Salient features of the book: Keeping in mind the age group of the students, the matter has been divided into sections and sub-sections so that the students can learn at their own pace. All new concepts have been developed by class-activity method. Results, wherever possible, have been verified by lab activity method. Objectives questions in the form of Fill in the Blanks, True/False statement and Multiple Choice Questions have been given under the heading ?Mental Maths?.

Each Chapter is followed by a Summary which recapitulates the new terms, concepts and results. The last section ?Check Your Progress?, acts as a Unit Test. Model Question Papers have been given at proper places. A new section on Logical Reasoning and Aptitude has been added at the end of the book. A few, relevant case studies have also been added.
