Question Style in MHT CET Transistors PYQs
Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. Most of them (33 of 41) are short numerical questions on the common emitter amplifier.
| Question Style | What it Tests |
|---|---|
| Current and voltage gain | A common emitter amplifier with an AC current gain of 65, a given load resistance and input resistance, and the voltage gain |
| Base and collector currents | An n-p-n transistor with a collector current of 28 mA when 80% of the electrons reach the collector, and the base current |
| Power gain | The ratio of power gain to voltage gain in common emitter configuration |
| α and β relations | The current gain when I_C / I_E = 0.95, and β from α = 0.98 |
| Doping | Which of the emitter, base and collector is heavily doped and which is lightly doped |
How to Use the Transistors PYQ PDF for MHT CET
- Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 22 of the 41 questions.
- Keep α = Ic/Ie, β = Ic/Ib, Ie = Ib + Ic and the gain formulas for the common emitter amplifier on one page.
- For the electron-count questions, convert the percentage of electrons reaching the collector into Ic/Ie first.
- Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
- Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
