Question Style in MHT CET Uniform Circular Motion PYQs

Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. About half need a formula for centripetal force or acceleration, and the rest ask for an angular quantity or a statement.

Question Style	What it Tests
Banking and vehicles on curves	The maximum safe speed of a car on a banked road, the speed on a dry and a wet road, a car on a convex bridge, and a motor cyclist inside a cylindrical wall
Vertical circle and conical pendulum	A bucket of water revolved in a vertical circle, the tension in a string, and a particle moving in a horizontal circle inside a conical funnel
Clock hands and angular speed	The relative angular speed of the hour hand and the minute hand, and the angular speed of the minute hand in degrees per second
Ratios between two bodies	Two stones or two bodies moving in horizontal or concentric circles, and the ratio of their speeds, periods or centripetal forces
Statement based	Which quantity stays constant, or which statement is false, for a particle in uniform circular motion

How to Use the Uniform Circular Motion PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 24 of the 56 questions.
Revise a = v²/r = ω²r and F = mv²/r together with the banking formula tanθ = v²/rg.
For the vertical circle, compare the tension at the top and at the bottom before you attempt the numerical questions.
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.
