Give Medium Attention To
• Sets and Relations: Basic operations, Venn diagrams, intersection/union
• Probability: Conditional, total probability, basic puzzles
• Quadratic Equations: Nature of roots, sum-product, solving
• Binomial Theorem: Expansions, coefficient of terms (simple cases)
Low Priority (Revise Once)
• Mathematical Induction (just understand the pattern)
• Simultaneous equations (quick revision)
• Long/complex word problems (rare)
🧩 Tips to Score High in Higher Math:
1. Master Formulas: Especially in PnC, logs, progressions, and calculus. Use a revision
sheet.
2. Conceptual Understanding > Tricks: Most DAIICT questions test logic, not speed-
solving.
3. Focus on Accuracy: Even 10–12 correct answers in this section could be a big edge.
4. Practice Worded Questions: Like Q3 in Paper 2 – these can confuse if not practiced.
5. Time Management: Don't get stuck on algebra-heavy or case-based probability
questions.
