Q34_On the basis ofthe experimont, "To trace tho path of @ ray of ight through a rectangular gla sla, students ofa class arrived at which ono of the folowing conclusions? (A) Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of emergence (6) Angle of emergence is smal than the ange of refraction (©) Emergent ray is paral to the retracted ry. (0) Incident ray and emergent ray are paral! fo each other. Solution: “Tho correct conclusion is thatthe incidant ray and emergent ray are always parallel to each othor Hence, the correct option is D. 32 Study the folowing four experimental set-ups | I Ill and 1V forthe experiment, "To trace the path ofa ray of ight through a rectanguiar glass slab.” P, Ps ur W ‘Which of the marked set-ups is likely to give best resuts (Py and P2 are the positions of pins fixed on the incident ray)? an wil coi ov Solution: Experiment I will gv the best result bocaus it has the largest ang of incidence, dus to which the lateral displacement between the incident ray ‘and emergent ray will be maximum nce, the correct option is B @33_You aro asked by your teachor to study the ciffrent pars ofan embryo ofa gram Sood. Given bolow aro tho stops to be followed for tha ‘experiment |'Soak the gram seeds in pain water and keep them overnight IL Cut open a soaked soed and obsone its diferent pats IN. Take some dry gram seeds ina pet dish IN. Drain the excess water. \. Cover the soaked seods with @ wet cotton clth and leave them for a day The correct sequence of these steps is (yi VN (8), LN. (OHV, LI OMI Solution: First of all take some dry gram seeds in a pet dish. Then, soak the seeds in plain water and keep them overnight. Drain the excess water Alter ‘that, cover the soaked seeds with a wet cotton clolh and leave them fora day. Finaly, cut open a soaked seed and observe is diferent pats Hence, the correct option is D. 34 Four students P, Q, R and S differently reported the folowing set of organs to be analogous P Foro ofa fog and forlim ofa lizard (Q_Forelimb ofa bird and forelimb of a human R. Wings of a parrot and wings ofa buttery S Wings of a bird and wings of a bat The two students who have reported correctly are (A) Panda (@)QandR ()RandS (0)P ands. Solution: ‘Organs that are diferent in origin bot similar in function are known as analogous organs ‘Examples of analogous orzans: (@) Wings oF a pant and wings ofa buttery (Gi Wings ofa bird and wings ofa bat ‘Thus, the nwo sudents who have sepoted correctly are R and S. Hence the correct option is C £35, Which one of he folowing pars of vegetabies isan example of homotogous structures? (A) Potato and sweet potato (6) Carot and radish {) Carrot and tomato (©) Tomato and radish Solution: Hlowologov tars ar sma in origin but perform direst functions Carrot and radish are underground root. So, they cepetet the oes hotologos Hence the correct option is B £036 entiy tne figures showing the process of budding in yeast 2 Q 29 ye’ ty ed w @)I, Mand (8)1i, land iv (OL and v (ODI, Vand | Solution: {UL IV and 1 are showing the proces of budding in yeast. During budding ina yeas, a single cell develops a protrusion, wherein the nucleus divides to give rte to two daughter nuclei. One ofthe daughter nuclei ‘mierates into 2 prorasion to form 2 bud. This bud then grows in size and may undergo budding while attached to the parent cell Thus, budding results in chain ofcele. “Ts, th comet opion iD. 37 Stuty the folowing diagrams showing various stages of binary fission in Amoctat SAPOE® The correct sequence of these diagrams should be LMI ILY (BLN VIL. (UMMA OLLI Solution: During binary fission, the nuceus of the parent cell elongates and divides italy. Then a constriction stats to appear on the cell membrane, the ‘constriction starts widening and finally divides the parent cel into two almost equal halves or daughter cells. The daughter cells are identical to the Parent coll Hence, the correct option is B Q38 A student takes about 6 ml of distiled water in each ofthe four test tubes P,Q, R and S. He then dissolves an equal amount of four diferent salts amy, sodium chide iP, potassium chiorde in, calcium chlondoin'R’ and magnesium chiordo in’ Next he then adds 10 drops of ‘soap solution to each test tube and shakes ils contents, The fst tubes in which scum (insoluble substance) i formed wit soap are ()Penda (8)QandR (C)R ands (0)Qends Solution: ‘Scum is formed by reaction of soap with calcium and magnesium salts in wale. Test tubes R and $ contain calcium chloride and magnesium chioride, respectively. Therefore, scum willbe formed in these two tubes, Hence, the correct option is C. 39 A student adds a few drops of ethanoic acid to test tubes X, ¥ and Z containing aqueous solutions of sodium chlonde, sodium hydroxide and ‘sodium carbonate, respectively. fhe now brings a burring Splinter near the mouth ofthe test tubes immediately aller adding ethanoic acid in ‘each one of them, in which ofthe test tube or tas tubes the fame will be extinguished? (A) Xand ¥ (B)Y and Z (C)XandZ (0) only Z Solution: ‘Tho chemical reactions in test tubes X, Y and Z.can be wrtton as Test tube X: CH3COOH + NaCl -+No roaction Test tte ¥ CH3COOH + NaQH -+CH3COONa + #0 Test tute 2 ‘2. CH3COOH + NagCO3 +2 CH3COONa + CO? + H20 Thus, the flame willbe extinguished when test tube Z is brought near @ burning splinter due fo evolution of carbon dioxide gas, which does not ‘support combustion. Hence, the correct option is D. 40 When you add about 2 mi of acetic acid toa test tube containing an equal amount of dstiled water and leave the test tube fo settle afer shaking its contents, what will you observe inthe test tube after about 5 minutes? (4) A white precipitate setting a its bottom (8) A clear colourless solution (C) A layer of wator over the layer of acetic acid (0) A layer of acetic acid over the layer of water Solution: ‘When acetic acd and distiled water are mixed, they form a clear solution because acetic acid is completely miscible with water. Hence, the correct option is B @41_ In order to study saponification reaction, we frst prepare 20% solution of sodium hydroxide. If we record the temperature ofthis soluton just after adding sodium hydroxide flakes to water and also testis nature using litmus, it may be concluded thatthe process of making this solution is. (A) exothermic and the solution is alkaline (B) ondothormic and the solution is alkaino (©) endothermic and the solution is acidic (0) exothermic and the solution is acidic Solution: Dissolution of sodium hydroxide in wator evolves large amount of heat. Thus, itis an exothermic reaction. Since sodium hydroxide is a baso, its ‘solution in water willbe alkaline when tested wih iimus paper (rd imu turns blue). Hnce, the corract option is A. @42_ While studying saponification reaction forthe preparation of soap, a teacher suggested toa student to adda small quantity of common sat fo the reaction mosture. The function of common sait inthis reaction i to (A) reduce the alkalinity of the soap (8) reduce the acidity of the soap (C) enhance the cleansing capacity of soap (©) favour procipitation of soap Solution: ‘Common saitis added in saponification reaction, as it helps in the precipitation of soap by decreasing the solubilty of soap once, the correct option is D.
