Weightage: what the paper actually did

Mechanical Properties of Solids carried 1 question in the NEET 2026 paper. One paper is a data point, not a destiny: NTA moves weight between chapters every cycle, which is why the weightage tables deserve care. The stable facts are the paper's shape: 180 questions, 720 marks, +4 right, −1 wrong.

Question 1 · NEET 2020

A wire of length L, area of cross section A is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to L1_{1} when mass M is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is
  1. A.Mg(L1_{1}-L)/(AL)
  2. B.MgL/(AL1_{1})
  3. C.MgL/[A(L1_{1}-L)]
  4. D.MgL1_{1}/(AL)
Answer and explanation

Answer: C

Young's modulus Y=StressStrain=F/AΔL/LY = \frac{Stress}{Strain} = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L}. Substituting, Y=MgA∗LL1−L=MgLA(L1−L)Y = \frac{Mg}{A} * \frac{L}{L_1 - L} = \frac{MgL}{A(L_1 - L)}. Chapter: Mechanical Properties of Solids.

How to practise Mechanical Properties of Solids

Chapter by chapter, against real past-paper questions, on a screen: NEET is computer based from 2027. Read the chapter once, then attempt its PYQs until your accuracy stops climbing, and let the wrong answers tell you which lines to reread. If the chapter keeps refusing to stick, that has its own guide. There is also a free NEET mini mock with answers.
