Maths Prompt for AP EAMCET 2025 Preparation
Sample Problem: Arrangement of Flowers
Problem: Find the number of ways to arrange 3 red, 2 white, and 4 blue flowers of different sizes into a garland such that no two blue flowers are together.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Total Arrangements for a Garland: For a circular arrangement of ( n ) distinct items, the number of ways is ( (n-1)! ). Here, we have 3 red + 2 white + 4 blue = 9 flowers (distinct due to different sizes). Thus, total circular arrangements (without restrictions) are ( (9-1)! = 8! = 40,320 ). Since a garland can be flipped (no distinct front/back), divide by 2:
[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{8!}{2} = \frac{40,320}{2} = 20,160 ] -
Arrange Non-Blue Flowers: First, arrange the 3 red and 2 white flowers (5 flowers) in a circle. Circular arrangements of 5 distinct flowers: ( (5-1)! = 4! = 24 ). Divide by 2 for garland symmetry:
[ \text{Non-blue arrangements} = \frac{4!}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12 ] -
Place Blue Flowers: The 5 non-blue flowers create 5 gaps (including the gap between the last and first flower). To ensure no two blue flowers are together, place 4 blue flowers in these 5 gaps, one per gap. Number of ways to choose 4 gaps out of 5: ( C(5,4) = 5 ). Arrange 4 distinct blue flowers in these 4 gaps: ( 4! = 24 ). Thus:
[ \text{Ways to place blue flowers} = C(5,4) \times 4! = 5 \times 24 = 120 ] -
Total Valid Arrangements: Multiply the arrangements of non-blue flowers by the ways to place blue flowers:
[ \text{Total} = 12 \times 120 = 1,440 ]
Answer: 1,440 ways.
Formulas Used
-
Circular permutations: ( (n-1)! )
-
Garland symmetry: Divide by 2 for indistinguishable flips.
-
Combinations: ( C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} )
-
Permutations of distinct items: ( n! )
Tips and Tricks for Similar Problems
-
Understand Circular Arrangements: For garlands, divide linear arrangements by 2 to account for symmetry.
-
Break Down Constraints: Handle restrictions (e.g., “no two blue flowers together”) by arranging unrestricted items first, then placing restricted items in gaps.
-
Practice Combinations: Use ( C(n,r) ) for selecting positions efficiently.
-
Shortcut: For “no two items together,” calculate gaps from other items and use combinations to place restricted items. For this problem, quickly compute gaps (5 from non-blue flowers) and multiply by permutations of restricted items (4!).

Physics Prompt for AP EAMCET 2025 Preparation
Sample Problem: Capacitor Energy with Dielectric
Problem: A parallel plate capacitor with plate area ( A ) and separation ( d ) is connected to a battery of voltage ( V ). If the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric of constant ( K ), find the energy stored.
Step-by-Step Explanation
-
Initial Capacitance: For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance without dielectric is:
[ C_0 = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} ] where ( \epsilon_0 ) is the permittivity of free space. -
Capacitance with Dielectric: When a dielectric of constant ( K ) fills the space, capacitance becomes:
[ C = K C_0 = \frac{K \epsilon_0 A}{d} ] -
Energy Stored: With the battery connected, voltage ( V ) remains constant. Energy stored in a capacitor is:
[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 ] Substitute ( C = \frac{K \epsilon_0 A}{d} ):
[ U = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{K \epsilon_0 A}{d} \right) V^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{K \epsilon_0 A V^2}{d} ]
Answer: Energy stored is ( \frac{1}{2} \frac{K \epsilon_0 A V^2}{d} ).
Concept Simplified
A capacitor stores energy in its electric field. Adding a dielectric increases capacitance by reducing the electric field strength, allowing more charge storage at the same voltage. This increases the energy stored when connected to a battery.
Formulas Used
-
Capacitance: ( C_0 = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} )
-
Capacitance with dielectric: ( C = K C_0 )
-
Energy stored: ( U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 )
Tips and Tricks for Similar Problems
-
Focus on High-Weightage Topics: Electrostatics and capacitors have high weightage in AP EAMCET 2025.
-
Memorize Key Formulas: Know capacitance and energy formulas by heart.
-
Understand Battery vs. Isolated: With a battery, voltage is constant; without, charge is constant, affecting energy calculations.
-
Shortcut: For dielectric problems, multiply initial capacitance by ( K ) and use the energy formula directly if voltage is constant.

Chemistry Prompt for AP EAMCET 2025 Preparation
Sample Topic: Chemical Bonding Concepts
Concept: Understand types of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic) and their properties for AP EAMCET 2025 preparation.
Explanation in Simple Terms
-
Ionic Bonding: Formed by electron transfer between a metal and non-metal, creating oppositely charged ions (e.g., NaCl). Properties: High melting points, soluble in water, conduct electricity when molten.
Example: In NaCl, Na⁺ donates an electron to Cl⁻, forming a strong electrostatic bond. -
Covalent Bonding: Electrons are shared between non-metals (e.g., H₂O, CO₂). Types: Single, double, triple bonds. Properties: Lower melting points, often insoluble in water, non-conductive.
Example: In CO₂, carbon shares electrons with two oxygen atoms, forming double bonds. -
Metallic Bonding: Electrons are delocalized in a “sea” around metal atoms (e.g., Cu, Fe). Properties: High conductivity, malleability, high melting points.
Example: Copper’s free electrons allow it to conduct electricity. -
VSEPR Theory: Predicts molecular shapes based on electron pairs (e.g., H₂O is bent due to lone pairs on oxygen).
Example Question: Predict the shape of NH₃.
Answer: NH₃ has a trigonal pyramidal shape (3 bonding pairs, 1 lone pair).
Key Points for EAMCET
-
Chemical bonding is a high-weightage topic, especially organic and inorganic chemistry.

Practice Diagrams: Draw Lewis structures to visualize bonds and shapes.
-
Shortcut: For molecular shapes, count bonding and lone pairs quickly to predict geometry (e.g., NH₃: 3 bonds + 1 lone pair = trigonal pyramidal).
