The same structure as the Statistics section. Two sections, same design: 10 topics, 10 marks, one question each, sequentially.

What this means

Maths is as predictable as Statistics. You know exactly how many questions come from each topic — one — and probably in what order. No topic can be skipped; no topic needs depth beyond one question.

The uploaded 2022 paper is an Accounts Assistant (PANCHAYAT), Series A booklet — a different post with a different structure. Its actual layout is:

There is no Q81–90 maths block in it — Q81–110 is Accountancy. Only two genuine maths questions exist in the whole paper, both buried in the Q31–40 block: Q32 (Set Theory) and Q37 (Coordinate Geometry).

That file's own header says it maps a "2020 Question Booklet (Set C, Series 68)". It claims Statistics = Q71–80 and Mathematics = Q81–90. Proof it is a different paper: it lists Q80 as "Consumer Price Index features", but Q80 in the actual 2022 booklet is "What does IMAP stand for?" (a computers question). This is the second time this distribution file has been found wrong — see PROJECT-LOG Section 3.5, which recorded the same problem for Accountancy. ✅ Useful side-effect: if that file really does describe a 2020 paper, then a 2020 paper also ran Maths as Q81–90, one question per topic — which independently supports the headline finding.

Limits, derivatives, matrices, determinants, 3-D geometry and vectors are +2 level. There is no percentage / profit-loss / time-and-work / ratio content at all. Prepare from NCERT Class 11 and 12, not from a general aptitude book.

Probability appears in BOTH syllabi — Statistics topic (vi) and Maths topic (viii) — and both papers asked it in both sections:

• 2024: Q76 (statistics) and Q88 (maths)
• 2022: Q34 (statistics)

One body of theory, two marks. It is the highest marks-per-hour topic in either section. Study it once, get paid twice. See Notes-Statistics.md Topic (vi).

Area of the triangle with A(1,2,3), B(3,2,1), C(2,4,5): AB = (2, 0, −2) · AC = (1, 2, 2) · AB × AC = (4, −6, 4) |AB × AC| = √68 → Area = ½√68 = √17 ≈ 4.123

√17 is not among them. The answer key in 2024-paper.md says "D) √29" but hedges it as "as per matching patterns in the official exam set approximations" — i.e. it was guessed, not solved. Treat this question as void. If a question like it appears in 2026, compute ½|AB × AC| and pick the nearest option.

Option a is F = {(x,y): x² + y = 2}, i.e. y = 2 − x², whose range is (−∞, 2]. It is matched to statement 4: "Range of F = [−2, ∞)", which is the range of y = x² − 2 — almost certainly the intended relation. Answer D is still right by elimination, because b-5, c-1 and d-2 are all certain:

• b) x² + y² = 25 → a circle → not a function (5) ✓
• c) y = 2x + 1 → F∘F = 4x + 3 (1) ✓
• d) y = x² → increasing on (0,∞) but not on ℝ (2) ✓

Every individual fact tested is easy — simple interest, a 2×2 linear system, det(I) = 1, the derivative of 1/x. But 6 of the 10 questions make you evaluate FOUR separate claims before you can answer. One question = four mini-questions. That is what eats the clock, and it is exactly the same design as the Statistics section. Practise judging statements one at a time. In Q83 and Q84, spotting a single false claim eliminates two options.
