Q 1PhysicsSection A • MCQelectromagnetic induction
+4 / -1
A solid metal cube of edge length 2 cm is moving in a positive y-direction at a constant speed of 6 m/s. There is a uniform magnetic field of 0.1 T in the positive z-direction. The potential difference between the two faces of the cube perpendicular to the x-axis, is -
A
2mV
B
12 mV
C
6 mV
D
1 mV
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We can apply Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to solve this problem. Faraday's law states that the induced electromotive force (emf) in any closed circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.
The cube is moving through a magnetic field, so it's behaving like a conductor moving through a magnetic field. The induced emf or voltage can be calculated by using the formula:
emf = B × v × d
Where:
B is the magnetic field strength,
v is the velocity of the conductor, and
d is the length of the conductor perpendicular to the direction of motion and magnetic field.
In this case, the cube is moving in the y-direction and the magnetic field is in the z-direction. So, the faces perpendicular to the x-axis are involved. The length of the conductor (d) perpendicular to the motion and magnetic field is the edge length of the cube, which is 2 cm or 0.02 m.
So, plugging the given values into the formula:
emf = 0.1 T × 6 m/s × 0.02 m = 0.012 V = 12 mV
So, the potential difference between the two faces of the cube perpendicular to the x-axis is 12 mV.
Therefore, Option B is correct.

Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here given that
density of a material in SI units is 128 kg m–3
And a new unit system is introduced where 1 unit of length = 25 cm and 1 unit of mass = 50 g
You should know that, physical quantity is same in any unit system. And to calculate a physical quantity yo should know two things
(1) numerical value of the physical quantity (n)
(2) unit of the physical quantity (u)
And n × u = constant in any unit system.
Here in SI unit system,
n1 = 128
u1 = kg/m3
And in new unit system,
n2 = ?
u2 = 50gm/(25cm)3
As n1u1 = n2u2
∴ 128 × (kg/m3) = n2× 50gm/(25cm)3

t = Vrelf=100100=1 sec
Speed of wood just before collision = gt = 10 m/s
& speed of bullet just before collision v-gt
= 100 − 10 = 90 m/s
Now, conservation of linear momentum just before and after the collision -
− (0.02) (1v) + (0.02) (9v) = (0.05)v
⇒ 150 = 5v
⇒ v = 30 m/s
Max. height reached by body h = 2gv2
h = 2×1030×30 = 45m
∴ Height above tower = 40 m

D
DCM and H2O will be miscible clearly
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Density of DCM = 1.39 and density of H2O = 1.0.
Dichloromethane (DCM) is a denser solvent than water. Therefore, when a mixture of DCM and water is allowed to settle in a separating funnel, the DCM forms the lower layer due to its higher density, while the water forms the upper layer. The two solvents are immiscible, meaning they do not mix and form two distinct layers.
So, the correct answer is :
Option C : DCM and H2O would stay as lower and upper layer respectively in the separating funnel(S.F).

The carbon which is attached to Br atom is called α carbon.
Here, two α carbon presents. Let's call them α1 and α2.
In case of α1 carbon, H elimination can take place either from β1 or β2 carbon. But as we know always more stable product is formed from a reaction. Here if H is removed from β1 carbon then a π bond is created which will perticipate in resonance with benzene ring and product will be more stable. But if H is removed from β2 carbon then the created π bond will not perticipate in resonance with benzene ring so product will be less stable.
In case of α2 carbon, H elimination can take place either from β2 or β3 carbon. But as we know always more stable product is formed from a reaction. Here if H is removed from β2 carbon then a π bond is created which will perticipate in resonance with the π bond associated with the α1 carbon so product will be more stable. But if H is removed from β3 carbon then the created π bond will not perticipate in any resonance so product will be less stable.

Q 80MathematicsSection A • MCQcomplex numbers
+4 / -1
Let z1 and z2 be any two non-zero complex numbers such that 3∣z1∣=4∣z2∣. If z=2z23z1+3z12z2 then :
A
Im(z)=0
B
∣z∣=217
C
∣z∣=219+16cos2θ
D
Re(z) = 0
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, 3∣z1∣=4∣z2∣
⇒∣z2∣∣z1∣=34
⇒∣2z2∣∣3z1∣=34×23=2
As we know, for any compled number
2z23z1=∣2z2∣∣3z1∣(cosθ + i sinθ)
= 2(cosθ + i sinθ)
∴3z12z2 = 2(cosθ+isinθ)1
= 2(cosθ+isinθ)1×(cosθ−isinθ)(cosθ−isinθ)
= (21cosθ−2isinθ) Now, given
z=2z23z1+3z12z2
= 2(cosθ + i sinθ) + (21cosθ−2isinθ)
= 25cosθ+23isinθ
So, |z| = 425cos2θ+49sin2θ
= 219+16cos2θ
z is neither purely real nor purely imaginary and |z| depends on θ.

Q 84MathematicsSection A • MCQstraight lines and pair of straight lines
+4 / -1
If 5, 5r, 5r2 are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, then r cannot be equal to :
A
47
B
45
C
43
D
23
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
For three lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. This is known as the triangle inequality theorem.
Let's apply this to our lengths: 5, 5r, and 5r2. We have three inequalities to check:
5+5r>5r2
5+5r2>5r
5r+5r2>5
Solving these inequalities will give us a range of values for r. Any value outside of this range will mean that r cannot form a triangle with the given sides.
1. 1+r>r2
We can rewrite this as:
r2−r−1<0
⇒[r−(21−5)][r−(21+5)]<0
The roots of this quadratic equation are 21−5 and 21+5, so the inequality holds for r in the interval (21−5,21+5).
2. 1+r2>r
We can rewrite this as:
r2−r+1>0
⇒r2−2⋅21r+(21)2+1−(21)2>0⇒(r−21)2+43>0⇒r∈R
This inequality is true for all real numbers since the left-hand side is always positive, which means the inequality holds for all real R.
Taking the intersection of the intervals from the three inequalities, we get (21−5,21+5) as the valid range for r.
Given the solution of the inequalities r∈(21−5,21+5), we need to determine which of the options are outside this interval.
Option A: 47
The decimal representation of 47 is 1.75, which is outside the interval (21−5,21+5) or approximately (-0.618, 1.618). Hence, r cannot be equal to 47.
Option B: 45
The decimal representation of 45 is 1.25, which is inside the interval (21−5,21+5). Hence, r can be equal to 45.
Option C: 43
The decimal representation of 43 is 0.75, which is also inside the interval (21−5,21+5). Hence, r can be equal to 43.
Option D: 23
The decimal representation of 23 is 1.5, which is also inside the interval (21−5,21+5). Hence, r can be equal to 23.
Therefore, the only value that r cannot be equal to, among the given options, is 47. So, the correct answer is:
Option A: 47
Q 85MathematicsSection A • MCQsets and relations
+4 / -1
In a class of 140 students numbered 1 to 140, all even numbered students opted maths course, those whose number is divisible by 3 opted Physics course and those whose number is divisible by 5 opted Chemistry course. Then the number of students who did not opt for any of the three courses is
A
42
B
102
C
1
D
38
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We're given that there are 140 students numbered from 1 to 140.
1. Define the set A to be the set of even numbered students. The cardinality of A (the number of elements in A), denoted as n(A), can be computed as the greatest integer less than or equal to 140/2. Hence, n(A)=[2140]=70. ([.] denotes greatest integer function)
2. Similarly, let B be the set of students whose number is divisible by 3. Hence, n(B)=[3140]=46. ([.] denotes greatest integer function)
3. Let C be the set of students whose number is divisible by 5. Hence, n(C)=[5140]=28.
So far, we've found the number of students who opted for maths (n(A)), Physics (n(B)), and Chemistry (n(C)).
We also need to consider the students who have opted for multiple subjects :
1. n(A∩B) represents the count of numbers that are divisible by both 2 and 3 (i.e., divisible by 6).
So, n(A∩B)=[6140]=23.
2. n(B∩C) represents the count of numbers that are divisible by both 3 and 5 (i.e., divisible by 15).
So, n(B∩C)=[15140]=9.
3. n(C∩A) represents the count of numbers that are divisible by both 2 and 5 (i.e., divisible by 10).
So, n(C∩A)=[10140]=14.
Finally, n(A∩B∩C) represents the count of numbers that are divisible by 2, 3, and 5 (i.e., divisible by 30).
So, n(A∩B∩C)=[30140]=4.
Now we use the principle of inclusion and exclusion to compute the number of students who have opted for at least one subject. The principle states :
Hence, the number of students who opted for at least one subject is 102. Therefore, the number of students who did not opt for any of the subjects is
Total − n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= 140 − 102 = 38
Q 86MathematicsSection A • MCQparabola
+4 / -1
If the parabolas y2 = 4b(x – c) and y2 = 8ax have a common normal, then which on of the following is a valid choice for the ordered triad (a, b, c)?
A
(1, 1, 3)
B
(1, 1, 0)
C
(21,2,0)
D
(21,2,3)
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Normal to the two given curves are
y = m(x – c) – 2bm – bm3,
y = mx – 4am – 2am3
If they have a common normal, then
(c + 2b)m + bm3
= 4am + 2am3
⇒ (4a – c – 2b) m = (b – 2a)m3
⇒ (4a – c – 2b) = (b – 2a)m2
⇒ m2 = 2a−bc−2> 0
By checking all options we found (A) is right option.
Note : We get that all the options are correct for m = 0
i.e., when common normal is x-axis. But may be in question they want common
normal other than x – axis, hence answer is (A).

The mean of five observations is 5 and their variance is 9.20. If three of the given five observations are 1, 3 and 8, then a ratio of other two observations is -
A
6 : 7
B
10 : 3
C
4 : 9
D
5 : 8
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let two observations are x1 & x2
mean = 5∑xi=5
⇒1+3+8+x1+x2=25
⇒x1+x2=13 . . . . (1)
variance (σ2) = 5∑xi2−25=9.20
⇒∑xi2=171
⇒x12+x22=97 . . . . . (2)
⇒(x1 + x2)2− 2x1x2 = 97
⇒ 169 - 2x1x2 = 97
or x1x2 = 36
∴ x1 : x2 = 4 : 9
