A block M hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to fixed rigid support at O. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse 1) of wavelength λ0 is produced at point O on the rope. The pulse takes time TOA to reach point A. If the wave pulse of wavelength λ0 is produced at point A (Pulse 2) without disturbing the position of M it takes time TAO to reach point O. which of the following options is/are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The velocity of the transverse wave is given by
v=μT ..... (i)
Where T is the tension in the rope and is given by
T = Mg + μyg
Where y = distance of point P on the rope from its bottom
L = total length of the rope
Put the value of T in eqn. (i), we get
v=μMg+μyg ...... (ii)
Also, speed of pulse 1 and pulse 2 are same at each point because speed is a characteristic of the medium. Hence, speed of the two pulses are same at the mid point (x = l/2). However, since pulse 1 is moving in +x direction and pulse 2 is moving in −x direction, their velocities (which is a vector quantity) at the mid point are not same.
So, option (b) is incorrect.
Since both the pulse travel in the same medium and velocity is medium dependent. The velocity of any pulse along the rope depends on tension in the rope and linear mass density so it is independent of its frequency(characteristic of the source of pulse generation) and wavelength.
So, option (d) is correct.
Also, v = νλ or λ∝ v
(∵ frequency of a wave depends on the source)
For pulse 1, the velocity decreases at point A as tension decreases. So the wavelength of pulse 1 becomes shorter when it reaches point A.
So, option (c) is incorrect.
From eqn. (ii), the velocity is given as
v=μMg+μyg or dtdy=μMg+μyg⇒dt=μMg+μygdy
Integrating both sides,
0∫Tdt=0∫LμMg+ygdy; ∴T=g2(μMg+Lg−μMg)
Where T is time taken by pulse to travel distance L.
Since T depends upon g, M, L and μ which are constant.
∴ Time taken by pulse 1 to reach point A and time taken by pulse 2 to reach point O is same.
∴ TAO = TOA; So option (a) is correct.

A monochromatic light is travelling in a medium of refractive index n=1.6. It enters a stack of glass layers from the bottom side at an angle θ=30∘. The interfaces of the glass layers are parallel to each other. The refractive indices of different glass layers are monotonically decreasing as nm=n−mΔn, where nm is the refractive index of the mth slab and Δn=0.1 (see the figure). The ray is refracted out parallel to the interface between the (m−1)th and mth slabs from the right side of the stack. What is the value of m?
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 8
Official Correct Answer:8
Step-by-Step Solution:
Applying Snell's law, we have nsinθ = (n − mΔn)sin90∘ it is given that n = 1.6, θ = 30∘, Δn = 0.1. The above equation becomes
1.6sin30 = [1.6 − m(0.1)]sin90
1.6 ×21 = (1.6 − 0.1m) × 1
0.8 = (1.6 − 0.1m)
0.1m = 1.6 − 0.8
0.1m = 0.8
m = 8

Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given V = V0 sin ωt
At resonant frequency, current and voltage will be in same phase i.e., ωL=ωC1
∴ Resonant frequency ω=LC1 ...... (i)
Here, L = 1 μH = 10−6 H, C = 10−6 F
∴ω=10−121=106 rad s−1
So, option (a) is incorrect.
Since, XC=ωC1,XL=ωL ....... (ii)
For large ω, XC∼ 0, so circuit will behave like a inductive circuit.
So, option (d) is incorrect.
From Eqn. (i)
ω=LC1
At resonant frequency or the frequency at which the current will be in phase with the voltage is independent of R.
∴ option (b) is correct.
From Eqn. (ii), at ω∼ 0, XC∼∞ and XL = 0
∴ The current flowing through the circuit becomes nearly zero.
So, option (c) is correct.

For an isosceles prism of angle A and refractive index μ, it is found that the angle of minimum deviation δm=A.
Which of the following options is/are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
We discuss the options as follows:
∙ For option (A) : For the angle of incidence i1 = A, we have minimum deviation and the ray inside the prism is parallel to the base of the prism.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
∙ For option (C) : The angle of deviation is given as
δ = i1 + i2− A
At minimum deviation, i1 = i2 and r1 = r2. Therefore,
i1 = A ....... (1)
Also, we know that
r1 + r2 = A
As r1 = r2, we get
2r1 = A ⇒ r1 = 2A
From Eq. (1), we get
r1=2i1
Hence, option (C) is correct.
According to Snell's law, we have
sinr2sini2=μ
For emergent ray to be tangential to the surface, we have
i2 = 90∘
⇒ sin90∘ = μsinr2⇒μsinr2 = 1
sinr2 = μ1⇒ r2 = sin−1(μ1) ....... (2)
From the relation r1 + r2 = A, we get
r1 = A − r2
⇒ sinr1 = sin(A − r2)
Using sin(a − b) = sinacosb − sinbcosa, we have
⇒ sinr1 = sinAcosr2− sinr2cosA ......... (3)
Using Eq. (2), we have
sinr2 = μ1
Squaring it, we get
sin2r2 = μ21
Using the relation sin2x + cos2x = 1, we get
sin2x = 1 − cos2x
⇒ 1 − cos2 r2 = μ21
⇒ cos2 r2 = 1 −μ21
That is,
cosr2 = 1−μ21
Substituting the values of sinr2 and cosr2 in Eq. (3), we get
sinr1 = sin A1−μ21−μ1cos A
According to Snell's law, we have
sinr1sini1=μ
That is,
sini1=μsinr1=μ(sinA1−μ21−μ1cosA)
sini1=μ(sinAμμ2−1−μcosA)
sini1=sinAμ2−1−cosA ....... (4)
Now, at minimum deviation, we have A = i1 and r1 = 2A. Thus, from Snell's law, we get
μ=sinr1sini1=sin(A/2)sinA
Using sinx=2sin2xcos2x, we get
μ=sinA/22sinA/2cosA/2⇒μ=2cos2A ....... (5)
Now, Eq. (4) becomes
sini1=sinA(2cos2A)2−1−cosA
=sinA4cos22A−1−cosA
i1=sin−1[sinA4cos22A−1−cosA]
Hence, option (D) is correct.
∙ For option (B) : From Eq. (5), we have
μ=2cos2A
cos2A=2μ
⇒2A=cos−1(2μ)
⇒A=2cos−1(2μ)
Hence, option (B) is incorrect.

A block of mass M has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block resets on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at x=0, in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass m is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down.
When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is x and the velocity is v. At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
We discuss the options as follows:
∙ For option (B) : From law of conservation of momentum, we have
mv = MV ...... (1)
where v is the velocity of point mass m and V is velocity of block of mass M.
Now, by using law of conservation of energy, after the point mass is released, we have the following:
Loss in P.E. of mass m = Gain in K.E. of both mass M and the mass m.
⇒mgh=21mv2+21MV2
Substituting V=Mmu [from Eq. (1)], we get
mgh=21mv2+21M(Mmv)2
mgh=21mv2+21MM2m2v2
mgR=21mv2+21Mm2v2
mgR=21mv2(1+Mm)
gR=21v2(1+Mm)
Rearranging this equation, we get
2gR=v2(1+Mm)
v2=(1+Mm)2gR
⇒v=(1+Mm)2gR
Hence, option (B) is correct.
∙ For option (C) : Now, from Eq. (1), we have
V=Mmv=Mm(1+Mm)2gR
V=M2(1+Mm)m22gR=M2(MM+m)m22gR
V=M(m+M)m22gR⇒V=mM(m+M)2gR
Since, there is no external force acting on the system, the centre of mass does not change.
Now, if the change in position of mass m is Δx and the change in position of mass M is ΔX, then
mΔx + MΔx = 0 (since centre of mass will not change)
Now, we know that the change in position of point mass m is
Δx = R − x
and the change in position of block of mass M is
ΔX = −x
Therefore,
m(R − x) − Mx = 0
m(R − x) = Mx
mR − mx = Mx
mR = Mx + mx
mR = (M + m)x
⇒ x = M+mmR
The change in position of block of mass M is
Δx = −x = M+m−mR
Thus, x-component of the displacement of the centre of mass of the block is
M=M+m−mR
Hence, option (C) is also correct.

A circular insulated copper wire loop is twisted to form two loops of area A and 2A as shown in the figure. At the point of crossing the wires remain electrically insulated from each other. The entire loop lies in the plane (of the paper). A uniform magnetic field B points into the plane of the paper. At t=0, the loop starts rotating about the common diameter as axis with a constant angular velocity ω in the magnetic field.
Which of the following options is/are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Consider the coordinate axes shown in the figure. The magnetic field is into the paper, i.e., B=Bk. Let loop 1 be the loop of area A and loop 2 be the loop of area 2A. At t = 0, both loops are in the plane of the paper. They start rotating about the x-axis with a constant angular velocity ω=ωi. Let the area vectors of loop 1 and 2 be A1 and A2, respectively. At t = 0, A1 = Ak and A2=2Ak (we chose area into the plane of the paper as positive). In time t, the loops rotate by an angle θ = ωt. Their area vectors make an angle θ = ωt with z-axis (direction of the magnetic field). Thus, the magnetic fluxes passing through the loop 1 and the loop 2 at time t are given by
ϕ1 = B.A1 = B A1 cosθ = B A cos ωt,
ϕ2 = B.A2 = B A2 cosθ = 2B A cos ωt.
By Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, induced emfs in the loop 1 and in the loop 2 are given by
ε1=−dtdϕ1=BAωsinωt,
ε2=−dtdϕ2=2BAωsinωt.
The rate of change of flux is maximum when ωt = π/2 i.e., when the plane of the loops is perpendicular to the plane to the paper.
Let T = 2π/ω be the time period to complete one revolution. The fluxes ϕ1 and ϕ2 decrease with time if t ∈ (0, T/4). By Lenz's law, the induced current should oppose reductions in ϕ1 and ϕ2. Thus, induced current in both the loops should be clockwise. Hence, the polarity of 'equivalent batteries' are as shown in the figure. These batteries are connected with reverse polarity. Thus, net emf induced due to both the loop is
ε=ε2−ε1=BAωsinωt.
Note that the net emf ε is proportional to the difference in areas of two loops and ∣ε∣=∣ε1∣.

A stationary source emits sound of frequency f0=492Hz. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of 2ms−1. The reflected signal is received by the source and superposed with the original.
What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in Hz? (Given that the speed of sound in air is 330ms−1 and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 6
Official Correct Answer:6
Step-by-Step Solution:
It is given that the source emits sound of frequency f0 = 492 Hz. The car is approaching the source and the speed of car is v = 2 m/s.
Also, the speed of sound in air, vs = 330 m/s.
The frequency of sound received by car is given as
f1=(VsVs+V)f0=(330330+2)492
Here, f1 = 494.98 Hz, which is the frequency reflected by the car towards the source.
Therefore, now, the car acts as the source. The frequency of sound received by the source is
f2=(Vs−vVs)f1=(330−2330)494.98
Here, f2 = 498 Hz. Therefore, the beat frequency of the resulting signal is
∣f0−f2∣=∣492−498∣=6 Hz

131I is an isotope of Iodine that B decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of 8 days. A small amount of a serum labelled with 131I is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of 131I injected was 2.4×105 Becquerel (Bq). It is known that the injected serum will get distributed uniformly in the blood stream in less than half an hour. After 11.5 hours, 2.5 ml of blood is drawn from person's body, and gives an activity of 115Bq. The total volume of blood in the person's body, in liters is approximately (you may use ex≈1+x for ∣x∣<<1 and ln2≈0.7).
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 5
Official Correct Answer:5
Step-by-Step Solution:
The decay rate is related to half life by λ=t1/2ln2. A sample having N0 radioactive nuclei at time t = 0 will have N=N0e−λt radioactive nuclei at time t. Thus, activity (A = λN) of a sample reduces from its initial value A0 to a value A=A0e−λt at time t.
Let V be the total volume of blood and N be the total number of radioactive nuclei at time t. The nuclei are distributed uniformly in blood. A sample of volume v will have n = (v/V)N radioactive nuclei in it. Thus, activity of this sample is
a=λn=λ(VvN)=Vv(λN)=VvA=VvA0e−λt.
Substitute a = 115 Bq, v = 2.5 ml, A0 = 2.4 × 105 Bq, λ = ln 2/t1/2≈ 0.7/(8 × 24) hr−1 and t = 11.5 hr to get
V=115(2.5)(2.4×105)e−8×240.7×11.5
≈115(2.5)(2.4×105)(1−8×240.7×11.5)
= 4998 ml ≈ 5 litre.

Step-by-Step Solution:
The energy of a hydrogen atom with an electron in nth orbit is given by
En=−n213.6eV.
The potential energy in nth orbit is related to En by Vn = En/2. Thus, potential energies in orbits with quantum numbers ni and nf are given by
Vi=−2ni213.6eV, and Vf=−2nf213.6eV, which gives
VfVi=ni2nf2=6.25 (given).

Official Correct Answer:6
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let a spherical drop of liquid of radius R divides itself into K spherical drops, each of radius r. The density of liquid does not change in this process. Hence, conservation of mass gives
34πR3=34πr3K, i.e., r=RK−1/3. ...... (1)
The surface energy of a drop of radius R is Ui=4πR2S and total surface energy of K drops of radius r is Uf=4πr2KS. Note that the surface energy increases when a bigger drop is divided into multiple smaller drops. Total change in surface energy is
ΔU=Uf−Ui=4πS(Kr2−R2) ...... (2)
Eliminate r from equations (1) and (2) to get
K=(4πSR2ΔU+1)3.
Substitute ΔU = 10−3 J, S = 4π0.1 N/m and R = 10−2 m to get K=(100+1)3≈106.

A human body has a surface area of approximately 1m2. The normal body temperature is 10K above the surrounding room temperature T0. Take the room temperature to be T0=300K. For T0=300K, the value of σT04=460Wm−2 (where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant).
Which of the following options is / are correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The rate of radiation energy emitted by a body of surface area A, emissivity e, and kept at an absolute temperature T is given by Stefan's law
dQe/dt = σeAT4,
where σ is Stefan's constant. If this body is kept at a surrounding temperature T0 then rate of radiation energy absorbed by the body is
dQa/dt = σeAT04.
Thus, the net rate of energy loss by the body is
dQi/dt=dQe/dt−dQa/dt=σeA(T4−T04).
If surrounding temperature is reduced by ΔT0 (<< T0) then net rate of energy lost by the body becomes
dtdQf=σeA[T4−(T0−ΔT0)4]
=σeA[T4−T04(1−T0ΔT0)4]
≈σeA[T4−T04(1−4T0ΔT0)]
=dtdQi+4σeAT03ΔT0.
Thus, decrease in the surrounding temperature increases the rate of energy loss by 4σeAT03ΔT0. To maintain the body temperature, the human being needs to increase the rate of energy generation (through chemical reactions in the body) by 4σeAT03ΔT0 to balance the increase in rate of energy loss.
The human beings can also maintain the body temperature (without increasing the rate of energy generation) by reducing the surface area (e.g., by curling up) of their body. If surrounding temperature is reduced by ΔT0 and surface area of the body is reduced by ΔA (<< A) then net rate of energy loss by the body becomes
dtdQf=4σe(A−ΔA)[T4−(T0−ΔT0)4]
≈dtdQi+4σeAT03ΔT0−σeΔA(T4−ΔT04).
Thus, the rate of energy loss by radiation remains same (dQf/dt=dQi/dt) if reduction in surface area is
ΔA=T4−T044AT03ΔT0≈AΔTΔT0,
where, the body temperature is T=T0+ΔT.
We assume body to be black i.e., e = 1. The amount of energy emitted by the body in one second is
dQe/dt=σeAT4=σeA(T0+ΔT)4
≈σeAT04(1+4ΔT/T0)
=(1)(1)(460)(1+4(10)/300)=521 J.
The amount of energy lost by the body in one second is
dQi/dt=σeA(T4−T04)=σeA(T0+ΔT)4−T04)
≈eAσT04(4ΔT/T0)=61 J.

The speed after collision is u2 + v.
From law of conservation of linear momentum, we have
u2 + v = u − v
That is,
u2 = u − 2v ....... (1)
and
Δu2 = 2u − 2v ....... (2)
∙ At leading face
The speed before collision is u + v.
The speed after collision is u1− v.
From law of conservation of linear momentum, we have
u1− v = u + v
That is,
u1 = u + 2v ..... (3)
and
Δu1 = 2u + 2v ...... (4)
Now, from Newton's second law of motion, we have
F=dtdp
∙ For leading face : F1=dtdp1.
The volume swept by the plate is A(u + v). Therefore,
F1=dtdp1=ρA(u+v)Δu1
F1=ρA(u+v)(2u+2v) ....... (5)
∙ For trailing face : F2=dtdp2
The volume swept by the plate is A(u − v). Therefore,
F2=dtdp2=ρA(u−v)Δu2
F2=ρA(u−v)(2u−2v) ....... (6)
The net force on the plate is
Fnet=F1−F2
=ρA(u+v)(2u+2v)−ρA(u−v)(2u−2v)
=2ρA(u+v)(u+v)−2ρA(u−v)(u−v)
=2ρA(u+v)2−2ρA(u−v)2
=2ρA[(u+v)2−(u−v)2]
=2ρA[u2+v2+2uv−(u2+v2−2uv)]
=2ρA(u2+v2+2uv−u2−v2+2uv)
=2ρA(4uv)
=8ρAuv
Therefore, the pressure difference is
AFnet=A8ρAuv=8ρuv
Thus, the pressure difference between the leading and trailing faces of the plate is proportional to uv. Hence, option (A) is correct.
Now,
Fnet=8ρAuv
The net resistive force is
F−(8ρAu)v=dtmdv
where F is the constant force applied by the gas molecules on the plate.
The resistive force experienced by the plate is proportional to v.
Hence, option (B) is also correct.
At a later time, the velocity v becomes sufficient and the external force F(=8ρAuv) balances the resistive force.
Hence, option (D) is also correct.

B

C
(III)(iii)(P)
D
(II)(iii)(S)
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
F = qE + q(v×B) ....... (1)
For a particle to move in a straight line with constant velocity, F = 0. Therefore, from Eq. (1), we get
qE+q(V×B)=0
⇒qE−q(v×B)
⇒E=−(v×B)
For v=B0E0y and B=B0z, we get
v×B=(BE0y)×(B0z)=B0E0×B0(y×z)
Therefore,
v×B=E0x (as y × z = x)
and
E=−E0x
Therefore,
v=B0E0y; E=−E0x; B=B0z
Hence, option (D) is correct.

Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The IUPAC name of the compound:
1. When two or more substituents such as alkane, halogen, nitro groups, etc., are attached to the aromatic ring (e.g., benzene), these substituents are named in the alphabetical order with substituents of lowest alphabet named first followed by the other.
2. These substituents are numbered in a way with lowest number given to substituent whose name starts with the alphabet that appear first in the series. The direction of numbering is chosen such that next substituent gets the lowest number.
3. After the numbering is complete, the substituents are numbered in alphabetical order.
Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is 1-Chloro-4-methylbenzene.
4. If a substituent attached to benzene ring together has a common name that has been accepted as an IUPAC name, the compound is called by that common name with other group attached to it as its substituent.
Hence, methyl attached to benzene is commonly called toluene and chlorine is substituent at the fourth position.
The compound is named as 4-chlorotoluene.

Here XL and XM represent mole fractions of L and M, respectively, in the solution. The correct statement(s) applicable to this system is (are)
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The vapour pressure plot for liquid L(PL) versus mole fraction of M(xm) is represented as :
(i) Point A on plot represents vapour pressure due to pure L (its mole fraction being 1) and point B represents vapour pressure due to pure M. Point Z represents vapour pressure due to pure liquid M as mole fraction of liquid M becomes maximum.
(ii) The dotted line represents increase in the vapour of the pure liquid M with increase in its concentration. Here, pure liquid M follows Raoult's law.
(iii) The red coloured curve on above the dotted line shows positive deviation shown by liquid M from the Raoult's law.
(a) Since mole fraction of pure liquid M is max (xm=1) at point Z; hence, this point represents vapour pressure due to pure liquid M. There is no curve corresponding to pure liquid component L; hence, whether liquid L obey' Raoult's law or not cannot be predicted.
Option (A) is incorrect.
(b) Since mole fraction of liquid L is maximum at point B, which also corresponds to the maximum vapour pressure at point Z; hence, point Z represents the vapour pressure of pure liquid L.
Option (B) is correct.
(c) At point Z, the molefraction of liquid component L and M lies above the vapour pressure curve for pure L (The dotted line). Therefore, the mixture obeys positive deviation from the Raoult's law. This means intermolecular force of attraction are lower between M and L; then that between M-M and L-L.
Option (D) is correct.

Halogens exist as diatomic molecule of different colours:
S.No. 1.2.3.4. Halogen Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine Colour Pale yellow Yellow green Red brown Purple
(i) The molecular orbital energy level diagram explains the appearance of colour by halogens. The MOT for halogens is represented.
(ii) It represents molecular orbital energy level diagram for fluorine. Similar molecular energy level diagram exist. Other halogens.
(iii) Antibonding π orbitals, i.e., π∗2px and π∗2py forms the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and antibonding sigma* orbitals forms the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) for halogens.
(iv) Absorption of energy of suitable wavelength (or colour) results in transition of electron from HOMO to LUMO. As electron returns back to ground state, i.e, HOMO, it releases energy corresponding to a different wavelength (colour complementary to the colour absorbed). This gives halogens their characteristic colour.
(v) As we move down the group 17, size of halogen atom increases and nuclear force of attraction for the outermost shell electrons decrease. This affects the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO.
F2>Cl2>Br2>I2
HOMO-LUMO energy gap decreases →
Wavelength of light emitted decreases →
(vi) The energy gap between HOMO and LUMO keeps on decreasing as we move down the group. As a result, the energy required for transition of electron from HOMO to LUMO decreases and less energy (or light of lower wavelength is absorbed).
(vii)When electron moves back to HOMO, energy is emitted. It corresponds to the light of complementary colour to the colour of the light absorbed.

In aqueous solution, complex Y behaves as 1:3 electrolyte. The reaction of X with excess HCl at room temperature results in the formation of a blue colored complex Z. The calculated spin only magnetic moment of X and Z is 3.87B.M., whereas it is zero for complex Y. Among the following options, which statement(s) is (are) correct?

The pink coloured aqueous solution of MCl2⋅6H2O has central metal atom bonded six water molecule by co-ordinate bonds and there are two primary valences of chloride ions. The formula and structure of the complex X can be represented as :
Formula : [M(H2O)6]Cl2
[M(H2O)6]Cl2→[M(H2O)]2++2Cl−
Here, the six non ionisable water molecules are the secondary valence and two ionisable chloride ions are primary valence. Since, the hexa coordinated aqua complex of cobalt is pink in colour; hence, central metal is cobalt.
(i) Reaction of the complex X with
ammonium chloride in presence of air gives
hexamminecobalt (III) chloride which is a 1: 3
electrolyte.
Option (B) : NH3 is a strong field ligand, therefore, pairing of electrons will take place.
Option (C) :
Option (D) : When X and Z are in equilibrium at 0°C

Since, formation of chlorine complex takes place in presence of excess chlorine at room temperature (25∘C). At lower temperature (0∘C), the equilibrium is more shifted towards left favouring the formation of pink coloured hexaaquacobalt (II) chloride complex.
Option (D) is correct.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Given:
(i) Edge length of face centred cubic (FCC) unit cell (a) =400pm
(ii) Density of the substance (ρ)=8gcm−3
(iii) Mass of the crystal (m)=256g
To Find: The value of N in N×1024
Formula: Density of the cell (ρ)
= Volume of unit cell × No. of atoms of pure substance in mass m Mass of crystal (M)× No. of atoms in unit cell
Calculations: A face-centred cubic (F.C.C.) lattice has atoms of pure substance at the corner of the unit cell and/or atom each at the centre of the face of the unit cell.
Since there are eight atoms at the corners and one atom at each of the six faces (i.e., six atoms in total):

Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Option (A): Correct. The structures of the ions formed are shown in below figure. All these structures are based on a tetrahedron. The sp3 hybrid orbitals used for bonding form only weak σ bonds, because the s and p levels differ appreciably in energy. The ions are stabilised by strong pπ−dπ bonding between full 2p orbitals on oxygen with empty d orbitals on the halogen atoms.
Option (B): HClO4 is an extremely strong acid, while HOCl is a very weak acid. Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. The more oxygen atoms that are bonded, the more the electrons will be pulled away from the O−H bond, and the more this bond will be weakened. Thus HClO4 requires the least energy to break the O−H bond and form H+.
Option (C): The reaction is Cl2+H2O⇌HOCl+HCl
Option (D): AsHClO4 is a stronger acid than H2O, therefore, its conjugate base (ClO4−)will be weaker than (OH−)that of H2O.

Now, for a = 2, m=2−3(a2m2+1−a2m,a2m2+11) gives (3,21) as the point of contact.
Thus, the correct combination is (II) (iv) (R); hence, option (B) is correct.

If a chord, which is not a tangent, of the parabola y2 = 16x has the equation 2x + y = p, and mid-point (h, k), then which of the following is(are) possible value(s) of p, h and k?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given : The equation of parabola is y2 = 16x
Equation chord is
2x + y = p ..... (1)
Equation of chord with middle point (h, k) is given as
ky−16(2x+h)=k2−16h
⇒ky−8(x+h)=k2−16h
⇒ky−8x−8h=k2−16h
⇒ky−8x−8h−k2+16h=0
⇒−8x+ky+8h−k2=0
⇒8x−ky=8h−k2 ..... (2)
Comparing above equation with equation of chord, we get
2x+y=p
Dividing Eq. (2) by 4, we get
48x−4ky=48h−4k2
2x−4ky=2h−4k2
On comparing, we get
⇒4−k=1 and p=2h−4k2
⇒k=−4 and p=2h−4(−4)2=2h−4
⇒p=2h−4⇒2h−p=4
Only p = 2 and h = 3 satisfies this equation. Therefore, p = 2, h = 3 and k = −4.

A
(I) (ii) Q)
B
(I) (ii) (P)
C
(III) (i) (P)
D
(II) (ii) (Q)
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
∙ For the given equation a=2 and point (−1, 1), x2 + y2 = a2 satisfies these conditions (i.e. I of Column 1)
∙ Thus, equation of tangent is −x+y=2⇒y=x+2; thus (ii) of Column 2 satisfies this condition with m = 1. That is, y=mx+am2+1
∙ It is given that point of constant (−1, 1) given m = 1 and a=2 Q; of Columns 3 : (m2+1−ma,m2+1a) gives point of contact (−1, 1).
Thus, correct combination is (I) (II) (Q); thus, option (A) is correct.

For how many values of p, the circle x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y − p = 0 and the coordinate axes have exactly three common points?
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
We will consider three cases
Case 1 : Circle passes through origin, that is, p = 0 the equation of circle becomes
x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y = 0
x = 0 ⇒ y2 + 4y = 0 ⇒ y(y + 4) = 0
y = 0, −4
y = 0 ⇒ x2 + 2x = 0 ⇒ x(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, − 2
Case 2 : Circle touches y axis then circle will intersect x axis at two distinct points
Put y = 0 in equation of circle, we get
x2 + 2x − p = 0
Now from g2− c > 0 and f2− c = 0
⇒ 12− (−p) > 0 and 22− (−p) = 0
1 + p > 0 and 4 + p = 0
p > −1 and p = − 4
which is a contradiction. Also, for p = −4 we get
x2− 2x + 4 = 0
x=22±4−4×4=22±23i=1±3i
They are imaginary roots.
Therefore, Case 2 is not possible.
Case 3 : Circle touches x axis. Then the circle will intersect y axis at two distinct points.
Substituting x = 0, we get
y2 + 4y − p = 0
Now, from g2− C = 0 and f2− C > 0, we have
12− (−p) = 0 and 22 = (−p) > 0
p = −1 and 4 + p > 0 ⇒ p > −4
Therefore, the equation of circle becomes
y2 + 4y + 1 = 0
⇒y=2−4±16−4=2−4±12
y=2−4±4×3
=2−4±23=−2±3 real values
Thus, Case 3 is possible.
Thus, for p = 0 and p = −1 the circle and coordinates have exactly three points in common. Hence, the correct answer is 2.

The sides of a right angled triangle are in arithmetic progression. If the triangle has area 24, then what is the length of its smallest side?
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 6
Official Correct Answer:6
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let the sides be given by a − d, a, a + d, where (a, d > 0). Also, d < a.
By the condition,
a2 + (a − d)2 = (a + d)2
⇒ a2 = (a + d)2− (a − d)2
⇒ a2 = 4ad ∴ a = 4d
Thus the sides are 3d, 4d, 5d.
As area = 24, we have 21 . 3d . 4d = 24
∴ d = 2
The sides are 6, 8, 10./p>

Let a, b, x and y be real numbers such that a − b = 1 and y = 0. If the complex number z = x + iy satisfies Im(z+1az+b)=y, then which of the following is(are) possible value(s) of x?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
It is given that z=x+iy satisfies Im(z+1az+b)=y.
Therefore,
Im((x+iy)+1a(x+iy)+b)=y
⇒Im(x+iy+1ax+iay+b)=y
Rationalizing the above equation and multiplying and dividing LHS by (x + 1 − iy), we get
⇒(x+1)2+y2ay−by=y (as imaginary value in bracket is coefficient of i)
⇒y(a−b)=y((x+1)2+y2)⇒(a−b)=(x+1)2+y2
It is given that a − b = 1 and y = 0
⇒1=(x+1)2+y2
⇒1−y2=(x+1)2⇒(x+1)=±1−y2 (as x2=b⇒x=±6)
⇒1=−1±1−y2
or, x=−1+1−y2 and x=−1−1−y2

Step-by-Step Solution:
Line y = mx + C is tangent to hyperbola a2x2−b2y2=1 if following condition is satisfied:
C2=a2m2−b2 ..... (1)
Given : The equation of line = 2x−y+1=0
Hyperbola = a2x2−162y2=1
Consider equation 2x−y+1=0
⇒y=2x+1⇒m=2 and C = 1
From equation of hyperbola, we get b2 = 16 and a2
Substituting all values in Eq. (1), we get
12=a2(2)2−16
1=4a2−16⇒4a2=16+1⇒4a2=17
⇒a2=417⇒a=417=217
Therefore, a=217
