Answer:
Numerical questions have a numerical value as an answer and these have to be generally accurate to the point of 4 decimals in most exams. Unlike multiple choice questions, these answers need to be worked and calculated by students and the numerical value input using the mouse and the on?screen virtual numeric keypad that is given in the test on the screen.
Well JEE Advanced generally has numerical questions. So to get an idea, students can refer to the past year JEE Advanced question papers. These have to be calculated by students and the value deduced should be entered.
No, the JEE Main syllabus 2020 does not specify any such portions for numerical questions. Questions that need calculations and whose answers will be a numerical value may figure in the question paper.

Hope this helps you...
Heyyy aspirant
According to me you should focus on all the easy concepts that you have your built on . Once you are thorough with those concepts then you should jump to those concepts that are lil tough and hard and you have practiced a lot earlier but you are not strong with them right now . You should try to solve all those questions which you have solved earlier. DO NOT JUMP ON TO NEW QUESTIONS .
For the hard or lengthier concept you should try to solve more of the basics .
DO NOT INDULGE IN NEW CONCEPTS .
hope this helps .
