The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted from the surface is v when light of frequency n falls on a metal surface. If the incident frequency is increased to 3n, the maximum velocity of the ejected photoelectrons will be :
A
less than 3 v
B
v
C
more than 3v
D
equal to 3v
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The given maximum velocity is v and frequency is n. We know that the kinetic energy is given by
KE=21mv2=hn−ϕ
where h is Planck's constant and ϕ is the work function. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the incident light is
E1=hn−ϕ ..... (1)
When the frequency of the incident light is increased to 3n, then the kinetic energy is given by
21mv12=3hn−ϕ
⇒E2=3hn−ϕ ..... (2)
Substituting hn=E1+ϕ [from Eq. (1)] in Eq. (2), we get
E2=3(E1+ϕ)−ϕ
⇒E2=3E1+2ϕ
⇒21mv12=3×21mv2+2ϕ
⇒v12=3v2+2ϕ×m2
⇒v12=3v2+m4ϕ
Thus, the velocity is more than 3v.

Assume equivalent resistance of the infinite network is x.
The circuit can be redrawn like this,
Here 4 Ω and x Ω are parallel,
∴xeq1 = 41 + x1
⇒ xeq = 4+x4x
∴ Equivalent resistance between point A and B is ,
x = 4+x4x + 2
⇒ x = 4+x8+6x
⇒ 4x + x2 = 8 + 6x
⇒ x2− 2x − 8 = 0
⇒ x = 22±4−4(1)(−8)
⇒x = 22±6
⇒ = 4 Ω
(as negative value of x is not acceptable)
∴ Reading of Aonmeter, A1 = R+rV
A1 = 4+0.59 = 2 A

We know,
Torque = I∝ = RT
∴ RT = 21 M R2×Ra = 2MaR
⇒ T = 2Ma
Putting the value of T in eq (1).
ma = mg −2Ma
⇒ a ( m + 2Ma) = mg
⇒ a = 2m+M2mg

A
3h
B
∞
C
35h
D
38h
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let,
Kinetic energy (k) = 21 m υ2 before it hit the ground.
After hitting the ground kinetic energy
(k') = 21 m υ12
∴According to the question,
21 mυ12 = 21×21 mυ2
⇒υ1 = 2v
After hitting the ground the object will bounce
h' = 2gv12 = 4gv2 = 2h [ as h = 2gv2 ]
Total distance travelled from the time it first hits the ground to the next time it hits the ground is = 2h + 2h = h
So, this will create a infinite geometric progression with the common ration 21.
∴ Total distance covered
= h (distance travelled by the obhect when first dropped, before it hits the ground)
+ (h + 2h + 4h + . . . . . . . .∝)
= h + 1−21h
= h + 2h

f = 2LnμT
Here, n = number of antinodes
μ = mass per unit length.
As, O is the midpoint of two bridegs, hence length of two wires are equal.
∴ L1 = L2 = L
As frequency of both wires same
f1 = f2
⇒2Ln1πr2ρ1T = 2Ln2πr2ρ2T
⇒n2n1 = ρ2ρ1

41Hz
B
221Hz
C
21Hz
D
2Hz
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
For 1 kg block :
Here frequency of spring (f) = 2π1mk
Given that, F = 1 Hz
∴2π11k = 1
⇒ k = 4π2 N m−1
For 8 kg Block :
Here two identical springs are attached in parallel. So,
Keq = k + k = 2k
∴ Frequency of 8 kg block,
F' = 2π1m′keq
= 2π182k
= 2π182×4π2
= 2π1×π
= 21 Hz

Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
For the given reaction :
Fe3+ + e−→ Fe2+; EFe3+/Fe2+o = +0.77 V
ΔGo = -nFEo
⇒ΔG1o=−(1)F(0.77) = -0.77F
For the following reaction :
Fe2+ + 2e−→ Fe; EFe2+/Feo = −0.47 V
ΔG2o=−(2)F(−0.47) = 0.47×2F
Overall reaction :
Fe3+ + 3e−→ Fe;
ΔG3o=−3FE3o
⇒ΔG1o + ΔG2o = 3FE3o

We know,
λ1 = Rz2 (n121−n221)
The shortest wavelength of hydrogen atom in Lyman series is from n1 = 1 to n2 = ∝
∴A1 = 12 R (121−∝21) [for hydrogen, z = 1]
⇒A1 = R
The longest wavelength in pascal series of He+ is from n1 = 3 to n2 = 4
For He+, z = 2.
λ1 = RZ2 (n121−n221)

Which of the following statements is not true about partition chromatography?
A
Mobile phase can be a gas
B
Stationary phase is a finely divided solid adsorbent
C
Separation depends upon equilibration of solute between a mobile and a stationary phase
D
Paper chromatography is an example of partition chromatography
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In partition chromatography, which includes paper chromatography, the stationary phase is typically water held by cellulose fibers in the paper. This paper acts as an inert support. When a mixture is applied to the paper, its components partition between this stationary phase and the mobile phase (which can be a liquid or a gas). The varying affinities of the mixture's components for the stationary and mobile phases allow for their separation.
Now, let's address the options :
Option A : Mobile phase can be a gas - This is true. In partition chromatography, the mobile phase can be either a liquid or a gas.
Option B : Stationary phase is a finely divided solid adsorbent - This is typically false for partition chromatography. Here, the stationary phase is a liquid (like water in paper chromatography) that's held by an inert solid support (like cellulose paper).
Option C : Separation depends upon equilibration of solute between a mobile and a stationary phase - This is true. In partition chromatography, the mixture's components equilibrate between the mobile and stationary phases, leading to their separation.
Option D : Paper chromatography is an example of partition chromatography - This is true. As explained above, in paper chromatography, the stationary phase (water) is held by an inert support (cellulose paper), fitting the definition of partition chromatography.

C
Both ‘A’ and ‘B’ belong to group-2 where ‘B’ comes below ‘A’.
D
Both ‘A’ and ‘B’ belong to group-2 where ‘A’ comes below ‘B’.
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
From the table you can see ionization enthalpy of A is greater than B in all the cases.
So, B comes below A in the group as in a group from top to bottom ionization enthalpy decreases.
After 1st ionization enthalpy each element become cation by removing a electron. In A+ and B+, after removing one electron from each element, effective nuclear charge increases as per-electron attraction increase by the neuclers. So, the removal of next electron will be more difficult, therefore more energy is required for 2nd ionization energy. From the table you can see 2nd ionization energy is more than first ionization energy for both elements.
But you can see 3rd ionization enthalpy is so much higher than 2nd ionization enthalpy. It means after 2nd ionization enthalpy outermost shell is empty and in 3rd ionization enthalpy from a new shell electron is removed, as the new shell is closer to the neucleus so the attraction by the nucleus to the electrons of this shell is more and to remove a electron from this shell you have to provide very high energy, that is why 3rd ionization enthalpy is so high.
If A and B are from group 1 then after 1st ionization enthalpy outermost shell will be empty and 2nd electron will be removed from inner shell, so 2nd ionization will be so high. But from table you can see 2nd ionization energy is around double of 1st ionization energy, it is not so much high than 1st onization energy. So A and B can't be from group 1.
A and B are from group 2 as in group 2 element, outermost shell has 2 electron and after 2nd ionization enthalpy outermost shell will be empty and in 3rd ionization enethalpy, third electron will removed from innershell so 3rd ionization enthalpy will be very high.

B
A1+ is more stable than A13+
C
T1 + is more stable than A1+
D
T13+ is more stable than A13+
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)

The standard electrode potential E0 for M+/M become negative for Tl which indicates that Tl+ is more stable than Al+.
This can also be be explained by inert pair effect. The atoms of this group have an outer electronic configuration of s2p1. The two s electrons of Tl do not participate in bonding due to poor shielding of d electrons.

+3 and +3
[NiCl4]2− and [CoCl4]2−
Ni and Co
+2 and +2
MnO2 and CrO2Cl2
Mn and Cr
+4 and +6
In order to determine which pair of compounds have metals in their highest oxidation states, we need to consider the common oxidation states of the metals involved, as well as the rules for determining oxidation states in compounds and complex ions. Let's evaluate each option:
Option A: MnO2 and CrO2Cl2
In MnO2, manganese (Mn) has an oxidation state of +4. This is not the highest oxidation state manganese can achieve; it can go up to +7, as seen in KMnO4 (potassium permanganate).
In CrO2Cl2, chromium (Cr) has an oxidation state of +6, which is indeed its highest oxidation state.
Thus, this option contains one metal in its highest oxidation state (Cr) but not the other (Mn).
Option B: [NiCl4]2- and [CoCl4]2-
For both [NiCl4]2- and [CoCl4]2-, the nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) are in a +2 oxidation state. Neither of these represents the highest oxidation state for these metals. Nickel can have a +3 state, and cobalt can go up to +4 in very rare cases.
Option C: [Fe(CN)6]3- and [Cu(CN)4]2-
In [Fe(CN)6]3-, the iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of +3, which is a common high oxidation state for iron, though iron can also exist in a +2 state commonly and +6 in very rare conditions. Therefore, +3 is considered a high oxidation state but not the absolute highest.
In [Cu(CN)4]2-, copper (Cu) has an oxidation state of +2, which is the highest stable oxidation state for copper in most of its compounds.
Option D: [FeCl4]- and Co2O3
In [FeCl4]-, iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of +3. As mentioned, +3 is a high state for iron, but not the absolute highest oxidation state it can achieve.
In Co2O3, cobalt (Co) has an oxidation state of +3, as evidenced by the formula, where two Co atoms interact with three O atoms (each oxygen providing a -2 charge, for a total of -6, requiring each Co to be +3 to balance the charge). +3 is indeed among the highest common oxidation states for cobalt, although, as mentioned, Co can technically reach +4.
Conclusion: Based on above analysis, while none of the options perfectly fits the criteria of both elements being in their absolute highest oxidation states (especially considering the rare or less common states), Option A and Option D come closest, with chromium and cobalt being in their common high oxidation states in the provided compounds. However, the question asks for the highest oxidation state, and strictly speaking, none of the options perfectly satisfy the condition for both elements included. Among the choices, Option A is the closest because chromium is in its highest oxidation state of +6 in CrO2Cl2, and manganese in MnO2 is in a +4 state, which while not its absolute highest, represents a commonly encountered high oxidation state. Given the context and conventional exams' focus on common oxidation states, Option A would be the best fit despite the slight discrepancy with the question's phrasing.

We have the following probabilities:
∙ The probability that the target is hit by the person P is 43.
∙ The probability that the target is not hit by the person P is 1−43=41.
∙ The probability that the target is hit by the person Q is 21.
∙ The probability that the target is not hit by the person Q is 1−21=21.
∙ The probability that the target is hit by the person R is 85.
∙ The probability that the target is not hit by the person R is 1−85=83.
Here, we have used the fact that if the probability of occurrence of an event is p, then the probability of non-occurrence of an event is q=1−p.
Therefore, the probability that the target is hit by P or Q and not by R is
(Probability that the target is hit by P and not by Q and R) + (Probability that the target is hit by Q and not by P and R) + (Probability that the target is hit by both P and Q and not by R)

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here, tx − 2y − 3t = 0 & x − 2ty + 3 = 0
On solving, we get;
y = 2t2−26t = t2−13t & x = t2−13t2+3
Put t = tanθ
∴ x = − 3 sec 2θ & 2y = 3 (− tan 2θ)
∵ sec22θ− tan22θ = 1
⇒9x2−9/4y2 = 1
which represents at hyperbola
∴ a2 = 9 & b2 = 9/4
λ(T.A.) = 6; e2 = 1 + 99/4 = 1 + 41⇒ e = 25

225+6
B
14 + 53
C
247+106
D

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given that x2 + y2− 5x − y + 5 = 0
⇒ (x − 5/2)2−425 + (y − 1/2)2− 1/4 = 0
⇒ (x − 5/2)2 + (y − 1/2)2 = 3/2
on circle [ Q ≡ (5/2 + 3/2 cos Q, 21 + 3/2 sin Q)]
⇒ PQ2 = (25+3/2cosQ)2 + (25+3/2sinQ)2
⇒ PQ2 = 225+23+53/2 (cos Q + sinQ)
= 14 + 53/2 (cosQ + sinQ)
∴ Maximum value of PQ2

B
p(2) = 19
C

D
p(− 2) = 11
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let, P(x) = ax2 + bx + c
As, P(0) = 1,
∴ a(0)2 + b(0) + c = 1
⇒ c = 1
∴ P(x) = ax2 + bx + 1
If P(x) is divided by x − 1, remainder = 4
⇒ P(1)=4
∴ a + b + 1 = 4 . . . . . (1)
If P(x) is divided by x + 1, remainder = 6
⇒ P(− 1) = 6
∴ a − b + 1 = 6 . . . .(2)
By solving (1) and (2) we get,
a = 4, and b = −1
∴ P(x) = 4x2− x + 1
P(2) = 4(2)2− 2 + 1 = 15
P(− 2) = 4 (−2)2− (− 2) + 1 = 19

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The given equation x2+y2=4 is equation of circle of radius 2 centred at origin and equation y2=3x is the equation of parabola.
x2+y2=4 ..... (1)
y2=3x ..... (2)
Substituting Eq. (2) in Eq. (1), we get
x2+3x−4=0
⇒x2+4x−x−4=0
⇒x(x+4)−1(x+4)=0
⇒(x−1)(x+4)=0
⇒(x−1)=0 and (x+4)=0
Therefore, x = 1, −4. Considering x = 1, then from Eq. (2), we get y=3,−3.
Therefore (1,3) and (1,−3) are the points of intersection of parabola and circle.
The required area (A) is the area of the shaded region shown in the figure. Therefore,
