PREFACE

Malcolm Forbes said “Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open

one” and this is something which is always followed by Diretorate of Pre-University Education

whether through their education system framework or regular enhancement in curriculum.

The aim of the Curriculum is not just to let learners obtain basic knowledge but to make

them life-long learners.

The purpose of this book is to nurture individuality and thus enhance one's innate

potentials which help in increasing the self-study mode for students. This book strengthens

knowledge and attitude related to subject. This book is designed in such a way that students can

set their own goals and can improve their problem solving and thinking skills.

This book is strictly as per the latest blueprint & syllabus for II PUC examination. It

contains variety of questions from textbooks. It contains all types of questions necessary for

exam oriented preparation. A synopsis is given for every chapter which contains important

points from that chapter. Each chapter has high quality figures wherever required for better, fast

and clear understanding.

OSWAAL II PUC Question Bank is different and better in terms of High Quality

Questions which are developed by 'OSWAAL Expert Panel' which ensures success in

examination. The Question Bank is arranged ‘Topic-Wise’ where each topic from every chapter

is explained in detail. ‘SCHEME OF VALUATION’ answer are highlighted to develop student

understanding of Marking scheme. It also adheres to the blueprint which enables exam oriented

preparation.

Through OSWAAL Books students are taught how to think, not what to think. We at

OSWAAL Books try to use quality content, standard language, creativity and high quality

figures, which makes readers to enjoy it because we believe if our readers don't enjoy reading

our book then there is no use in reading it at all. This is one of the reasons that the scope of this

book extends from students to teachers. Teachers can use this book as a perfect teaching guide

and students can use this book for good learning and practice.

At last we would like to thank our authors, editors, reviewers and specially students

whom we request to send suggestions regularly which will help in continuous improvement of

this book and will make this book “One of the Best”. Wish you all Happy Learning.
