Question: Find the flux through shaded region, due to a charge Q placed at a vertex of a
cube.

Options:
Q
(a)

Q
(b)
8 ∈0
Q
(c)

Q
(d)

Answer: (c)
Solution:
If we assume that 8 cubes are placed in such a way that charge Q placed at one corner of the
cube is at the centre of those all, then flux passing through one cube will be
Q
8ε0

And now, of the given cube three surfaces are in directly contact with the given charge.
Q
So, flux through these three surfaces will be zero that means flux will pass through
8ε0
remaining 3 surfaces.
Q
So, flux through each one of these surface = .

Question: If A × B = B × A . Then find the angle between A & B ?

Options:
(a) Zero
(b) 180°
(c) 360°
(d) All of the above
Answer: (d)
Solution:
We have
 
A× B = AB sin θ . n

It is given that
   
A× B = B × A
This will be possible only if
 
A× B = 0

Then AB sin θ = 0

A ≠0& B ≠0

sin θ = 0
θ = nπ
Where nε I

Then θ = 0, 180 , 360 ………

Therefore all options are correct. Means (d) option is correct.

Answer: (b)
Solution:
Here two springs are connected with mass m in such a way that elongation in one spring will
be equal to contraction in other. So,
Both springs are in parallel.
So, K eq = 2 K + 2 K = 4 K

Question: STATEMENT 1 : There are equal degrees of freedom for translational and
Rotational motion in a diatomic ideal gas.
STATEMENT 2 : Rotational motion of diatomic molecules follows maxwell distribution.
Options:
(a) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement
1.
(b) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true
(c) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is false
(d) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of
statement 1.
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Diatomic molecules generally have 5 degree of freedom at low temperature, we can ignore
vibrational motion.
So, it have 2-rotational degree of freedom and 3- translational degree of freedom .
And rotational motion of diatomic molecules does not follow maxwell distribution.
So, both statements are wrong.

Question: If 1 − 2i is a root of Z 2 + α z + β =
0 then find α − β
Options:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer: ()
Solution:
 1 − 2i is the root of z 2 + α z + β

∴ (1 − 2i ) + α (1 − 2i ) + β =
2
0

1 − 4 − 4i + α − 2iα + β =0

(α + β − 3) − i ( 4 + 2α ) =
0

∴ 2α + 4 =0 ⇒ α =−2
α + β −3 = 0 ⇒ β = 5
Thus, α − β =−7

Question: A is a 3 × 3 matrix and A = 4. Operation R2 → 2 R2 + R3 is applies on 2A to get

new matrix B. Find B
Options:
(a) 16
(b) 64
(c) 80
(d) 128
Answer: (b)
Solution:
 A =4
∴ 2 A = 8 × 4 = 32 { 3 × 3 matrix}
To apply the operation R2 → 2 R2 + R3 , second row should be divided by 2 to get B .

(b) If you do not earn money then you work hard
(c) If you earn money then you work hard
(d) If you earn money then you don’t work hard
Answer: (a)
Solution:
Contrapositive of p → q is  q → p
Hence, contrapositive of given statement is “If we will not earn money, then we do not work

 Question: A number is selected from 4 digit natural numbers containing exactly one digit as
‘7’. Find the probability that number when divided by ‘5’ leaves remainder ‘2’.
Options:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Answer: ()
Solution:
Total number of 4-digit natural number containing exactly one 7 is
(a) When 7 is at first place = 1 × 9 × 9 × 9 =729
(b) When 7 is not at first place = 8 × 3 × 9 × 9 = 1944
∴ Total number of cases = 2673 (729 + 1944)
Now, A number leaves remainder ‘2’ when divided by ‘5’ only when its unit digit is ‘2’ or
‘7’
Case-I: when unit digit is 7
Number of favourable cases = 1 × 8 × 9 × 9 = 648
Case-II: when unit digit is 2
(a) when first digit is 7 ⇒ 1 × 19 × 9 = 81
(b) when first digit is not 7 ⇒ 1 × 8 × 2 × 9 = 144
∴ Total number of favourable cases = 648 + 81 + 144 = 873
favourable case
∴ Required probability =

Question: How many 2 digit natural numbers ‘x’ are there which satisfy 3x + 7 x is divisible
by ‘10’.

x x

=2  x C0 5 x + xC2 5 x − 2.22 + xC4 5 x − 4.24 + ...

Here, if x is odd, them last term will be x Cx −1 51 2 x −1
So, the number will be divisible by 10
But if x is even, then last term be 2 x
So, the number will not be divisible by 10
Hence, for all the 2 digit odd natural numbers, 3x + 7 x will be divisible by 10 and number of
2 digit odd natural numbers is 45.
