Dear Aspirant,

If you are preparing fresh then I suggest you must first read the NCERT and the examples given in between. If you are not able to solve some example then move on and finish the chapter. Then Switch to HC VERMA, and complete the chapter there and all the examples and exercises, then after than complete the NCERT and then Pick up the previous year questions.

For the direct question part there could be some direct application of the concept without much hard thinking but getting the same replica of examples in these books is very low chance.

Hope this helps, Thank you.
