The Drill: 26 Questions, JEE Main Rules
Note: These are original questions written to the JEE Main pattern for Differential Equations — single-correct MCQs at exam difficulty. They are practice items, not past-paper reproductions.
Simulate the exam:
- Time budget: 26 questions in 60 minutes — classification speed is everything in this chapter.
- Marking: JEE Main scheme — +4 correct, −1 wrong, unattempted.
- Attempt everything in one sitting before reading any explanation.
Self-scoring table:
| Result | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +4 |
| Wrong answer | −1 |
| Not attempted | 0 |
| Maximum score | 104 |
Interpreting your score: 85+ — exam-ready on differential equations; 65-84 — classification is fine, drill the substitution tricks and integrating-factor table from Section 8; 40-64 — revisit Sections 3 to 5, then retake; below 40 — go back through the solved examples of Section 6 first.
Before computing anything, spend ten seconds classifying each stem: separable, homogeneous, linear (in or in ), Bernoulli, a shift block , or a formation/order-degree question that needs no integration at all. Roughly a third of this drill is solvable in under a minute if the classification is right — and nearly unsolvable in three minutes if it is wrong.
