We have infused several Smart Keys such as Cautions, Thinking Hatke, Shortcuts and Mindbenders.
These Important Study Techniques are created to help students with key objectives such as time
management, easy memorization, revision and non-conventional yet simple methods for MCQ solving. To
ensure adequate revision, each chapter begins with a Quick Review, followed by all the key Formulae in
the chapter.

A statistical analysis of the number of questions asked per chapter in each shift of MHT-CET 2023
examination is offered in tabular form. This analysis would help students understand the weighting
allotted to each chapter. A graphical representation of analysis of all the papers (12 papers of PCM group
& 12 papers of PCB group) is also included at the start of the book to elaborate on the breakdown of the
Co
difficulty level of questions asked in the examination. Studying these representations should undoubtedly
aid students in planning their study strategy for the examination. There is a possibility that the weightage to
a chapter and the level of difficulty of the question paper in the future examination may vary.
This book would provide students with confidence regarding their exam preparedness. We are confident
that this book will comprehensively cater to the needs of students and effectively assist them to achieve
their goal.

1. If the two bodies are moving with unequal uniform velocities, then their position-time graphs must intersect
each other.
2. The kinematic equations of motion cannot be applied to circular motion or simple harmonic motion.
3. A body may have zero velocity but can still accelerate.
e.g.: When an object is thrown straight up, at the highest point, its velocity is zero and acceleration is
9.8 m/s2 downward.
4. A projectile fired at an angle with horizontal returns to ground at the same angle and with the same velocity
with which it is projected.
