= 60100×10−3=35×10−3m3
∴ Velocity of flow (v)
= AQ=3×π×(5×10−2)25×10−3
=15π10=3π2m/s
= 0.2 m/s
∴ Reynold number (Re) = ηDvρ
=1(10×10−2)×3π2×1000=2×104

A boy's catapult is made of rubber cord which
is 42 cm long, with 6 mm diameter of
cross-section and of negligible mass. The boy
keeps a stone weighing 0.02kg on it and
stretches the cord by 20 cm by applying a
constant force. When released, the stone flies
off with a velocity of 20 ms–1. Neglect the
change in the area of cross-section of the cord
while stretched. The Young's modulus of
rubber is closest to:
A
104 Nm–2
B
106 Nm–2
C
108 Nm–2
D
103 Nm–2
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
When rubber cord is stretched, then it stores potential energy and when released, this potential energy is given to the stone as kinetic energy.
So, potential energy of stretched cord = kinetic energy of stone
⇒21Y(LΔL)2A.L=21mv2
Here, ΔL = 20 cm = 0.2 m, L = 42 cm = 0.42 m, v = 20 ms−1, m = 0.02 kg, d = 6 mm = 6 × 10−3 m
∴A=πr2=π(2d)2=π(26×10−3)2
=π(3×10−3)2=9π×10−6m2
On substituting values, we get
Y=A(ΔL)2mv2L=9π×10−6×(0.2)20.02×(20)2×0.42
≈3.0×106Nm−2
So, the closest value of Young's modulus is 106 Nm−2.
Q 12PhysicsSection A • MCQalternating current
+4 / -1
An alternating voltage v(t) = 220 sin 100 πt volt
is applied to a purely resistance load of 50Ω .
The time taken for the current to rise from half
of the peak value to the peak value is :
A
5 ms
B
2.2 ms
C
3.3 ms
D
7.2 ms
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In an AC resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.
So, I=RV⇒I=50220sin(100πt) ..... (i)
∴ Time period of one complete cycle of current is
T=ω2π=100π2π=501s
So, current reaches its maximum value at
t1=4T=2001s
When current is half of its maximum value, then from Eq.(i), we have
I=2Imax=Imaxsin(100πt2)
⇒sin(100πt2)=21⇒100πt2=65π
So, instantaneous time at which current is half of maximum value is t2=1201s
Hence, time duration in which current reaches half of its maximum value after reaching maximum value is
Δt=t2−t1=1201−2001=3001s=3.3 ms
Q 13PhysicsSection A • MCQelectrostatics
+4 / -1
A solid conducting sphere, having a charge Q,
is surrounded by an uncharged conducting
hollow spherical shell. Let the potential
difference between the surface of the solid
sphere and that of the outer surface of the
hollow shell be V. If the shell is now given a
charge of –4 Q, the new potential difference
between the same two surfaces is :
A
V
B
2V
C
–2V
D
4V
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Initially when uncharged shell encloses charge Q, charge distribution due to induction will be as shown,
The potential on surface of inner shell is
VA=akQ+bk(−Q)+bkQ ..... (i)
where, k = proportionality constant.
Potential on surface of outer shell is
VB=bkQ+bk(−Q)+bkQ ..... (ii)
Then, potential difference is
ΔVAB=VA−VB=kQ(a1−b1)
Given, ΔVAB=V
So, kQ(a1−b1)=V ....... (iii)
Finally after giving charge − 4Q to outer shell, potential difference will be
ΔVAB=VA−VB
=(akQ+bk(−4Q))−(bkQ+bk(−4Q))
=kQ(a1−b1)=V [from Eq. (iii)]
Hence, we obtain that potential difference does not depend on the charge of outer sphere, hence potential difference remains same.

[where, diagonal length BD is 2a]
=2a2GM2+a2GM2(22)=a2GM2(21+2)
This force will act as centripetal force.
Distance of particle from centre of circle is 2a.

Q 17PhysicsSection A • MCQheat and thermodynamics
+4 / -1
Two identical beakers A and B contain equal
volumes of two different liquids at 60°C each
and left to cool down. Liquid in A has density
of 8 × 102 kg/m3 and specific heat of
2000 J kg–1 K–1 while liquid in B has density
of 103 kg m–3 and specific heat of
4000 J kg–1 K–1. Which of the following best
describes their temperature versus time graph
schematically? (assume the emissivity of both
the beakers to be the same)
A
B
C
D
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We know, m = V . ρ
where, V = volume and ρ = density.
So, we have
dtdQ=msh(T−T0)=V.ρsh(T−T0)
Since, h, (T − T0) and V are constant for both beaker.
∴dtdQ∝ρs1
We have given that ρA = 8 × 102 kgm−3, ρB = 103 kgm−3, sA = 2000 J kg−1 K−1 and sB = 4000 J kg−1 K−1, ρAsA = 16 × 105 and ρBsB = 4 × 106
ρA < ρB, sA < sB and ρAsA < ρBsB
⇒ρAsA1>ρBsB1⇒dtdQA>dtdQB
So, for container B, rate of cooling is smaller than the container A. Hence, graph of B lies above the graph of A and it is not a straight line (slope of A is greater than B).

A thin strip 10 cm long is on a U shaped wire
of negligible resistance and it is connected to
a spring of spring constant 0.5 Nm–1
(see figure). The assembly is kept in a uniform
magnetic field of 0.1 T. If the strip is pulled
from its equilibrium position and released, the
number of oscillation it performs before its
amplitude decreases by a factor of e is N. If the
mass of the strip is 50 grams, its resistance 10W
and air drag negligible, N will be close to :
A
50000
B
1000
C
5000
D
10000
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
There are two forces on slider.
Spring force = kx
where, k = spring constant.
As the slider is kept in a uniform magnetic field B = 0.1 T, hence it will experience a force, i.e.
Magnetic force = Bil
where, l = length of the strip.
Now, using
Fnet = ma
We have,
(−kx)+(−Bil)=ma
⇒−kx−Bil−ma=0
⇒−kx−RB2l2.v−ma=0 [∵i=RBlv]
and acceleration, a=dt2d2x
Hence, the modified equation becomes
⇒dt2md2x+RB2l2(dtdx)+kx=0
This is the equation of damped simple harmonic motion.
So, amplitude of oscillation varies with time as
A=Ae−2RmB2l2.t
Now, when amplitude is eA0, then
eA0=e2RmB2l2.tA0 (as given)
⇒(2RmB2l2)t=1 or t=B2l22Rm
According to the question, magnetic field B = 0.1 T, mass of strip m = 50 × 10−3 kg, resistance R = 10 Ω, l = 10 cm = 10 × 10−2 m
∴t=B2l22Rm=(0.1)2×(10×10−2)22×10×50×10−3
=10−41=10000 s
Given, spring constant, k = 0.5 Nm−1
Also, time period of oscillation is
T=2πkm=2π0.550×10−3=102π≈2s
So, number of oscillations is
N=Tt=210000=5000

the two wires forms a node. If the number of
antinodes in wire A is p and that in B is q then
the ratio p : q is :
A
3 : 5
B
4 : 9
C
1 : 2
D
1 : 4
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let mass per unit length of wires are μ1 and μ2
respectively
∵ Materials are same, so density ρ will be same.
∴μ1=Lρπr2L=μ and μ2=Lρ4πr2L=4μ
Tension in both are same = T, let speed of wave in wires are V1 and V2
V1=2LV1=2LV&V2=2LV2=4LV
Frequency at which both resonate is L.C.M. of
both frequencies (i.e : 2LV )
Hence number of loops in wires are 1 and 2 respectively
So, ratio of number of antinodes is 1 : 2.

Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In given system of lens and mirror, position of object O in front of lens is at a distance 2f. i.e. u = 2f = 40 cm
So, image (I1) formed is real, inverted and at a distance, v = 2f = 2 × 20 = 40 cm, (behind lens) magnification, m1=uv=4040=1
Thus, size of image is same as that of that of object. This image (I1) acts like a real object for mirror.
As object distance for mirror is
u = C = 2f = − 20 cm
where, C = centre of curvature.
So, image (I2) formed by mirror is at 2f.
∴ For mirror v = 2f = 2(− 10) = − 20 cm
Magnification, m2=−uv=−(−20)(−20)=−1
Thus, image size is same as that of object.
The image I2 formed by the mirror will act like an object for lens.
As the object is at 2f distance from lens, so image (I3) will be formed at a distance 2f or 40 cm. Thus, magnification,
m3=uv=4040=1
So, final magnification, m=m1×m2×m3=−1
Hence, final image (I3) is real, inverted of same size as that of object and coinciding with object.

If 1022 gas molecules each of mass 10–26 kg
collide with a surface (perpendicular to it)
elastically per second over an area 1 m2 with
a speed 104 m/s, the pressure exerted by the gas
molecules will be of the order of :
A
108 N/m2
B
1016 N/m2
C
104 N/m2
D
2 N/m2
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Momentum imparted to the surface in one collision,
Δp=(pi−pf)=mv−(−mv)=2mv ..... (i)
Force on the surface due to n collision per second, F=tn(Δp)=nΔp (∵t=1s)
= 2 mnv [from Eq. (i)]
So, pressure on the surface,
p=AF=A2mnv
Here, m = 10−26 kg, n = 1022 s−1, v = 104 ms−1, A = 1 m2
∴ Pressure, p=12×10−26×1022×104=2 N/m2
So, pressure exerted is of order of 100.

Which one of the following equations does not correctly represent the first law of thermodynamics
for the given processes involving an ideal gas? (Assume non-expansion work is zero)
A
Adiabatic process : ΔU= – w
B
Cyclic process : q = –w
C
Isochoric process : ΔU= q
D
Isothermal process : q = – w
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
From 1st law of thermodynamics we know,
ΔU = q + W
Option A :
In adiabatic process exchage of heat = 0
∴ q = 0
∴ From 1st law of thermodynaics, ΔU = W
So option A is wrong.
Option B :
U is a state function. In cyclic process, initial state and final state both are same. So change in all the state function in cyclic process will be zero.
∴ΔU = 0
∴ From 1st law of thermodynaics,
q + W = 0 ⇒ q = -W
So option B is correct..
Option C :
In isochoric process volume (V) is constant. So dV = 0.
We know, W = −∫PexdV
∴ W = 0
∴ From 1st law of thermodynaics,
ΔU = q
So option C is correct.
Option D :
In isothermal process temerature (T) is constant. So dT = 0.
We know, ΔU = nCvdT
∴ΔU = 0
∴ From 1st law of thermodynaics,
q + W = 0 ⇒ q = -W
So option D is correct.

D

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here number of unpaired electrons = 3
∴ Spin only magnetic moment (μ) = 3(3+2)=15 B.M
Note : Energy of t2g is less than eg. As electrons always go to the lower energy level orbitals first, that is why electrons goes to the t2g orbital first.
Here number of unpaired electrons = 0
∴ Spin only magnetic moment (μ) = 0 B.M
Note : (1) As CN- is a strong field ligand so Energy gap between eg and t2g orbital is very high.
(2) [Fe(CN)6]4– is an octahedral complex. And for octahedral complex Energy gap between eg and t2g orbital is called Δ0 or Crystal Field splitting Energy.
(3) Energy required to pair up the electron in same orbital is called Pairing Energy(P).
(4) For strong field ligand, Δ0 is very high and for weak field ligand, Δ0 is very low.
(5) For strong field ligand, Δ0 > P, so when electron gets energy, pairing of electrons happens as for pairing of electrons very low energy requied.
(6) For weak field ligand, Δ0 < P, so when electron gets energy, pairing of electrons does not happens as the energy required to enter into the eg orbital is less than pairing energy. That is why electron go to eg orbital first.
(7) As CN- is a strong field ligand so pairing of electron occurs.
Here number of unpaired electrons = 1
∴ Spin only magnetic moment (μ) = 1(1+2)=3 B.M
Note : (1) In [Ru(NH3)6]3+ complex, NH3 is a strong field ligand so Energy gap between eg and t2g orbital is very high. That is why pairing of electrons occurs.
Here number of unpaired electrons = 2
∴ Spin only magnetic moment (μ) = 2(2+2)=8 B.M

D
greater than 3 but less than 4
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let 10x+3= −7y−2 = 1z = λ
∴ General point Q(10λ - 3, -7λ + 2, λ).
PQ = (10λ - 5)i + (3 - 7λ)j + (λ - 4)k
The vector parrallel to the given line is
= 10i - 7j + k
As PQ and (10i - 7j + k) are perpendicular to the each other.
PQ . (10i - 7j + k) = 0
⇒ (10λ - 5)10 + (3 - 7λ)(-7) + (λ - 4)(1) = 0
⇒ 100λ – 50 + 49λ – 21 + λ – 4 = 0
⇒ 150λ = 75
⇒λ = 21

As cos(α + β) = 3/5
so tan(α+β)=34
As sin( α - β) = 5/13
so tan(α−β)=125
Now tan(2α) = tan(α + β + α - β)

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
(x2+1)2dxdy+2x(x2+1)y=1
⇒dxdy+(1+x22x)y=(1+x2)21
I.F = e∫1+x22xdx=eln(1+x2)=1+x2
∴dxd((1+x2)y)=1+x21
Integrating both sides we get,
(1+x2)y = tan−1x + C
When x = 0 then y = 0
So, 0 = 0 + C
⇒ C = 0
⇒(1+x2)y = tan−1x
Put x = 1,
y.(2) = 4π
⇒ y = 8π = y(1)

Let the chord x + y = n cuts the circle x2 +
y2 = 16 at A and B.
Length of perpendicular from
O on AB,
OM = 12+120+0−n=2n
Radius of the circle = 4
From the picture you can see,
2n < 4
⇒ n < 5.65
∴ Possible value of n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Length of chord AB = 2(4)2−(2n)2
= 216−2n2
= 64−2n2 = l
For n = 1, l2 = 62
For n = 2, l2 = 56
For n = 3, l2 = 46
For n = 4, l2 = 32
For n = 5, l2 = 14

⇒ 2x + y = 4
∴ Slope of this tangent = -2
Equation of tangent at point (a, b) is
4ax + by = 8
Slope of this tangent = −b4a
As tangent at (1, 2) and (a, b) are perpendicular
∴(−2)(−b4a)=−1
⇒ b = -8a
As point (a, b) lies on the ellipse

C
increasing on (0, 2)
D

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
ϕ(x) = ƒ(x) + ƒ(2 – x)
⇒ϕ'(x) = ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x)
Since ƒ''(x) > 0 for all x ∈ (0, 2)
⇒ ƒ'(x) is an increasing function for all x ∈ (0, 2).
Case 1 : When ϕ(x) is increasing function
So ϕ'(x) > 0
⇒ ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x) > 0
⇒ ƒ'(x) > ƒ'(2 – x)
⇒ x > 2 – x
⇒ x > 1
∴ϕ(x) is increasing on (1, 2).
Case 2 : When ϕ(x) is decreasing function
So ϕ'(x) < 0
⇒ ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x) < 0
⇒ ƒ'(x) < ƒ'(2 – x)
⇒ x < 2 – x
⇒ x < 1
∴ϕ(x) is decreasing on (0, 1).

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Case 1 : When x≥2
then ∣x−2∣=x−2
∴ The given equation becomes,
(x−2) + x(x−4)+2 = 0
⇒(x−2) + x−4x + 2 = 0
⇒x−3x = 0
⇒x(x−3) = 0
∴x = 0 or 3
x = 0 is not possible as x≥2.
So, x = 3
or x = 9
Case 2 : When x<2
then ∣x−2∣=−(x−2) = 2−x
∴ The given equation becomes,
(2−x) + x(x−4)+2 = 0
⇒2−x + x−4x + 2 = 0
⇒x−5x+4 = 0
⇒x−4x−x+4 = 0
⇒x(x−4)−(x−4) = 0
⇒(x−4)(x−1) = 0
∴x = 4 or 1
x = 4 is not possible as x<2.
∴x = 1
or x = 1
So, Sum of all solutions = 9 + 1 = 10

Q 86MathematicsSection A • MCQmatrices and determinants
+4 / -1
The greatest value of c ∈ R for which the system
of linear equations
x – cy – cz = 0
cx – y + cz = 0
cx + cy – z = 0
has a non-trivial solution, is :
A
-1
B
0
C
1/2
D
2
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
If the system of equations has non-trivial
solutions, then
D = 0
\left| {\matrix{
1 & { - c} & { - c} \cr
c & { - 1} & c \cr
c & c & { - 1} \cr
} } \right| = 0
⇒ (1 - c2) + c(-c - c2) - c(c2 + c) = 0
⇒ (1 + c)(1 - c - 2c2) = 0
⇒ (1 + c)2 (1 - 2c) = 0
⇒ c = -1 or 21
∴ Greatest value of c is 21.
Q 87MathematicsSection A • MCQstraight lines and pair of straight lines
+4 / -1
A point on the straight line, 3x + 5y = 15 which is equidistant from the coordinate axes will lie only
in :
A
1st and 2nd qudratants
B
4th qudratant
C
1st and 2nd and 4th qudratants
D
1st qudratant
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let the point is P(x, y).
According to the question, the point P(x, y) is equidistance from both x and y axis.
∴ |x| = |y|
⇒ x = ± y
So the point P lies on the either x = y or x = - y line. And point P(x, y) also lies on the straight line 3x + 5y = 15.
Form the graph, you can see the point P can either be on 1st qudratant or 2nd qudratant.
Q 88MathematicsSection A • MCQfunctions
+4 / -1
If f(x)=loge(1+x1−x), ∣x∣<1 then f(1+x22x) is equal to
A
2f(x2)
B
2f(x)
C
(f(x))2
D
-2f(x)
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, f(x)=loge(1+x1−x)
f(1+x22x) = ln(1+1+x22x1−1+x22x)
= ln(x2+2x+1x2−2x+1)
= ln(1+x1−x)2
= 2ln(1+x1−x)
= 2f(x)
Q 89MathematicsSection A • MCQmathematical reasoning
+4 / -1
The contrapositive of the statement "If you are
born in India, then you are a citizen of India", is :
A
If you are not a citizen of India, then you are
not born in India.
B
If you are born in India, then you are not a
citizen of India.
C
If you are a citizen of India, then you are born
in India.
D
If you are not born in India, then you are not
a citizen of India
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let p = you are born in India.
q = you are a citizen of India.
∴∼ p = you are not born in India.
∼ q = you are not a citizen of India.
We know Contrapositive of p → q is ~q → ~p
So contrapositive of statement will be :
“If you are not a citizen of India, then you are
not born in India.”
