#### CBSE Class 10 Maths – MCQ and Online Tests – Unit 9 – Some Applications of Trigonometry

Every year CBSE conducts board exams for 10th standard. These exams are very competitive to all the students. So our website provides online tests for all the 10th subjects. These tests are also very effective and useful for those who preparing for competitive exams like NEET, JEE, CA etc. It can boost their preparation level and confidence level by attempting these chapter wise online tests.

These online tests are based on latest CBSE Class 10 syllabus. While attempting these our students can identify the weak lessons and continuously practice those lessons for attaining high marks. It also helps to revise the NCERT textbooks thoroughly.
