Preface
In the case of good books, the point is not how many you can get through, but rather how many can get
through to you.
STD XII Sci.: PHYSICS NUMERICALS is a complete and thorough guide to the numerical aspect of
the HSC preparation. The book is prepared as per the Maharashtra State Board syllabus .Subtopic wise
segregation of Solved Numericals in each chapter help the student to gain knowledge of the broad spectrum
of problems in each subtopic Formulae which form a vital part of problem-solving are provided in every
chapter. Solutions and calculations have been broken down to the simplest form possible (with
log calculation provided wherever needed) so that the student can tackle each and every problem with ease.
Problems for practice are provided to test the vigilance and alertness of the students and build their
confidence. Board Numericals till the latest year have been provided to help the student get accustomed to
the different standards of board numericals. Numerical based multiple choice questions are covered sub-
topic-wise to prepare the student on a competitive level.
Solution/hints to practice problems and multiple choice questions can be downloaded in PDF format from
our website www. targetpublications.org
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think weve
nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, wed love to hear from you.
