Question: A chord is tied to a wheel of moment of inertia I and radius r. The other end is
attached to a mass ‘m’ as shown. If the mass ‘m’ falls by a height ‘h’ then the square of
angular of speed of the wheel is?

Options:

2mgh
(b)
I + mr 2
2mgh
(c)
2 I + mr 2

(d)
2 I + mr 2
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Considering no slipping between chord and wheel and considering no energy loss due to
friction.
So, by Energy Conservation:-
1 2 1 2
mgh
= mv + I ω

(b)
25mH
4hR
(c)
25 mH
24hR
(d)
25mH
Answer: (d)
Solution:
Energy released during transition of e − from n = 5 to n = 1
 1  −1  
⇒ E = E5 − E1 = Rhc  − 2 −  2  
 ( 5 )  (1)  
  
24
⇒ E = Rhc ... ( i )
25
So momentum of Photon released would be:-
⇒ E= mc 2= ( mc ) .c= p.c
Using equation (i)
E 24
⇒ p= = Rh
c 25
So Recoil velocity of H-atom would be:
By conservation of linear Momentum.

Question: Statement 1: A seconds pendulum, has a time period of 1 second.

Statement 2: It takes precisely 1 second to move between the two extreme position.
Options:
(a) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
(b) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true
(c) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false
(d) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is false
Answer: (a)
Solution:
[Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true]
A seconds pendulum is a pendulum whose period is precisely two seconds; one second for
a swing in one direction and one second for the return swing.
So it will take 1 second to move between two extreme positions.
Thus statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

Question: Velocity v/s position graph of a body performing SHM is

Options:

Question: A body starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration a, for time t1, then it
retards uniformly with a2 in time t2. Find t1/t2.
Options:
a
(a) 1
a2
a
(b) 2
a1
(c) 1
(d) None of these
Answer: (b)
Solution:
For acceleration period,
u 0,=
= v u=, a a1=, t t1
v
So, v = u = at ⇒ v = 0 + a1t1 ⇒ t1 = …(i)
a1
For retardation period,
u= v, v =0, a =−a2 , t =t2
v
So, v = u + at ⇒ 0 = v − a2t2 , ⇒ t2 = …(ii)
a2
On dividing equation (i) by (ii) →

Tl +T l
(c) 1 1 2 2
T1 + T2
Tl +T l
(d) 1 2 2 1
T1 + T2
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Let the natural length of wire be l0 .
 Tl0
Using Hooke’s law, Y =
A∆l
Where ∆l = l − l0
Tl
We get l − l0 = 0
AY
Case 1: Tension T1 and length of wire l = l1
Tl
∴ l1 − l0 =1 0 .... (1)
AY
Case 2: Tension is T2 and length of wire l = l2
Tl
∴ l2 − l0 =2 0 ... ( 2 )
AY
l −l T
Dividing both equations 1 0 = 1
l2 − l0 T2
l1T2 − l2T1
⇒ l0 =
T2 − T1

1. Find maximum value of ( PA ) + ( PB ) .
2 2 2 2

Answer: 53.00
Solution:
Let P (1 + cos θ ,1 + sin θ )

∴ PA2 + PB 2 = cos 2 θ + ( sin θ − 3) + cos 2 θ + ( sin θ + 6 )

2 2

= 2 cos 2 θ + 2sin 2 θ + 6sin θ + 45

= 47 + 6sin θ
So, it will be maximum when sin θ = 1

∴ ( PA2 + PB 2 ) = 47 + 6 = 53

Question: How many four digit numbers are there where g.c.d. with 18 is ‘3’.
Options:

Answer: 1000.00
Solution:
Number of required numbers
= 4 digit numbers divisible by 3 – 4 digit numbers divisible by 6 – 4 digit numbers divisible
by 9 + 4digit numbers divisible by 18
= 3000 – 1500 – 1000 + 200
