Physics - Mathematics in Physics
Practise 13 AIIMS previous year questions on Mathematics in Physics, compiled from papers spanning 2001 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty AIIMS tests.
Mathematics in Physics has been asked in 7 of the 19 years of AIIMS papers analysed (2001–2019), with 13 questions in all. 77% of them were easy, 23% moderate and 0% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 5 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 9 questions across 5 papers, about 1.8 per paper.
The chapter's 4 topics are not weighted equally: Errors of Measurement (5 questions, 38%), Multiplication of Vectors (4 questions, 31%), and Addition and Subtraction of Vectors (2 questions, 15%) have been asked the most.
