Solve HC Verma without seeing solution
The foremost things to do in order to master Rotational Motion are as follows :
1) It is expected to have prior knowledge of chapters namely
a) Work, power and energy
b) Center of Mass
c) Momentum Conservation
2) If the above point is fulfilled you can always took up the chapter in full swing starting with the very basics of Moment of Inertia. Grasp the basics of deriving the MOI of all bodies by integration techniques. It helps a lot for JEE. Don't just remember the result. Learn how to derive.
3) Then comes the basics of Torque.
For this first thing to know is to find the direction of torque by the Right Hand Thumb Rule. Calculation of Torque is easy while finding it's direction is tough.
4) Once you get hold to above concepts, Angular Momentum hold the key now. Grasp this concept as it is one of the most important one for JEE. Numerous questions have been asked and at least one question from here every year is a surety.
5) Now that the base for the chapter is made, Combined Transactional and Rotational Motion will take your troll.
Pure Rolling forms the most important part in this. One question from this part is again 99% sure.
6) Study the theory from Resnick Halliday while do questions from HC Verma.
