questions and based upon the second paragraph 2 multiple choice questions have to be
answered. Each of these questions has four choices A), B), C), D) out of which ONLY
ONE is correct.
Paragraph for Questions 14 to 16
Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several
countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite (CuSO4 5H2O), atacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3), cuprite
(Cu2O), copper glance (Cu2S) and malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3). However, 80% of the world copper
production comes from the ore chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite
involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than
the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes
such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance. A simple model for such
a concentration cell involving a metal M is:
M(s) | M+ (aq; 0.05 molar) ||M+ (aq; 1 molar) | M(s)
For the above electrolytic cell the magnitude of the cell potential |Ecell| = 70 mV.

For the above cell

(A) Ecell < 0; G > 0
(B) Ecell > 0; G < 0
(C) Ecell < 0; G > 0
(D) Ecell > 0; G < 0
(B)
Ecell = 0.0591 log 0.05 = +ve as Ecell is +ve so G is less than zero.
If the 0.05 molar solution of M+ is replaced by a 0.0025 molar M+ solution, then the
magnitude of the cell potential would be
(A) 35 mV
(B) 70mV
(C) 140mV
(D) 700 mV
(C)
As 0.0591 log 0.05 = 70 mV
0.0591 log 0.0025 = 140 mV

Let p be an odd prime number and Tp be the following set of 2 2 matrices:
a b
Tp = A =
: a , b, c {0,1, 2 ,..., p 1}
c a
The number of A in Tp such that A is either symmetric or skew-symmetric or both, and det
(A) divisible by p is
(B) 2(p 1)
(A) (p 1)2
(D) 2p 1
(C) (p 1)2 + 1
(D)
If A is symmetric then det(A) = a2 b2 = (a b)(a + b)
As it is divisible by p
either (a b) = 1p or (a + b) = 2p
a = b or a + b = p
hence a = b has p number of solution
and a + b = p has (p 1) number of solution
Total solution = 2p 1.
The number of A in Tp such that the trace of A is not divisible by p but det (A) is divisible
by p is
[Note: The trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal entries.]
(B) p3 (p 1)2
(A) (p 1)(p2 p + 1)
(D) (p 1)(p2 2)
(C) (p 1)2
(C)
For the ordered pair (b, c) we have total (p 1)2 choices.
(p 1) 2

In
2
(p 1) 2
p, and for remaining
choices there exists no value of a for which (a2 bc) is a
2
multiple of p.
Hence total no. of choices for the triplet (a, b, c) such that a 0 and a2 bc is multiple of
(p 1) 2
p, is
2 = (p 1) 2 .
2
The number of A in Tp such that det (A) is not divisible by p is
(B) p3 5p
(A) 2p2
3
(D) p3 p2
(C) p 3p
(D)
Total no. of matrices = p3
total no. of matrices, whose det (A) is divisible by p but trace not zero = (p 1)2
17
(SOLUTION 2010)
Total no. of matrices having trace zero and whose det(A) is divisible by p = 2p 1
As trace (A) = 0
2a = 0 a = 0
now a2 bc = p
bc = p
bc = 0
b = 0 or c = 0
Note for b = 0, c has p choices (namely 0, 1, 2, p-1)
Similarly for c = 0, b has the choices 1, 2, ., p 1.
Total choices for b & c = p + p 1 = 2p 1
Hence, total number of required matrices
p3 (p 1)2 (2p 1) = p3 p2

Equation of a common tangent with positive slope to the circle as well as to the hyperbola

Let the tangent be
(x 4) cos + y sin = 4
y = cot (x 4 ) + 4 cos ec
y = ( cot )x + 4(cot + cos ec )

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as
TC (B)
superconductors, changes abruptly from a non zero
value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a TC (0)
critical temperature TC(0). An interesting property of
superconductors is that their critical temperature
becomes smaller than TC(0) if they are placed in a
magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC(B) is a
O
function of the magnetic field strength B. The
dependence of TC(B) on B is shown in the figure.

Paragraph for Question 50 to 52.
When liquid medicine of density is to be put in the eye. It is done with the help of a
dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of
the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop
formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface
energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension
T when the radius of the drop is R. When this force becomes smaller than the weight of
the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
V=

Paragraph for question 53 to 55
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of
angular-momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to
a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule
assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
