Chemistry - Hydrocarbons

Practise 21 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on Hydrocarbons, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2023. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

Hydrocarbons has been asked in 13 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 21 questions in all. 24% of them were easy, 62% moderate and 14% tough. Most of its questions came from 2019, with 3 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 2 questions across 2 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 10 topics are not weighted equally: Reactions of alkenes (7 questions, 33%), Properties and Preparation of Alkanes (3 questions, 14%), and Reactions of alkanes (3 questions, 14%) have been asked the most. Reactions of alkenes has also led over the last five years, with 2 questions. Reactions of alkenes has produced the most tough questions (1).
