Probability Formula

Probability Formula
- $P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)$
- $P(A \cap B)=P(A) \times P\left(\frac{B}{A}\right)$

Trigonometric Limits
Some important JEE formulas for trigonometric limit are
(i) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1$
(ii) $\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}=1$
(iii) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathrm{a}} \frac{\sin (\mathbf{x}-\mathrm{a})}{\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a}}=\mathbf{1}$

As $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \frac{1}{\cos x}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\cos x}=1 \times 1$
As $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (x-a)}{x-a}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ((a+h)-a)}{(a+h)-a}$

$$
\begin{aligned}
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin h}{h} \\
& =1
\end{aligned}
$$

(iv) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow \mathbf{a}} \frac{\tan (\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a})}{\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{a}}=\mathbf{1}$
(v) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$

Similarly, $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\tan (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$

(vi) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x=1$
(vii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=1$

As $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{y}{\sin y} \quad\left[\because \sin ^{-1} x=y\right]$

$$
=1
$$

(viii) $\lim _{\mathbf{x} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}}{\mathbf{x}}=\mathbf{1}$

Exponential Limits
To solve the limit of the function involving the exponential function, we use the following standard results
(i) $\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{x}}-1}{\mathrm{x}}=\log _{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{a}$

Proof:

$$
\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^x-1}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+\frac{x(\log a)}{11}+\frac{x^2(\log a)^2}{2!}+\cdots\right)-1}{x}
$$

[using Taylor series expansion of $a^x$ ]

$$
\begin{aligned}
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\log a}{1!}+\frac{x(\log a)^2}{2!}+\cdots\right) \\
& =\log _e a
\end{aligned}
$$

(ii) $\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}-1}{\mathrm{x}}=1$

In General, if $x \rightarrow a$, then we have
(a) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{a^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log _e a$
(b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{e^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log _e e=1$

Hello,

For JEE Main and JEE Advanced , the cut-offs are lower for ST category students. Here is a simple idea based on recent trends:

  • JEE Main qualification for ST : Around 50–60 marks is usually enough to qualify for JEE Advanced.

  • JEE Advanced qualification for ST : You just need to clear the JEE Main cut-off, then appear for Advanced.

  • To get good NITs or IITs , you will need higher marks.

    • For NITs (Hyderabad or good branches), try for 120+ marks in JEE Main .

    • For IITs , even with ST quota, you should aim for at least 80–100+ marks in JEE Advanced for decent branches.

Since you are from ST category and Hyderabad , you don’t need 300 marks in JEE Main. Try to score as high as possible to get better branches, but even moderate marks can qualify you.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you can. If you do 11th from CBSE in 2025 and 12th from NIOS in 2026, then you are allowed to attempt JEE. NIOS is a valid board, so you can give JEE in 2026 and again in 2027. Just take admission on time and pass your 12th exams.
