From a building two balls A and B are thrown such that A is thrown upwards and B downwards ( both vertically with the same speed ). If vA and vB are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then
A
vB>vA
B
vA=vB
C
vA>vB
D
their velocities depend on their masses.
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Assume the initial velocity of each particle is = u
And height of building = h
If final velocity of A is vA then vA2 = u2 + 2(-g)(-h) = u2 + 2gh
If final velocity of B is vB then vB2 = u2 + 2gh
∴ vA = vB
Sign Rule : Take the direction of initial velocity positive opposite direction as negative.
Here for ball A initial velocity u is upward so upward is positive and downward is negative. That is why gravity is = - g and height = - h
And for ball B initial velocity u is downward so downward is positive and upward is negative. That is why gravity is = + g and height = + h

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Note :
(1) Bond strength ∝ Bond order
(2) Bond length ∝Bondorder1
(3) Bond order =21 [Nb − Na]
Nb = No of electrons in bonding molecular orbital
Na= No of electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital
(4) upto 14 electrons, molecular orbital configuration is
Here Na = Anti bonding electron = 4 and Nb = 10
(5) After 14 electrons to 20 electrons molecular orbital configuration is - - -
Here Na = 10
and Nb = 10
In O atom 8 electrons present, so in O2, 8 × 2 = 16 electrons present.
Then in O2+ no of electrons = 15
in O2− no of electrons = 17
in O22− no of electrons = 18
∴ Molecular orbital configuration of O2 (16 electrons) is
As Bond strength ∝ Bond order so, correct order is

Acetylene does not react with :
A
Na
B
ammoniacal AgNO3
C
HCl
D
NaOH
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Acetylene reacts with sodium :
2CH≡CH+2Na⟶2CH≡C−Na++H2
Here, acetylene reacts with sodium to produce sodium acetylide and hydrogen gas.
2. Acetylene reacts with ammoniacal silver nitrate :
CH≡CH+2AgNO3⟶Ag2C2+2HNO3
In this reaction, acetylene reacts with ammoniacal silver nitrate to form a white precipitate of silver acetylide and nitric acid.
3. Acetylene reaction with hydrochloric acid in the presence of a Hg2+ catalyst (oxymercuration-demercuration) :
CH≡CH+Hg(OAc)2+H2O⟶CH2=CH−OH+HgOAc
CH2=CH−OH+NaBH4⟶CH2=CH−H+B(OH)3+NaOAc
Acetylene does not readily react with HCl. However, in the presence of a catalyst like Hg2+, a specific type of electrophilic addition known as oxymercuration can occur. The result is vinyl chloride. Note that NaBH4 is used to reduce the mercurinium ion intermediate and to replace the Hg group with a hydrogen atom.
4. Acetylene does not react with sodium hydroxide :
CH≡CH+NaOH⟶ no reaction
According to the principles of the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases (HSAB) theory, soft acids prefer to bind with soft bases and hard acids prefer to bind with hard bases. In this case, OH− is a hard base, while the C in acetylene is a soft acid, so they are not particularly reactive with each other.
5. Acetylene reacts with sodium amide :
CH≡CH+NaNH2⟶CH≡C−Na++NH3
Here, sodium amide acts as a strong base and nucleophile, deprotonating the acetylene to form sodium acetylide and ammonia.

A square planar complex is formed by hybridisation of which atomic orbitals ?
A
s, px, py, dxy
B
s, px, py, dx2 - y2
C
s, px, py, dz2
D
s, px, py, dyz
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Hybridization of square planar complex is dsp2 .
In square planar complex all 4 surrounding atoms and central atom are in the same plane and let this plane is x − y plane. As it is dsp2 hybridized, so it has 1 d orbital, 1 s orbital and 2 p orbital.
s orbital is non-directional, so we just write it as s.
In px the two lobes are along x-axis and in py two lobes are along y-axis
One d orbital is dx2− y2, it means out of four lobes of d orbital two along x-axis and two along y-axis.

C
A - B interaction is weaker than A - A and B - B interaction
D
A - B interaction is stronger than A - A and B - B interaction
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
In the context of solutions and mixtures, a negative deviation from Raoult's law occurs when the interaction between different molecules (A-B interaction) is stronger than the interaction between similar molecules (A-A and B-B interactions). This is because the molecules prefer to interact with each other rather than themselves, leading to a decrease in the overall vapor pressure compared to what would be expected from Raoult's law.
So, the correct option is :
Option D : A - B interaction is stronger than A - A and B - B interaction
Option A suggests that the change in volume (ΔVmix) and change in entropy (ΔSmix) of the mixture are both greater than zero. This doesn't necessarily indicate a negative deviation from Raoult's law. It's possible for these conditions to be true in both positive and negative deviations or even in ideal solutions. Therefore, this option isn't specifically associated with negative deviations.
Option B suggests that there's no change in the volume of the mixture (ΔVmix=0) and the change in entropy (ΔSmix) is greater than zero. Again, this doesn't specifically indicate a negative deviation from Raoult's law. The volume change upon mixing can be zero, positive, or negative depending on the nature of the interactions among the molecules.
Raoult's law deviations are primarily dictated by the relative strength of the intermolecular forces among the different components in the mixture. Thus, the change in volume and entropy, while they can be related, do not directly determine whether a solution will show a positive or negative deviation.

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
x is non periodic function and cos(something) is a periodic function so here in cosx→ inside periodic function there is non periodic function which always produce non periodic function.
cos2x is a periodic function with period π
Note : (1) When n is odd then the period of sinnθ, cosnθ, cscnθ, secnθ = 2π
(2) When n is even then the period of sinnθ, cosnθ, cscnθ, secnθ = π
(3) When n is even/odd then the period of tannθ, cotnθ = π
(3) When n is even/odd then the period of ∣sinnθ∣, ∣cosnθ∣, ∣cscnθ∣, ∣secnθ∣, ∣tannθ∣, ∣cotnθ∣ = π
cosx+cos2x = non periodic function + periodic function = non periodic function

(z,z1&z2 are complex numbers) will be :
A
an ellipse
B
a hyperbola
C
a circle
D
none of these
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let the circle be ∣z−z3∣=r.
Then according to given conditions
∣z3−z1∣=r+a (Shown in the image)
and ∣z3−z2∣=r+b. (Shown in the image)
Eliminating r, we get
∣z3−z1∣−∣z3−z2∣=a−b.
∴ Locus of center z3 is
∣z−z1∣−∣z−z2∣=a−b = constant.
Definition of hyperbola says, when difference of distance between two points is constant from a particular point then that particular point will lie on a hyperbola.
Here distance of z1 from z3 is = r+a and distance of z2 from z3 is = r+b
Now their difference = (r+a) - (r+b) = a−b = a constant
∴ Locus of z3 is a hyperbola.

C
0
D

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We can simplify the equation by converting everything to sines and cosines:
cosxsinx+cosx1=2cosx
Multiplying through by cosx gives:
sinx+1=2cos2x
Using the identity cos2x+sin2x=1, we can substitute sin2x with 1−cos2x to get:
sinx+1=2−2sin2x
Rearranging terms gives:
2sin2x+sinx−1=0
This is a quadratic equation in sinx, which we can solve using the quadratic formula:
sinx=4−1±1+8
The discriminant is positive, so there are two solutions for sinx:
sinx=4−1±9=−1,21
For sinx=−1, we have x=23π.
For sinx=21, we have x=6π,65π.
Therefore, there are a total of 3 solutions in the interval [0,2π].

A
equal
B
equal with opposite signs
C
reciprocals of each other
D
none of these
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here in this expansion (1+x)p+q
The general term = Tr+1=p+qCr.(x)r
∴xp will be present in the term = p+qCp.(x)p
So coefficient of xp = p+qCp
And xq will be present in the term = p+qCq.(x)q
∴ coefficient of xq = p+qCq
We know nCr = nCn−r
∴p+qCq = p+qC(p+q)−q = p+qCp
So coefficients of xp and xq are equal.

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
According to this question, any number between 1 to 100 should be divisible by 2 or 5 but not by 2×5 = 10.
Possible numbers between 1 to 100 divisible by 2 are 2, 4, 6, .... , 100
This is an A.P where first term = 2, last term = 100 and total terms = 50.
∴ Sum of the numbers divisible by 2

Possible numbers between 1 to 100 divisible by 5 are 5, 10, 15, .... , 100
∴ Sum of the numbers divisible by 5
= 220[5+100]
= 10×105
= 1050
And possible numbers between 1 to 100 divisible by 10 are 10, 20, 30, .... , 100
∴ Sum of the numbers divisible by 10
= 210[10+100]

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To solve this problem, let's take it step by step, beginning with calculating each of the vector magnitudes (or norms) and then finding the magnitude of the cross product vector c.
Given vectors a and b are:
a=3i−5j
b=6i+3j
Magnitude of a
The magnitude of vector a is calculated using the formula:
a=(3)2+(−5)2=9+25=34.
Magnitude of b
Similarly, the magnitude of vector b is calculated as:
b=(6)2+(3)2=36+9=45.
Calculating c=a×b
The cross product of two vectors a and b in 3-dimensional space is given by:
c=a×b=i36j−53k00
For our provided vectors, the k component of both vectors is 0, thus their cross product will be purely in the k direction. The determinant simplifies to:
c=(3×3−(−5)×6)k=(9+30)k=39k.
Magnitude of c
The magnitude of vector c is:
c=392=39.
Finally, the ratio of the magnitudes of vectors a, b, and c is thus:
34:45:39.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option B) 34:45:39.

In a class of 100 students there are 70 boys whose average marks in a subject are 75. If the average marks of the complete class is 72, then what is the average marks of the girls?
A
73
B
65
C
68
D
74
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given that, total students = 100
and number of boys = 70
∴ No. of girls = 100 - 70 = 30
Average of 100 students = 72
∴ Total marks of 100 students = 100 × 72 = 7200
Average of 70 boys = 75
∴ Total marks of 70 boys = 70 × 75 = 5250
∴ Total marks of 30 girls = 7200 − 5250 = 1950
∴ Average marks of 30 girls = 301950 = 65

Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have \left| {\matrix{
a & b & {ax + b} \cr
b & c & {bx + c} \cr
{ax + b} & {bx + c} & 0 \cr
} } \right|
By R3→R3−(xR1+R2);
= \left| {\matrix{
a & b & {ax + b} \cr
b & c & {bx + c} \cr
0 & 0 & { - \left( {a{x^2} + 2bx + C} \right)} \cr
} } \right|
=(ax2+2bx+c)(b2−ac)
=(+)(−)=−ve.
