Relax, Relax and Relax
Plan to keep your body physically fit. Mind agile.
First believe in your two year effort. You have done your best. Feel happy about it. You are going to demonstrate the competence that you built over the last two years.
Think of what works for you. Is it studying intensely for the last five days? Is it more relaxed study? Is it going through core principles of each chapter? Is it solving old difficult problems? Is it solving new problems?
You are the best judge. Anything you do now must make you feel more happy, more confident and more engergized. Go to the examination with hope, and answer the question paper with hope. Answer every question with hope.
When you are answering a question focus on that question. Don't worry about the rest of the paper. Don't worry the about the result. Think you will get the seat. Till the last second focus on the issue at hand and solve.
Remember you have to write more examinations like AIEEE. Don't feel run down at the end of the examination. You should complete the examination with strength and energy and continue your enthusiasm for the next examination. Be cheerful. Learn from the experience to do still better at the next examination. Improvement is the objective. Not dejection.
Believe in your effort, believe in your effort.

Last 3 weeks Preparation for JEE 2009
My suggestion:
Take 6 chapters of a subject each day.
Spend half an hour on principles and formulas for each chapter.
Revise 30 problems of a chapter in an hour. It will be good if you marked difficult problems in your earlier study. Revise those problems now.
That way in 9 hours you can complete 6 chapters in a day.
You can complete all the three subjects before the examination.
I think this last 3 week preparation will add a lot to your earlier effort and make you do your best in the exam.
All the best.
Write tests conducted by your coaching institutes. If they tell you to read some chapters in more detail based on those tests, read those chapters. Remember it is time that you put in 12 to 13 hours effort for JEE. So you have lot more time to think your own ideas as well as to follow ideas of your coaching institutes.

Preparing for Board and IIT JEE
Today (24 Jan 2009) Mint paper carried an article titled Tricks from Tutors.
You may find it on www.livemint.com.
Now you have to think of Boards as well as IIT JEE. Your good performance in Board examination is stepping stone for IIT JEE. There is no conflict between the two. Every concept that you use for board examination is useful for JEE also.
Some suggestions
If you are academically bright student, the next couple of weeks is the time for you to concentrate on concepts that you have not revised earlier. Don't waste time revisiting waht you alread know.
Weaker students have to revise what they know and perfect that.
If you have to appear for competitive examinations, devote 20% of time to prepare for these examinations until mid-February.
5 R's for success: Reorganize, Revise, Rest, Relax and Reassure
Reorganize: Collect and organize you study material for each retrieval.
Connect the course content to everyday ideas to have a greater recall. Try acronyms, mnemonics, rhymes that associate with the concepts.
I personally advocate somebody in the family asking some questions everyday. When you are not able to answer, revise the topic and natural association between that event and the topic will be there.
First understand and then memorize. If you memorize without understanding, examination anxiety may prevent you from recollecting it.
Practice writing answers and attempt some mock tests. It will tell you how much time you are taking to write answers.
Have a timetable for a day, but be flexible around it. Don't get stressed. You may stretch on a day or slightly relax on another day. Stay refreshed and start everyday with enthusiasm.

Formulas used to solve the example problems.
n(A U B) = n(A)+n(B) - N(A∩B)
n(A-B) = n(A)-n(A∩B)
n(A'∩B') = n(U) - n(A∩B) = n((A∩B)')
n(A U B) = n(A)+n(B) - N(A∩B)
n(A-B) = n(A)-n(A∩B)
n(A'∩B') = n(U) - n(A∩B) = n((A∩B)')

Who or what motivates you?
Her answer: "I motivate me."
Her method: Five step exercise.
Five steps
1.What are your payoffs? List down the benefits or rewards from achieving or completing the task.
2. Find deeper meaning in your goals. Find compelling reasons for completing your goal.
3. Get your dreams at half price. Find more goals which can be reached with the work that you are putting in for reaching this goal. Work with a friend. Develop a plan to achieve the goal efficiently with less cost.
4. Stop underestimating your odds for success: Underestimating your odds to succeed can stop you dead in your tracks. Believe in your success till the end of the task.
Err on the side of optimism. Spend less time with people who discourage you on the task or goal. But don't just believe in positive thinking. Investigate the odds, have a real confidence that they are within your teach and always work on improving the odds.
5. Change your real odds or winning or improving odds: Learn from people who have succeeded in reaching the goal before.

Laws and Theories - Revision Part 2
MaxWell's Speed Distribution Law
It is an equation giving the distribution of molecules in different speeds in a gas at a temperature.
If dN represents the number of molecules with speeds between v and v+dv then
dN = 4πN[m/2πkT]3/2v²e-mv²/2kTdv
where
dN represents the number of molecules with speeds between v and v+dv
N = total number of molecules in the gas
m = mass of a molecule
T = absolute temperature of the gas
v = velocity of the molecules
The speed vp at which dN/dv is maximum is called the most probable speed.
Its value is given by
vp = √(2kT/m)
(Topic: Kinetic theory of gases)
Avogadro's Law
Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain equal number of molecules.
(Basic concepts of chemistry)
Vectors
The sum of the resolved parts of two forces acting through a point along any direction is equal to the resolved part of the resultant of the two forces along that direction.
Explanation
If you find the resolved parts in some direction initially and then find their resultant, it will be equal to the resolved part of the resultant of the two forces in the same direction.

Revision - Laws and Theories - 1
Laws of Thermodynamics
Zeroth law: If two bodies A and B are in thermal equilibrium and A and C are also in thermal equilibrium then B and C are also in thermal equilibrium.
First law of thermodynamics
∆U = ∆Q -∆W
Where
∆U = change in internal energy of a thermodynamic system
∆Q = Heat given to the system
∆W = work done by the system
Change in internal energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the heat given to the system minus the work done by the system on surroundings or environment.
Second law of thermodynamics
Kelvin-Planck statement
It is not possible to design a heat engine which works in cyclic process and whose only result is to take heat from a body at a single temperature and convert it completely into mechanical work.
(Topic: Laws of Thermodynamics)
1. Law of conservation of mass
During any physical or chemical change, the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of reactants.
2. Law of constant proportions
A pure chemical compound always contains same elements combined together in the same definite proportion by weight.
3. Law of multiple proportions
When two elements combine to form two or more than two compounds, the weights of one of the elements which combine with a fixed weight of the other, bear a simple whole number ratio.
4. Law of reciprocal proportions
When two different elements combine separately with the same weight of a third element, the ratio in which they do so will be the same or some simple multiple of the ratio in which they combine with each other.
5. Gay Lussac’s law of combing volumes
Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, whenever gases react together, the volumes of the reacting gases as well as products (if gases) bear a simple whole number ratio.
Lagrange's Identity
(a × b)² = a²b² - (a.b)
a and b are vectors
a and b are magnitudes of a and b respectively.
Lagrange's identity is a relation between the cross product and the dot product.

Zeroth law: If two bodies A and B are in thermal equilibrium and A and C are also in thermal equilibrium then B and C are also in thermal equilibrium.
First law of thermodynamics
∆U = ∆Q -∆W
Where
∆U = change in internal energy of a thermodynamic system
∆Q = Heat given to the system
∆W = work done by the system
Change in internal energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the heat given to the system minus the work done by the system on surroundings or environment.
Second law of thermodynamics
Kelvin-Planck statement
It is not possible to design a heat engine which works in cyclic process and whose only result is to take heat from a body at a single temperature and convert it completely into mechanical work.

1. Law of conservation of mass
During any physical or chemical change, the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of reactants.
2. Law of constant proportions
A pure chemical compound always contains same elements combined together in the same definite proportion by weight.
3. Law of multiple proportions
When two elements combine to form two or more than two compounds, the weights of one of the elements which combine with a fixed weight of the other, bear a simple whole number ratio.
4. Law of reciprocal proportions
When two different elements combine separately with the same weight of a third element, the ratio in which they do so will be the same or some simple multiple of the ratio in which they combine with each other.

Mathematics
1. if |z-1| /|z-4| = 2, the locus of z = x+iy in Argand plane will be:
a. parabola
b. hyperbola
c. circle
d. straight line
Answer (c)
z = x+iy
| (x+iy-1) |/| (x+iy-4) | = 2
(x-1) ² + y² = 4[(x-4) ² +y²]
x² -2x+1+y² = 4{x-8x+16+y²]
x² -2x+1+y² = 4x²-32x+64+4y²
3x²-30x+63+3y² = 0
x²+y²-10x+21 = 0
Equation represents a circle with (5,0) as centre and SQRT(5²-21) as radius.
Radius is 2
2.
Let a,b,c be three non-coplanar vectors and p,q,r are vectors defined by the relations
p = b×c/[abc]
q = c×a/[abc]
r = a×b/[abc]
then the value of the expression
[(a+b).p +(b+c).q +(c+a).r] is equal to
a. 3
b. 1
c. 0
d. 2
Answer: (a)
[(a+b).p +(b+c).q +(c+a).r] = [1/(abc)][( [(a+b).(b×c)+ (b+c) .( c×a ) +(c+a).( a×b)]
The property of distributivity of scalar product over vector addition is
a.(b+c) = a.b+a.c and
(b+c).a = b.a+b.c
[1/(abc)][( [(a+b).(b×c)+ (b+c) .( c×a ) +(c+a).( a×b)] =
[1/(abc)][( a .(b×c)+ b.(b×c)+b .( c×a ) + b.(b×c)+c.( a×b) +a.( a×b)]
If a┴b, a.b = 0
Hence b.(b×c), and b.(b×c) and a.( a×b) are zero as .(b×c) will be a vector perpendicular to vectors b and c.
Hence the expression reduces to [1/(abc)][( a .(b×c)+ b .( c×a ) + c.( a×b)]
As a .(b×c) = b .( c×a ) = c.( a×b) = (abc)
The expression reduces to 3/(abc) /(abc) = 3

3. A particle moving eastwards with a velocity 5 m/s. In 10 seconds the velocity changes to 5 m/s northwards. The average acceleration in this time is
a. zero
b. 1/SQRT(2) m/s² towards north-west
c. ½ m/s² toward north-west
d. ½ m/s² towards north
Answer (b)
The average acceleration must have an westward component and northward component to make the velocity towards east as zero and to make velocity towards north as 5 m/s
Hence it will act in the direction of northwest.
Westward component of average acceleration = (0-5)/10 = -½ m/s²
Northward component of average of acceleration = (5-0)/10 = ½ m/s²
Hence magnitude of average acceleration = Sqrt( (-1/2) ²+(1/2) ²) = 1/SQRT(2)

4. Which of the following has maximum number of atoms?
a. 24 g of C (M=12 g mol^-1
b. 23 g of Na (M = 23 g mol^-1)
c. 48 g of S (M = 32 b mol^-1)
d. 108 g of Ag (M = 108 mol ^-1)
Answer: (a)
Number of moles (N) = m/M
Where m = given mass
M = molar mass
Hence Number of moles of carbon = 2
Number of moles of Na = 1
Number of moles of S = 1.5
Number of moles of Ag = 1
So 24 g of C having 2 moles has the maximum number of atoms.
5. The wave number of the shortest wavelength transition in the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen is.
a. 27420 cm^-1
b. 28420 cm^-1
c. 29420 cm^-1
d. 12186 cm^-1
Answer: (a)
Wave number = 1/ λ = R(1/nf² - 1/ni²)
Wave length is shortest, when energy emitted is highest. This will happen when the electron jumps from n = ∞ to n=2.
So wave number = 109677 cm^-1(1/2² - 1/∞²)
= 109677(1/4)
= 27419.25 cm^-1
1. if |z-1| /|z-4| = 2, the locus of z = x+iy in Argand plane will be:
a. parabola

Answer (c)
z = x+iy
| (x+iy-1) |/| (x+iy-4) | = 2
(x-1) ² + y² = 4[(x-4) ² +y²]
x² -2x+1+y² = 4{x-8x+16+y²]
x² -2x+1+y² = 4x²-32x+64+4y²
3x²-30x+63+3y² = 0
x²+y²-10x+21 = 0

Radius is 2
2.
Let a,b,c be three non-coplanar vectors and p,q,r are vectors defined by the relations
p = b×c/[abc]
q = c×a/[abc]
r = a×b/[abc]
then the value of the expression
[(a+b).p +(b+c).q +(c+a).r] is equal to
a. 3
b. 1
c. 0
d. 2
Answer: (a)
[(a+b).p +(b+c).q +(c+a).r] = [1/(abc)][( [(a+b).(b×c)+ (b+c) .( c×a ) +(c+a).( a×b)]
The property of distributivity of scalar product over vector addition is
a.(b+c) = a.b+a.c and
(b+c).a = b.a+b.c
[1/(abc)][( [(a+b).(b×c)+ (b+c) .( c×a ) +(c+a).( a×b)] =
[1/(abc)][( a .(b×c)+ b.(b×c)+b .( c×a ) + b.(b×c)+c.( a×b) +a.( a×b)]
If a┴b, a.b = 0
Hence b.(b×c), and b.(b×c) and a.( a×b) are zero as .(b×c) will be a vector perpendicular to vectors b and c.
Hence the expression reduces to [1/(abc)][( a .(b×c)+ b .( c×a ) + c.( a×b)]
As a .(b×c) = b .( c×a ) = c.( a×b) = (abc)
The expression reduces to 3/(abc) /(abc) = 3
