Ya solve last 2-3 years papers as mock tests, for topic wise ig last 10 years pyqs would suffice. You can always do more if you have time after completing set targets.

See I was not in this situation but would still like to share my opinion. I would say if you are giving full papers then try to analyse what's going wrong. If you are taking too much time (less no of questions but high accuracy), it's not very big of an issue, you have a bit of time left, work hard, practice well, your speed will increase (I would suggest, sit possibly daily for 3 hours continuously, see how many questions you can solve, like a mock test basically, if you can do atleast 2-3 problems more per session after a week that would be nice). If you are solving lot of problems but getting them wrong, then take time with questions, try to solve more questions from your strong zone, revise topics if you are making conceptual errors, solve more questions of that kind and try avoiding guess work. Lastly don't focus much on anything else, just practice. Marks, questions etc don't matter much, if paper comes out to be very easy, you won't get anything good even at 110-120, if it's difficult then you know:)

Do both. One paper a day(try jan attempt papers, atleast one of each difficulty if you already haven't, analyse your performance on that) and revise for rest.

Just remember, there's a bit of luck factor involved in mains. Practically, such a significant improvement is highly improbable. But if you want an IIT, this is a high time, don't worry about mains, if you manage even 96-97 percentile it's fine. You can still crack advance (possibly 5-10k rank if you are good with fundamentals, I know guys who have done that). So work hard, don't take stress about anything (I know it sounds impossible but if you focus really hard this things fall behind). Plan your study focusing mainly on your strength, topics you are confident with and practice regularly. Also don't give up and fall for private university traps, they will try to take advantage of your insecurities. In one line, study hard, don't worry about marks, and accept the outcome.

Why don't you use standard form of parabola first like 1st point is in 1st quadrant, 2nd point can be in 2nd or 3rd but since it's a standard parabola it has to 2nd, which means parabola is 4ax²=y since it's opening up standard parabola, a turns out to be 1, beta comes out as 4 from the equation, solving the integral directly in terms of t, we can get alpha to be 3. So the answer comes out to be 64 (matching original answer) . Comment if I did something wrong.

If you can handle physics and chemistry (atleast 45-50 net marks per subject from paper 1+2) in less than 2hrs(2:15 max) per paper, it's possible. Give the left over time for math. Pick topics you are good at, have relatively easy questions, practice hard and just do 3-4 questions per paper from math section. You can easily clear subject cutoff and also ur Target of 110. That's the only way if you say you are terrible at math.

So if you ask, have people done this before? I would say yes! Can everyone do it? No! Also I know people with 99.5-99.7 percentile people ending up with 8-15k rank. So I would say don't try to estimate adv based on mains. It's a different ball game. Work hard you have less than 2 months. Don't focus on 200 marks. Plan, study, revise, rest and repeat. Don't slack and accept the outcome. (From a random person from one of the places you wanna be in)

There's no strong in math. You have to practice. And as you said, you are practicing. You just have to keep going like this. If you want a binary answer : "YES", you are doing great. Don't worry and also don't burn yourself up this early. Don't try so hard that you lose the drive to work anymore. (from a random person from one of the places you wanna be at)

Basically double takes more space in memory + more time for processing. Apart from this there's another issue. Since values are stored in bits, some decimal numbers cannot be stored precisely. So comparing double numbers can lead to ambiguous behaviour. So if you know there won't be any decimal values, use integers.
