MHT-CET Maths Notes

Compound angles, double, triple and half angles, and sums to products — the Std XI identities, with the standard values at 18°, 36° and π/8 that most HARD questions reduce to.

The adjoint identities, the inverse, Cayley–Hamilton and linear systems — a short list of matrix results that MHT-CET asked once a paper through 2025 and twice a paper in 2026, and reuses across four other chapters.

Slope and angle, the forms of a line, section formula, distance and the foot of the perpendicular — the MHT-CET Straight Line chapter with every past-year question tagged.

Equation forms, concentric and touching circles, tangents and their loci, distances to a circle, and two-circle configurations — the MHT-CET Circle chapter with every past-year question tagged.

The parabola, ellipse and hyperbola: standard forms, eccentricity and foci, and the tangent conditions behind pairs of tangents, common tangents and curves that cut at right angles.

Dropped from the paper after 2024, kept as a formula rehearsal — variance from sums, the shift-and-scale rules and the standard-series results, with every past-year question tagged.

Algebra with i, modulus and argument in the Argand plane, and the locus questions — the one-a-paper MHT-CET chapter where the same stems recur year after year.

The one-a-paper MHT-CET counting chapter — arrangement and selection moves, circular tables and the digit and polygon counts, with every past-year question tagged.

One of the cheapest MHT-CET Maths chapters — sets, function types, domain and range, composition and inverses, with every past-year question tagged to its technique.

The hardest MHT-CET Maths chapter by rate, taught as a recognition toolkit: standard forms first, then every continuity problem as a limit in disguise.

The most self-contained chapter in MHT-CET Maths, taught from statements and truth tables through negation, equivalence and switching circuits.

The Std XII trigonometry chapter in three parts: equations and general solutions, the sine, cosine and half-angle rules of a triangle, and inverse trigonometric functions.

Joint equations, slope conditions, the angle and bisectors of a pair, and the general second-degree test — the MHT-CET Pair of Straight Lines chapter with every past-year question tagged.

Vectors is 334 past-year questions in the MHT-CET Maths bank across 2021–2026, its heaviest scorer and one of its hardest chapters: half of them are HARD.

Line and Plane is the largest 3-D Geometry chapter in MHT-CET Maths and about a third of its questions are HARD.

The cheapest MHT-CET Maths chapter — half-plane tests, reading constraints off a figure, the corner-point method and the infinitely-many-optima case, with every past-year question tagged.

Differentiation is one of the most-tested calculus chapters in MHT-CET Maths — 237 PYQs across 2021–2026, and among the hardest by difficulty mix (about 47% are HARD).

Where the derivative stops being an abstract limit and starts doing work: finding slopes, estimating values, tracking rates of change, and locating the best answer available.

Indefinite Integration is one of the densest MHT-CET Maths chapters — 249 PYQs across 2021–2026, and among its hardest, with about half of them rated HARD.

Evaluation with limits, then the three properties — symmetry, King's substitution, modulus and greatest-integer splitting — that turn a long MHT-CET integral into a two-line answer.

Area under a curve, area between two curves, and the circle, ellipse and hyperbola regions — the one MHT-CET skill where the setup, not the integration, decides the mark.

Differential Equations is one of the largest chapters in MHT-CET Maths — 216 PYQs across 2021–2026 — and it is almost pure method: recognise the type of first-order equation in front of you, then apply the matching recipe.

Probability Distribution is a high-yield MHT-CET Maths chapter (159 PYQs across 2021–2026) that runs from first principles all the way to random variables.

Binomial Distribution is a compact, high-yield MHT-CET Maths chapter (86 PYQs across 2021–2026) built on one model: n independent trials, each a success (probability p) or failure (q = 1 − p).
