  • CBSE Weightage: Exercise 7.1 problems map to 1-mark MCQ and 2-mark short-answer slots inside the Integrals 9-11 mark block.
  • JEE Main Weightage: Standard-form integration contributes roughly 2-3% of the Calculus questions.
  • CUET Weightage: Tested as direct recall MCQs; no rewriting steps expected.
Integrals Exercise 7 1 NCERT Solutions - Class 12 Maths

Every solved sum in the PDF first rewrites the integrand into a form that matches a standard formula from the NCERT table, then applies it with the constant of integration + C kept explicit. When the integrand splits into three or four terms (Q5, Q11, Q22), each term is integrated on its own line so the step-by-step marking scheme is satisfied.

The Collegedunia editorial team has cross-checked every answer against the official NCERT key and the 2026-27 revised textbook. The final boxed expression for each problem matches the NCERT reference verbatim.

What Exercise 7.1 Covers: The Standard Antiderivative Map

Exercise 7.1 is the warm-up exercise of this chapter. It tests pure recall of the antiderivative table from Section 7.2, with mild rewriting (negative exponents, sec-tan products, fraction splitting) as the only complication.

Q No.IntegrandTechnique usedStandard formula invoked
1 sin 2x Direct trig integral ∫ sin ax dx = -cos axa
2 cos 3x Direct trig integral ∫ cos ax dx = sin axa
3 e2x Exponential integral ∫ eax dx = eaxa

21-22MCQ typesAntiderivative identificationStandard table

Two problems (Q20, Q22) are repeat favourites in CBSE pre-board sets. Q20 has tripped students in three of the last five board papers because of the sec2 x versus sec x tan x sign-and-form pairing.

How the Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions Help You

Exercise 7.1 is a recall test, not a problem-solving test. The Collegedunia solutions therefore name the formula explicitly before applying it, so the underlying table is reinforced with every problem rather than skipped over.

  • Formula-name annotation on every line, e.g. "Apply ∫ xn dx = xn+1n+1 with n = 2".
  • + C constant kept explicit in every boxed answer; CBSE deducts 1 mark for the omission.
  • Trigonometric rewriting steps shown for Q10 to Q15 before differentiating, since "no rewriting" is the most common 1-mark slip.
  • MCQ-style reasoning for Q21 and Q22 with the wrong options eliminated one by one.

Integrals Exercise 7.1 Step-by-Step Approach

Every problem in this exercise follows the same four-step routine. Internalise this and you can clear all 22 sums in under 35 minutes.

  1. Read the integrand and identify which standard formula in the NCERT Section 7.2 table it matches.
  2. Rewrite if needed using a linear split, a power-rule conversion ( 1/xn → x-n ) or a trigonometric identity.
  3. Apply the formula term by term and write the result on its own line.
  4. Add the constant of integration + C once at the end; never per term.

For MCQ-format Q21 and Q22, differentiate each option and check which one matches the original integrand; the option that does is the answer.

Exam Relevance of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.1

Exercise 7.1 sums show up as 1-mark MCQs and 2-mark short-answer questions in nearly every CBSE board sitting. The table below maps the last five board sittings.

YearMarks from Ex 7.1 style sumsQuestion type
202531-mark MCQ + 2-mark VSA
202422-mark VSA
202331-mark MCQ + 2-mark VSA
202222-mark VSA
202131-mark MCQ + 2-mark VSA

Across the last five sittings, Ex 7.1 style sums have carried 2-3 marks every year. These are the easiest marks in the Integrals block, treat them as guaranteed.

Common Mistakes Students Make in Exercise 7.1

Common Mistake: Forgetting the + C at the end of an indefinite integral. CBSE marking schemes for 2021 to 2025 all deduct 1 mark for this omission, regardless of how clean the rest of the working is.
  • Writing ∫ sec2 x dx = sec x + C instead of tan x + C . The latter is correct.
  • Forgetting the 1/a factor when integrating sin ax or cos ax ; this is the second-most-common slip on Q1 and Q2.
  • Missing a sign on ∫ -sin x dx = cos x + C versus ∫ sin x dx = -cos x + C .
  • Combining the + C constants per term instead of writing one at the end.

Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions - Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. How many questions are in Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.1?

Ans. Exercise 7.1 of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Integrals carries 22 questions in the 2026-27 NCERT, of which 20 are integration sums and 2 are MCQ-style questions (Q21 and Q22) on antiderivative identification.

Ques. What concept does Exercise 7.1 of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Integrals cover?

Ans. Exercise 7.1 covers integration as the inverse process of differentiation. Every problem is solved by direct application of the standard antiderivative table from NCERT Section 7.2, with mild rewriting like trigonometric identity or fraction splitting where needed.

Ques. What is the most common mistake students make in Class 12 Maths Exercise 7.1?

Ans. Forgetting the constant of integration + C at the end of an indefinite integral is the most common mistake. CBSE marking schemes for 2021 to 2025 all deduct 1 mark for this omission. The second-most-common slip is writing ∫ sec2 x dx = sec x + C instead of the correct tan x + C .
