Which of the following options is correct for an object having a straight-line motion represented by the following graph?
Question diagram
A
The object moves with constantly increasing velocity from $O$ to $A$ and then it moves with constant velocity.
B
Velocity of the object increases uniformly.
C
Average velocity is zero.
D
The graph shown is impossible.

Solution

(C) In the given graph, the $t$-axis represents time and the $s$-axis represents position (displacement).
For any graph, the slope is given by $\frac{dy}{dx}$. Here, the slope is $\frac{dt}{ds} = \frac{1}{v}$, where $v$ is the velocity.
At point $D$, the position $s$ returns to $0$ at some time $t > 0$. Since the object starts from the origin ($s=0$ at $t=0$) and returns to the origin ($s=0$ at $t=t_D$), the net displacement is $\Delta s = s_{final} - s_{initial} = 0 - 0 = 0$.
Average velocity is defined as $\text{Average velocity} = \frac{\text{Total Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{0}{t_D} = 0$.
Therefore, option $C$ is correct.

When a body moves in a circular path,no work is done by the force since,
A
There is no displacement
B
There is no net force
C
Force and displacement are perpendicular to each other
D
The force is always away from the centre

Solution

(C) The work done by a force is given by the formula $W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = FS \cos \theta$,where $\theta$ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.
In uniform circular motion,the centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle,while the displacement (which is along the tangent to the path) is perpendicular to the radius.
Therefore,the angle between the force and the displacement is $\theta = 90^\circ$.
Since $\cos 90^\circ = 0$,the work done $W = FS \cos 90^\circ = 0$.

$A$ man pushes a wall and fails to displace it. He does:
A
Negative work
B
Positive but not maximum work
C
No work at all
D
Maximum work

Solution

(C) The formula for work done is $W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta)$,where $F$ is the force applied,$s$ is the displacement,and $\theta$ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
Since the man fails to displace the wall,the displacement $s = 0$.
Therefore,$W = F \cdot 0 \cdot \cos(\theta) = 0$.
Thus,the man does no work at all.

If a force $F$ is applied on a body and it moves with a velocity $v$,the power will be
A
$F \times v$
B
$F/v$
C
$F/v^2$
D
$F \times v^2$

Solution

(A) Power is defined as the rate of doing work.
$P = \frac{dW}{dt}$
Since work done $dW = F \cdot dx$,we can write:
$P = \frac{F \cdot dx}{dt}$
Since velocity $v = \frac{dx}{dt}$,substituting this into the equation gives:
$P = F \times v$
Therefore,the power is the product of force and velocity.

Kepler's second law (law of areas) is nothing but a statement of
A
Work energy theorem
B
Conservation of linear momentum
C
Conservation of angular momentum
D
Conservation of energy

Solution

(C) The area swept by a planet in a small time interval $dt$ is given by $dA = \frac{1}{2} r \cdot (r d\theta)$.
Therefore,the rate of area swept is $\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} r \left(r \frac{d\theta}{dt}\right)$.
We know that the angular momentum is $\vec{L} = m r^2 \frac{d\vec{\theta}}{dt}$.
Substituting this into the area rate equation,we get $\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2m} \left(m r^2 \frac{d\theta}{dt}\right) = \frac{L}{2m}$.
According to Kepler's $2^{nd}$ law,a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time,meaning $\frac{dA}{dt} = \text{constant}$.
Since $m$ is constant,$L$ must also be constant.
Therefore,Kepler's $2^{nd}$ law is a statement of the conservation of angular momentum.

When a weight of $10\, kg$ is suspended from a copper wire of length $3\, m$ and diameter $0.4\, mm$,its length increases by $2.4\, cm$. If the diameter of the wire is doubled,then the extension in its length will be ........ $cm$.
A
$9.6$
B
$4.8$
C
$1.2$
D
$0.6$

Solution

(D) The formula for the extension in length $(\Delta L)$ of a wire is given by $\Delta L = \frac{FL}{AY}$,where $F$ is the applied force,$L$ is the original length,$A$ is the cross-sectional area,and $Y$ is Young's modulus.
Since $A = \pi r^2$,where $r$ is the radius of the wire,we have $\Delta L = \frac{FL}{\pi r^2 Y}$.
Given that $F$,$L$,and $Y$ are constant,the extension is inversely proportional to the square of the radius: $\Delta L \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$.
Since the diameter $D = 2r$,the relationship also holds for the diameter: $\Delta L \propto \frac{1}{D^2}$.
Let $\Delta L_1 = 2.4\, cm$ and $D_1 = 0.4\, mm$. If the diameter is doubled,$D_2 = 2D_1$.
Then,$\frac{\Delta L_2}{\Delta L_1} = \left( \frac{D_1}{D_2} \right)^2 = \left( \frac{D_1}{2D_1} \right)^2 = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}$.
Therefore,$\Delta L_2 = \frac{\Delta L_1}{4} = \frac{2.4\, cm}{4} = 0.6\, cm$.

$A$ sound source is moving towards a stationary observer with $1/10$ of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is
A
$10/9$
B
$11/10$
C
$(11/10)^2$
D
$(9/10)^2$

Solution

(A) According to the Doppler effect,when a source moves towards a stationary observer,the apparent frequency $n'$ is given by the formula:
$n' = n \left( \frac{v}{v - v_S} \right)$
where $n$ is the real frequency,$v$ is the speed of sound,and $v_S$ is the speed of the source.
Given that the source is moving with $1/10$ of the speed of sound,we have $v_S = v/10$.
Substituting this into the formula:
$n' = n \left( \frac{v}{v - v/10} \right)$
$n' = n \left( \frac{v}{9v/10} \right)$
$n' = n \left( \frac{10}{9} \right)$
Therefore,the ratio of apparent to real frequency is $\frac{n'}{n} = \frac{10}{9}$.

If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface,then
A
Work is done on the charge
B
Work is done by the charge
C
Work done is constant
D
No work is done

Solution

(D) An equipotential surface is a surface where the electric potential is the same at every point.
By definition,the work done $W$ in moving a charge $q$ from one point to another is given by $W = q(V_2 - V_1)$.
Since the surface is equipotential,the potential at both points is equal,i.e.,$V_1 = V_2$.
Therefore,$V_2 - V_1 = 0$.
Consequently,the work done $W = q(0) = 0$.
Thus,no work is done in moving a charge over an equipotential surface.

$A$ proton enters a magnetic field of flux density $1.5 \, Wb/m^2$ with a velocity of $2 \times 10^7 \, m/s$ at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the field. The force on the proton will be
A
$2.4 \times 10^{-12} \, N$
B
$0.24 \times 10^{-12} \, N$
C
$24 \times 10^{-12} \, N$
D
$0.024 \times 10^{-12} \, N$

Solution

(A) The magnetic force $F$ on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the formula: $F = qvB \sin \theta$.
Given:
Charge of a proton $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$,
Velocity $v = 2 \times 10^7 \, m/s$,
Magnetic flux density $B = 1.5 \, Wb/m^2$,
Angle $\theta = 30^\circ$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (2 \times 10^7) \times 1.5 \times \sin(30^\circ)$
$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (2 \times 10^7) \times 1.5 \times 0.5$
$F = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^7 \times 1.5$
$F = 2.4 \times 10^{-12} \, N$.

The figure shows the cross-sectional view of a hollow cylindrical conductor with inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$. The cylinder carries a uniformly distributed current $i$ along its axis. The magnetic induction at point $P$ at a distance $\frac{3R}{2}$ from the axis of the cylinder will be:
Question diagram
A
Zero
B
$\frac{5\mu_0 i}{72\pi R}$
C
$\frac{7\mu_0 i}{18\pi R}$
D
$\frac{5\mu_0 i}{36\pi R}$

Solution

(D) For a hollow cylindrical conductor carrying a uniformly distributed current $i$,the magnetic field $B$ at a distance $r$ (where $R < r < 2R$) from the axis is given by Ampere's Law:
$B = \frac{\mu_0 I_{enclosed}}{2\pi r}$
Here,the current $I_{enclosed}$ within the radius $r$ is the fraction of the total current $i$ proportional to the cross-sectional area:
$I_{enclosed} = i \left( \frac{\pi r^2 - \pi R^2}{\pi (2R)^2 - \pi R^2} \right) = i \left( \frac{r^2 - R^2}{4R^2 - R^2} \right) = i \left( \frac{r^2 - R^2}{3R^2} \right)$
Substituting $r = \frac{3R}{2}$:
$I_{enclosed} = i \left( \frac{(\frac{3R}{2})^2 - R^2}{3R^2} \right) = i \left( \frac{\frac{9R^2}{4} - R^2}{3R^2} \right) = i \left( \frac{\frac{5R^2}{4}}{3R^2} \right) = \frac{5i}{12}$
Now,calculate the magnetic field $B$:
$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi r} \left( \frac{5i}{12} \right) = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi (\frac{3R}{2})} \left( \frac{5i}{12} \right) = \frac{\mu_0}{3\pi R} \left( \frac{5i}{12} \right) = \frac{5\mu_0 i}{36\pi R}$

$A$ bar magnet of length $10 \, cm$ and having a pole strength equal to $10^{-3} \, Wb$ is kept in a magnetic field having magnetic induction $B$ equal to $4\pi \times 10^{-3} \, T$. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the direction of the magnetic induction. The value of the torque acting on the magnet is:
A
$2\pi \times 10^{-7} \, N \cdot m$
B
$2\pi \times 10^{-5} \, N \cdot m$
C
$0.5 \, N \cdot m$
D
$0.5 \times 10^{2} \, N \cdot m$

Solution

(A) The magnetic moment $M$ of the bar magnet is given by the product of pole strength $m$ and length $l$: $M = m \times l$.
Given $m = 10^{-3} \, Wb$ and $l = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m$,we have $M = 10^{-3} \times 0.1 = 10^{-4} \, A \cdot m^2$.
The torque $\tau$ acting on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field $B$ is given by $\tau = MB \sin \theta$.
Here,$B = 4\pi \times 10^{-3} \, T$ and $\theta = 30^{\circ}$.
Substituting the values: $\tau = (10^{-4}) \times (4\pi \times 10^{-3}) \times \sin(30^{\circ})$.
$\tau = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 0.5$.
$\tau = 2\pi \times 10^{-7} \, N \cdot m$.

Two identical thin bar magnets,each of length $l$ and pole strength $m$,are placed at a right angle to each other with the north pole of one touching the south pole of the other. The magnetic moment of the system is:
A
$ml$
B
$2\,ml$
C
$\sqrt{2}\,ml$
D
$\frac{1}{2}\,ml$

Solution

(C) The magnetic moment of a single bar magnet is given by $M = m \times l$,where $m$ is the pole strength and $l$ is the length of the magnet.
Since the two magnets are identical and placed at a right angle to each other,their individual magnetic moment vectors $\vec{M_1}$ and $\vec{M_2}$ are also at a right angle to each other.
The magnitude of each magnetic moment is $M = ml$.
The net magnetic moment of the system is the vector sum of the two individual magnetic moments:
$M_{net} = \sqrt{M_1^2 + M_2^2 + 2M_1M_2 \cos(90^\circ)}$
Since $\cos(90^\circ) = 0$,we have:
$M_{net} = \sqrt{M^2 + M^2} = \sqrt{2M^2} = \sqrt{2}M$
Substituting $M = ml$,we get:
$M_{net} = \sqrt{2}\,ml$.

$A$ straight wire carrying current $i$ is turned into a circular loop. If the magnitude of the magnetic moment associated with it in $M.K.S.$ units is $M$,the length of the wire will be
A
$4\pi iM$
B
$\sqrt{\frac{4\pi M}{i}}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{4\pi i}{M}}$
D
$\frac{M\pi}{4i}$

Solution

(B) The magnetic moment $M$ of a circular loop carrying current $i$ is given by the formula $M = iA$,where $A$ is the area of the loop.
For a circular loop of radius $R$,the area is $A = \pi R^2$.
If the length of the wire is $L$,then the circumference of the loop is $L = 2\pi R$,which implies $R = \frac{L}{2\pi}$.
Substituting the value of $R$ into the area formula,we get $A = \pi \left(\frac{L}{2\pi}\right)^2 = \frac{L^2}{4\pi}$.
Now,substituting $A$ into the magnetic moment formula: $M = i \left(\frac{L^2}{4\pi}\right)$.
Rearranging the equation to solve for $L$: $L^2 = \frac{4\pi M}{i}$.
Therefore,the length of the wire is $L = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi M}{i}}$.

If the angles of dip at two places are $30^o$ and $45^o$ respectively,then the ratio of horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at the two places will be
A
$\sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2}$
B
$1 : \sqrt{2}$
C
$1 : \sqrt{3}$
D
$1 : 2$

Solution

(A) The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field $(B_H)$ is given by the formula $B_H = B \cos \phi$,where $B$ is the total magnetic field and $\phi$ is the angle of dip.
Assuming the total magnetic field $B$ is the same at both locations:
For the first place,$(B_H)_1 = B \cos 30^o = B \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
For the second place,$(B_H)_2 = B \cos 45^o = B \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The ratio of the horizontal components is $\frac{(B_H)_1}{(B_H)_2} = \frac{B \cos 30^o}{B \cos 45^o} = \frac{\sqrt{3}/2}{1/\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \sqrt{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Thus,the ratio is $\sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2}$.

A
Charge
B
Momentum
C
Mass
D
Energy

Solution

(D) Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it. If the induced current were to assist the change,it would lead to an infinite increase in energy,which violates the law of conservation of energy. Therefore,Lenz's law is a direct consequence of the law of conservation of energy.

The coils of a step-down transformer have $500$ and $5000$ turns. In the primary coil,an $AC$ of $4 \, A$ at $2200 \, V$ is sent. The value of the current and potential difference in the secondary coil will be:
A
$20 \, A, 220 \, V$
B
$0.4 \, A, 22000 \, V$
C
$40 \, A, 220 \, V$
D
$40 \, A, 22000 \, V$

Solution

(C) For an ideal transformer,the relationship between turns,voltage,and current is given by: $\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{i_s}{i_p}$.
Given that it is a step-down transformer,the primary coil must have more turns than the secondary coil. Thus,$N_p = 5000$ and $N_s = 500$.
Given values: $V_p = 2200 \, V$,$i_p = 4 \, A$.
Using the ratio: $\frac{5000}{500} = \frac{2200}{V_s} = \frac{i_s}{4}$.
Calculating voltage $V_s$: $\frac{5000}{500} = \frac{2200}{V_s} \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{2200}{V_s} \Rightarrow V_s = 220 \, V$.
Calculating current $i_s$: $\frac{5000}{500} = \frac{i_s}{4} \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{i_s}{4} \Rightarrow i_s = 40 \, A$.
Therefore,the current is $40 \, A$ and the potential difference is $220 \, V$.

Question diagram
A
Increase
B
Remain the same
C
Decrease
D
Increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it

Solution

(B) The induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ in a moving conductor is given by $\varepsilon = B \cdot l_{eff} \cdot V$,where $l_{eff}$ is the effective length of the conductor perpendicular to the velocity vector and the magnetic field.
For a wire moving in a uniform magnetic field,the effective length is the straight-line distance between the two points of contact on the rails.
Even if the wire $AB$ is replaced by a semicircular wire,the distance between the points of contact on the rails remains the same as the original straight wire $AB$.
Since the velocity $V$,the magnetic field $B$,and the effective length $l_{eff}$ remain unchanged,the induced $EMF$ $\varepsilon$ remains the same.
Consequently,the magnitude of the induced current $I = \varepsilon / R$ also remains the same.

$A$ light wave has a frequency of $4 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}$ and a wavelength of $5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}$ in a medium. The refractive index of the medium is
A
$1.5$
B
$1.33$
C
$1$
D
$0.66$

Solution

(A) The speed of light in a vacuum is $c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}$.
The speed of light in the medium $(v)$ is given by the product of frequency $(\nu)$ and wavelength $(\lambda)$: $v = \nu \lambda$.
Substituting the given values: $v = (4 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}) \times (5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}) = 20 \times 10^7 \text{ m/s} = 2 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}$.
The refractive index $(\mu)$ is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium: $\mu = \frac{c}{v}$.
$\mu = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{2 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}} = 1.5$.

Which of the following compounds will exhibit cis-trans isomerism?
A
$2-$butene
B
$2-$butyne
C
$2-$butanol
D
Butanone

Solution

(A) Cis-trans isomerism (geometrical isomerism) is exhibited by compounds that have restricted rotation around a double bond,where each carbon atom of the double bond is attached to two different groups.
$A$. $2-$butene $(CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3)$ satisfies this condition as each carbon of the $C=C$ bond is attached to a hydrogen atom and a methyl group,allowing for cis and trans configurations.
$B$. $2-$butyne has a triple bond,which is linear and does not allow for cis-trans isomerism.
$C$. $2-$butanol and $D$. Butanone do not contain a $C=C$ double bond with the required substitution pattern.
Therefore,the correct answer is $2-$butene.

The number of solutions for the equation $x^2 - 5|x| + 6 = 0$ is
A
$4$
B
$3$
C
$2$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) Given equation is $x^2 - 5|x| + 6 = 0$.
Since $|x|^2 = x^2$,we can write the equation as $|x|^2 - 5|x| + 6 = 0$.
Let $|x| = t$,where $t \ge 0$. Then the equation becomes $t^2 - 5t + 6 = 0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $(t - 2)(t - 3) = 0$.
This gives $t = 2$ or $t = 3$.
Case $1$: $|x| = 2 \implies x = 2, -2$.
Case $2$: $|x| = 3 \implies x = 3, -3$.
Thus,the solutions are $x \in \{2, -2, 3, -3\}$.
There are $4$ solutions in total.

If $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} x - 3 & 2x^2 - 18 & 3x^3 - 81 \\ x - 5 & 2x^2 - 50 & 4x^3 - 500 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right|$,then $f(1)f(3) + f(3)f(5) + f(5)f(1) = $
A
$f(1)$
B
$f(3)$
C
$f(1) + f(3)$
D
$f(1) + f(5)$

Solution

(B) Given $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} x - 3 & 2(x^2 - 9) & 3(x^3 - 27) \\ x - 5 & 2(x^2 - 25) & 4(x^3 - 125) \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right|$.
Observe that if $x = 3$,the first row becomes $(3-3, 2(9-9), 3(27-27)) = (0, 0, 0)$. Since one row is zero,$f(3) = 0$.
Observe that if $x = 5$,the second row becomes $(5-5, 2(25-25), 4(125-125)) = (0, 0, 0)$. Since one row is zero,$f(5) = 0$.
We need to calculate $f(1)f(3) + f(3)f(5) + f(5)f(1)$.
Substituting the values $f(3) = 0$ and $f(5) = 0$ into the expression:
$f(1) \times 0 + 0 \times 0 + 0 \times f(1) = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0$.
Since $f(3) = 0$,the result is $f(3)$.

The equation $4x^2 - 24xy + 11y^2 = 0$ represents
A
Two parallel lines
B
Two perpendicular lines
C
Two lines through the origin
D
$A$ circle

Solution

(C) The given equation is a homogeneous second-degree equation of the form $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$.
Comparing $4x^2 - 24xy + 11y^2 = 0$ with the general form,we have $a = 4$,$2h = -24$,and $b = 11$.
Since the equation is homogeneous and has no constant term,it represents a pair of straight lines passing through the origin.
To factorize: $4x^2 - 22xy - 2xy + 11y^2 = 0$
$2x(2x - 11y) - y(2x - 11y) = 0$
$(2x - y)(2x - 11y) = 0$
Thus,the lines are $2x - y = 0$ and $2x - 11y = 0$,both of which pass through the origin $(0, 0)$.

C
${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0$
D
${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 6y - 12 = 0$

Solution

(C) Given centre $(h, k) = (2, -3)$ and circumference $= 10\pi$.
Since the circumference of a circle is given by $2\pi r$,we have $2\pi r = 10\pi$,which implies $r = 5$.
The standard equation of a circle with centre $(h, k)$ and radius $r$ is $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$.
Substituting the values,we get $(x - 2)^2 + (y - (-3))^2 = 5^2$.
$(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25$.
Expanding the squares: $(x^2 - 4x + 4) + (y^2 + 6y + 9) = 25$.
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y + 13 = 25$.
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0$.

The function $f(x) = |x| + \frac{|x|}{x}$ is
A
Continuous at the origin
B
Discontinuous at the origin because $|x|$ is discontinuous there
C
Discontinuous at the origin because $\frac{|x|}{x}$ is discontinuous there
D
Discontinuous at the origin because both $|x|$ and $\frac{|x|}{x}$ are discontinuous there

Solution

(C) The function is defined as $f(x) = |x| + \frac{|x|}{x}$.
First,consider the term $|x|$. The function $g(x) = |x|$ is continuous for all real numbers,including $x = 0$.
Second,consider the term $h(x) = \frac{|x|}{x}$.
For $x > 0$,$h(x) = \frac{x}{x} = 1$.
For $x < 0$,$h(x) = \frac{-x}{x} = -1$.
Since the left-hand limit $\lim_{x \to 0^-} h(x) = -1$ and the right-hand limit $\lim_{x \to 0^+} h(x) = 1$ are not equal,the function $h(x)$ is discontinuous at $x = 0$.
Since the sum of a continuous function and a discontinuous function is discontinuous,$f(x) = |x| + \frac{|x|}{x}$ is discontinuous at $x = 0$ due to the term $\frac{|x|}{x}$.

$\frac{d}{dx}[(1 + x^2)\tan^{-1}x] = $
A
$x \tan^{-1}x$
B
$2 \tan^{-1}x$
C
$2x \tan^{-1}x + 1$
D
$x \tan^{-1}x + 1$

Solution

(C) To find the derivative of the product $(1 + x^2)\tan^{-1}x$,we use the product rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[u \cdot v] = u \frac{dv}{dx} + v \frac{du}{dx}$.
Let $u = (1 + x^2)$ and $v = \tan^{-1}x$.
Then $\frac{du}{dx} = 2x$ and $\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{1 + x^2}$.
Applying the product rule:
$\frac{d}{dx}[(1 + x^2)\tan^{-1}x] = (1 + x^2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1}x) + \tan^{-1}x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1 + x^2)$
$= (1 + x^2) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + x^2} + \tan^{-1}x \cdot (2x)$
$= 1 + 2x \tan^{-1}x$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

C
$\frac{e^x[1 - (x - 2)\log x]}{x^3}$
D
$\frac{e^x[1 + (x - 2)\log x]}{x^3}$

Solution

(D) Given $y = \frac{e^x \log x}{x^2}$.
Using the quotient rule $\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{u}{v}) = \frac{v u' - u v'}{v^2}$,where $u = e^x \log x$ and $v = x^2$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2 \frac{d}{dx}(e^x \log x) - e^x \log x \frac{d}{dx}(x^2)}{(x^2)^2}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2 (e^x \log x + e^x \cdot \frac{1}{x}) - e^x \log x (2x)}{x^4}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2 e^x \log x + x e^x - 2x e^x \log x}{x^4}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x e^x (x \log x + 1 - 2 \log x)}{x^4}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^x [1 + (x - 2) \log x]}{x^3}$.

$A$ particle is projected with a velocity $v$ such that its range on the horizontal plane is twice the greatest height attained by it. The range of the projectile is (where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity)
A
$\frac{4v^2}{5g}$
B
$\frac{4g}{5v^2}$
C
$\frac{v^2}{g}$
D
$\frac{4v^2}{\sqrt{5}g}$

Solution

(A) Given that the range $R$ is twice the maximum height $H$,so $R = 2H$.
We know the formulas for range $R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} = \frac{2v^2 \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g}$ and maximum height $H = \frac{v^2 \sin^2\theta}{2g}$.
Substituting these into the given condition $R = 2H$:
$\frac{2v^2 \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g} = 2 \left( \frac{v^2 \sin^2\theta}{2g} \right)$
$\frac{2v^2 \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g} = \frac{v^2 \sin^2\theta}{g}$
$2 \cos\theta = \sin\theta$
$\tan\theta = 2$.
From the right-angled triangle with opposite side $2$ and adjacent side $1$,the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5}$.
Thus,$\sin\theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$ and $\cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$.
Now,substitute these into the range formula:
$R = \frac{2v^2 \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g} = \frac{2v^2}{g} \left( \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \right) \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right) = \frac{4v^2}{5g}$.

The number of possible straight lines passing through $(2, 3)$ and forming a triangle with the coordinate axes,whose area is $12 \, sq. \, units$,is
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) The equation of a line passing through $(2, 3)$ with slope $m$ is $y - 3 = m(x - 2)$,which simplifies to $y = mx + (3 - 2m)$.
The $x$-intercept $(A)$ is found by setting $y = 0$: $0 = mx + 3 - 2m \Rightarrow x = \frac{2m - 3}{m}$.
The $y$-intercept $(B)$ is found by setting $x = 0$: $y = 3 - 2m$.
The area of the triangle formed with the coordinate axes is $\frac{1}{2} |x_{intercept}| |y_{intercept}| = 12$.
$\frac{1}{2} |\frac{2m - 3}{m}| |3 - 2m| = 12$.
Since $(3 - 2m)^2 = (2m - 3)^2$,we have $\frac{(2m - 3)^2}{|m|} = 24$.
Case $1$: $m > 0$,then $(2m - 3)^2 = 24m$ $\Rightarrow 4m^2 - 12m + 9 = 24m$ $\Rightarrow 4m^2 - 36m + 9 = 0$. The discriminant $D = (-36)^2 - 4(4)(9) = 1296 - 144 = 1152 > 0$,so there are $2$ distinct positive values for $m$.
Case $2$: $m < 0$,then $(2m - 3)^2 = -24m$ $\Rightarrow 4m^2 - 12m + 9 = -24m$ $\Rightarrow 4m^2 + 12m + 9 = 0$ $\Rightarrow (2m + 3)^2 = 0$. This gives $m = -3/2$,which is $1$ negative value.
Total number of possible lines = $2 + 1 = 3$.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of:
A
Charge
B
Momentum
C
Mass
D
Energy

Solution

(D) Lenz's law is a direct consequence of the law of conservation of $ENERGY$.
According to Lenz's law,the direction of the induced current is such that it always opposes the cause (change in magnetic flux) that produces it.
If the induced current were to assist the cause,it would lead to an increase in magnetic flux,which would further increase the current,violating the law of conservation of $ENERGY$.
Therefore,to overcome the opposing force,external work must be done. This mechanical work is converted into electrical energy,confirming that Lenz's law is consistent with the law of conservation of $ENERGY$.

Which of the following options is correct for an object having a straight-line motion represented by the following graph?
Question diagram
A
The object moves with constantly increasing velocity from $O$ to $A$ and then it moves with constant velocity.
B
Velocity of the object increases uniformly.
C
Average velocity is zero.
D
The graph shown is impossible.

Solution

(D) In the given graph,the $t$-axis (time) is on the vertical axis and the $s$-axis (displacement) is on the horizontal axis.
For a physical motion,time $t$ must always increase. In this graph,as the object moves from $O$ to $A$,$B$,$C$,and $D$,the value of $t$ increases. However,at point $D$,the graph shows that for a further increase in displacement $s$,the time $t$ would have to decrease,which is physically impossible.
Furthermore,for any time $t$,there cannot be two different positions $s$ (or for any position $s$,there cannot be two different times $t$ in a way that violates causality). Specifically,in this $t$-$s$ graph,the slope represents $dt/ds = 1/v$. At point $D$,the curve turns back,implying that time starts decreasing,which is impossible.
Therefore,the graph shown is impossible.

Question diagram
A
$\cos 2\theta$
B
$\sin 2\theta$
C
$\cot 2\theta$
D
$\tan 2\theta$

Solution

(C) In a $V-I$ graph,the slope represents the resistance $R$.
For temperature $T_1$,the line makes an angle $\theta$ with the $I$-axis. Thus,$R_1 = \tan \theta$. Since $R \propto T$,we have $R_1 = k T_1 = \tan \theta$.
For temperature $T_2$,the line makes an angle $\theta$ with the $V$-axis. The angle with the $I$-axis is $(90^\circ - \theta)$. Thus,$R_2 = \tan(90^\circ - \theta) = \cot \theta$.
Since $R \propto T$,we have $R_2 = k T_2 = \cot \theta$.
Now,consider $(T_2 - T_1) \propto (R_2 - R_1)$.
$(T_2 - T_1) \propto (\cot \theta - \tan \theta)$.
Using trigonometric identities: $\cot \theta - \tan \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} - \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta} = \frac{\cos 2\theta}{\frac{1}{2} \sin 2\theta} = 2 \cot 2\theta$.
Therefore,$(T_2 - T_1) \propto \cot 2\theta$.

One mole of an ideal diatomic gas undergoes a transition from $A$ to $B$ along a path $AB$ as shown in the figure. The change in internal energy of the gas during the transition is:
Question diagram
A
$-20 \, kJ$
B
$20 \, J$
C
$-12 \, kJ$
D
$20 \, kJ$

Solution

(A) The change in internal energy $\Delta U$ for an ideal gas is given by $\Delta U = n C_V \Delta T$.
For a diatomic gas,the molar heat capacity at constant volume is $C_V = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$,where $\gamma = 1.4 = 7/5$.
Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$,we have $\Delta T = \frac{P_B V_B - P_A V_A}{nR}$.
Substituting this into the internal energy formula:
$\Delta U = n \left( \frac{R}{\gamma - 1} \right) \left( \frac{P_B V_B - P_A V_A}{nR} \right) = \frac{P_B V_B - P_A V_A}{\gamma - 1}$.
From the graph,at point $A$: $P_A = 5 \times 10^3 \, Pa$,$V_A = 4 \, m^3$.
At point $B$: $P_B = 2 \times 10^3 \, Pa$,$V_B = 6 \, m^3$.
Calculating the product $PV$ at each point:
$P_A V_A = (5 \times 10^3) \times 4 = 20 \times 10^3 \, J$.
$P_B V_B = (2 \times 10^3) \times 6 = 12 \times 10^3 \, J$.
Now,$\Delta U = \frac{12 \times 10^3 - 20 \times 10^3}{7/5 - 1} = \frac{-8 \times 10^3}{2/5} = -8 \times 10^3 \times \frac{5}{2} = -20 \times 10^3 \, J = -20 \, kJ$.

Question diagram
A
Increase
B
Remain the same
C
Decrease
D
Increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it

Solution

(B) The motional electromotive force $(EMF)$ induced in a conductor moving in a magnetic field is given by $\varepsilon = \int (\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \cdot d\vec{l}$.
For a conductor moving with constant velocity $\vec{v}$ in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$,this simplifies to $\varepsilon = \vec{v} \times \vec{B} \cdot \vec{L}_{eff}$,where $\vec{L}_{eff}$ is the effective length vector connecting the two ends of the conductor.
In both cases (straight wire $AB$ and a semicircular wire connecting points $A$ and $B$),the effective length vector $\vec{L}_{eff}$ is the same,as it is the straight-line distance between the points of contact on the rails.
Since the velocity $V$,magnetic field $B$,and effective length $L_{eff}$ remain unchanged,the induced $EMF$ $\varepsilon = B V L_{eff}$ remains the same.
Consequently,the induced current $I = \varepsilon / R$ also remains the same.

A

Solution

(A) To determine if all bonds are equal,we examine the molecular geometry and hybridization:
$1$. $SiF_4$: $sp^3$ hybridization,tetrahedral geometry. All $Si-F$ bonds are equivalent.
$2$. $XeF_4$: $sp^3d^2$ hybridization,square planar geometry. All $Xe-F$ bonds are equivalent.
$3$. $BF_4^-$: $sp^3$ hybridization,tetrahedral geometry. All $B-F$ bonds are equivalent.
$4$. $ClF_3$: $sp^3d$ hybridization,$T$-shaped geometry. Due to the presence of two lone pairs in the equatorial positions,the axial $Cl-F$ bonds are longer than the equatorial $Cl-F$ bond. Thus,all bonds are not equal.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

Question diagram
A
Increase
B

C

D
Increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulge is towards the resistance or away from it

Solution

(B) The induced electromotive force $(emf)$ in a moving conductor is given by $e = B l v$,where $B$ is the magnetic field,$l$ is the length of the conductor perpendicular to the velocity,and $v$ is the velocity.
In this setup,the effective length $l$ of the wire that cuts the magnetic field lines is the distance between the two rails (the chord length of the wire).
When the straight wire $AB$ is replaced by a semicircular wire with the same chord length,the effective length $l$ remains unchanged because the distance between the points of contact on the rails remains the same.
Since $e = B l v$,and $B, l,$ and $v$ remain constant,the induced $emf$ remains the same.
Consequently,the induced current $I = e / R$ also remains the same,assuming the resistance $R$ of the circuit does not change.

Question diagram
A
$-\,20\,kJ$
B
$20\,J$
C
$-\,12\,kJ$
D
$20\,kJ$

Solution

(A) For an ideal gas,the change in internal energy is given by $\Delta U = n C_V \Delta T$.
Since $C_V = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$ and $PV = nRT$,we have $\Delta U = \frac{n R \Delta T}{\gamma - 1} = \frac{P_B V_B - P_A V_A}{\gamma - 1}$.
For a diatomic gas,the adiabatic index $\gamma = 1.4 = \frac{7}{5}$,so $\gamma - 1 = 0.4 = \frac{2}{5}$.
From the graph,at point $A$: $P_A = 5 \times 10^3 \, Pa$,$V_A = 4 \, m^3$.
At point $B$: $P_B = 2 \times 10^3 \, Pa$,$V_B = 6 \, m^3$.
Calculating the product $PV$ at each point:
$P_A V_A = (5 \times 10^3) \times 4 = 20 \times 10^3 \, J$.
$P_B V_B = (2 \times 10^3) \times 6 = 12 \times 10^3 \, J$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\Delta U = \frac{12 \times 10^3 - 20 \times 10^3}{2/5} = \frac{-8 \times 10^3}{0.4} = -20 \times 10^3 \, J = -20 \, kJ$.

If there were no gravity,which of the following will not be there for a fluid?
A
Viscosity
B
Surface tension
C
Pressure
D
Archimedes' upward thrust

Solution

(D) The correct option is $D$.
Archimedes' upward thrust (buoyant force) is defined as the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. This force arises specifically due to the pressure gradient in a fluid column,which is caused by gravity $(P = \rho gh)$.
If there were no gravity,there would be no pressure variation with depth in the fluid. Consequently,the net upward force (buoyant force) on an object would be zero.
Viscosity,surface tension,and pressure (in a compressed fluid) are intrinsic properties or states that do not depend on the presence of gravity.

A
$10/9$
B
$11/10$
C
$(11/10)^2$
D
$(9/10)^2$

Solution

(A) The formula for the apparent frequency $f$ when the source moves towards a stationary observer is given by $f = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$,where $f_0$ is the real frequency,$v$ is the speed of sound,and $v_s$ is the speed of the source.
Given that the source speed $v_s = v/10$.
Substituting this into the formula:
$f = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v/10} \right)$
$f = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{9v/10} \right)$
$f = f_0 \left( \frac{10}{9} \right)$
Therefore,the ratio of apparent frequency to real frequency is $f/f_0 = 10/9$.

Solution

(A) The speed of light in a medium $(v)$ is given by the product of frequency $(f)$ and wavelength $(\lambda)$:
$v = f \times \lambda$
Given $f = 4 \times 10^{14} ~Hz$ and $\lambda = 5 \times 10^{-7} ~m$.
$v = (4 \times 10^{14}) \times (5 \times 10^{-7}) = 20 \times 10^7 ~m/s = 2 \times 10^8 ~m/s$.
The refractive index $(\mu)$ is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum $(c)$ to the speed of light in the medium $(v)$:
$\mu = \frac{c}{v}$
Taking $c = 3 \times 10^8 ~m/s$:

It consists of two coils,the primary and the secondary,wound on a common magnetic core.
When an alternating current flows through the primary coil,it creates a changing magnetic flux in the core.
This changing flux links with the secondary coil and induces an electromotive force $(EMF)$ in it,which is the phenomenon of mutual induction.
Therefore,a transformer works on the principle of mutual induction.

$H = \frac{1}{2}(5 + 0 - 0 + 1) = 3$,which corresponds to $sp^2$ hybridization.
$3$. For $NH_4^{+}$:
$H = \frac{1}{2}(5 + 4 - 1 + 0) = 4$,which corresponds to $sp^3$ hybridization.

A
Butan$-1-$ol only
B
Butan$-2-$ol only
C
Butan$-1-$ol and butan$-2-$ol
D
None of the options are correct

Solution

Which of the following metals is used as a catalyst in Haber's process of ammonia synthesis?
A
Cobalt
B
Copper
C
Zinc
D
Iron

Solution

(D) Iron $(Fe)$ is used as a catalyst in Haber's process.
The Haber process,also called the Haber-Bosch process,is the industrial implementation of the reaction of nitrogen gas $(N_2)$ and hydrogen gas $(H_2)$.
The chemical equation is: $N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \xrightarrow{Fe, 450^{\circ}C, 250 \ atm} 2NH_3(g)$.
It is the main industrial procedure to produce ammonia $(NH_3)$ and the catalyst used is iron with a suitable promoter like $K_2O$,$CaO$,$SiO_2$,and $Al_2O_3$.
Hence,Iron is used in the Haber process as a cheap catalyst because it allows reaching a reasonable yield in an acceptable time.

The semicarbazone of cyclobutanone is represented as:
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(B) The reaction between a ketone (cyclobutanone) and semicarbazide $(H_2N-NH-CO-NH_2)$ is a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction.
In this reaction,the carbonyl oxygen of the ketone is replaced by the nitrogen atom of the semicarbazide,resulting in the formation of a semicarbazone.
The general structure of a semicarbazone is $R_2C=N-NH-CO-NH_2$.
For cyclobutanone,the structure is a cyclobutane ring double-bonded to a nitrogen atom,which is attached to an $NH$ group,which is attached to a carbonyl group,which is attached to an $NH_2$ group.
This matches the structure shown in option $B$.

Which of the following represents the structure of the methyl hemiacetal of formaldehyde?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(C) Formaldehyde is $HCHO$. $A$ hemiacetal is formed by the addition of one molecule of an alcohol to an aldehyde. The reaction of formaldehyde with methanol $(CH_3OH)$ forms methyl hemiacetal of formaldehyde.
The reaction is: $HCHO + CH_3OH \rightleftharpoons H_2C(OH)(OCH_3)$.
The structure consists of a central carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms,one hydroxyl group $(-OH)$,and one methoxy group $(-OCH_3)$.
This corresponds to the structure $H_2C(OH)(OCH_3)$.
Hence,the correct option is $(C)$.

Which among the following is a possible product during cross aldol condensation between propanal (as electrophile) and butanal (as nucleophile)?
A
$3-$hydroxy$-2-$methylhexanal
B
$2-$ethyl$-3-$hydroxypentanal
C
$3-$hydroxy$-2-$methylpentanal
D
$2-$ethyl$-3-$hydroxyhexanal

Solution

(B) In a cross aldol condensation,the nucleophile (enolate) attacks the carbonyl carbon of the electrophile.
Here,$CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO$ (butanal) acts as the nucleophile,forming an enolate at the $\alpha$-carbon: $CH_3CH_2CH^-CHO$.
This enolate attacks the carbonyl carbon of $CH_3CH_2CHO$ (propanal) as the electrophile.
The reaction is: $CH_3CH_2CHO + CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO \rightarrow CH_3CH_2-CH(OH)-CH(CH_2CH_3)-CHO$.
The product formed is $2-$ethyl$-3-$hydroxypentanal.
Hence,the correct option is $B$.

Which of the following compounds would undergo aldol condensation?
A
Methanal
B
Butan-$1$-ol
C
$2$-methyl pentanal
D
$2,2$-dimethyl pentanal

Solution

(C) Aldol condensation occurs in aldehydes or ketones that possess at least one $\alpha$-hydrogen atom.
$1$. Methanal $(HCHO)$ has no $\alpha$-carbon,hence no $\alpha$-hydrogen.
$2$. Butan-$1$-ol is an alcohol,not an aldehyde or ketone.
$3$. $2$-methyl pentanal $(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH(CH_3)CHO)$ has one $\alpha$-hydrogen atom at the $C-2$ position,so it undergoes aldol condensation.
$4$. $2,2$-dimethyl pentanal $(CH_3CH_2CH_2C(CH_3)_2CHO)$ has no $\alpha$-hydrogen atom because the $C-2$ carbon is fully substituted with two methyl groups and the aldehyde group.
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

Choose the incorrect statement among the following.
$A$. The reactivity of aromatic aldehydes and ketones is less than that of aliphatic carbonyl compounds towards nucleophilic addition reactions.
$B$. Benzaldehyde does not give Fehling's test.
$C$. The $\alpha$-$H$ atoms in ethanal are acidic in nature.
$D$. $p$-nitro benzaldehyde is less reactive than benzaldehyde towards nucleophilic addition reactions.
A
$A$
B
$B$
C
$C$
D
$D$

Solution

(D) Due to the presence of bulky aryl groups,the nucleophilic attack on the $sp^2$ carbon of the $>C=O$ group experiences steric hindrance,decreasing the reaction rate.
$(B)$ Fehling's solution is a mild oxidizing agent and cannot oxidize benzaldehyde.
$(C)$ Ethanal contains $\alpha$-hydrogens which are acidic due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the carbonyl group,allowing for enolization.
$(D)$ The $-NO_2$ group at the $p$-position exerts a strong $-R$ (resonance) and $-I$ (inductive) effect,which increases the partial positive charge on the carbonyl carbon,making it more susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Thus,$p$-nitrobenzaldehyde is more reactive than benzaldehyde. Therefore,statement $D$ is incorrect.

Both ethanal and propanone will react with which of the following?
A
Tollen's reagent
B
Schiff's reagent
C
Fehling's reagent
D
Grignard reagent

Solution

(D) Ethanal $(CH_3CHO)$ and propanone $(CH_3COCH_3)$ both react with a Grignard reagent $(RMgX)$ to form alcohols.
Specifically,ethanal reacts with a Grignard reagent to form a secondary alcohol (after hydrolysis),while propanone reacts with a Grignard reagent to form a tertiary alcohol (after hydrolysis).
In contrast,Tollen's reagent,Fehling's reagent,and Schiff's reagent are specific tests for aldehydes and do not react with ketones like propanone.
Therefore,the correct option is $(D)$.

An aromatic compound "$A$" on treatment with $Zn / NH_4Cl$ and subsequent heating with ammoniacal silver nitrate solution gives a black precipitate. Which functional group does "$A$" contain?
A
$-CHO$
B
$-NO_2$
C
$-OH$
D
$-COOH$

Solution

(B) The reaction of an aromatic nitro compound $(Ar-NO_2)$ with $Zn / NH_4Cl$ is a selective reduction that produces an aromatic hydroxylamine $(Ar-NHOH)$.
$Ar-NO_2 + Zn / NH_4Cl \rightarrow Ar-NHOH + ZnO$
Aromatic hydroxylamines are strong reducing agents and can reduce Tollen's reagent (ammoniacal silver nitrate) to metallic silver $(Ag)$,which appears as a black precipitate.
$Ar-NHOH + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + 3OH^- \rightarrow Ar-NO + 2Ag(s) + 4NH_3 + 2H_2O$
Therefore,the functional group present in compound "$A$" is the nitro group $(-NO_2)$.

$1$. $(CH_3)_3N$
$2$. $CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2$
$3$. $CH_3CH_2NHCH_3$
A
$1 > 3 > 2$
B
$3 > 1 > 2$
C
$2 > 1 > 3$
D
$2 > 3 > 1$

Solution

(D) The boiling points of amines depend on the extent of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Primary amines $(R-NH_2)$ have two hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bonding,secondary amines $(R_2NH)$ have one,and tertiary amines $(R_3N)$ have none.
Therefore,the extent of hydrogen bonding follows the order: primary > secondary > tertiary.
Compound $2$ $(CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2)$ is a primary amine,compound $3$ $(CH_3CH_2NHCH_3)$ is a secondary amine,and compound $1$ $((CH_3)_3N)$ is a tertiary amine.
Thus,the order of boiling points is $2 > 3 > 1$.

In this reaction,aniline reacts with $HNO_2$ (generated in situ from $NaNO_2$ and $HCl$) to form benzene diazonium chloride.
The chemical equation is:
$C_6H_5NH_2 + HNO_2 + HCl \xrightarrow{273-278 \ K} C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- + 2H_2O$.
Thus,the product $A$ is benzene diazonium salt.

Which of the following statements about aniline is false?
A
$A$. Aniline is a stronger base than ammonia.
B
$B$. Aniline is less basic than methylamine.
C
$C$. $pK_b$ of aniline is more than that of ammonia.
D
$D$. Aniline reacts with bromine water to form a white precipitate.

Solution

(A) According to Lewis theory,a base is a species that donates a lone pair of electrons.
In aniline,the lone pair on the nitrogen atom is involved in resonance with the benzene ring,making it less available for donation compared to the lone pair in $NH_3$.
Therefore,$NH_3$ is a stronger base than aniline.
Statement $(A)$ claims aniline is a stronger base than ammonia,which is false.
Statement $(B)$ is true because methylamine is an aliphatic amine with an electron-donating alkyl group,making it more basic than aniline.
Statement $(C)$ is true because a weaker base has a higher $pK_b$ value.
Statement $(D)$ is true because aniline reacts with bromine water to form $2,4,6$-tribromoaniline,which appears as a white precipitate.
Thus,the false statement is $(A)$.

A
sodium amide,$NaNH_2$
B
sodium azide,$NaN_3$
C
potassium cyanide,$KCN$
D
potassium phthalimide,$C_6H_4(CO)_2N^{-}K^{+}$

Solution

(C) To prepare a $1^{\circ}$-amine from an alkyl halide with the simultaneous addition of one $-CH_2-$ group to the carbon chain,$KCN$ is used as the reagent.
The reaction proceeds as follows:
$1$. Nucleophilic substitution: $R-X + KCN \rightarrow R-CN + KX$
$2$. Reduction: $R-CN + 4[H] \rightarrow R-CH_2-NH_2$
$KCN$ provides the cyanide ion $(CN^-)$,which acts as a nucleophile to extend the carbon chain by one carbon atom,and subsequent reduction of the nitrile group yields the $1^{\circ}$-amine.

$(iii) > (ii) > (i)$
B
$(ii) > (iii) > (i)$
C
$(iii) > (i) > (ii)$
D
$(ii) > (i) > (iii)$

Solution

(A) The acidic strength depends on the stability of the conjugate base formed after the loss of a proton.
$(i)$ is $4$-ethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (aliphatic).
$(ii)$ is $4$-methoxybenzoic acid (aromatic with $+R$ effect of $-OCH_3$ group).
$(iii)$ is $4$-nitrobenzoic acid (aromatic with $-R$ effect of $-NO_2$ group).
$1$. Aromatic carboxylic acids are generally stronger than aliphatic carboxylic acids due to the resonance stabilization of the carboxylate anion by the benzene ring.
$2$. The $-NO_2$ group in $(iii)$ exerts a strong $-R$ (electron-withdrawing) effect,which stabilizes the carboxylate anion and significantly increases acidity.
$3$. The $-OCH_3$ group in $(ii)$ exerts a $+R$ (electron-donating) effect,which destabilizes the carboxylate anion and decreases acidity compared to benzoic acid,but it is still more acidic than the aliphatic acid $(i)$ due to the aromatic ring.
Therefore,the order of acidic strength is $(iii) > (ii) > (i)$.

A
$I < II < III < IV$
B
$I < IV < II < III$
C
$IV < I < II < III$
D
$IV < I < III < II$

Solution

(C) The acidic strength of substituted benzoic acids depends on the electronic effects of the substituents attached to the benzene ring.
$1.$ Electron-donating groups $(EDG)$ like $-OCH_3$ (methoxy group) decrease the acidity by destabilizing the carboxylate anion. Thus,$4-$methoxybenzoic acid $(IV)$ is the weakest acid.
$2.$ Electron-withdrawing groups $(EWG)$ like $-NO_2$ (nitro group) increase the acidity by stabilizing the carboxylate anion through $-I$ and $-M$ effects.
$3.$ Benzoic acid $(I)$ has no substituent. $4-$nitrobenzoic acid $(II)$ has one $-NO_2$ group,and $3, 4-$dinitrobenzoic acid $(III)$ has two $-NO_2$ groups.
$4.$ Since $III$ has two electron-withdrawing groups,it is more acidic than $II$.
Therefore,the increasing order of acidic strength is: $IV < I < II < III$.

Acetamide $(CH_3CONH_2)$ contains an $N-H$ bond,which allows it to act as a hydrogen bond donor,and a $C=O$ group,which acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor. This enables the formation of intermolecular $H$-bonds between the $N-H$ of one molecule and the $C=O$ of another.
Ethyl acetate,methyl formate,and acetic anhydride lack $N-H$ or $O-H$ bonds,so they cannot form intermolecular $H$-bonds.
Thus,the correct option is $(C)$.

$A$ reaction,$3 X_{(g)} \rightarrow 2 Y_{(g)} + Z_{(g)}$ takes place in a closed vessel. What is the rate of formation of $Y$ (in $mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$) if the rate of disappearance of $X$ is $7.2 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$?
A
$3.6 \times 10^{-3}$
B
$4.8 \times 10^{-3}$
C
$2.4 \times 10^{-3}$
D
$1.2 \times 10^{-3}$

Solution

(B) The rate of reaction is given by the expression: $-\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[X]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[Y]}{dt} = \frac{d[Z]}{dt}$
Given that the rate of disappearance of $X$ is $-\frac{d[X]}{dt} = 7.2 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.
From the rate expression,we have: $\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[Y]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[X]}{dt}$
Therefore,the rate of formation of $Y$ is: $\frac{d[Y]}{dt} = \frac{2}{3} \times (-\frac{d[X]}{dt}) = \frac{2}{3} \times 7.2 \times 10^{-3} = 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.

For a first order reaction,the concentration of reactant was reduced from $0.03 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ to $0.02 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ in $25 \ min$. What is its rate (in $mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$)?
A
$6.667 \times 10^{-6}$
B
$4 \times 10^{-4}$
C
$6.667 \times 10^{-4}$
D
$4 \times 10^{-6}$

Solution

(A) Given: $\Delta t = 25 \ min = 25 \times 60 \ s = 1500 \ s$.
Change in concentration $\Delta [R] = [R]_f - [R]_i = 0.02 - 0.03 = -0.01 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
Rate $= -\frac{\Delta [R]}{\Delta t} = -\frac{-0.01}{1500} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.
Rate $= \frac{0.01}{1500} = \frac{1}{150000} = 6.667 \times 10^{-6} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.

At $298 \ K$ the value of $-\frac{\Delta[Br^{-}]}{\Delta t}$ for the reaction$5Br^-{_{\text{(aq)}}} + BrO_3^-{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 6H^+{_{\text{(aq)}}} \rightarrow 3Br_{2\text{(aq)}} + 3H_2O_{\text{(l)}}$ is $x \ mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$. What is the rate (in $mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$) of this reaction?
A
$\frac{x}{5}$
B
$x$
C
$5x$
D
$-\frac{x}{5}$

Solution

(A) For the given reaction: $5Br^-{_{\text{(aq)}}} + BrO_3^-{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 6H^+{_{\text{(aq)}}} \rightarrow 3Br_{2\text{(aq)}} + 3H_2O_{\text{(l)}}$
The rate of reaction is defined as the rate of disappearance of reactants divided by their stoichiometric coefficients.
Rate $= -\frac{1}{5} \frac{\Delta[Br^{-}]}{\Delta t} = -\frac{\Delta[BrO_3^{-}]}{\Delta t} = -\frac{1}{6} \frac{\Delta[H^{+}]}{\Delta t} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{\Delta[Br_2]}{\Delta t} = \frac{1}{3} \frac{\Delta[H_2O]}{\Delta t}$
Given that $-\frac{\Delta[Br^{-}]}{\Delta t} = x \ mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$.
Substituting this into the rate expression:
Rate $= \frac{1}{5} \times (-\frac{\Delta[Br^{-}]}{\Delta t}) = \frac{1}{5} \times x = \frac{x}{5} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ min^{-1}$.

The rate equation for a first-$order$ reaction is given by $R = R_0 e^{-kt}$. $A$ straight line with positive slope is obtained by plotting which of the following? ($R_0 =$ Initial concentration of the reactant,$R =$ concentration of the reactant at time $t$)
A
$\log(R_0/R)$ vs time
B
$R$ vs time
C
$\log R$ vs time
D
$\log(R/R_0)$ vs time

Solution

(A) For a first-$order$ reaction,the rate equation is $R = R_0 e^{-kt}$.
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides: $\ln R = \ln R_0 - kt$.
This can be rearranged as $\ln(R_0/R) = kt$.
Converting to base $10$: $\log(R_0/R) = \frac{kt}{2.303}$.
Comparing this with the equation of a straight line $y = mx + c$,where $y = \log(R_0/R)$ and $x = t$,the slope is $m = \frac{k}{2.303}$,which is positive.
Therefore,plotting $\log(R_0/R)$ vs time gives a straight line with a positive slope.

For the reaction,$A \rightarrow$ products,if the graph of $[A]$ vs time gives a straight line,predict the order of the reaction.
A
Pseudo first order
B
First order
C
Second order
D
Zero order

Solution

(D) For a zero-order reaction,the integrated rate law is given by $[A] = -kt + [A]_0$.
This equation is in the form of a linear equation $y = mx + c$,where $y = [A]$,$x = t$,$m = -k$ (slope),and $c = [A]_0$ ($y$-intercept).
Therefore,a plot of $[A]$ versus time $(t)$ results in a straight line for a zero-order reaction.
Hence,the correct option is $(D)$.

If the half-lives of a first-order reaction at $350 \ K$ and $300 \ K$ are $2 \ s$ and $20 \ s$ respectively,the activation energy of the reaction in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$ is:
A
$40.2$
B
$20.1$
C
$60.3$
D
$30.2$

Solution

(A) For a first-order reaction,$t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}$,so $k \propto \frac{1}{t_{1/2}}$.
Given: $T_1 = 300 \ K, t_{1/2}(1) = 20 \ s$ and $T_2 = 350 \ K, t_{1/2}(2) = 2 \ s$.
Therefore,$\frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{t_{1/2}(1)}{t_{1/2}(2)} = \frac{20}{2} = 10$.
Using the Arrhenius equation: $\log \frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \ R} [\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}]$.
Substituting the values: $\log(10) = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 10^{-3}} [\frac{350 - 300}{350 \times 300}]$.
$1 = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 10^{-3}} [\frac{50}{105000}]$.
$E_a = \frac{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 10^{-3} \times 105000}{50} \approx 40.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

Examples for bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics,respectively,are
A
penicillin,ofloxacin
B
erythromycin,tetracycline
C
penicillin,chloramphenicol
D
tetracycline,penicillin

Solution

(C) Antibiotics have either a cidal (killing) effect or a static (inhibitory) effect on microbes.
Bactericidal antibiotics include: $Penicillin$,$aminoglycosides$,$ofloxacin$.
Bacteriostatic antibiotics include: $Erythromycin$,$tetracycline$,$chloramphenicol$.
Therefore,the correct pair for bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics is $Penicillin$ and $erythromycin$ (or $tetracycline$).
Looking at the options,option $B$ provides $erythromycin$ and $tetracycline$,which are both bacteriostatic. However,checking the standard classification,$Penicillin$ is bactericidal and $Erythromycin$ is bacteriostatic. Given the options provided,$B$ is the most appropriate choice as it lists two bacteriostatic agents,but the question asks for one of each. Re-evaluating the options,$A$ ($Penicillin$ - bactericidal,$Ofloxacin$ - bactericidal) is incorrect. $C$ ($Penicillin$ - bactericidal,$Chloramphenicol$ - bacteriostatic) is the correct match.
