Important Suggestions
Please note the following points:

 All the question numbers mentioned below are taken from the examples of Understanding
Mathematics by M.L. Aggarwal, with topic numbers mentioned alongside.
For example:
5.13 – 1(a), 2(b), 3(a): indicates the question nos. 1(a), 2(b) and 3(a) of the illustrative examples
following the topic 5.13.
Ex 5.15 – 5: indicates question no. 5 of exercise 5.15
 The questions given below are to give you an idea of the TYPE of questions that might be asked from
a particular topic in the exam. The below list is only indicative and not exhaustive.
 Do NOT memorize the solution of a particular problem. Understand the type and the concept behind
it.
 Do NOT ignore the past years questions for any chapter.
