 Preface
“Triumph Chemistry” is a complete and thorough guide to prepare students for MHT-CET examination. The
content of this book is based on the Maharashtra State Board Syllabus. This book includes chapters of Std. XII Sc.
and selected chapters of Std. XI Sc. curriculum as per latest MHT-CET Paper Pattern. Quick Review which
summarizes the important concepts of the entire chapter is provided for all the chapters. Formulae that form a

T
vital part of MCQ solving are provided for relevant chapters.
MCQs in each chapter are divided into three sections:

N
Classical Thinking: consists of straight forward questions including knowledge based questions.

Critical Thinking: consists of questions that require understanding of the concept.

TE
Competitive Thinking: consists of questions from various competitive examinations like JEE, NEET (UG),
MHT CET, KCET, GUJ CET, AP-EAMCET (Engineering, Medical), TS-EAMCET (Engineering, Medical),
Assam CEE, BCECE, WB JEE, etc.
Additional chapter Organic Reaction has been provided which includes MCQs based on various organic

N
chemistry concepts.
An Evaluation Test has been provided at the end of each chapter and two Model Question Papers (as per MHT
O
CET pattern) to assess the level of preparation of the student on a competitive level.
MHT-CET 2019 Question Paper (6th May, Afternoon) along with Answer Key have been included.
C
Hints have been provided in downloadable format to relevant MCQs, evaluation test and
MHT-CET 2019 Question Paper.
In order to understand how chemistry plays an important role in our day to day life, we have made an attempt to
illustrate the same in the form of images/visuals in the related chapters.
E

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.

Actually there is no chemical reaction in the working

of a nail polish remover. The process works on the
principle of like dissolves like. The nail polish
SA

remover is just the organic solvent that is used as an

ingredient in the nail polish. The hardened organic
nail polish is dissolved by the nail polish remover
(which is also organic). Generally the remover
contains acetone.
