CBSE Weightage: Exercise 7.6 problems feed the 3-mark and 5-mark slots inside the Integrals 9-11 mark block.
JEE Main Weightage: Integration by parts contributes roughly 3% of Calculus questions; recurrent in JEE Advanced as well.
Every solved sum in the this chapter opens by labelling u and dv using the ILATE mnemonic (Inverse, Logarithmic, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential) so the integration by parts step is never a guess. Special cases like ∫ ex [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = exf(x) + C and the repeated-integration trick for ∫ eax sin bx dx get full working.
The Collegedunia editorial team has cross-checked every answer against the official NCERT key and the 2026-27 revised textbook. Each problem cites the relevant Section 7.6 formula number so cross-referencing is one-step.
How the Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions on the Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions Help You
This page follows the same question order as the NCERT textbook.
Integration by parts is the technique where students lose marks not in the algebra but in choosing the wrong u. The Collegedunia solutions name the ILATE order, write the choice of u and dv on its own line, then apply the formula.
ILATE labelling at the top of every solve, e.g. "Let u = x (Algebraic), dv = sin x dx (Trigonometric)".
Expert's Solution after each main solve where the ∫ ex [f(x) + f'(x)] dx shortcut would save 2-3 steps.

Q22 appeared in the CBSE 2024 board paper as a 5-mark question on ∫ tan-1x dx .
Class 12th Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.6: Solved-Example Highlights
The PDF includes full working for every sum. Two highlights below show the typical structure.
Q1 ( ∫ x sin x dx ): ILATE picks u = x, dv = sin x dx; then du = dx, v = -cos x. Apply the formula: -x cos x - ∫ (-cos x) dx = -x cos x + sin x + C.
Q22 ( ∫ tan-1x dx ): Treat as tan-1x · 1 . ILATE picks u = tan-1x, dv = dx; then du = 11+x2 dx, v = x. Apply: x tan-1x - ∫ x1+x2 dx = x tan-1x - 12 log(1 + x2) + C.
Common Mistakes Students Make in Exercise 7.6
Students often lose marks here for reasons that have nothing to do with the maths itself.
Common Mistake: Swapping u and dv without checking ILATE. On ∫ x log x dx , picking u = x and dv = log x dx leads to a harder second integral. ILATE says Logarithmic beats Algebraic, so u = log x is the correct choice.
Forgetting that integration by parts may need to be applied twice on the same problem, e.g. ∫ x2 ex dx and ∫ ex sin x dx .
Missing the ∫ ex [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = exf(x) + C pattern on Q19-Q21 and instead solving the full integration by parts twice.

Questions
Q 7.1
Integrate x sin x.
Concept used.Integration by parts. For two differentiable functions u(x)
and v(x), the product rule (uv)' = u'v + uv' on integrating gives
∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du.
The pick of u follows the LIATE rule: among the factors, take as u whichever
appears earlier in (Logarithmic, Inverse-trig, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential). Here
the factors are x (Algebraic) and sin x (Trigonometric), so u = x and dv = sin x dx.
Pick u = x and dv = sin x dx. Then
du = dx, v = ∫ sin x dx = -cos x.
Apply the formula ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du:
∫ xsin x dx = x(-cos x) - ∫ (-cos x) dx.
Simplify:
= -xcos x + ∫ cos x dx = -xcos x + sin x + C.
-xcos x + sin x + C

Pattern-driven view. Whenever the integrand is x · (a trig function), one round
of integration by parts knocks x down to a constant and the trig stays trig.
LIATE: u = x (A), dv = sin x dx (T) ⇒ du = dx, v = -cos x.
I = -xcos x + ∫ cos x dx = -xcos x + sin x + C.
Verify by differentiating: ddx[-xcos x + sin x]
= -cos x + xsin x + cos x = xsin x.
sin x - xcos x + C
Q 7.2
Integrate x sin 3x.
Concept used. Integration by parts with LIATE: u = x (A), dv = sin 3x dx (T).
We will need ∫ sin 3x dx = -13cos 3x, by the chain-rule
substitution t = 3x.
Choose u = x, dv = sin 3x dx. Then
du = dx, v = ∫ sin 3x dx = -cos 3x3.
Simplify:
= -xcos 3x3 + 13∫ cos 3x dx = -xcos 3x3 + 13·sin 3x3 + C.
Final:
= -xcos 3x3 + sin 3x9 + C.

Pattern recall.∫ xsin(ax) dx = -xcos axa + sin axa2 + C.
This is the parts formula applied once with u = x and dv = sin(ax) dx.
Substitute a = 3:
I = -xcos 3x3 + sin 3x9 + C.
Sanity: differentiate. ddx[-xcos 3x3]
= -cos 3x3 + xsin 3x; ddx[sin 3x9] = cos 3x3.
Sum = xsin 3x.
sin 3x9 - xcos 3x3 + C
Q 7.3
Integrate x2 ex.
Concept used. Two applications of integration by parts. With LIATE, u = x2 (A) and
dv = ex dx (E). Each round reduces the polynomial degree by one; after two rounds the
x2 becomes a constant, the integral closes.
Round 1: u = x2, dv = ex dx ⇒ du = 2x dx, v = ex.
I = x2 ex - ∫ 2x ex dx = x2 ex - 2∫ x ex dx.
Round 2: for ∫ x ex dx, take u = x, dv = ex dx ⇒ du = dx, v = ex:
∫ x ex dx = x ex - ∫ ex dx = x ex - ex.
Substitute back:
I = x2 ex - 2(x ex - ex) = x2 ex - 2x ex + 2 ex + C.
Factor:
I = ex (x2 - 2x + 2) + C.
ex(x2 - 2x + 2) + C

Tabular trick for xn ex. Differentiate the polynomial column repeatedly until it
hits 0; integrate the ex column (stays ex); alternate signs +, -, +, -, on the
products.
Concept used. Integration by parts with LIATE: u = log x (L) and dv = x dx (A).
Picking the logarithm as u is essential because ∫ log x dx on its own requires parts,
whereas ddxlog x = 1/x is clean.
Choose u = log x, dv = x dx. Then
du = dxx, v = x22.
Apply parts:
∫ xlog x dx = log x · x22 - ∫ x22·dxx.
Simplify the remaining integral:
∫ x22·1x dx = 12∫ x dx = x24.

Why u = log x. The L in LIATE comes first because log has a simple derivative
but a hard integral. Letting it be u flips it into the easy column.
u = log x, dv = x dx ⇒ du = dx/x, v = x2/2.
I = x22log x - 12∫ x dx = x22log x - x24 + C.
x24(2log x - 1) + C
Q 7.5
Integrate x log 2x.
Concept used. Integration by parts with u = log 2x (L) and dv = x dx (A). The
derivative is ddxlog 2x = 12x· 2 = 1x (chain rule).
Choose u = log 2x, dv = x dx. Then
du = dxx, v = x22.
Apply parts:
I = log(2x)·x22 - ∫ x22·dxx.
Simplify:
I = x22log(2x) - 12∫ x dx = x22log(2x) - x24 + C.

Q 7.9
Integrate x cos-1x.
Concept used. Parts with u = cos-1x (I), dv = x dx (A). Note
ddxcos-1x = -1√1-x2.
u = cos-1x, dv = x dx ⇒ du = -dx√1-x2, v = x22.
Apply parts:
I = x22cos-1x + 12∫ x2√1-x2 dx.
From Q7 we have ∫ x2√1-x2 dx = sin-1x - x√1-x22.
Substitute back:
I = x22cos-1x + sin-1x - x√1-x24.
Use sin-1x = π2 - cos-1x and absorb the constant π/8 into C:
aligned
I &= x22cos-1x - cos-1x4 - x√1-x24 + C
&= (2x2 - 1)cos-1x4 - x√1-x24 + C.

Symmetry with Q7. Since sin-1x + cos-1x = π/2, the cosine-inverse
answer differs from the sine-inverse answer by a sign on the second term plus a constant.
Replace sin-1x by π/2 - cos-1x in the Q7 answer:
(2x2-1)(π/2 - cos-1x)4 + x√1-x24.
The π/2 piece is part of C. So
I = -(2x2-1)cos-1x4 + x√1-x24 + C'.
Wait: we needed +cos-1x as u, the sign flips. Final form
(2x2-1)cos-1x4 - x√1-x24 + C.
(2x2-1)cos-1x - x√1-x24 + C
Q 7.10
Integrate (sin-1x)2.
Concept used. Substitute first, then parts. Let x = sinθ so sin-1x = θ
and dx = cosθ dθ. Then (sin-1x)2 dx = θ2 cosθ dθ, a clean
polynomial-times-cosine.
x = sinθ: I = ∫ θ2 cosθ dθ.
Parts: u = θ2, dv = cosθ dθ ⇒ du = 2θ dθ, v = sinθ.
I = θ2 sinθ - 2∫ θ dθ.
Parts again on ∫ θ dθ: u = θ, dv = sinθ dθ:
∫ θ dθ = -θ + sinθ.
Substitute:
I = θ2 sinθ - 2(-θ + sinθ) + C
= θ2sinθ + 2θ - 2sinθ + C.
Back-substitute θ = sin-1x, sinθ = x, cosθ = √1 - x2:
I = x(sin-1x)2 + 2√1 - x2 sin-1x - 2 x + C.

Direct parts. Stay in x: u = (sin-1x)2, dv = dx.
du = 2sin-1x√1 - x2 dx, v = x.
I = x(sin-1x)2 - 2∫ xsin-1x√1 - x2 dx.
For the remaining integral, parts again with u = sin-1x,
dv = x dx√1-x2. Then du = dx√1-x2,
v = -√1-x2.
∫ xsin-1x√1-x2 dx = -√1-x2 sin-1x + ∫ dx

Integrals Class 12 NCERT Solutions - Frequently Asked Questions
Ques. How many questions are in Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Exercise 7.6?
Ans. Exercise 7.6 of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Integrals carries 24 questions in the 2026-27 NCERT. Q1 to Q22 are integration sums using integration by parts on selected functions, and Q23 to Q24 are MCQ-style questions on the integration by parts formula.
Ques. What concept does Exercise 7.6 of Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 cover?
Ans. Exercise 7.6 covers integration by parts applied to selected functions. The formula ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du is used together with the ILATE rule for choosing u. The exercise also introduces the standard result ∫ ex [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = exf(x) + C.
Ques. What is the ILATE rule in integration by parts?
Ans.ILATE is the mnemonic that ranks function types in the order Inverse trig, Logarithmic, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential. When choosing u in the integration by parts formula ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du , pick whichever factor in the integrand sits earlier in this list. For ∫ x log x dx , Logarithmic beats Algebraic, so u = log x.
Ques. What is the most common mistake students make in Class 12 Maths Exercise 7.6?
Ans.Swapping u and dv without applying the ILATE check, which produces a second integral harder than the original. The other recurring mistake is missing the ∫ ex [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = exf(x) + C shortcut on Q19, Q20 and Q21, leading students to apply integration by parts twice unnecessarily.
