Candidates who wish to join the Indian Air Force's Flying Branch must normally meet certain educational requirements before taking the CDS (Combined Defence Services) or AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test). For both tests, a candidate must have at least 60% in their Bachelor's degree and have completed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as obligatory courses. Because you have less than 50 marks in 12th Maths and Physics, you may not match the Indian Air Force's basic eligibility requirements. Check the official CDS and AFCAT websites for the most up-to-date eligibility requirements, or call their helplines for clarification.
