JEE Mains PYQ Chapterwise PDF Download – Why It Matters

The JEE Mains 2026 syllabus is huge. Going through study material and trying to solve the previous years question papers all
at once can be hectic. So, we have divided the material into all the chapters and added previous years question after each
chapter. This technique will be very helpful as you can finish one chapter completely before moving into the next one. There
are several reasons why chapterwise PYQs are important. Let's see the benefits of solving the JEE Mains chapterwise
previous years questions below:

1. Previous year questions are very important for practicing. Practising for each chapter one at a time can help boost
confidence and minimize confusion.
 2. They will help you understand the exam pattern in a practical manner. Then you can also understand the type of
questions asked from each chapter.

3. You will get a very good idea about the weightage and important topics as well.

The following link provides the PYQs that you must solve to practice for JEE Mains 2026.

JEE Mains 2026 Chapter wise

Weightage

In this section, we will be seeing some of the top weighted chapters and some questions asked from them.

JEE Main Physics Chapterwise Previous Years Questions

This table has the most important chapters of JEE Mains Physics according to the last 10 years question papers.

Chapter Name Weightage

Ray Optics And Optical Instruments 13.26%
Electrostatics 10.74%
Properties of Solids and Liquids 9.05%
Physics and Measurement 6.11%
Rotational Motion 6.53%

JEE Main Previous Years Questions Physics

Some questions have been listed below from the top chapters:

1. Optics

Q: A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed at a distance of 30 cm from an object. Find the position and nature of the
image formed.

Solution: Using the lens formula,

[ 1 f = 1 v − 1 u , 1 20 = 1 v − 1 − 30 ]
[ 1 20 = 1 v + 1 30 , 1 v = 1 20 − 1 30 = 1 60 ]

v = 60 cm

The image is real, inverted, and formed 60 cm on the other side of the lens.

2. Electrostatics

Q: Two equal point charges +q are placed at a distance d apart. Find the electric field at the midpoint of the line joining
them.

Solution: At the midpoint, the fields due to both charges are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Hence,

E net = 0

3. Properties of Solids & Liquids

Q: A steel wire of length 2 m and cross-sectional area 1 mm² is stretched by a force of 100 N. Young's modulus for steel Y =
2×10¹¹ N/m². Find the extension.

Solution:

Δ L = F L A Y = 100 × 2 ( 1 × 10 − 6 ) ( 2 × 10 11 ) = 1 × 10 − 3 m = 1 mm

4. Magnetic Effects of Current & Magnetism

Q: Find the magnetic field at the center of a circular coil of radius 0.1 m having 100 turns and carrying a current of 1 A.

Solution:

B = μ 0 N I 2 R = ( 4 π × 10 − 7 ) ( 100 ) ( 1 ) 2 × 0.1 = 2 π × 10 − 4 T

5. Rotational Motion

Q: A solid sphere of mass 2 kg and radius 0.2 m rolls without slipping with a linear speed of 5 m/s. Find its total kinetic
energy.

Solution: Total kinetic energy = Translational + Rotational

K E = 1 2 m v 2 + 1 2 I ω 2 = 1 2 ( 2 ) ( 5 2 ) + 1 2 ( 2 5 ( 2 ) ( 0.2 2 ) ) ( 5 0.2 ) 2 = 25 + 10 = 35 J

JEE Main Chemistry Chapterwise Previous Years Questions

As you already know, Chemistry is the most scoring subject in JEE Mains exam. Studying chpaterwise will avoid confusion
and help you prepare better. Let's look at some of the most important chapters in Chemistry and understand the type of
questions asked.

Chapter Name Weightage

Coordination Compounds 8.21%
Chemical Thermodynamics 6.95%
Some Basic Concept Of Chemistry 7.79%
Hydrocarbons 5.26%
Organic Compounds containing Oxygen 5.26%

JEE Main Previous Years Questions Chemistry

Let's see the type of questions asked in chemistry in previous years JEE Mains exam.

1. Co-ordination Compounds

Question: Match the following:

- Co-Wilkinson catalyst

- Zn - Carbonic anhydrase

- Rh - Vitamin B12

- Mg - Chlorophyll

Solution:

- Co forms Wilkinson catalyst (Rh-based, but Co often confused in matching themes)

- Zn associates with enzyme carbonic anhydrase

- Rh is central to Wilkinson catalyst (common match)

- Mg is central in chlorophyll

2. Chemical Thermodynamics

Question: Calculate ΔG for a reaction at 298 K if ΔH=−100 kJ and ΔS=−200 J/K.

Solution:

Convert units: ΔS=−0.200 kJ/K

Δ G = Δ H − T Δ S = − 100 − ( 298 × − 0.200 ) = − 100 + 59.6 = − 40.4 kJ

3. Some Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry

Question: Which of the following statements about organic compounds is correct?

Options:

A) Organic compounds always contain metals.

B) Carbon can form four covalent bonds.

C) Organic compounds do not contain hydrogen.

D) Carbon cannot form rings.

Solution:

B) Carbon can form four covalent bonds

4. Hydrocarbons

Question: Which of the following is a saturated hydrocarbon?

Options:

A) Ethene

B) Ethyne

C) Ethane

D) Benzene

Answer:

C) Ethane

5. Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen

Question: Which functional group is present in alcohols?

Options:

JEE Main Maths Chapterwise Previous Years Questions

Maths is a tricky subject. It requires a lot of practice. Your main aim in maths should be to increase speed and accuracy.
Let's see the Maths most important chapters and some previous year questions. JEE Main PYQ Maths, along with
chapterwise distribution, is given as follows:

Chapter Name Weightage

Co-ordinate Geometry 17.89%

Limits And Derivatives 8.84%

 Chapter Name Weightage

Sets, Relations and Functions 7.79%

Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations 6.95%

JEE Mains Maths previous Year questions:

Let's see some previous years questions from JEE Mains maths.

1. Co-ordinate Geometry

Q: The equation of the circle passing through the point (1,2) and having its center at (3,−1) is:

Solution:

Radius = distance between (3,−1) and (1,2)

r = ( 3 − 1 ) 2 + ( − 1 − 2 ) 2 = 2 2 + ( − 3 ) 2 = 13

Equation of circle:

( x − 3 ) 2 + ( y + 1 ) 2 = 13

2. Integral Calculus

Q: Evaluate ∫0π/2sin2⁡xdx.

Solution:

sin 2 ⁡x = 1 − cos ⁡2 x 2

∫ 0 π / 2 sin 2 ⁡x d x = ∫ 0 π / 2 1 − cos ⁡2 x 2 d x = 1 2 [ x − sin ⁡2 x 2 ] 0 π / 2

=12(π2−0)=π4

3. Limit, Continuity \& Differentiability

Q: Evaluate limx→0 sin⁡5xx.

Solution:

lim x → 0 sin ⁡5 x x = lim x → 0 sin ⁡5 x 5 x ⋅ 5 = 1 ⋅ 5 = 5

4. Sets, Relations and Functions

Q: If A={1,2,3},B={a,b}, find the number of relations from A to B.

Solution:

- Total ordered pairs possible =|A|×|B|=3×2=6.

- Each pair can be either in relation or not → total =26=64.

Answer: 64 relations
5. Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Q : If α and β are roots of x 2 + 4 x + 13 = 0 , find | α − β | .

Solution:

Discriminant =b2−4ac=16−52=−36

So, |α−β|=|D|a=361=6

How to Use JEE Main Chapterwise PYQs for Revision

Some tips for your revision are given below:

1. Plan your chapters out wisely.

2. After the completion of 3 chapters from every subject, start giving mock tests on a weekly basis.

3. After finishing the syllabus, plan our mock tests on a daily basis.

4. Keep separate time for revision and separate for mock tests.

5. Analyze your answers in mock tests and identify your weak and strong chapters.

6. Strengthen and practise your weaker chapters.
