response which you want to mark on the Answer Sheet. In case, you feel that there is more than one correct response,
mark the response which you consider the best. In any case, choose ONLY ONE response for each item.

4. You have to mark all your responses ONLY on the separate Answer Sheet provided. See directions in the Answer
Sheet.

5. All items carry equal marks

6. Before you proceed to mark in the Answer Sheet the response to various items in the Test Booklet, you have to fill in
some particulars in the Answer Sheet as per instructions sent to you with your Admission Certificate.

8. Sheets for rough work are appended in the Test Booklet at the end.

9. Penalty for wrong answers:

THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS MARKED BY A CANDIDATE.
(i) There are four alternatives for the answer to every question. For each question for which a wrong answer has been
given by the candidate, one-third of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty.
(ii) If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one of the given answers
happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as above to that question.
(iii) If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question.

69. Statement (I): A helium filled balloon
released from ground goes up till it reaches
a certain elevation and floats in the air.
Statement (II): With increase in height
from earth surface, air density decreases and
at certain height it will be equal to density
of helium inside balloon.
70. Statement (I): Tides are stronger due to
moon as compared to sun.
Statement (II): The gravitational attraction
due to moon on the surface of earth is more
than that due to sun.
71. Statement (I): If a body cools down from
65C to 60C in 5 minutes, it will take same
time to cool down from 60C to 55C.
Statement (II): In unsteady state heat
transfer, temperature profile inside the body
is exponential.
72. Statement (I): The main drawback of the
solar PV cell is its cost.
Statement (II): Cost of solar PV can be
decreased by shifting towards
polycrystaline solar PV cell.

73. Statement (I): For a process to be
reversible, it should occur in a very slow
manner without any net effect on system or
surrounding.
Statement (II): All quasi static processes
are reversible.
74. Statement (I): Vertical axis wind turbines
use only drag force to produce power.
Statement (II): Savonius Rotor uses the
drag component of force to pump the water.
75. Statement (I): For 1-D, steady heat
conduction with heat generation in slab,
cylinder and sphere, temperature profile
will be parabolic for all the geometries.
Statement (II): For parabolic temperature
profile in different geometries with heat
generation, thermal conductivity of the
material will vary linearly with temperature.
