MHCET Law 2026 Quantitative Aptitude: Topic-wise Tips to Crack Exam

There are several topics in the Quant section. For the 5-yr LLB aspirant, it is important to apply these tips to appear for the exam: 

1. Tips to Memorize Conversions

Percentages appear almost everywhere in MH CET Law quantitative aptitude. Turning them into fractions makes solving much quicker, and honestly, it reduces mental load too. Here are the conversions you should remember.

Percentage Fraction Decimal
50% 1/2 0.5
25% 1/4 0.25
75% 3/4 0.75
20% 1/5 0.2
10% 1/10 0.1
12.5% 1/8 0.125

Instead of multiplying 25% with 640, just divide by 4.

640 ÷ 4 = 160

Exam Insight: Usually a few questions are directly built around percentages, so knowing this helps more than you may think.

2. Use Alligation for Average Questions

When two values are mixed to get a new average, the alligation method works faster than long formulas. Many aspirants ignore it, which is a mistake. See the simple structure below.

Higher Value Difference
Mean Value  
Lower Value Difference

Example:
Rice costing ₹40/kg mixed with ₹60/kg to make ₹50/kg.

60 − 50 = 10

50 − 40 = 10

Ratio becomes 1 : 1. No heavy calculation needed there.

3. Apply the Rule of 72 in Compound Interest

Compound interest questions can look lengthy; however, they are often approximation-based. Use the Rule of 72 to estimate how long money takes to double.

Interest Rate Years to Double
6% 12 years
8% 9 years
9% 8 years
12% 6 years

Formula:
Years ≈ 72 ÷ Interest Rate

Not perfectly exact, but close enough for most exam questions.

4. Try Base Multiplication Tricks

Numbers near 100 are easier than they appear.

Example: 97 × 96

100 − 97 = 3

100 − 96 = 4

97 − 4 = 93

3 × 4 = 12

Answer becomes 9312.

After practicing twice, it almost feels automatic.

5. Know Squares up to 30

Remembering squares saves a surprising amount of time. You may not notice it first, but during the exam every second counts. Here are important ones.

Number Square
11 121
12 144
15 225
20 400
25 625
30 900

Students who memorize these rarely get stuck in long multiplication.

6. Cross-Multiply in Ratio Problems

Long fractions slow you down. Cross-multiplication keeps things clean.

If x/4 = 6/8

8x = 24

x = 3

One step, done. No confusion happens when you keep it simple.

7. Convert Division into Multiplication

Division is generally slower for the brain to process. Multiplication feels quicker.

240 ÷ 15

= 240 × (1/15)

Since 15 × 16 = 240,

Answer = 16

Always check if numbers cancel first. Many students forget this, unfortunately.

8. Remember the Speed–Distance Relationship

Instead of deriving formulas during the exam (which you should never be doing), just memorize the relationship.

Formula Use
Speed = Distance / Time When speed is missing
Distance = Speed × Time When distance is missing
Time = Distance / Speed When time is missing

Keeping this in memory avoids last-minute stress.

9. Use Approximation Whenever Possible

MH CET Law does not test calculator-level precision. Smart estimation often eliminates wrong options immediately.

Example:

498 × 19 ≈ 500 × 20 = 10,000

Then adjust slightly downward. Fast thinkers rely on approximation more than raw calculation.

General Knowledge (GK) is often said to be the hardest part of the MH CET Law exam because it's wide, changing, and not easy to predict. Current affairs are usually simpler to handle, but the static GK part that includes history, geography, and legal topics becomes tough for many students.
