A person in a lift is holding a water jar, which has a small hole at the lower end of its side. When the lift is
at rest, the water jet coming out of the hole hits the floor of the lift at a distance d of 1.2 m from the person.
In the following, state of the lift’s motion is given in List I and the distance where the water jet hits the
floor of the lift is given in List II. Match the statements from List I with those in List II and select the
correct answer using the options given below the lists.
List - I
List - II
P. Lift is accelerating vertically up.
1. d=1.2 m
Q. Lift is accelerating vertically down with an acceleration less than the gravitational acceleration.
2. d > 1.02 m
R. Lift is moving vertically up with constant speed.
3. d < 1.2 m
S. Lift is falling freely.
4. No water leaks out of the jar
A
P - 2, Q - 3, R - 2, S - 4
B
P - 2, Q - 3, R - 1, S - 4
C
P - 1, Q - 1, R - 1, S - 4
D
P - 2, Q - 3, R - 1, S - 1
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The velocity of the efflux depends on the hydrostatic pressure difference and its given by
v=2geffH.
After comin gout the jar, water follows the projectile motion. Time taken in traversing a vertical distance h is
t=2h/geff.
The horizontal distance covered in this time is
d=vt=2geffH2h/geff=2Hh,
which is independent of geff. In the case of free fall, hydrostatic pressure difference is zero (geff = 0) and hence the water does not come out.

If λCu is the wavelength of Kα X-ray line of copper (atomic number 29) and λMo is the wavelength of the Kα X-ray line of molybdenum (atomic number 42), then the ratio λCu/λMo is close to
A
1.99
B
2.14
C
0.50
D
0.48
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The wavelength of the Kα X-ray line is related to the atomic number of the element by Moseley's law, which can be expressed as:
ν=A(Z−B)
Here, ν is the frequency of the emitted X-ray, Z is the atomic number, and A and B are constants. Given that the wavelength λ is inversely proportional to the frequency ν (since ν=λc, where c is the speed of light), we can rewrite this equation in terms of wavelength:
λ∝(Z−B)21
Now, let's consider the ratio of the wavelengths for copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo):
λMoλCu=(ZCu−BZMo−B)2
For the Kα X-ray line, the constant B can be approximated as 1. Using the atomic numbers ZCu=29 and ZMo=42, we can plug these values into the ratio:
λMoλCu=(29−142−1)2=(2841)2
Calculating the above expression:
2841≈1.464
(1.464)2≈2.14
Therefore, the ratio λMoλCu is close to 2.14. The correct option is:
Option B 2.14

Read the passage carefully:
The figure shows a circular loop of radius a with two long parallel wires (numbered 1 and 2) all in the plane of the paper. The distance of each wire from the centre of the loop is d. The loop and the wires are carrying the same current I. The current in the loop is in the counter clockwise direction if seen from above.
When d ≈ a but wires are not touching the loop, it is found that the net magnetic field on the axis of the loop is zero at a height h above the loop. In that case
A
current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and RS, respectively, and h ≈ a.
B
current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and SR, respectively, and h ≈ a.
C
current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and SR, respectively, and h ≈ 1.2a.
D
current in wire 1 and wire 2 is the direction PQ and RS, respectively, and h ≈ 1.2a.
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
BR = B due to ring
B1 = B due to wire-1
B2 = B due to wire-2
In magnitudes
B1=B2=2πrμ0I
Resultant of B1 and B2
=2B1cosθ=2(2πrμ0I)(rh)
=πr2μ0Ih
BR=2(R2+x2)3/2μ0IR2
=4πr32μ0Iπa2
As, R = a, x = h and a2 + h2 = r2
For zero magnetic field at P,
πr2μ0Ih=4πr32μ0Iπa2
⇒πa2=2rh⇒h≈1.2a

A tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface. It bounces back to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy K with time t most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to the scale.
A
B
C
D
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
As tennis ball is dropped, so its initial velocity, u = 0
Suppose its velocity at any time t = v
Acceleration due to gravity = g
∴ v = u + gt
⇒ v = gt ..... (i)
We know, kinetic energy,
K=21mv2=21m(g2t2) [Using eqn. (i)]
⇒K=21mg2t2
⇒K∝t2 (As m and g are constant)
This shows that relation between kinetic energy of tennis ball K and time t is parabolic.
During the collision, velocity of the ball falls sharply to zero as it is compressed and regains maximum velocity in the same short time interval.
This relation is best illustrated by the option (b).

Read the passage carefully:
In the figure a container is shown to have a movable (without friction) piston on top. The container and the piston are all made of perfectly insulating material allowing no heat transfer between outside and inside the container. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow transfer of heat. The lower compartment of the container is filled with 2 moles of an ideal monatomic gas at 700 K and the upper compartment is filled with 2 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at 400 K. The heat capacities per mole of an ideal monatomic gas are Cv=23R, Cp=25R, and those for an ideal diatomic gas are Cv=25R, Cp=27R.
Now consider the partition to be free to move without friction so that the pressure of gases in both compartments is the same. Then total work done by the gases till the time they achieve equilibrium will be
A
250 R
B
200 R
C
100 R
D
−100 R
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Heat lost by monoatomic gas = Heat gained by diatomic gas
2×25R×(700−T)=2×25R(T−400)
3500−5T=7T−2800
12T=6300 or, T=525K
Work done by monoatomic gas:
=n1RΔT (∵ PV = nRT)
=2×R×(700−525) (ΔT is negative)
=−350R
Work done by diatomic gas =n2RΔT
=2R(525−400)=250R. (There is gain in temperature)
The net work done = −350 + 250 = −100R and ΔT is positive.

For λ = 248 nm, v = u1
∴K1=21mu12=248hc−ϕ ...... (ii)
For λ = 310 nm, v = u2
∴K2=21mu22=310hc−ϕ ....... (iii)
Divide eqn. (ii) by eqn. (iii),

During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shall a null point when the jockey is pressed at 40.0 cm using a standard resistance of 90Ω, as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the meter bridge is 1 mm. The unknown resistance is
A
60 ± 0.15 Ω
B
135 ± 0.56 Ω
C
60 ± 0.25 Ω
D
135 ± 0.23 Ω
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
when a metre bridge is balanced, then
xR1=(100−x)R2 ..... (i)
From figure,
R1 = R, R2 = 90 Ω, x = 40 cm
Then, 40R=(100−40)90=6090
⇒ R = 60 Ω
Now, for ΔR taking natural log on both sides of eqn. (i),
lnR1=lnR2+lnx−ln(100−x)
or, lnR=lnx−ln(100−x)+ln(90)
On differentiating,
RΔR=xΔx−(100−x)Δ(100−x)
⇒RΔR=xΔx+(100−x)Δx
⇒ΔR=(400.1+600.1)×60=1200.5×60=0.25Ω
∴ Required value of R = (60 ± 0.25) Ω

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the below figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is
A
always radially outwards.
B
always radially inwards.
C
radially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
D
radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let v be speed of the bead when it makes an angle θ with the vertical direction.
The forces acting on the bead are its weight mg and normal reaction N. Since all the forces acting on the bead are conservative, the mechanical energy of the bead is conserved i.e.,
mgr(1−cosθ)=21mv2 ..... (1)
The radially inward components of force provide centripetal acceleration to the bead i.e.,
mgcosθ−N=mv2/r ...... (2)
Eliminate v2 from equations (1) and (2) to get
N=mg(3cosθ−2) ...... (3)
When 3cosθ > 2, direction of N will be same as shown in figure, i.e., radially outward.
When 3cosθ < 2, direction of N will be radially inward. Now, normal on the bead is opposite to the force applied on the wire by the bead, following Newton's third law. Therefore, the force applied on the bead by the wire is radially inwards initially and radially outwards later, as it moves from A to B.

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The forces on the block of mass m1 are its weight m1g, normal reaction from the inclined plane N1, and the reaction from the second block R.
Similarly, forces on the block of mass m2 are m2g, N2, R, and the frictional force f. If θ is slowly increased, f starts increasing and attains its maximum value f = μN2 at θ = θr (angle of repose). The blocks are stationary if θ≤θr otherwise they are moving. Consider the limiting case, θ = θr, when the blocks are at rest and
f=μN2 ...... (1)
Apply Newton's second law to m1,
R=m1gsinθ ....... (2)
N1=R=m2gcosθ ....... (3)
and to m2,
f=R+m2gsinθ ...... (4)
N2=m1gcosθ ...... (5)
Eliminate R, N2 and f from equations (1)-(5) to get
θr=tan−1(m1+m2μm2)=tan−1(1+20.3×2)
=tan−1(0.2)=11.5∘
Thus, for θ = 5∘ and θ = 10∘, blocks are at rest with frictional force
f=R+m2gsinθ=(m1+m2)gsinθ
For θ = 15∘ and θ = 20∘, blocks are moving with frictional force
f=μN2=μm2gcosθ, (limiting value).

Step-by-Step Solution:
For [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Cl,
For [Ti(H2O)5Cl](NO3)2,
The complex is paramagnetic due to presence of unpaired electron.
Since the groups between the complex ion and ions outside can be exchanged, it shows ionisation isomerism.
For [Pt(en)(NH3)Cl]NO3,
The complex is square planar and all electrons are paired. So it is diamagnetic. Since the groups between the complex ion and ions outside can be exchanged, it shows ionisation isomerism.

For the process

at T = 100oC and 1 atmosphere pressure, the correct choice is
A
ΔSsystem > 0 and ΔSsurroundings > 0
B
ΔSsystem > 0 and ΔSsurroundings < 0
C
ΔSsystem < 0 and ΔSsurroundings > 0
D
ΔSsystem < 0 and ΔSsurroundings < 0
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To analyze the options provided, let's discuss the changes in entropy for the system and the surroundings separately during the phase change from liquid water (H2O(l)) to water vapor (H2O(g)) at 100°C and 1 atmosphere pressure. This is a typical boiling process.
First, let's consider the change in entropy, ΔSsystem, of the water itself (the system). When water boils and changes from a liquid to a gas, the molecules spread out significantly, occupying a larger volume and showing greater randomness in their motion. This transition from a more ordered phase (liquid) to a less ordered phase (gas) results in an increase in entropy. Thus, ΔSsystem>0.
Next, let's consider the change in entropy of the surroundings, ΔSsurroundings. When the water boils at 100°C, it must absorb heat to do so. This heat is typically taken from the surroundings. As the surroundings lose heat, according to the formula for entropy change ΔS=Tq, where q is the heat transferred and T is the temperature, the surroundings lose entropy if the process is happening at a constant temperature as typically assumed in such cases. Therefore, here ΔSsurroundings<0 as heat loss by surroundings (negative q) results in a decrease in entropy.
Combining these insights, we find:
The entropy of the system increases (ΔSsystem>0).
The entropy of the surroundings decreases (ΔSsurroundings<0).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option B: ΔSsystem>0 and ΔSsurroundings<0.

For the elementary reaction M→N, the rate of disappearance of M increases by a factor of 8 upon
doubling the concentration of M. The order of the reaction with respect to M is
A
4
B
3
C
2
D
1
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The rate law for an elementary reaction where the concentration of reactant M impacts the rate of the reaction is expressed as:
Rate=k[M]n
where k is the rate constant, M is the concentration of the reactant, and n is the order of the reaction with respect to M.
In the scenario described, when the concentration of M is doubled, the rate of disappearance of M increases by a factor of 8. Let’s denote the initial concentration of M by [M] and the doubled concentration by 2[M]. According to the rate law, the initial rate would be:
Rate1=k[M]n
Upon doubling M:
Rate2=k(2[M])n=k2n[M]n
It is given that this rate is 8 times the initial rate:
Rate2=8×Rate1
k2n[M]n=8k[M]n
Cancelling out the common terms and simplifying the equation, we have:
2n=8
To find n, solve for n in:
2n=23
Hence, n = 3, indicating that the order of the reaction with respect to M is 3. The correct option is therefore:
Option B: 3

(R) We know the equation of normal of ellipse a2x2+b2y2=1 at (x1,y1) is x1a2x−y1b2y=a2−b2.
∴ Equation of Normal of ellipse 6x2+3y2=1 at p(h,1) is h6x−13y=1
Given, the normal at p(h,1) is perpendicular to the line x+y=3
⇒3h6×(−1)=−1
⇒h2=1
⇒h=2
Hence, R match with 2.
(S) tan−1(2x+11)+tan−1(4x+11)=tan−1x22⇒tan−1(1−2x+11×4x+112x+11+4x+11)=tan−1(x22)⇒tan−1(8x2+6x+1−16x+2)=tan−1(x22)⇒tan−1(4x2+3x3x+1)=tan−1(x22)
So, x=3 is the only positive solution of given equation.
