on verge of rolling r
mg max
In the limiting case mg will act along normal reaction. For max , the football is about to
roll, then N2 = 0 and all the forces (mg and N1) must pass through contact point. So,
max

2. A light disc made of aluminium (a nonmagnetic material) is kept horizontally and is
free to rotate about its axis as shown in the figure. A strong magnet is held vertically at
a point above the disc away from its axis. On revolving the magnet about the axis of the
disc, the disc will (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)
(A) rotate in the direction opposite to the direction of magnet’s motion

(B) rotate in the same direction as the direction of magnet’s motion
(C) not rotate and its temperature will remain unchanged
(D) not rotate but its temperature will slowly rise
Answer: B
Solution:
Top View Magnet
Al
By Lenz's law, the disc also tries to move in same direction because in the backward
part of disc the flux reduces as magnet moves and as there is change in magnetic flux,
so there is eddy current production which leads to production of heat. These currents
are such that it opposes the relative motion. So, disc will rotate in the direction of
rotation of magnet.

3. A small roller of diameter 20 cm has an axle of diameter 10 cm (see figure below on the
left). It is on a horizontal floor and a meter scale is positioned horizontally on its axle
with one edge of the scale on top of the axle (see figure on the right). The scale is now
pushed slowly on the axle so that it moves without slipping on the axle, and the roller
starts rolling without slipping. After the roller has moved 50 cm, the position of the
scale will look like (figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)

Answer: B
Solution:
 In this case pure rolling without slipping,
Let radius of roller is R and radius of axle is r.
x=0 x=75cm
A V
v
 As we know, v = r
Now from the figure,
v −R = 0
v = R
v
v = 10   =

Diameter
 Radius =

Velocity of point (A) = v+ r
Now, put the values of  and r,
v

So distance moved by point of contact
= 1.5×50 cm = 75 cm

4. A circular coil of radius R and N turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the
schematic figure, its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those
wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge
Q through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field Bo parallel to the
plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the capacitor gets discharged through the
coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully, magnitude of the
angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so
short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)

(B)𝜋𝑁𝑄𝐵𝑜𝑅2
(C) 2𝜋𝑁𝑄𝐵𝑜𝑅2
(D) 4𝜋𝑁𝑄𝐵𝑜𝑅2
Answer: B

Solution:

After closing switch, within fraction of seconds entire charge flows through coil and
produces impulsive torque.
Now, change in Angular momentum 
 dt = L ….. (1)
 = M B
Where, M = Magnetic moment
B = Magnetic field
M = Ni (R2)
 = MB sin90° MB  (NiR2) Bo
 sin 90° = 1
Put all the values in equation (1),
 NiR B dt = L

0
 NR2 Bo  idt =L
According to question  idt =Q
 NR2 Bo Q = L
 NQBoR2=L

5. A parallel beam of light strikes a piece of transparent glass having cross section as
shown in the figure below. Correct shape of the emergent wavefront will be (figures

(A) (B) (C) (D)
Answer: A
Solution:
Light Glass
Air
Concept: based on Huygen's principle.

Theory of wavefront → wave moves such that direction of propagation is
perpendicular to wavefront.
And as we can see that light ray will travel more in air than glass medium. And if glass
medium is more than wave front will slack. So, shape of the emergent wavefront will be

6. An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density 103kg
m−3). Initially the water level stands at 0.29 m from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene
oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density 800 kg m−3 is added to the left arm until its

A B
 Pressure will be same at same horizontal level,
PA = PB (Same horizontal level)
Patm + kerog  0.1 + wg(h1 − 0.1) = Patm + wgh2
Where, Patm = Atmospheric pressure
kero = density of kerosene = 800 kg/m3
w= density of water = 1000 kg/m3
g = acceleration due to gravity.
As we know, pressure force due to liquid column = gh
 800  0.1 + 1000(h1 − 0.1) = 1000h2
 0.8 + 10h1 − 1 = 10h2
 10(h1 − h2 ) = 0.2 ... (1)
h1 – h2 = 0.02
Also, initial level of water in both arms = 2×0.29
 h1 − 0.1 + h2 = 0.58
h1 + h2 = 0.68 .... (2)
From (1) & (2)
h1 = 0.35 & h2 = 0.33

h1 35
So =
h2 33

expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of
different quantities are given in terms of a quantity X as follows: [position] = [𝑋𝛼];
[speed] = [𝑋𝛽]; [acceleration] =[𝑋𝑝]; [linear momentum] = [𝑋𝑞]; [force] = [𝑋𝑟]. Then

Its inner radius is R1 and outer radius is R2. If a voltage V0 is applied between its two
ends, a current I flows in it. In addition, it is observed that a transverse voltage ∆𝑉
develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving
electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is

from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules
to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two

13. Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one
at 0.00 cm and the right one at 90.00 cm. When you attempt to move both the fingers
slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale
and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right
one start slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance 𝑥𝑅 from the center (50.00
cm) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the
difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and
dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are 0.40 and 0.32, respectively, the

glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate h just before water starts
flowing, model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness h having
semicircular edges, as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water
at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the
water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of
water, its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are 103kg m−3, 0.07 Nm−1

the origin (0, 0). A point particle of mass m carrying a positive charge q is attached at
its other end. The entire system is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. When a point
dipole 𝑝 pointing towards the charge q is fixed at the origin, the spring gets stretched
to a length l and attains a new equilibrium position (see figure below). If the point mass

8. Let M be a 3 × 3 invertible matrix with real entries and let I denote the 3 × 3 identity
matrix. If 𝑀−1 = adj (adj 𝑀), then which of the following statements is/are ALWAYS
TRUE?
(A) 𝑀 = 𝐼
(B) det 𝑀 = 1
(C) 𝑀2 = 𝐼
(D) (adj 𝑀)2 = 𝐼
Answer: B, C, D
Solution:
M–1 = adj(adj(M))
(adj M)M–1 = (adjM)(adj(adj(M)))
(adj M)M–1 = N. adj(N) { Let adj(M) = N }
(adj M)M–1 = |N|I
(adjM)M–1 = |adj(M)|I3
(adjM) = |M|2 .M ............(1)
|adj M| = ||M|2.M|
|M|2 = |M6|.|M|
|M|=1, M  0
From equation (1)

adj.M =M ............(2)
Multiply by matrix M
M.adj M = M2
|M|I3 = M2
M2 = I
From (2) adj M =M
(adj M)2 = M2 = I

 z2 + z  2
 z2 − z  z2 + z  2
 r2 − r  2
 r =| z| 2;z  S
Also we can always fine root of the equation 𝑧2 + 𝑧 + 1=ei R
Hence set 'S' is infinite.

For a polynomial 𝑓, let 𝑓and 𝑓 denote its first and second order derivatives,
respectively. Then the minimum possible value of (𝑚𝑓 + 𝑚𝑓), where 𝑓 ∈ 𝑆, is _____
Answer: 5.00
Solution:
f(x) = (x2 – 1)2h(x); h(x) = a0 +a1x +a2x2+ a3x3
Now, f(1) = f(–1) = 0
 f'() = 0,  (–1,1) [Rolle's Theorem]
Also, f'(1) = f'(–1) = 0  f'(x) = 0 has atleast3 root –1, ,1 with –1 << 1
 f"(x) = 0 will have at least 2 root, say  such that
–1 <       [Rolle's Theorem]
So, min ( mf " ) = 2

 In this case pure rolling without slipping,

Let radius of roller is R and radius of axle is r.

Now from the figure,

Velocity of point (A) = v+ r

Now, put the values of  and r,

So distance moved by point of contact

produces impulsive torque.

Now, change in Angular momentum 

 dt = L ….. (1)

Where, M = Magnetic moment

Put all the values in equation (1),

 NR2 Bo  idt =L

According to question  idt =Q

 Pressure will be same at same horizontal level,

PA = PB (Same horizontal level)

Patm + kerog  0.1 + wg(h1 − 0.1) = Patm + wgh2

Where, Patm = Atmospheric pressure

kero = density of kerosene = 800 kg/m3

w= density of water = 1000 kg/m3

g = acceleration due to gravity.

As we know, pressure force due to liquid column = gh

 800  0.1 + 1000(h1 − 0.1) = 1000h2

 0.8 + 10h1 − 1 = 10h2

 10(h1 − h2 ) = 0.2 ... (1)

Also, initial level of water in both arms = 2×0.29

h1 + h2 = 0.68 .... (2)

From (1) & (2)

h1 = 0.35 & h2 = 0.33
