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:

1998 280 152 112 152 125 112 933
Q.1. In which of the following years was the per cent increase/decrease in the production of model F from the previous years the maximum?
(1) 1998 (2) 1997 (3) 1994 (4) 1995 (5) 1996
Q.2. The total production of models C and E together in 1993 was what per cent of the production of model C in 1994?
(1) 100 (2) 50 (3) 200 (4) 150 (5) None of these
Q.3. The production of model A in 1995 was approximately what percentage of the total production of all the models together in that year?
(1) 40 (2) 35 (3) 25 (4) 30 (5) 20
2. Ratio: Another important topic from arithmetic section. Questions on this topic may be asked as under:
Q4. When (2/5) th of a filled up tank was emptied 1800 litres of liquid was remaining in the tank. How many litres of the liquid, was removed from the tank?
(1) 720 (2) 4500 (3) 1200 (4) 8100 (5) None of these
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:
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.
