Engineering Mathematics MCQs TT-1 (March 2021)

 Post by : Sachin Dabhade ( Data Science )              Yeah, Mathematics is a really really good as well as a scoring subject. As we all are the engineers might some exception. We know what actually the stuff math in engineering. And all have a good piece of knowledge. But when it comes to Engineering Mathematics, then the students might be afraid of integration again some exceptions are there, but almost everyone has a tendency that the limits, integration, and derivation is very rough for us. Again we have not covered here that topic. But trust me math is very easy, just we have to practice it day to day in the student as well as professional life because everything needed math. As all know that math is the godfather of engineering so we can't neglect it. So, here are some of the MCQs, and please don't just read them. Solve it as many as you can and see the fear of math will get ignore by your mind.     Stay safe...! Engineering Mathematics MCQs RCPIT Examination, Shirpur. T

Basic Electronics and Electrical Engineering MCQs TT-1 (March 2021)

Post by : Sachin Dabhade ( Data Science )         As the name says in Basic Electronics and Electrical Engineering subject, we clear the basic concept in the field of engineering electronics. As we know that, it is a vast subject for electrical student although it is also important for the other stream students. So make sure that your basic concept of this is build that can help you in upcoming years. Here are some of the MCQs problems for you to practice the basics of BEEE ( Basic Electronic and Electrical Engineering ).  Basic Electronic and Electrical Engineering  RCPIT Examination, Shirpur.

Engineering Mechanics MCQs TT-1 (March 2021)

Post by : Sachin Dabhade ( Data Science )            As we know that engineering is all about problem solving and technical theory stuff as well as practical. And most of the students have unwanted fear about the subject Mechanics. Although Mechanics is not as harder as we considered it. So for overcoming these types of problems we can use the library books. There is good stuff for solving problems. The important thing while learning mechanics is we have to practice it regularly. This can change your mindset to see towards the hard subject ( Mechanics ) as simple. So, keep practicing the Mechanics..!     Stay safe....! Engineering Mechanics MCQs          RCPIT Examination, Shirpur. Type 1: Multiple Choice Questions – 1 Mark 1. Collinear forces are those which      A) Are Concurrent At A Point       B) Are Parallel To Each Other       C) Lie On The Same Line       D) Act On Different Planes     Ans: Option C 2.  If the resultant of two forces is zero then it implies that the two forces
