The Drill: 26 Questions, JEE Main Rules
Note: These are original questions written to the JEE Main pattern for Vector Algebra — single-correct MCQs at exam difficulty. They are practice items, not past-paper reproductions.
Simulate the exam:
- Time budget: 26 questions in 60 minutes — most vector questions are two-line solves if the right identity is chosen first.
- 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 vectors; 65-84 — fundamentals fine, drill the triple-product and identity questions from Section 8; 40-64 — revisit Sections 4 and 5, then retake; below 40 — go back through the solved examples of Section 6 first.
Before touching a pen, classify each stem: magnitude/angle (dot), perpendicular/area/volume (cross or triple), dividing point (section formula), parallel (proportional components), or identity manipulation (square the sum, Lagrange, BAC-CAB). The classification is the question; the arithmetic is clerical.
