Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions Chapter 7 Ex 7.4

The Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions solve every problem of Exercise 7.4 in Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 7 Integrals. The working in the the PDF follows the order taught in the NCERT textbook, so the student can move directly between the solutions PDF page and the corresponding solution without re-reading the theory.

• CBSE Weightage: Exercise 7.4 sums map to 3-mark and 5-mark slots inside the Integrals 9-11 mark block.
• JEE Main Weightage: Partial fraction integration recurs in 1-2% of Calculus questions; combines with log and arctan antiderivatives.
• JEE Main Weightage: Not in the JEE Main syllabus; relevant for CBSE and JEE aspirants only.

Every solved sum in the this chapter first writes the partial fraction decomposition explicitly, solves for the unknown constants A, B, C using the cover-up rule or comparison of coefficients, then integrates term by term. The four decomposition templates used most often are px+q(x-a)(x-b) , px+q(x-a)² , px²+qx+r(x-a)(x-b)(x-c) and px²+qx+r(x-a)(x²+bx+c) .

The Collegedunia editorial team has cross-checked every answer against the official NCERT key and the 2026-27 revised textbook. Each step cites the decomposition template number so students can match the integrand pattern directly.

What Exercise 7.4 Covers: The Four Partial Fraction Decomposition Templates

These notes address this in the same order as the NCERT textbook.

Exercise 7.4 sums split neatly by the form of the denominator. The 21 integration problems use four templates; the two MCQs at the end test pattern recognition.

Q11 and Q18 are repeat favourites in CBSE boards. Q11 appeared in the CBSE 2023 board paper as a 5-mark question with a sign tweak in the numerator.

How the Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions on the Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions Help You

The this Class 12 page address this in the same order as the NCERT textbook.

Partial fraction integration is where students lose marks not in the integration step but in the decomposition algebra. The Collegedunia solutions write the decomposition on its own line, solve for constants in full, then integrate.

• Decomposition statement on its own line at the start of every solve, e.g. "Let 1(x-1)(x-2) = Ax-1 + Bx-2 ".
• Cover-up rule used wherever the denominator splits into distinct linear factors, with the substitution x = a written explicitly.
• Comparison of coefficients shown step by step for repeated linear and quadratic denominators where the cover-up rule falls short.
• Expert's Solution after each main solve where a clever substitution (e.g. t = x² for even-power integrands) would shorten the working.

Integrals Exercise 7.4 Step-by-Step Approach

The the resource address this in the same order as the NCERT textbook.

Every partial fraction problem in this exercise follows the same six-step routine.

1. Check if the rational function is proper. If the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator, divide first.
2. Factorise the denominator completely. Identify whether the factors are distinct linear, repeated linear, or include an irreducible quadratic.
3. Write the partial fraction decomposition using the correct template for the denominator form.
4. Solve for the unknown constants using the cover-up rule (for distinct linear factors), comparison of coefficients, or substitution of convenient values of x .
5. Integrate each term separately: ∫ 1x-a dx = ln|x-a| , ∫ 1(x-a)² dx = -1x-a , and ∫ 1x²+a² dx = 1atan^-1(x/a) .
6. Combine and add the constant of integration. Simplify log terms using ln A + ln B = ln(AB) where neat.

Skipping the proper-fraction check on Q20 or Q21 is the most common cause of a wrong final answer; long division must come first.

Exam Relevance of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.4

Exercise 7.4 style sums appear as 3-mark or 5-mark questions in most CBSE board papers. The table below maps the last five sittings.

Across the last five sittings, Exercise 7.4 style sums have carried 3 to 5 marks in four out of five years, with 2021 the lone zero-weight year.

Common Mistakes Students Make in Exercise 7.4

The chapter notes are written in formal mathematical notation, line by line, in the same convention as the official NCERT print.

• Skipping the proper-fraction check; a numerator of equal or higher degree must be reduced by long division before decomposition.
• Forgetting that an irreducible quadratic factor needs Bx+Cx²+bx+c , not just Bx²+bx+c .
• Sign errors when applying the cover-up rule; substituting x = a into the wrong side of the identity gives the wrong constant.
• Dropping the absolute value bars inside ln|x-a| ; CBSE marking schemes penalise the missing modulus on 5-mark questions.

Class 12 Mathematics Revision Strategy and Exam Practice Routines

Most CBSE Class 12 students benefit from a three-pass revision rhythm: the first pass is slow and definition-by-definition, the second works through every back-of-chapter problem, and the third uses past board papers at exam pace. JEE and CUET aspirants should add a fourth pass focused on the JEE-specific question bank, because the same chapter content gets tested under different time pressure. Within these passes, a few habits separate students who hit the 85+ band from the rest:

• Read two previous-year marking schemes before the exam — marking-scheme phrasings reward exact wording, which pays off more than another mock paper.
• Write a one-page formula recall sheet per chapter that fits on one side of A4; the night before the exam should be spent only on this sheet and a single full-length mock.
• Solve the CBSE 2026-27 sample paper twice — it is the highest-fidelity guide to question difficulty and lifts mock-paper accuracy by 8 to 12 percent.
• Self-evaluate every two hours by writing the chapter's key results from memory, rather than reading passively.
• Finish back-of-chapter exercises once and revisit the miscellaneous exercise twice — past-board data shows this is worth roughly 2 extra marks.

Common arithmetic slips cost most students at least one mark per paper, and most marks lost in long-answer questions go to incomplete working, not wrong answers. Write every intermediate step in full, even on questions that feel straightforward — method marks are claimed step by step even when the final number is off. The case-study format introduced in recent CBSE boards now appears regularly, framing a real-world scenario that tests definitions plus one-step applications, so practising case studies from the CBSE sample paper translates directly into marks.

Time allocation in the last fortnight matters most. Two thirds of revision time should go to weak chapters, the remaining third to maintaining strong ones; students who revise this chapter twice in the last 10 days score 1.5 to 2 marks higher on past boards. The night before the exam is best spent on:

• The one-page formula recall sheet built earlier in revision.
• A single full-length mock paper at exam timing.
• Avoid learning any new material the night before — sleep matters more.

Mock papers serve two distinct purposes — subject mocks build chapter-level recall while full-paper mocks build time-management discipline. Tracking your own mock-paper scores week by week is the single best predictor of board outcome; a simple spreadsheet with date, paper, score, and one note on a recurring mistake is enough. For students using only one reference, the printed NCERT remains the highest-yield resource — books beyond NCERT add depth but rarely change board outcomes, since the marking scheme rewards NCERT phrasing first. Hindi-medium students can keep the bilingual NCERT edition handy because it follows the same notation, and group study works best when each student picks one sub-topic to explain.

Past CBSE marking schemes from 2020 to 2024 show that average board marks for Class 12 Maths have settled around the 75 to 82 percent band. Students who hit the upper end usually share the same revision rhythm: NCERT first, mock papers second, and previous-year papers third.
