Suggestions while preparing for MHT-CET
• MHT-CET is a problem solving exam.So solving lot of problems is very
important.
• Its not that dicult like other Engg. exams- IITJEE or AIEEE. So the
competitive edge is to master time management.
• Try to solve a problem for about a minute, if you can't then move to the
next problem. This way you will solve all easy problems rst & fast. You
will come back to those unsolved problem after the rst cycle. This way
you come into exam habit of solving paper in cycles.

Matrices Tricks
1 2
1. If A = then det(A−1 ) is
3 4
(a) 2
(b) -2
(c) 12
(d) − 12
Solution : det(A−1 ) = 1
det(A) = − 21 . Hence (d) is the solution.

2. Matrix A = such that A2 + 5A = αA + βI then
3 4
(a) α = 10, β = 10
(b) α = 2, β = 10
(c) α = 10, β = 2
(d) α = 2, β = 2

Limits & Dierentiation Tricks
0 (n)
• If is of the form 00 then lim fg(x)
f (a)
g(a)
(x)
= fg0 (a)
(a)
= · · · = fg(n) (a)
(a)
and you need
x→a
to continue the process till you get some nite number, zero or innity.
Same can be extended to problems taking form 0 · ∞, ∞ ∞
, 1∞
• To nd dx d
(f (x)g(x) ) - Solve this problem as uv rule by rst assuming
f (x) constant & g(x) as variable next assuming f (x) as variable & g(x)
as constant.
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) none of these
Solution :We see that for x = 0 we get sin x+sin = 00 . Hence we can get

x
x+x2
the limit by dierentiating both Numerator & Denominator. There-
fore,
sin x+sin2 x cos x + 2 sin x cos x
lim x+x2 =
x→0 1 + 2x
cos 0 + 2 sin 0 cos 0
=
1+2·0
=1
Solution is (b).
2. lim
√
x2 −3
x4 +x2 +1 =
x→ 3
(a) 0
√
(b) 3
(c) 3
(d) ∞
cannot be used. Just the numerator becomes zero hence just sub-
stitute the value. Note all techniques we apply in limits is when the
denominator becomes zero. Hence the correct alternative is (a).

Dierential Equations
And now see the power on this highest dierentiated term, this is the
degree of the dierential equation.
• Number of arbitrary independent constants = Order of the dierential
equations
• If a general solution satises a Dierential Equation, then even a particular
solution too satises the same D.E

1. The order and degree of DE 1 + dx
dy d y
= a2 dx 2 are respectively
(a) 2,2
(b) 3,2
(c) 2,4
(d) 6,4

Solution : First step is to remove the radicals and denominators. On
2 3 4
removing the radicals we get 1 + dx . Now we
2
dy d y
= a4 dx 2
search
2 for the term that has the highest dierentiated y term. i.e.
d y
dx2 So the order of the DE is 2. And the power over this term is
4, so the Degree of the DE is 4. The correct alternative is (c)
2. The dierential equation of y = ae2x−1 + b−2x−1 is
(a) d2 y
dx2 = 4
(b) dy
dx = 4y
(c) d2 y
dx2 = 4y
(d)
2
d y
dx2 = −4y
Solution :Since this general solution satises one of the dierential
equations in the alternatives. Even a particular solution will
satisfy that DE. So lets assume a = 1 & b = 0 we get y = e2x−1 .
Now we dierentiate it twice since we had two arbitrary constants
at the beginning. we get
dy
= 2e2x−1
dx
d2 y
= 4e2x−1
dx2
d2 y
= 4y
dx2
This is the required DE of the given general solution. The correct
alternative is (c)
