Physics - Mathematics in Physics

Practise 98 MHTCET previous year questions on Mathematics in Physics, compiled from papers spanning 2018 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty MHTCET tests.

Mathematics in Physics has been asked in 5 of the 17 years of MHTCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 98 questions in all. 62% of them were easy, 38% moderate and 0% tough. Most of its questions came from 2020, with 31 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 58 questions across 59 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 4 topics are not weighted equally: Errors of Measurement (35 questions, 36%), Addition and Subtraction of Vectors (30 questions, 31%), and Multiplication of Vectors (27 questions, 28%) have been asked the most. Errors of Measurement has also led over the last five years, with 31 questions.
