 PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION
THE NEW CHALLENGER FOR THE NEW JEE
It gives me immense pleasure in introducing the revised and updated edition of the Physics Challenger.
This challenger book has evolved over a period of time and adopted itself to the changing IIT-JEE
pattern. The book is enriched with the introduction of a lot of new and innovative questions in each
variety of questions in each of the chapters.
The book has been reoriented and aligned as per the latest CBSE board pattern - Class XI and XII. I have
tried to rename the chapters as per the latest NCERT books, such that the class XI & XII students can
easily attempt their respective chapters. The book provides response bubbles/grids to mark answers,
of the questions on respective pages of each chapter. This will make the book more useful for the
students as they can mark their responses and need not check the answers one by one.
The book contains 17 chapters in all. Each chapter covers exhaustive collection of challenging problems
of all the varieties being asked in the latest JEE Examinations.
• MCQ one option correct
• MCQ more than one correct option(s)
• Passage based question
• Reasoning / Assertion type questions
• Column Matching Type Questions
• Numeric / Integer Answer Based Subjective Problems
This new book contains the collection of the best possible problems for IIT-JEE. I have really worked
very hard to create new problems on Comprehension based questions, Matching Type Questions,
Assertion Reasoning and Integer answer type Questions.
I can assure all the aspirants that I have made an attempt to provide the best possible material for JEE.
I hope that the users will find this book to stand upto their expectations. In the end I would like to
thank family, friends, publishers and colleagues, who have helped me in various forms in completing
this project. I would specially like to thank the Editorial team of Disha Publication comprising of
Mr. Sunil Kumar, Mr. Sanjay Kumar for helping in bringing the book to the present shape. I would also
like to thank Mr. Sandeep and Mr. Nitin for helping me in the proof reading work. And last but not the
least I would like to specially thanks Prof. Ragvindra of Narayana (Hyderabad) without whose help this
work would not have been possible. However, all these hardships will look small if readers find this
effort useful to them. I shall be highly thankful to all those readers who let me know, their views about
the book, any kind of error(s) crept inadvertently and any new problems if he/she wants to see it/
them included in forthcoming editions.
