Physics
1. a) [Impulse] = [Force × time] = [MLT–2 × T] = [MLT–1]
2. b) Let angle between A and B is θ.
Then |A+B|=|A-B|
Squaring
A2+2ABcos θ+B2= A2-2ABcos θ+B2
4ABcos θ=0
cos θ=0
θ=90 °
3. b) P=

= (1-) ×100%
= 40%
4. a) Communication satellite refers to geostationary or geo-
synchronous satellite.

It revolves in direction west to east. The revolving orbit is
called parking orbit.
5. b) Surface tension is due to intermolecular attractive force
between molecules of liquid itself.
It decreases with increase in temperature.
Viscosity of liquid decreases with increase in temperature
but viscosity of gases increases with increase in temperature.
Viscous force is due to electromagnetic attraction.
6. b) We have, Cp= 7R/2
Cp-Cv=R
Or, 7R/2 – Cv=R
Or, Cv= 5R/2

8. a) Rain appears falling making an angle θ with vertical ,

Where θ=tan-1(Vc/Vr) to front screen
9. b) H=(u2sin2θ)/g
H1=u2sin2(45-θ)/g = u2sin(90-2θ)/g = u2cos2θ/g

Chemistry
11. a) -ΔH=ΔU+P. ΔV
For expansion of ideal gas, ΔU=0
For expansion against vaccum, P. ΔV=0
Hence, ΔH=0+0=0

13. a) The oxidation number of metals in amalgams and
carbonyls is zero.
Oxidation state of neutral ligand is zero.
Maximum O.N. of an element= No. of valance electrons
Minimum O.N. of atom= No. of valance electrons - 8
14. a) In CO, O has 6 valance electrons and C has 4 valance
electrons. 2 electrons are shared between the atoms by which O
completes the octet but C has only 6 electrons i.e. 2 electrons less
to complete octet. So, it is an octet deficit stable molecule.
15. d) The pH decrease with increase in temperature, thus pH of
boiling water is 6.5 although it is neutral.
At 0 degree Celsius, a neutral solution has pH 7.5
Blood has pH 7.2 to 7.4
For acid buffer, pH=pKa and for basic buffer, pOH=pKb.

16. a) he principal quantum number (n) cannot be zero. The
allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
The angular quantum number (l) can be any integer
between 0 and n-1. If n=3, then l can either be 0, 1 or 2.
The magnetic quantum number (m) can be any integer
between –l and +l. If l=2, then m can be either -2, -1, 0, +1 or +2.
17. b) S + O2 -----------------------› SO2
32g 22.4 L at NTP
32 g of S react with 22.4 L of O2 at NTP.
4 g of S react with 22.4/32*4= 2.8 L at NTP
18. b) Exothermic reaction proceed with the evolution of heat
because the heat content of the reactant is more than that of
product.
19. c)
20. c) For Sodium,
Na + IE1 -------› Na+ + e-
Na+ + IE2 -------› Na++ + e-
Electronic configuration of Na+
=1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2
=full filled (stable)
As sodium atom acquires stable electronic configuration
after removing the most loosely bound electron, so it is much
difficult to remove an electron from Na +, hence second ionization
potential is highest for sodium.
21. d) 17g NH3 has 4NA atoms (1 of N and 3 of H)

22. d) Heat treatment of steel:

#Hardening/Quenching: heating of steel upto redness and

chilling in cold water

#Annealing: cooling down red hot steel slowly

#Tempering: heating steel below red hot and cooling

down slowly (hardening followed by annealing)

#Case hardening: heating iron with charcoal followed by

quenching in oil

#Nitriding: heating steel in atmosphere of ammonia

23. b) Optical isomerism is shown by compounds containing

asymmetric (Chiral ) carbon

Chiral carbon is C atom containing 4 different groups or

atoms attached to it.

No. of optical isomers= 2n (n= number of chiral carbon)

24. c) Calomel= Hg2Cl2

25. c) When NH3 is in excess,

8 NH3 + 3 Cl2 -------------› 6NH4Cl + N2

But when Cl2 is in excess,

NH3 + 3 Cl2 -------------› NCl3 + 3HCl

Botany

temperature according to the temperature change of surroundings.
The animals which can alter their body temperature in
response to the temperature change of surroundings are called cold-

hibernation.

water for breeding. E.g. sea herring

breeding. E.g. gobies

grows older. Correction= bifocal lens

Myopia is when image is formed in front of the retina.
Correction= convex lens
Astigmatism is due to irregular curvature of the lens.
Correction= Cylindrical lens

language etc. were initiated by Neanderthal man.
