CBSE Class 12 Maths Chapter 13 Probability MCQs

Maths Class 12 Probability MCQs: The Central Board of Secondary Education holds the annual year-end board exams for class 12, which are considered the most important exams for students and are important to pass to graduate school. The question paper is made per a fixed format every year and consists of questions of various types like multiple choice, short-answer and long-answer.

Every question requires a different approach to solving depending on its difficulty level and marks. Multiple choice questions are usually a key part of all papers, but unlike other subjects, they aren’t as direct in mathematics. MCQs demand fast calculation skills and problem-solving to be solved. So it becomes essential to practice several MCQs before giving the exam. You can check out the MCQs for CBSE Class 12 Maths Chapter 13 Probability below.
