A special metal S conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of S, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius a, with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment m is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance r (>> a) from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole m, at a point on its axis at distance r, is 2πμ0r3m, where μ0 is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, m1 and m2, separated by a distance r on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is r4km1m2, where k is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.
When the dipole m is placed at a distance r from the center of the loop (as shown in the figure), the current induced in the loop will be proportional to
A
m/r3
B
m2/r2

Two concentric circular loops, one of radius R and the other of radius 2R, lie in the xy-plane with the origin as their common center, as shown in the figure. The smaller loop carries current I1 in the anti-clockwise direction and the larger loop carries current I2 in the clockwise direction, with I2 > 2I1. B(x, y) denotes the magnetic field at a point (x, y) in the xy-plane. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
(a) Magnetic field at the plane of the ring is perpendicular to the plane. However, they bend as they move forward.
(b) By symmetry, we can say that B will be same at all the points having the same radial distance. So, B (x, y) will depend on the radial distance r=x2+y2.
(c) (Bnet)centre=2(2R)μ0I2−2Rμ0I1
=4Rμ0(I2−2I1), since I2 > 2I1, so Bnet at the centre will be non-zero in ⊗ direction. But at some other point, Bnet may be zero.
From the graph, it is clear that Bnet = 0 for r∈(0, R).
So, option (c) is incorrect.
(d) For the graph, it is clear that B = − ve
In, ⊗ direction for r ∈ (R to 2R), so option (d) is also incorrect.

For a prism of prism angle θ = 60∘, the refractive indices of the left half and the right half are, respectively, n1 and n2 (n2≥ n1) as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence i is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if n1 = n2 = n = 1.5. For the case of unequal refractive indices, n1 = n and n2 = n + Δn (where Δn << n), the angle of emergence e = i + Δe. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
n1=n2=n=23 for minimum deviation.
rm=2A=260=30∘ and i=e=θ
n=sin(2A)sin(2δmin+A)
⇒23=sin(260)sinθ
⇒sinθ=43⇒cosθ=47
If n1=n=23 and n2=n+Δn
e=θ+Δθ
(1)sinθ=nsin30∘
(n+Δn)sin30∘=(1)sin(θ+Δθ)
Solving 21(Δn)=sin(θ+Δθ)−sinθ
2Δn=Δθsin(θ+Δθ)−sinθ×Δθ
dθd(sinθ)=cosθ
2Δn=(cosθ)(Δθ)⇒2Δn=47(Δθ)
⇒ΔθΔn=27=22.64
ΔθΔn=1.34>1
⇒Δn > Δθ, so option (a) is incorrect.
Δn=(1.34)Δθ
⇒Δθ∝Δn⇒ option (b) is correct.
ΔθΔn=27⇒Δθ2.8×10−3=27
Δθ=75.6×10−3=7×0.8×10−3
Δθ=(2.64×0.8)×10−3=2.11×10−3 rad
So, option (c) is correct.

A source, approaching with speed u towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length L, is emitting a sound of frequency fs. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is v and f0 is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of u and fs, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Natural frequency of closed pipe,
f = (2n + 1)f0
f0 is fundamental frequency
n = 0, 1, 2 .......
Frequency of source received by pipe,
f′=fs[v−uv−0]
For resonance,
f′=f
fs[v−uv]=(2n+1)f0
If u = 0.8v, fs = f0
f′=0.2vvf0=5f0
For n = 2 pipe can be in resonance
Hence, option (a) is correct.
If u = 0.8v, fs = 2f0
f′=0.2vv×2f0=10f0
If u = 0.8v, fs = 0.5f0
f′=0.2vv×0.5f0=2.5f0
Not possible.
If u = 0.5v, fs = 1.5f0
f′=0.5vv×1.5f0=3f0
For n = 1 f = 3f0
Pipe can be in resonance.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

(Use : ln 2 = 0.693)
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
As the concentration of reactant becomes half at t = 50 s. So, half-time of reaction is 50 s.
Given,
dtdP=k[X]1
⇒−21dtdX=dtdP=k[X]1
−dtdX=2k[X]1
[X]−dX=2kdt
−∫X0XXdX=2k∫0tdt
−[lnX]X0X=2k[t]0t
−lnX+lnX0=2kt
lnXX0=2kt
At t1/2, X=2X0
lnX02X0=2kt1/2
k=2t1/2ln2=1000.693=6.93×10−3s−1
At t = 50 s, −dtdx=2k[X]1;[X]=1 mol
So, dt−dX=2×6.93×10−3×1=13.86×10−3 mol L-1 s-1
At t = 100 s, −21dtdX=dt−dY⇒dt−dY=k[Y]1;[Y]=21
−dtdY=6.93×10−3×21=3.46×10−3 mol L-1 s-1
So, options (b), (c) and (d) are correct.

Let M={(x,y)∈R×R:x2+y2≤r2}, where r > 0. Consider the geometric progression an=2n−11, n = 1, 2, 3, ...... . Let S0 = 0 and for n ≥ 1, let Sn denote the sum of the first n terms of this progression. For n ≥ 1, let Cn denote the circle with center (Sn−1, 0) and radius an, and Dn denote the circle with center (Sn−1, Sn−1) and radius an.
Consider M with r=5131025. Let k be the number of all those circles Cn that are inside M. Let l be the maximum possible number of circles among these k circles such that no two circles intersect. Then
A
k + 2l = 22
B
2k + l = 26
C
2k + 3l = 34
D
3k + 2l = 40
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
∵an=2n−11 and Sn=2(1−2n1)
For circle Cn to be inside M.
Sn−1+an<5131025⇒Sn<5131025
⇒2(1−2n1)<5131025⇒1−2n1<10261025
⇒1−2n1<1−10261⇒2n−1<1026−1
⇒2n1>10261⇒2n<1026⇒n≤10
∴ Number of circles inside be 10 = k. Clearly, alternate circle do not intersect each other i.e. C1, C3, C5, C7, C9 do not intersect each other as well as C2, C4, C6, C8 and C10 do not intersect each other.
Hence, maximum 5 set of circles do not intersect each other.

C
For every x > 0, there exists a β∈ (0, x) such that ψ2(x)=2x(ψ1(β)−1)
D
f is an increasing function on the interval [0,23]
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
ψ1(x)=e−x+x,x≥0
ψ2(x)=x2−2x−2e−x+2,x≥0
f(x)=∫−xx(∣t∣−t2)e−t2dt,x>0

g(x)=∫0x2t.e−tdt,x>0
Put t=z2⇒dt=2zdz
∴g(x)=∫0xz.e−z2.2zdz
=2∫0xz2.e−z2dz=2∫0xt2.e−t2dt
f′(x)=2(x−x2)e−x2=2x(1−x)e−x2
∴ f is increasing for x∈(0, 1) and f is decreasing for x∈(1, ∞). Hence, option (d) is incorrect.
Now, f(x)+g(x)=2∫0xt.e−t2dt
=[−e−t2]0x=(−e−x2)−(−1)=1−e−x2
⇒f(x)+g(x)=1−e−x2
∴f(ln3)+g(ln3)=1−e−(ln3)2=1−e−ln3=1−31=32
Hence, option (a) is incorrect.
∵ψ1(x)=e−x+x .... (iii)

⇒ x2− x(2h + 1) + 4 = 0 .... (ii)
For touching/tangency, Discriminant (D) = 0
i.e. (2h + 1)2 = 16 ⇒ 2h + 1 = ± 4

From sign scheme of f1'(x), we observe that f(x) has local minima at x = 4k + 1, k∈W i.e. f1'(x) changes sign from −ve to + ve which are x = 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 and f(x) has local maxima at x = 4k + 3, k∈W i.e. f1'(x) changes sign from + ve to − ve, which are x = 3, 7, 11, 15, 19.
So, m1 = number of local minima points = 6
and n1 = number of local maxima points = 5
Hence, 2m1+3n1+m1n1=2×6+3×5+6×5=57

For any real numbers α and β, let yα,β(x), x∈R, be the solution of the differential equation dxdy+αy=xeβx,y(1)=1. Let S={yα,β(x):α,β∈R}. Then which of the following functions belong(s) to the set S?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, dxdy+αy=x.eβx which is a linear differential equation.
Integrating factor (IF)=e∫αdx=eαx
So, the solution is y×eαx=∫xeβx.eαxdx
⇒y×eαx=∫xe(α+β)xdx .... (i)
Case (I) If α + β = 0
From Eq. (i), we get
⇒yeαx=∫xe0.xdx=∫xdx=2x2+C .... (ii)
Given, y(1) = 1 i.e. when x = 1, then y = 1
From Eq. (ii), we get
1.eα=21+C⇒C=eα−21
From Eq. (ii), we get
yeαx=2x2−1+eα
For α = 1
yex=2x2−1+e⇒y=2x2e−x+(e−21)e−x
Option (a) is correct.
Case (II) If α + β= 0
⇒yeαx=x.(α+β)e(α+β)x−∫1×(α+β)e(α+β)xdx
⇒yeαx=x.(α+β)e(α+β)x−(α+β)2e(α+β)x+c1
⇒y=(α+β)x.eβx−(α+β)2eβx+c1e−αx (Cancelling eαx from both sides)
⇒y=α+βeβx(x−α+β1)+c1e−αx .... (iii)
Putting α = β = 1 in Eq. (iii), we get
y=2ex(x−21)+c1e−x
Given, y(1) = 1
∴1=2e×21+ec1⇒c1=e−4e2
So, y=2ex(x−21)+(e−4e2)e−x→ option (c) is correct.

Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 6.00
Official Correct Answer:6.00
Step-by-Step Solution:
f1(x)=∫0x(t−1)1(t−2)2(t−3)3(t−4)4....(t−21)21dt
⇒f1′(x)=(x−1)(x−2)2(x−3)3(x−4)4....(x−21)21
Sign Scheme for f1'(x)
From sign scheme of f1'(x), we observe that f(x) has local minima at x = 4k + 1, k∈W i.e. f1'(x) changes sign from −ve to + ve which are x = 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 and f(x) has local maxima at x = 4k + 3, k∈W i.e. f1'(x) changes sign from + ve to − ve, which are x = 3, 7, 11, 15, 19.
So, m1 = number of local minima points = 6
and n1 = number of local maxima points = 5
Hence, 2m1+3n1+m1n1=2×6+3×5+6×5=57
Also, f2(x)=98(x−1)50−600(x−1)49+2450
⇒f2′(x)=98×50(x−1)49−600×49(x−1)48
⇒f2′(x)=98×50(x−1)48(x−1−6)
⇒f2′(x)=98×50(x−1)48(x−7)
Clearly, m2 = 1 and n2 = 0
So, 6m2+4n2+8m2n2=6+0+0=6

Let E denote the parabola y2 = 8x. Let P = (−2, 4), and let Q and Q' be two distinct points on E such that the lines PQ and PQ' are tangents to E. Let F be the focus of E. Then which of the following statements is(are) TRUE?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, E : y2 = 8x .... (i)
and P ≡ (−2, 4)
Now, directrix of Eq. (i) is x = −2
So, point P(−2, 4) lies on the directrix of parabola y2 = 8x. Hence, ∠QPQ′=2π (by the definition of director circle) and chord QQ' is a focal chord and segment PQ subtends a right angle at the focus.
Slope of PF = −1 (∵ PF ⊥ QQ')
Now, slope of QQ′=t1+t22=1
∴PF=(2+2)2+(0+4)2=32=42

∵r=2198(2199−1)2
Now, 2sn−1+an<(21982199−1)2
22(1−2n−11)+2n−11<(21982199−1)2
∴22−2n−22+2n−11<22−21982
2n−21(21−2)<−21982⇒2.2n−222−1>21982
⇒2n−2<(2−21).2197
∴ n ≤ 199
So, number of circles = 199

The value of α is ___________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2.00
Official Correct Answer:2.00
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, x ≥ 0, y2≤ 4 − x
Let equation of circle be
(x − h)2 + y2 = h2 .... (i)
Solving Eq. (i) with y2 = 4 − x, we get
x2− 2hx + 4 − x = 0
⇒ x2− x(2h + 1) + 4 = 0 .... (ii)
For touching/tangency, Discriminant (D) = 0
i.e. (2h + 1)2 = 16 ⇒ 2h + 1 = ± 4
⇒ 2h = ± 4 − 1
⇒h=23,h=2−5 (Rejected) because part of circle lies outside R. So, h=23 = radius of circle (c).
Putting h = 3/2 in Eq. (ii),
x2− 4x + 4 = 0 ⇒ (x − 2)2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
So, α = 2
