PREFACE

“Don’t follow your dreams; chase them!”- a quote by Richard Dumbrill is perhaps the most pertinent for
one who is aiming to crack entrance examinations held after std. XII. We are aware of an aggressive
competition a student appearing for such career defining examinations experiences and hence wanted to
create books that develop the necessary knowledge, tools and skills required to excel in these examinations.
For the syllabus of MHT-CET 2021, 80% of the weightage is given to the syllabus for XIIth standard while
only 20% is given to the syllabus for XIth standard (with inclusion of only selected topics). Chapters
prescribed as per the latest circular of MHT CET 2020-21, for Std. XI have been exclusively covered in
this book.

nt
Although the syllabus for Std. XI and XII and MHT-CET is aligned, the outlook to study the subject should
be altered based on the nature of the examination. To score in MHT-CET, a student has to be not just good
with the concepts but also quick to complete the test successfully. Such ingenuity can be developed through
sincere learning and dedicated practice.

te
Having thorough knowledge of mathematical concepts, formulae and their applications is a prerequisite for
beginning with MCQs on a given chapter in Mathematics. Students must know the required rules, formulae,
functions and general equations involved in the chapter. Mathematics requires understanding and application of
basic concepts, so students should also be familiar with concepts studied in the earlier standards. They should

on
befriend ideas like Mathematical logic, inverse functions, differential equations, integration and its applications
and random variables to tackle the problems.

As a first step to MCQ solving, students should start with elementary questions. Once a momentum is
gained, complex MCQs with higher level of difficulty should be practised. Questions from previous years as
well as from other similar competitive exams should be solved to obtain an insight about plausible
C
questions.
Competitive exams challenge the understanding of students about the subject by combining concepts from
different chapters in a single question. To figure these questions out, cognitive understanding of subject is
required. Therefore, students should put in extra effort to practise such questions.
Promptness being virtue in these exams, students should wear time saving short tricks and alternate methods
e
upon their sleeves and should be able to apply them with accuracy and precision as required.
Such a holistic preparation is the key to succeed in the examination!
To quote Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, “If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.”
pl

Our Triumph Mathematics book has been designed to achieve the above objectives. Commencing from
basic MCQs the book proceeds to develop competence to solve complex MCQs. It offers ample practice of
recent questions from various competitive examination. While offering standard solutions in the form of
m

concise hints, it also provides Shortcuts and Alternate Methods. Each chapter ends with an Evaluation test to
allow self-assessment.
Features of the book presented on the next page will explicate more about the same!
We hope the book benefits the learner as we have envisioned.

The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think we’ve
nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.
