Preface

“Std. XI: Sci. Triumph Physics” is a complete and thorough guide to prepare students for a competitive
level examination. The book will not only assist students with MCQs of Std. XI but will also help them to prepare for
JEE, AIPMT, CET and various other competitive examinations.
The content of this book is based on the Maharashtra State Board Syllabus. Formulae that form a vital part of
MCQ solving are provided in each chapter. Notes provide important information about the topic. Shortcuts provide
easy and less tedious solving methods. Mindbenders have been introduced to bridge the gap between a text book
topic and the student’s understanding of the same. A quick reference to the notes, shortcuts and mindbenders has been
provided wherever possible.
MCQs in each chapter are divided into three sections:
Classical Thinking: consists of straight forward questions including knowledge based questions.
Critical Thinking: consists of questions that require some understanding of the concept.
Competitive Thinking: consists of questions from various competitive examinations like JEE, AIPMT, CET, CPMT etc.
Hints have been provided to the MCQs which are broken down to the simplest form possible.
An Evaluation Test has been provided at the end of each chapter to assess the level of preparation of the
student on a competitive level.
An additional feature of pictorial representation of a topic is added to give the student a glimpse of various
interesting physics concept.
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think we’ve
nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.

Best of luck to all the aspirants!

Yours faithfully

1.2 Relation between degree
measure and radian measure

1.3 Length of an arc and area of

Roller coasters are the best example, when we look

at the real life situation for measuring and drawing

the angles. It involves reading the angles of rises and

falls on roller coasters.

Hints

Classical Thinking 12. In one minute, minute hand covers 6°

(cid:68)
7. 74.87° = 74° + (0.87)° ⎛1⎞
∴ Hour hand covers
⎜ ⎟
= 74° + (0.87 × 60)′ ⎝2⎠
(cid:68)
= 74° + 52.2′ ⎛1⎞
∴ Minute hand gains = 6° −
⎜ ⎟
= 74° + 52′ + (0.2 × 60)′′ ⎝2⎠
= 74°52′12′′ (cid:68)
⎛1⎞

⎜ ⎟
8. Let the angles be x, 2x and 3x. ⎝2⎠
Then, x + 2x + 3x = 180° = 5°30′

….[∵ sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°] 13. Here, 405° − (− 675°) = 1080° = 3(360°),
1230° − (− 930°) = 2160° = 6(360°)
∴ 6x = 180°
and 450° − (− 630°) = 1080° = 3(360°)
∴ x = 30°, 2x = 60° and 3x = 90°
are a multiple of 360°.
10. In 1 minute, minute hand covers 360°
∴ these angles are co-terminal
360°
Now, 330° − (− 60°) = 390°
i.e., in 60 mins, minute hand covers = 6°
60
Which is not a multiple of 360°.

∴ these pair of angles are not co-terminal.
