Q 3. The area of the region bounded by the curve y = x3, y = x + 6 and x = 0 is
Options:
(a) 10 sq units
(b) 11 sq units
(c) 12 sq units

Ans. Option (a) is correct
Explanation:
Consider, y = x3, y = x + 6 and x = 0

Now, we find the point of intersection of these two curves
We have x3 = x + 6
 x3  x = 6
 x3  x 6 = 0
 x2(x  2) + 2x(x  2) + 3(x  2) = 0
 (x  2) (x2 + 2x + 3) = 0
 x = 2, with two imaginary points

Q 4. A first order reaction is 50% completed in 2.12  1012 s. How much time would it take for
100% completion?
Options:
(a) 1.06  1012 s

(b) 4.24  1024 s
(c) Infinite
(d) 2.12  1012 s
Explanation:
The time taken for half the reaction to complete, i.e., the time in which the concentration of a
reactant is reduced to half of its original value is called half-life period of the reaction.
But it is impossible to perform 100% of the reaction. Whole of the substance never reacts because
in every half-life, 50% of the substance reacts. Hence, time taken for 100% completion of a
reaction is infinite.
Q 5. For the first order reaction, 2N2O5(g)  4NO2(g) + O2(g)
Options:
(a) The concentration of the reactant increases with time

(b) The half-life of the reaction increases with increasing temperature
(c) The half-life of the reaction is independent of initial concentration of the reactant
(d) The reaction proceeds of 99.6% completion in eight half-life duration
Explanation:
Option (a)
For a first order reaction,
 A ]  [ A0 e kt …(i)
where,
[A] = concentration of reactant remaining after time t
[A0] = initial concentration
From equation (i) we can conclude that concentration of reactant decreases exponentially with
time.
Option (b)
Half-life of the reaction can be given as:
In 2
t1 2 
k
where,
k = Rate constant
t1/2 = Half-life
Also rise in temperature increases with rate constant (k).
So, rise in temperature increases rate constant (k) and therefore decreases half-life.
Option (c)
Half-life of first order reaction is independent of initial concentration.
Option (d)
Let initially the reactant is 100 moles.
For a first order reaction,
n
1
 % A  100  

where, n = number of half lives
After 8 half lives amount of A remaining is

1
% A  100    0.3906

So, the amount of A reacted is 100 − 0.3906 = 99.6%
6th Mar, 2018: 5 Important Questions of Laws of Motion for JEE Main 2018.
Q 1. A ball of mass (m) 1 kg is attached to the end of a string having length (L) 1 m. The ball is
rotated on a horizontal circular path about vertical axis. The maximum tension that the string
can bear is 289 N. The maximum possible value of angular velocity of ball (in radian/s) is
Options:
(a) 9
(b) 18
(c) 17
(d) 18
Explanation:
Tension will provide necessary centripetal force to the ball.

T  ml 2
289  11  2
 2  289
  17 rad/s
Q 2. A small block of mass of 0.1 kg lies on a fixed inclined plane PQ which makes an
angle θ with the horizontal. A horizontal force of 1 N acts on the block through its centre of mass
as shown in the figure. The block remains stationary if (take g = 10 m/s2)
Options:
(a)   45
(b)   45 and a frictional force acts on the block towards P
(c)   45 and a frictional force acts on the block towards Q
(d) None of these
Explanation:
Let F1 be the component of weight and F2 be the component of force 1 N.

F1  mg cos  90     mg sin   0.110sin   sin 
F2  cos 
At   45
F1 = F2
So, no friction will be required to keep the block stationary.
At   45
F1 > F2
So, frictional force will act toward Q.
  45
F1 < F2
So, frictional force will act toward P.
Q 3. In the figure, a ladder of mass m is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium
making an angle  with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the
ladder is 1 and that between the floor and the ladder is  2 . The normal reaction of the wall on the
ladder is N1 and that of the floor is N2. If the ladder is about to slip, then
Options:

(a) 1  0, 2  0 and N 2 tan  
2

(b) 1  0, 2  0 and N1 tan  
2

(c) 1  0, 2  0 and N 2 
1  12
(d) 1  0, 2  0 and N1 tan   mg
Explanation:
Since rod is about to slip so both frictions will be limiting

f1  1 N1
f 2  2 N 2
In option (a) and (d) 1 and  2 are 0
Net torque about A should be zero to maintain the position
l
mg cos   N1 sin  l
2
mg cot 
 N1 
2
mg
 N1 tan  

and N2  mg
In (b),  2 = 0
There is no force to balance N1 so rod cannot remain in equilibrium.
(c) N1  2 N2
N 2  12 N 2  mg
mg
N2 
1  12
Q 4. Given in the figure are two blocks A and B of weight 20 N and 100 N, respectively. These
are being pressed against a wall by a force F as shown. If the coefficient of friction
between the blocks is 0.1 and between block B and the wall is 0.15, the frictional force applied
by the wall on block B is :
Options:
(a) 100 N
(b) 80 N
(c) 120 N
(d) 150 N
Explanation:
For block A,
m1 g  1F
20  0.1 F
20
F   200
0.1
Frictional force on block A will be in upward direction and it will be equals to 20N.
So, block A will exert a frictional force of 20 N on block B in downward direction.
So, for block B
2 F  m2 g  1F
 100  20  120 N

Let C be the centre of the circle. So, the coordinates of the centre of the circle is C (3, 2).
Since CA and CB are perpendicular to PA and PB, CP is the diameter of the circumcircle of

 x 1 x  3   y  8 y  2  0

Options:
(a) x2  6x  10y + 14 = 0
(b) x2 10x  6y + 14 = 0
(c) y2  6 x  10y + 14 = 0
(d) y2  10x  6y + 14 = 0
Explanation:
We have x2 + y2  6x  6y + 14 = 0
x2  6 x  9  y 2  6 y  9  4  0
x2  6 x  9  y 2  6 y  9  4
 x  32   y  32  22
So, the centre and the radius of the given circle are:
Centre: (3, 3)
Radius: 2 units
Let the centre of the circle which touches externally the given circle be  g , f 
According to distance formula,
The distance between point  g , f  and (3, 3) is  g  3   f  3

2 2
Equation of a circle passing through a point (0, 2) and touching line x = 0 is:
 x  0   y  2   x  0
2 2
…(i)
The circle also passes through (−1, 0)
1 4    0
 5
Putting the value of  in equation (i), we get
 x  0   y  2  5x  0

Given, Molarity of acetic acid solution = 2.00 M
Therefore, Number of moles of acetic acid in 1 L solution = 2.00 mol
Thus, Mass of acetic acid in 1L solution = Number of moles of solute × Molar mass of solute
= 2.00 × 60 = 120 g
Now, given density of the solution = 1.00 g mL−1
Therefore, mass of solution = density of solution × volume of solution
= 1.00 × 1000 = 1000g
Thus mass of solvent = Mass of solution – mass of solute = 1000 – 120 = 880 g = 0.880 Kg
Number of moles of solute 2.00
Hence, Molality of solution = = = = 2.27 mol Kg 1
Mass of solvent  in Kg  0.880
Q 5. How many grams of concentrated nitric acid should be used to prepare 350 mL of 4.0 M
