Preface
The National Testing Agency took over the responsibility for conducting CUET in 2021. The Common University
Entrance Test (CUET) had been introduced as the assessment test for admission to UG programs across all Central
Universities. This has been done to ensure that students across the country, whether from urban areas or rural/
remote areas have access to the same opportunities/environment for assessment. As an all-India test conducted
by the National Testing Agency (NTA), it provides a single-window opportunity for admissions, and streamlines the
admissions process, and standardizes the evaluation process.
A full Computer Based Test (CBT), the question paper is divided into four sections: Sections IA & IB contain
language-specific questions, Section II comprises domain questions, and Section III contains questions on general
topics. All questions are MCQ based.
The curriculum for CUET is based on the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) syllabus
for class 12 only. CUET (UG) scores are mandatory required while admitting students to undergraduate courses in 44
central universities.
A merit list will be prepared by participating Universities/organizations. Universities may conduct their
individual counselling on the basis of the scorecard of CUET (UG) provided by NTA.
Almost 1.92 million candidates registered for CUET (UG) in 2023. Candidates have been quite anxious about
appearing for CUET (UG), however, with the right preparation strategy and resources, you can secure a good rank in
CUET (UG). This book is a step in that direction, helping candidates refine their examination strategy, and bridging
the gap between their present preparation level and a rank-securing preparation level.
A merit list will be prepared by participating Universities/organizations. Universities may conduct

their individual counselling on the basis of the scorecard of CUET (UG) provided by NTA.

L ⇒ 12 + 8 = 20
E ⇒ 5 + 8 = 13
A⇒1+8=9
D ⇒ 4 + 8 = 12
E ⇒ 5 + 8 = 13
R ⇒ 18 + 8 = 26
Therefore, LIGHT can be coded as
L ⇒ 12 + 8 = 20
I ⇒ 9 + 8 = 17
G ⇒ 7 + 8 = 15
H ⇒ 8 + 8 = 16
T ⇒ 20 + 8 = 28
So “LIGHT” will be coded as = 20 - 17 - 15 - 16 - 28.

Ans. Option (D) is the correct.
days Explanation:
Considering that there are 7 days in a week.
4 3 (efficiency) Since 363 is not an exact multiple of 7, we
need to find the remainder when dividing
(Total work =LCM(9, 12)) 363 by 7.
36 363 ÷ 7 = 51 with a remainder of 6.
So, if they work on alternate days for two This means that after 51 weeks, there will
days, they will complete a total of 4 + 3 = be 6 days left. Adding these 6 days to
7 units of work. Saturday, we get:
Therefore, if they work on alternate days Saturday + 6 days = Friday
for 10 days, they will complete 7 × 5 = So, the day on the 363rd day will be Friday.
35 units of work.
The remaining work will be 36 - 35 = 1 unit.

Now Suppose
Explanation: No. of books in each stack of
equal height HCF of 84, 90 and 120. ∠ACD = a = ∠DAC
Now, 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 ∴ ∠CDB = 2a = ∠CBD
90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 We know that, the angles of the base of an
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 isosceles triangles are equal.
∴ HCF of 84, 90 and 120 = 2 × 3 = 6 ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – 96 = 84°
or ∠ACD + ∠DCB = 84°

22. Option (3) is correct. ⇒ tan θ = 3
Explanation: Let the roots of quadratic ⇒ tan θ = tan 60°

Given that: The angle (in degrees) of elevation of the sun is
Arithmetic mean of quadratic equation = 8 60°.
α+β 25. Option (1) is correct.
∴ =8
2
or α+β =16 Explanation: According to the question,
Geometric mean of quadratic equation = 5 A’s 4 days work = B’s 5 days work
A:B = 4:5
αβ = 5
and B : C = 6 : 7
αβ = 25
Now A : B : C = (4 × 6) : (5 × 6) : (5 × 7)
Using, quadratic equation
= 24 : 30 : 35
⇒ x2 – (a + b) x + ab = 0
Time taken by A = 7 days
⇒ x2 – 16x + 25 = 0

Explanation: Suppose the numbers be x, 2x
and 4x. Explanation: 67127y76x2 is divisible by 88.
As per question, So, the given number is divisible by 8 and 11,
x2 + (2x)2 + (4x)2 = 1029 As 632 is divisible by 8 so, x = 3
or x2 + 4x2 + 16x2 = 1029 (6 + 1 + 7 + 7 + 3) – (7 + 2 + y + 6 + 2) = 0
or 21x2 = 1029 ⇒ 24 – (17 + y) = 0
1029 ⇒ 24 – 17 – y = 0
or x2 = = 49 or x2 = 49 or x = 7
21 ⇒7–y=0
So, the required difference = 4x - x = 3x ⇒y=7
= 3 × 7 = 21 ∴ 7x – 2y = 7 × 3 – 2 × 7 = 21 – 14 = 7

According to the question, = 3.12 trillion dollar
∴ x = 540k + 10,
Where k is a position integer 32. Option (1) is correct.
= 31 × 17k + 13k + 10 Explanation:
Here, 13k + 10 must be divisible by 31. x2 – 3x + 1 = 0
For k = 4, or x2 + 1 = 3x
13 × 4 + 10 = 62, which is divisible by 31 On dividing both sides by x, we get
∴ x = 540 × 4 + 10 = 2170 1

Radius of wheel = 21 cm
⇒ (x – 25) (x + 4) = 0
No. of revolutions = 10
⇒ x – 25 or x + 4 = 0
Now, distance covered by wheel in one
⇒ x = 25 or x = –4
Revolution = circumference of wheel = 2πr

Profit = `45
Explanation: Let the principal be `x.
S.P. – C.P. = 45
57 34 According to the question,
⇒ x x 45 x + S.I. for 2 years = `5182(i)
12 8
x + S.I. for 3 years = `5832(ii)
114 x 102 x
⇒ 45 On subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii), we get
24 S.I. for 1 year
12 = `(5832 – 5182) = `650
⇒ x = 45
24 ∴ S.I. for 2 years
⇒ x = 45 × 2 = 90 = `(2 × 650) = `1300
∴ Principal = `(5182 – 1300) = `3882

Now, we know that, 39. Option (2) is correct.
Area of circular track = π(R2 – r2) Explanation: Suppose the numbers be 5x, 7x
(Where R = outer radius, r = inner radius) and 12x.
22 As per question
