Level of questions in MH CET Quant (LOD)

Quantitative aptitude in MAHCET can be expected from easy to moderate difficulty level. All questions will be doable, though many questions may involve some tricks but an aspirant with basic conceptual clarity will be able to solve these questions.

What to prepare & how to prepare for MAH CET 2014

There are around 47 to 50 questions on quantitative ability and data sufficiency. Around 20 questions can be expected in data interpretation part and 45 and 25 questions may come in logical reasoning and visual reasoning respectively.

So we need to prepare smartly. Since the paper contains 200 questions in 150 minutes with no negative marking, one must mark answer for all the questions without wasting any second. If you are not able to solve a question, you can guess and pick the most appropriate option rather than leaving the question un-attempted.

Important topics in MH CET 2014 Quant

Geometry - Lines, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, Mensuration (area and volume of cylinder, cone, sphere).

Algebra- simple equations, inequalities, simple functions and log

Arithmetic- Average, Percentages, Ratio, Interest, Time- Speed & Distance and Work, problems on basic Number System and Probability.

Here are some sample questions on various topics which figure in the exam.

Arithmetic- It may have major part in QA and DI section.

1. Percentage: It is one of the most important topics of Arithmetic. It is used for comparison of two or more items. Data Interpretation may also consist of questions on Percentages.

Study the following table carefully and answer the questions given below:

Q5. In a certain class the ratio of number of boys to that of the girls is 4 : 5. If five girls are shifted from this class to the other how many boys should be added or removed to make the ratio 1 : 1 ? (1) Cannot be determined (2) 4 boys should be removed (3) 5 boys should be removed (4) 5 boys should be added (5) none of these

3. Time Speed & Distance: Question on TSD may be like this:

Q6. If a car takes 40 minutes to cover a distance of 34 kms. What is its speed per hour?


45 kms. (2) 50 kms. (3) 51 kms. (4) 61 kms. (5) None of these


Geometry: Geometry is another important topic. Questions will be easy on geometry, if you are well prepared with basic concepts.

Q7. The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular field is 5:3. If the area of the field is 375 square metres, what is its perimeter? (1) 85 metres (2) 80 metres (3) 100 metres (4) 120 metres (5) None of these

Q8. The perimeter of a circle is 18 units more than the area of a right-angled triangle. If the base of the triangle is 6 cm more than the radius of the circle and the radius is 2 times the height of the triangle, what is the area of the circle? (1)88 sq. cm. (2) 616 sq. cm. (3) 308 sq. cm. (4) 176 sq. cm. (5) 693 sq. cm.

Number System: Q9. If m = 1.5 and n = 2.5, what is the value of 4m2 + 4mn + n2 =?


16.00 (2) 15.25 (3) 14.50 (4) 30.25 (5) None of these

Answer Solutions:

Q1. (2) Maximum percentage increase= [(95-68)/68]*100 Q2. (3) [(85+95)/85]*100 = 200(approx) Q3. (4) (260/830)*100 = 30 (approx) Q4. (3)Using percentages we can get the answer. Q5. (1) We can solve it easily by using ratio and proportion. Let boys and girls are 4x and 5x. So, (4x+y)/ (5x-5) = 1:1. As this equation consists two variables so we cannot find the value of y. Q6. (3) Converting the minutes into hours and then using Time, Speed and Distance formula. Q7. (2)It is based on simple geometry. After equating the area, we will get the sides of the rectangular field. Q8. (2) Its based on simple geometry. Q9. (4) It becomes (2m+n) ^2. And now putting the values of m and n. Q10. (5) Take a two digit number xy.
