No other chapter in this subject is listed as a prerequisite for this one, so you can pick it up without finishing the ones before it.
Where the marks are
CBSE publishes marks by unit, not by chapter. The Algebra unit carries 20 of the 80 marks in the paper, across 4 chapters. Our estimate for this chapter alone is about 6 marks — useful for deciding what to study first, but it is our split of the unit, not an official CBSE per-chapter figure.
This chapter is not on the board yet.
We author chapters one at a time and only publish once the lesson has been checked end to end, so we would rather say "not yet" than ship a thin one. The syllabus above is accurate and free to use meanwhile.
