Question 1:

A resistor of \(10\,\Omega\) and an inductor of \(0.1\,H\) are connected in series to a \(100\ V, 50\ Hz\) AC source. The impedance of the circuit is:

  • (A) \(10\,\Omega\)
  • (B) \(\sqrt{100+100\pi^2}\,\Omega\)
  • (C) \(\sqrt{100+10000\pi^2}\,\Omega\)
  • (D) \(100\,\Omega\)
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ X_L = 2\pi f L = 2\pi(50)(0.1)=10\pi \] \[ Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}=\sqrt{10^2+(10\pi)^2}=\sqrt{100+100\pi^2} \] Quick Tip: Impedance in RL circuit: \(Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}\).


Question 2:

The escape velocity from the surface of Earth is 11.2 km/s. If the radius of Earth is doubled and mass remains the same, the new escape velocity will be:

  • (A) 11.2 km/s
  • (B) 7.92 km/s
  • (C) 15.84 km/s
  • (D) 22.4 km/s
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ v_e \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{R}} \] \[ v'=\frac{11.2}{\sqrt{2}}=7.92\ km/s \] Quick Tip: Escape velocity varies inversely with square root of radius.


Question 3:

A convex lens of focal length 20 cm forms a real image at 30 cm from the lens. The object distance is:

  • (A) 60 cm
  • (B) 12 cm
  • (C) 15 cm
  • (D) 10 cm
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{u} \] \[ \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{60}\Rightarrow u=60\ cm \] Quick Tip: Use lens formula carefully with sign convention.


Question 4:

The half-life of a radioactive element is 8 days. The fraction remaining after 32 days is:

  • (A) \(1/2\)
  • (B) \(1/4\)
  • (C) \(1/8\)
  • (D) \(1/16\)
Correct Answer: (D)
View Solution

\[ 32\ days = 4\ half-lives \Rightarrow \left(\frac12\right)^4=\frac1{16} \] Quick Tip: Remaining fraction = \((1/2)^n\).


Question 5:

The oxidation number of Cr in \( \mathrm{K_2Cr_2O_7} \) is:

  • (A) +3
  • (B) +6
  • (C) +7
  • (D) +12
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

Oxidation state of Cr in dichromate ion is +6. Quick Tip: Chromium shows +6 oxidation state in dichromates.


Question 6:

Which of the following is a secondary alcohol?

  • (A) CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OH
  • (B) (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)CHOH
  • (C) CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)OH
  • (D) (CH\(_3\))\(_3\)COH
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

In (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)CHOH, the carbon bearing –OH is attached to two other carbons. Quick Tip: Secondary alcohol: –OH on a carbon attached to two carbons.


Question 7:

The pH of 0.01 M NaOH solution is:

  • (A) 2
  • (B) 12
  • (C) 11
  • (D) 13
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ pOH=-\log(0.01)=2 \Rightarrow pH=14-2=12 \] Quick Tip: Strong bases completely dissociate.


Question 8:

The monomer of natural rubber is:

  • (A) Isoprene
  • (B) Chloroprene
  • (C) Neoprene
  • (D) Styrene
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

Natural rubber is cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Quick Tip: Isoprene is the building block of natural rubber.


Question 9:

If \(\sin\theta+\cos\theta=\sqrt{2}\), then \(\tan\theta+\cot\theta\) is:

  • (A) 1
  • (B) 2
  • (C) \(\sqrt{2}\)
  • (D) 0
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ \sin\theta=\cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow \theta=45^\circ \] \[ \tan\theta+\cot\theta=1+1=2 \] Quick Tip: Equality of sine and cosine implies \(45^\circ\).


Question 10:

The number of terms in the expansion of \((a+b+c)^5\) is:

  • (A) 15
  • (B) 21
  • (C) 56
  • (D) 126
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ Number of terms=\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\frac{6\times7}{2}=21 \] Quick Tip: Applies to multinomial expansions.


Question 11:

The differential equation \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x}\) represents:

  • (A) Straight lines through origin
  • (B) Parabola
  • (C) Circle
  • (D) Ellipse
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ \frac{dy}{y}=\frac{dx}{x}\Rightarrow y=Cx \] Quick Tip: Solution of first-order DE gives family of curves.


Question 12:

If the vectors \(2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) and \(4\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\) are perpendicular, the value of \(\lambda\) in \(\lambda\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\) is:

  • (A) –1
  • (B) 1
  • (C) 2
  • (D) –2
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

For perpendicular vectors, \[ (\lambda,2,3)\cdot(4,-1,2)=0 \Rightarrow 4\lambda-2+6=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=-1 \] Quick Tip: Perpendicular vectors have zero dot product.
