Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations [CISCE] — ISC Class XII Maths Board Paper

Address:

FLAT1,PALMS BY AGNI APARTMENT,1ST FLOOR, NEW NO83,INDRA NAGAR 1ST ST.,INDRA NAGAR,

Respected Sir / Madam (Authorities concerned in ISC Board).

In the ISC Class XII board maths exam held on 20.02.2023 in Question no 12 (ii) as reproduced below appears to be confusing.

"A running track of 440m is to be laid out enclosing a football field. The football field is in the shape of a rectangle with semi-circle at each end. If the area of the rectangular portion is to be maximum, then find the length of its sides. Also calculate the area of the football field".

The football field is a playing field within a rectangular boundary hence the wording "Semi-circle at each end in a football field" was confusing and misleading. Whenever a football field ends are referred or mentioned it should always accompany the words goal post ends or it should have been mentioned as both ends in the question paper instead of mentioning as each end since the football field has 4 ends mathematically speaking.

Understand many students were affected due to the misleading word "at each end which should have been mentioned as both ends".

Request the concerned authorities to kindly review this and take a favorable decision in favor of all the affected students.

Trusting and thanking you.
