Mathematics - Parabola

Practise 11 COMEDK previous year questions on Parabola, compiled from papers spanning 2012 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty COMEDK tests.

Parabola has been asked in 10 of the 15 years of COMEDK papers analysed (2012–2026), with 11 questions in all. 64% of them were easy, 27% moderate and 9% tough. Most of its questions came from 2019, with 2 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 1 question across 1 paper, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 5 topics are not weighted equally: standard equation of parabola (5 questions, 45%), Tangent to Parabola (3 questions, 27%), and General Equation of 2nd degree curve (1 question, 9%) have been asked the most. standard equation of parabola has also led over the last five years, with 1 question. Locus has produced the most tough questions (1).
