A
addition reaction
B
substitution reaction
C
molecular rearrangement
D
elimination reaction

Solution

(C) The conversion of $O$-acylated phenol to $C$-acylated phenol in the presence of a Lewis acid like $AlCl_3$ is known as the Fries rearrangement.
In this reaction,the acyl group $(RCO-)$ migrates from the oxygen atom of the phenolic ester to the ortho or para position of the benzene ring.
Since the atoms or groups within the molecule rearrange to form a new isomer,this process is classified as a molecular rearrangement reaction.

$A$ capacitor of capacity $0.1 \mu F$ connected in series to a resistor of $10 M \Omega$ is charged to a certain potential and then made to discharge through the resistor. The time in which the potential will take to fall to half its original value is (Given,$\log _{10} 2=0.3010$ ) (in $~s$)
A
$2$
B
$0.693$
C
$0.5$
D
$1.0$

Solution

(B) The potential across a discharging capacitor is given by $V = V_0 e^{-t/RC}$.
According to the problem,the potential falls to half its original value,so $V = V_0/2$.
Substituting this into the equation: $V_0/2 = V_0 e^{-t/RC}$.
This simplifies to $1/2 = e^{-t/RC}$,or $e^{t/RC} = 2$.
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides: $t/RC = \ln(2)$.
We know that $\ln(2) = 2.3026 \times \log_{10}(2)$.
Given $\log_{10}(2) = 0.3010$,so $\ln(2) = 2.3026 \times 0.3010 \approx 0.693$.
Now,calculate the time constant $RC$:
$R = 10 M\Omega = 10 \times 10^6 \Omega = 10^7 \Omega$.
$C = 0.1 \mu F = 0.1 \times 10^{-6} F = 10^{-7} F$.
$RC = 10^7 \times 10^{-7} = 1 ~s$.
Therefore,$t = RC \times 0.693 = 1 \times 0.693 = 0.693 ~s$.

Two capacitors of capacities $1 \mu F$ and $C \mu F$ are connected in series and the combination is charged to a potential difference of $120 \ V$. If the charge on the combination is $80 \mu C$,the energy stored in the capacitor of capacity $C$ in $\mu J$ is
A
$1800$
B
$1600$
C
$14400$
D
$7200$

Solution

(B) When capacitors are connected in series,the charge on each capacitor is the same as the total charge on the combination.
Given,$q = 80 \mu C$ for both capacitors.
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by $U = \frac{q^2}{2C}$.
First,we find the value of $C$ using the equivalent capacitance formula: $C_{\text{eq}} = \frac{q}{V} = \frac{80 \mu C}{120 \ V} = \frac{2}{3} \mu F$.
For series connection,$\frac{1}{C_{\text{eq}}} = \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{C}$.
$\frac{3}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{C} \implies \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{2} \implies C = 2 \mu F$.
Now,the energy stored in the capacitor $C$ is $U = \frac{q^2}{2C} = \frac{(80 \mu C)^2}{2 \times 2 \mu F} = \frac{6400 \times 10^{-12}}{4 \times 10^{-6}} \ J = 1600 \times 10^{-6} \ J = 1600 \ \mu J$.

A
$32 \times 10^{-13} ~N$
B
$0.32 \times 10^{-13} ~N$
C
$0.032 \times 10^{-13} ~N$
D
$3.2 \times 10^{-13} ~N$

Solution

(D) The electric field $E$ between two parallel plates is given by $E = \frac{V}{d}$.
Given,potential difference $V = 10^4 ~V$ and separation $d = 0.5 ~cm = 0.5 \times 10^{-2} ~m$.
The force $F$ on an electron of charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} ~C$ is $F = eE = \frac{eV}{d}$.
Substituting the values:
$F = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^4}{0.5 \times 10^{-2}}$
$F = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-15}}{0.5 \times 10^{-2}}$
$F = 3.2 \times 10^{-13} ~N$.

$A$ body of mass $m_1 = 4 \ kg$ moves at $5 \hat{i} \ m/s$ and another body of mass $m_2 = 2 \ kg$ moves at $10 \hat{i} \ m/s$. The kinetic energy of the centre of mass is
A
$\frac{200}{3} \ J$
B
$\frac{500}{3} \ J$
C
$\frac{400}{3} \ J$
D
$\frac{800}{3} \ J$

Solution

(C) The velocity of the centre of mass $(v_{CM})$ is given by the formula: $v_{CM} = \frac{m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}$.
Substituting the given values: $v_{CM} = \frac{4 \times 5 \hat{i} + 2 \times 10 \hat{i}}{4 + 2}$.
$v_{CM} = \frac{20 \hat{i} + 20 \hat{i}}{6} = \frac{40 \hat{i}}{6} = \frac{20}{3} \hat{i} \ m/s$.
The kinetic energy of the centre of mass is given by $K = \frac{1}{2} M v_{CM}^2$,where $M = m_1 + m_2 = 6 \ kg$.
$K = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times (\frac{20}{3})^2$.
$K = 3 \times \frac{400}{9} = \frac{400}{3} \ J$.

$B$. $H_2O$$2$. Three
$C$. $XeF_2$$3$. Zero
$D$. $CH_4$$4$. Four
$5$. One
A
$A-5, B-1, C-2, D-3$
B
$A-3, B-1, C-2, D-5$
C
$A-5, B-1, C-2, D-3$
D
$A-1, B-5, C-3, D-4$

Solution

(C) To determine the number of lone pairs on the central atom,we use the formula: $\text{Lone pairs} = \frac{V - M}{2}$,where $V$ is the number of valence electrons of the central atom and $M$ is the number of monovalent atoms bonded to it.
For $A$. $NH_3$: Central atom $N$ has $5$ valence electrons and $3$ $H$ atoms attached. $\text{Lone pairs} = \frac{5-3}{2} = 1$. Thus,$A-5$.
For $B$. $H_2O$: Central atom $O$ has $6$ valence electrons and $2$ $H$ atoms attached. $\text{Lone pairs} = \frac{6-2}{2} = 2$. Thus,$B-1$.
For $C$. $XeF_2$: Central atom $Xe$ has $8$ valence electrons and $2$ $F$ atoms attached. $\text{Lone pairs} = \frac{8-2}{2} = 3$. Thus,$C-2$.
For $D$. $CH_4$: Central atom $C$ has $4$ valence electrons and $4$ $H$ atoms attached. $\text{Lone pairs} = \frac{4-4}{2} = 0$. Thus,$D-3$.
Therefore,the correct match is $A-5, B-1, C-2, D-3$.

If the equilibrium constant for the reaction,$H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 HI_{(g)}$ is $K$,what is the equilibrium constant of $HI_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2} H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} I_{2(g)}$?
A
$\frac{1}{K}$
B
$\sqrt{K}$
C
$K$
D
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}$

Solution

(D) For the reaction $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 HI_{(g)}$,the equilibrium constant is $K = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}$ ...$(i)$
For the reaction $HI_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2} H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} I_{2(g)}$,the equilibrium constant is $K' = \frac{[H_2]^{1/2} [I_2]^{1/2}}{[HI]}$
Comparing this with equation $(i)$,we see that $K' = \sqrt{\frac{1}{K}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}$.

What is the slope of the straight line for the graph drawn between $\ln k$ and $\frac{1}{T}$,where $k$ is the rate constant of a reaction at temperature $T$?
A
$\frac{-E_a}{2.303 R}$
B
$\frac{-E_a}{R}$
C
$\frac{E_a}{R}$
D
$\frac{R}{E_a}$

Solution

(B) The Arrhenius equation is given by:
$k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
Taking the natural logarithm $(\ln)$ on both sides:
$\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}$
Rearranging this into the linear equation form $y = mx + c$:
$\ln k = (-\frac{E_a}{R}) (\frac{1}{T}) + \ln A$
Comparing this with the equation of a straight line $y = mx + c$,where $y = \ln k$,$x = \frac{1}{T}$,and $c = \ln A$,the slope $(m)$ is equal to $-\frac{E_a}{R}$.

A
$3s^2 3p^5$
B
$3s^2 3p^4$

Solution

(C) Elements with half-filled or completely-filled orbitals possess stable electronic configurations and exhibit very low negative values of electron affinity.
Given the electron affinity values,element $B$ has the lowest magnitude $(-60 \ kJ \ mol^{-1})$,which indicates it possesses a stable half-filled $p$-orbital configuration.
Therefore,the outer electronic configuration of element $B$ is $3s^2 3p^3$.

Charge passing through a conductor of cross-section area $A=0.3 ~m^2$ is given by $q=3 t^2+5 t+2$ in coulomb,where $t$ is in second. What is the value of drift velocity at $t=2 ~s$ ? (Given,$n=2 \times 10^{25} / m^3$ )
A
$0.77 \times 10^{-5} ~m/s$
B
$1.77 \times 10^{-5} ~m/s$
C
$2.08 \times 10^{-5} ~m/s$
D
$0.57 \times 10^{-5} ~m/s$

Solution

(B) Given: Area $A = 0.3 ~m^2$,charge density $n = 2 \times 10^{25} / m^3$,and charge $q = 3t^2 + 5t + 2$.
First,find the current $i$ by differentiating $q$ with respect to time $t$:
$i = \frac{dq}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(3t^2 + 5t + 2) = 6t + 5$.
At $t = 2 ~s$,the current is $i = 6(2) + 5 = 17 ~A$.
The relationship between current and drift velocity $v_d$ is given by $i = neAv_d$.
Rearranging for $v_d$:
$v_d = \frac{i}{neA}$.
Substituting the values $(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} ~C)$:
$v_d = \frac{17}{2 \times 10^{25} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.3}$.
$v_d = \frac{17}{0.96 \times 10^6} = 17.708 \times 10^{-6} ~m/s = 1.77 \times 10^{-5} ~m/s$.

$6 \Omega$ and $12 \Omega$ resistors are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a $10 \text{ V}$ battery and a $6 \Omega$ resistor. What is the potential difference between the terminals of the $12 \Omega$ resistor (in $text{ V}$)?
A
$4$
B
$16$
C
$2$
D
$8$

Solution

(A) First,calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel combination of $6 \Omega$ and $12 \Omega$ resistors:
$R_p = \frac{6 \times 12}{6 + 12} = \frac{72}{18} = 4 \Omega$
Next,calculate the total resistance of the circuit,as the parallel combination is in series with the $6 \Omega$ resistor:
$R_{eq} = R_p + 6 \Omega = 4 \Omega + 6 \Omega = 10 \Omega$
Now,calculate the total current flowing through the circuit using Ohm's law $(I = V / R)$:
$I = \frac{10 \text{ V}}{10 \Omega} = 1 \text{ A}$
The potential difference across the parallel combination $(V_p)$ is the current multiplied by the equivalent parallel resistance:
$V_p = I \times R_p = 1 \text{ A} \times 4 \Omega = 4 \text{ V}$
Since resistors in parallel have the same potential difference across them,the potential difference across the $12 \Omega$ resistor is $4 \text{ V}$.

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
A
$\frac{(v_1 - v_2)}{(n - 1)}$
B
$\frac{(n v_1 - v_2)}{(n - 1)}$
C
$\frac{(n v_2 - v_1)}{(n - 1)}$
D
$\frac{(v_1 - v_2)}{n}$

Solution

(B) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the maximum kinetic energy $K_{\max}$ is given by $K_{\max} = h v - h v_0$,where $v$ is the frequency of incident light and $v_0$ is the threshold frequency.
For frequency $v_1$,$K_1 = h(v_1 - v_0)$.
For frequency $v_2$,$K_2 = h(v_2 - v_0)$.
Given the ratio of kinetic energies is $\frac{K_1}{K_2} = \frac{1}{n}$.
Substituting the expressions,we get $\frac{h(v_1 - v_0)}{h(v_2 - v_0)} = \frac{1}{n}$.
$\frac{v_1 - v_0}{v_2 - v_0} = \frac{1}{n}$.
Cross-multiplying gives $n(v_1 - v_0) = v_2 - v_0$.
$n v_1 - n v_0 = v_2 - v_0$.
$n v_1 - v_2 = n v_0 - v_0$.
$n v_1 - v_2 = v_0(n - 1)$.
Therefore,$v_0 = \frac{n v_1 - v_2}{n - 1}$.

A
$80$

C
$360$

Solution

(C) According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions,the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution for benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$ can be calculated as follows:
$\Lambda^{\infty}_{C_6H_5COOH} = \Lambda^{\infty}_{C_6H_5COONa} + \Lambda^{\infty}_{HCl} - \Lambda^{\infty}_{NaCl}$
Given values:
$\Lambda^{\infty}_{C_6H_5COONa} = 240 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ \text{equiv}^{-1}$
$\Lambda^{\infty}_{HCl} = 349 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ \text{equiv}^{-1}$
$\Lambda^{\infty}_{NaCl} = 229 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ \text{equiv}^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$\Lambda^{\infty}_{C_6H_5COOH} = 240 + 349 - 229 = 360 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ \text{equiv}^{-1}$

Since specific conductance $\kappa = \frac{1}{R}$,where $R$ is the specific resistance.
Substituting the value of $\kappa$ in the formula:
$\wedge_{eq} = \frac{1}{R} \times \frac{1000}{C} = \frac{1000}{R C}$.

The time constant of an inductance coil is $3 \text{ ms}$. When a $90 \Omega$ resistance is joined in series,the time constant becomes $0.5 \text{ ms}$. The inductance and the resistance of the coil are:
A
$54 \text{ mH}, 18 \Omega$
B
$14 \text{ mH}, 42 \Omega$
C
$42 \text{ mH}, 14 \Omega$
D
$14 \text{ mH}, 60 \Omega$

Solution

(A) The time constant of an $LR$ circuit is given by $\tau = \frac{L}{R}$.
Initially,$\tau_1 = \frac{L}{R} = 3 \times 10^{-3} \text{ s}$ ...$(i)$
When a $90 \Omega$ resistor is added in series,the new resistance is $(R + 90) \Omega$.
The new time constant is $\tau_2 = \frac{L}{R + 90} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ s}$ ...(ii)
Dividing equation $(i)$ by (ii):
$\frac{3 \times 10^{-3}}{0.5 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{L/R}{L/(R + 90)}$
$6 = \frac{R + 90}{R}$
$6R = R + 90$
$5R = 90 \implies R = 18 \Omega$
Substituting $R = 18 \Omega$ into equation $(i)$:
$L = 3 \times 10^{-3} \times 18 = 54 \times 10^{-3} \text{ H} = 54 \text{ mH}$.
Thus,the inductance is $54 \text{ mH}$ and the resistance is $18 \Omega$.

The thermo emf of a thermocouple is given by $E = aT + bT^2$,where $\frac{a}{b} = -200^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $30^{\circ}C$,then the inversion temperature is ($\varepsilon$ in volt,$T$ in centigrade). (in $K$)
A
$103$
B
$143$
C
$333$
D
$443$

Solution

(D) The thermo emf is given by $E = aT + bT^2$.
At the neutral temperature $(T_n)$,the emf is maximum,and at the inversion temperature $(T_i)$,the emf becomes zero.
Setting $E = 0$ for the inversion temperature:
$0 = aT_i + bT_i^2$
$T_i(a + bT_i) = 0$
Since $T_i \neq 0$,we have $a + bT_i = 0$,which gives $T_i = -\frac{a}{b}$.
Given $\frac{a}{b} = -200^{\circ}C$,so $T_i = -(-200^{\circ}C) = 200^{\circ}C$.
This $T_i$ is the temperature relative to the cold junction being at $0^{\circ}C$.
Since the cold junction is kept at $T_c = 30^{\circ}C$,the actual inversion temperature is $T_{inv} = T_i + T_c = 200^{\circ}C + 30^{\circ}C = 230^{\circ}C$.
Converting to Kelvin: $T(K) = 273 + 230 = 503 \ K$.
Wait,re-evaluating the standard relation: The inversion temperature $T_i$ is defined such that $T_i - T_c = T_c - T_n$,where $T_n$ is the neutral temperature. The equation $E = aT + bT^2$ implies $T_n = -a/2b = 100^{\circ}C$. If $T_c = 30^{\circ}C$,then $T_i = 2T_n - T_c = 2(100) - 30 = 170^{\circ}C$.
Converting to Kelvin: $T = 273 + 170 = 443 \ K$.

$A$ proton, a deuteron, and an $\alpha$-particle having the same momentum enter a region of uniform electric field between the parallel plates of a capacitor. The electric field is perpendicular to the initial path of the particles. The ratio of deflections suffered by them is
A
$1: 2: 8$
B
$1: 2: 4$
C
$1: 1: 2$
D
None of these

Solution

(A) The deflection $y$ of a charged particle moving with velocity $u$ in a uniform electric field $E$ over a distance $L$ is given by $y = \frac{1}{2} a t^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{qE}{m}) (\frac{L}{u})^2 = \frac{qEL^2}{2mu^2}$.
Since momentum $p = mu$, we have $u = p/m$. Substituting this, $y = \frac{qEL^2}{2m(p/m)^2} = \frac{qEL^2m}{2p^2}$.
Given that $E, L,$ and $p$ are constant for all particles, we have $y \propto qm$.
For a proton $(p)$, deuteron $(d)$, and $\alpha$-particle $(\alpha)$:
Charge ratio: $q_p : q_d : q_\alpha = 1 : 1 : 2$.
Mass ratio: $m_p : m_d : m_\alpha = 1 : 2 : 4$.
Therefore, the ratio of deflections is $y_p : y_d : y_\alpha = (q_p m_p) : (q_d m_d) : (q_\alpha m_\alpha) = (1 \times 1) : (1 \times 2) : (2 \times 4) = 1 : 2 : 8$.

$A$ launching vehicle carrying an artificial satellite of mass $m$ is set for launch on the surface of the earth of mass $M$ and radius $R$. If the satellite is intended to move in a circular orbit of radius $7R$,the minimum energy required to be spent by the launching vehicle on the satellite is (Gravitational constant $= G$)
A
$\frac{GMm}{R}$
B
$\frac{13GMm}{14R}$
C
$\frac{GMm}{7R}$
D
$\frac{GMm}{14R}$

Solution

(B) The initial energy of the satellite on the surface of the earth is $E_1 = -\frac{GMm}{R}$.
When the satellite is in a circular orbit of radius $r = 7R$,its total energy is $E_2 = -\frac{GMm}{2r} = -\frac{GMm}{2(7R)} = -\frac{GMm}{14R}$.
The minimum energy required to be spent by the launching vehicle is the difference between the final energy and the initial energy:
$\Delta E = E_2 - E_1$
$\Delta E = -\frac{GMm}{14R} - \left(-\frac{GMm}{R}\right)$
$\Delta E = -\frac{GMm}{14R} + \frac{14GMm}{14R}$
$\Delta E = \frac{13GMm}{14R}$.

The Diels-Alder reaction will not take place with which of the following reactants?
A
$1,4-$pentadiene and ethene
B
$1,3-$pentadiene and ethene
C
$1,3-$butadiene and propene
D
$1,3-$butadiene and ethene

Solution

(A) The Diels-Alder reaction requires a conjugated diene and a dienophile (an alkene or alkyne).
In option $A$,$1,4$-pentadiene is an isolated diene,not a conjugated diene.
Conjugated dienes have alternating single and double bonds (e.g.,$CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2$).
Since $1,4$-pentadiene lacks the necessary conjugated system,it cannot participate in the Diels-Alder reaction.

Which one of the following is most acidic?
A
$H_2O$
B
$H_2S$
C
$H_2Te$

$H_2Se$

Solution

(C) As the size of the central atom (order of size $O < S < Se < Te$) increases,the $H-A$ (where $A$ is the central atom) bond length increases.
This leads to a decrease in the $H-A$ bond dissociation energy.
Consequently,$H_2Te$ releases a proton $(H^+)$ more readily than the others.
Therefore,$H_2Te$ is the most acidic among the given compounds.

B
$1 \times 10^{-5} \ M, 1 \times 10^{-9}$
C
$1 \times 10^{-4} \ M, 1 \times 10^{-8}$
D
$1 \times 10^{-3} \ M, 1 \times 10^{-8}$

Solution

(A) Given,$pH$ of $0.01 \ M \ CH_3COOH$ solution $= 5.0$.
Concentration,$C = 0.01 \ M = 10^{-2} \ M$.
We know that $[H^{+}] = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-5} \ M$.
For a weak acid,the dissociation constant $K_a$ is given by the formula:
$[H^{+}] = \sqrt{K_a \cdot C} \implies [H^{+}]^2 = K_a \cdot C$.
Therefore,$K_a = \frac{[H^{+}]^2}{C} = \frac{(10^{-5})^2}{10^{-2}} = \frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-2}} = 10^{-8}$.
Thus,the values are $[H^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-5} \ M$ and $K_a = 1 \times 10^{-8}$.

An object takes $n$ times as much time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth inclined plane of the same inclination. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the rough incline is given by:
A
$\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2}\right)$
B
$\left(\frac{1}{1-n^2}\right)$
C
$\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{n^2}}$
D
$\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{n^2}}$

Solution

(A) For a smooth inclined plane,the acceleration is $a_s = g \sin \theta$. The time taken to cover distance $s$ is $t_s = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g \sin \theta}}$.
For a rough inclined plane,the acceleration is $a_r = g(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$. The time taken is $t_r = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)}}$.
Given $t_r = n t_s$,we have $\frac{t_r}{t_s} = n$.
Squaring both sides: $\frac{t_r^2}{t_s^2} = n^2 \implies \frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta} = n^2$.
Rearranging: $\sin \theta = n^2 \sin \theta - n^2 \mu \cos \theta$.
$n^2 \mu \cos \theta = (n^2 - 1) \sin \theta$.
$\mu = \frac{n^2 - 1}{n^2} \tan \theta$.
Since $\theta = 45^{\circ}$,$\tan 45^{\circ} = 1$.
Therefore,$\mu = 1 - \frac{1}{n^2}$.

In Thomson's experiment to determine $\frac{e}{m}$ of an electron,it is found that an electron beam having a kinetic energy of $45.5 \text{ eV}$ remains undeflected,when subjected to crossed electric and magnetic fields. If $E = 1 \times 10^3 \text{ V m}^{-1}$,the value of $B$ is (mass of the electron is $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$)
A
$2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$
B

C
$2.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$
D
$1.0 \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$

Solution

(C) The kinetic energy $K$ is given by $K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$.
Given $K = 45.5 \text{ eV} = 45.5 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$.
$v^2 = \frac{2K}{m} = \frac{2 \times 45.5 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$.
$v^2 = \frac{145.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}} = 16 \times 10^{12} \text{ m}^2 \text{s}^{-2}$.
$v = 4 \times 10^6 \text{ m s}^{-1}$.
For an undeflected beam in crossed fields,the electric force equals the magnetic force: $qE = qvB$,which implies $v = \frac{E}{B}$.
$B = \frac{E}{v} = \frac{1 \times 10^3}{4 \times 10^6} = 0.25 \times 10^{-3} = 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$.

The frequency of vibration in a vibration magnetometer of the combination of two bar magnets of magnetic moments $M_1$ and $M_2$ is $6 ~Hz$ when like poles are tied together and it is $2 ~Hz$ when the unlike poles are tied together,then the ratio $M_1: M_2$ is
A
$4: 5$
B
$5: 4$
C
$1: 3$
D
$3: 1$

Solution

(B) The frequency of vibration in a vibration magnetometer is given by $n = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{MB}{I}}$.
For the combination of two magnets,the effective magnetic moment $M_{eff}$ and moment of inertia $I_{eff} = I_1 + I_2$ are used.
When like poles are tied together,$M_{eff} = M_1 + M_2$,so $n_1 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{(M_1+M_2)B}{I_1+I_2}} = 6 ~Hz$.
When unlike poles are tied together,$M_{eff} = M_1 - M_2$,so $n_2 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{(M_1-M_2)B}{I_1+I_2}} = 2 ~Hz$.
Taking the ratio of the two frequencies:
$\frac{n_1}{n_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_1+M_2}{M_1-M_2}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$.
Squaring both sides:
$\frac{M_1+M_2}{M_1-M_2} = 9$.
$M_1 + M_2 = 9M_1 - 9M_2$.
$10M_2 = 8M_1$.
$\frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}$.
Thus,the ratio $M_1: M_2$ is $5: 4$.

B
$9 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~T$
C
$36 \pi \times 10^{-6} ~T$
D
$9 \pi \times 10^{-6} ~T$

Solution

(A) The formula for the magnetic field at the center of a circular coil is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}$.
Given values are:
Permeability of free space $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~T \cdot m/A$
Current $I = 0.9 ~A$
Radius $R = 5 ~cm = 5 \times 10^{-2} ~m$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$B = \frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 0.9}{2 \times 5 \times 10^{-2}}$
$B = \frac{3.6 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{10 \times 10^{-2}}$
$B = \frac{3.6 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-1}}$
$B = 3.6 \pi \times 10^{-6} ~T = 36 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~T$.

Solution

(D) When a magnetic needle is placed in two mutually perpendicular magnetic fields $B_1$ and $B_2$,it aligns itself along the resultant magnetic field direction.
Let $B_1 = 1 ~T$ and $B_2 = \sqrt{3} ~T$.
The deflection angle $\theta$ of the needle from the direction of $B_1$ is given by the tangent law:
$\tan \theta = \frac{B_2}{B_1}$
Substituting the given values:
$\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} = \sqrt{3}$
Since $\tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}$,we have:

$\overrightarrow{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ are two vectors of equal magnitudes and $\theta$ is the angle between them. The angle between $\overrightarrow{A}$ or $\overrightarrow{B}$ with their resultant is
A
$\frac{\theta}{4}$
B
$\frac{\theta}{2}$
C
$2 \theta$
D
zero

Solution

(B) Let the magnitudes of the two vectors be $|\overrightarrow{A}| = |\overrightarrow{B}| = a$.
The resultant vector $\overrightarrow{R} = \overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B}$ has a magnitude $R = \sqrt{a^2 + a^2 + 2a^2 \cos \theta} = \sqrt{2a^2(1 + \cos \theta)} = \sqrt{2a^2(2 \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2})} = 2a \cos \frac{\theta}{2}$.
The angle $\alpha$ that the resultant $\overrightarrow{R}$ makes with vector $\overrightarrow{A}$ is given by $\tan \alpha = \frac{B \sin \theta}{A + B \cos \theta}$.
Substituting $A = B = a$,we get $\tan \alpha = \frac{a \sin \theta}{a + a \cos \theta} = \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} = \frac{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}{2 \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2}} = \tan \frac{\theta}{2}$.
Therefore,$\alpha = \frac{\theta}{2}$.
Since the magnitudes are equal,the resultant bisects the angle between the two vectors.

Solution

(B) Given the quadratic equation $x^2+(\sqrt{3}+2) x+(\sqrt{3}-1)=0$.
By Vieta's formulas,the sum of roots $m_1+m_2 = -(\sqrt{3}+2)$ and the product of roots $m_1 m_2 = \sqrt{3}-1$.
The difference of the roots is $|m_1-m_2| = \sqrt{(m_1+m_2)^2 - 4m_1 m_2} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3}+2)^2 - 4(\sqrt{3}-1)} = \sqrt{3+4+4\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{3}+4} = \sqrt{11}$.
The vertices of the triangle formed by $y=m_1 x, y=m_2 x$ and $y=c$ are $(0,0), (c/m_1, c)$ and $(c/m_2, c)$.
The area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3-y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2)| = \frac{1}{2} |0(c-c) + \frac{c}{m_1}(c-0) + \frac{c}{m_2}(0-c)| = \frac{1}{2} c^2 |\frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2}| = \frac{1}{2} c^2 \frac{|m_2-m_1|}{|m_1 m_2|}$.
Substituting the values,Area $= \frac{1}{2} c^2 \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3}-1} = \frac{1}{2} c^2 \frac{\sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3}+1)}{3-1} = \frac{\sqrt{33}+\sqrt{11}}{4} c^2$.

A

B
$256$
C
$-128$
D

Solution

(C) Let $z = \sqrt{3}+i$.
Converting to polar form: $r = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{4} = 2$.
$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}) = \frac{\pi}{6}$.
So,$z = 2(\cos \frac{\pi}{6} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{6})$.
Then $\bar{z} = 2(\cos \frac{\pi}{6} - i \sin \frac{\pi}{6})$.
Using De Moivre's theorem:
$z^7 + \bar{z}^7 = 2^7(\cos \frac{7\pi}{6} + i \sin \frac{7\pi}{6}) + 2^7(\cos \frac{7\pi}{6} - i \sin \frac{7\pi}{6})$.
$= 2^7 \times 2 \cos \frac{7\pi}{6} = 2^8 \cos(\pi + \frac{\pi}{6})$.
$= -2^8 \cos \frac{\pi}{6} = -256 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = -128 \sqrt{3}$.

A
$x^3-1$
B
$x^3+1$
C
$x^3+2$
D
$x^3-2$

Solution

(B) Given that $\omega$ is a complex cube root of unity,we have $\omega^3 = 1$ and $1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$.
We need to evaluate the expression: $(x+1)(x+\omega)(x-\omega-1)$.
First,rewrite the third term: $(x - (\omega + 1))$.
Since $1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$,we have $\omega + 1 = -\omega^2$.
So the expression becomes $(x+1)(x+\omega)(x - (-\omega^2)) = (x+1)(x+\omega)(x+\omega^2)$.
Now,multiply $(x+\omega)(x+\omega^2) = x^2 + \omega^2 x + \omega x + \omega^3 = x^2 + x(\omega + \omega^2) + 1$.
Since $\omega + \omega^2 = -1$ and $\omega^3 = 1$,this simplifies to $x^2 - x + 1$.
Finally,multiply by $(x+1)$: $(x+1)(x^2 - x + 1) = x^3 + 1$.

$B$. Shearing strain: It is defined as the angle in radians through which a plane perpendicular to the fixed surface of a cubical body gets turned under the effect of a tangential force. It is also known as tangential strain. Thus,$B-1$.
$C$. Bulk strain: For a solid,the volumetric strain (bulk strain) is equal to $3$ times the linear strain. Thus,$C-4$.
$D$. Elastic fatigue: The temporary loss of elastic properties due to the action of repeated alternating deforming forces is called elastic fatigue. Thus,$D-2$.
Therefore,the correct matching is $A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2$,which corresponds to option $C$.

A
$16$
B

Solution

(D) The total energy of a particle executing $SHM$ is given by $E = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2$,where $m$ is the mass,$\omega$ is the angular frequency,and $A$ is the amplitude.
For the first particle,$x_1 = 4 \sin \left(10 t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$,the angular frequency $\omega_1 = 10 \text{ rad/s}$ and amplitude $A_1 = 4 \text{ units}$.
Thus,$E_1 = \frac{1}{2} m (10)^2 (4)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (100)(16) = 800m$.
For the second particle,$x_2 = 5 \cos (\omega t)$,the angular frequency is $\omega$ and amplitude $A_2 = 5 \text{ units}$.
Thus,$E_2 = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 (5)^2 = \frac{25}{2} m \omega^2$.
Given that the energies are equal,$E_1 = E_2$.
$800m = \frac{25}{2} m \omega^2$.
$1600 = 25 \omega^2$.
$\omega^2 = \frac{1600}{25} = 64$.
$\omega = 8 \text{ units}$.

A
$B_2H_6 \cdot 2NH_3$
B
$B_{12}H_{12}$
C
$B_3N_3H_6$
D
$(BN)_n$

Solution

(B) Diborane reacts with ammonia to give different products under different reaction conditions:
$1$. At low temperature: $B_2H_6 + 2NH_3 \rightarrow B_2H_6 \cdot 2NH_3$ (ionic salt $[BH_2(NH_3)_2]^+[BH_4]^-$).
$2$. At high temperature: $3B_2H_6 + 6NH_3 \rightarrow 2B_3N_3H_6$ (Borazine,also known as inorganic benzene).
$3$. At very high temperature: $B_2H_6 + 2NH_3 \rightarrow 2(BN)_n + 6H_2$ (Boron nitride,which resembles graphite).
Therefore,$B_{12}H_{12}$ is not formed in the reaction between diborane and ammonia.

What is the slope of the straight line for the graph drawn between $\ln k$ and $\frac{1}{T}$,where $k$ is the rate constant of a reaction at temperature $T$?
A
$\frac{-E_a}{2.303 R}$
B
$\frac{-E_a}{R}$
C
$\frac{E_a}{R}$
D
$\frac{R}{E_a}$

Solution

(B) The Arrhenius equation is given by:
$k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides:
$\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}$
Rearranging this into the linear equation form $y = mx + c$:
$\ln k = -\frac{E_a}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T} \right) + \ln A$
Comparing this with $y = mx + c$,where $y = \ln k$,$x = \frac{1}{T}$,and $c = \ln A$,the slope $m$ is equal to $-\frac{E_a}{R}$.

Which of the following is a correct statement?
A
Aqueous solutions of $Cu^{+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ are colourless
B
Aqueous solutions of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ are colourless
C
Aqueous solution of $Fe^{3+}$ is green in colour
D
Aqueous solution of $MnO_4^{-}$ is colourless

Solution

(A) $Cu^{+} = [Ar] 3d^{10}$ (No unpaired electrons,so it is colourless).
$Zn^{2+} = [Ar] 3d^{10}$ (No unpaired electrons,so it is colourless).
Therefore,aqueous solutions of $Cu^{+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ are colourless.
$Cu^{2+} = [Ar] 3d^9$ (One unpaired electron is present,so it is coloured).
$Fe^{3+}$ is yellow/brown in aqueous solution.
$MnO_4^{-}$ is purple due to charge transfer,despite having no unpaired electrons.
Thus,the statement in option $(A)$ is correct.

At a certain temperature and at infinite dilution,the equivalent conductances of sodium benzoate,hydrochloric acid,and sodium chloride are $240$,$349$,and $229 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$ respectively. The equivalent conductance of benzoic acid in $\Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$ at the same conditions is
A
$80$
B
$328$
C
$360$
D
$408$

Solution

(C) According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions,the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution for benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$ can be calculated as follows:
$\wedge_{C_6H_5COOH}^{\infty} = \wedge_{C_6H_5COONa}^{\infty} + \wedge_{HCl}^{\infty} - \wedge_{NaCl}^{\infty}$
Given values:
$\wedge_{C_6H_5COONa}^{\infty} = 240 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$
$\wedge_{HCl}^{\infty} = 349 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$
$\wedge_{NaCl}^{\infty} = 229 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$\wedge_{C_6H_5COOH}^{\infty} = 240 + 349 - 229$
$= 589 - 229$
$= 360 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ equiv^{-1}$

A
$\frac{R}{C}$
B
$\frac{C}{R}$
C

D
$\frac{1000 R}{C}$

Solution

(C) Equivalent conductivity,$\wedge_{eq} = \frac{\kappa \times 1000}{C}$,where $\kappa$ is specific conductance.
Since specific conductance $\kappa = \frac{1}{R}$ (where $R$ is specific resistance,often denoted as resistivity $\rho$ in some contexts,but here $R$ represents the specific resistance value).
Substituting the value of $\kappa$ into the formula:
$\wedge_{eq} = \frac{1}{R} \times \frac{1000}{C} = \frac{1000}{R C}$.

Which one of the following is most acidic?
A
$H_2O$
B
$H_2S$
C
$H_2Te$
D
$H_2Se$

Solution

(C) As the size of the central atom increases (order of size $O < S < Se < Te$),the $H-A$ (where $A$ is the central atom) bond length increases.
Consequently,the $H-A$ bond dissociation energy decreases.
Therefore,$H_2Te$ releases a proton $(H^+)$ most readily,making it the most acidic among the given compounds.
The acidic strength order is $H_2O < H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te$.

Solution

(A) The polydispersity index $(PDI)$ is defined as the ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight.
$PDI = \frac{\bar{M}_w}{\bar{M}_n}$
Given:
$\bar{M}_w = 60000$
$\bar{M}_n = 40000$
$PDI = \frac{60000}{40000} = 1.5$
Since $1.5 > 1$,the polydispersity index of the polymer is $>1$.

$A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
B
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
C
$A$ is true but $R$ is not true.
D
$A$ is not true but $R$ is true.

Solution

(C) White tin,an allotropic form of tin,is an example of a tetragonal system.
For a tetragonal system,the unit cell parameters are defined as $a=b \neq c$ and $\alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ}$.
The given reasoning states $a=b=c$ and $\alpha=\beta=\gamma \neq 90^{\circ}$,which describes a rhombohedral system,not a tetragonal one.
Therefore,$Assertion (A)$ is true but $Reasoning (R)$ is false.

A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$6$
D
$8$

Solution

(D) Given,the radius ratio of anion to cation $= 10 : 9.3$.
$\therefore$ The radius ratio of cation to anion $= \frac{9.3}{10} = 0.93$.
When the radius ratio of cation to anion lies between $0.732$ and $1.00$,the coordination number is $8$.
Thus,the coordination number of the cation in the crystal is $8$.

$X$ is a non-volatile solute and $Y$ is a volatile solvent. The following vapour pressures are observed by dissolving $X$ in $Y$ at different concentrations:
| $X / \text{mol L}^{-1}$ | $Y / \text{mm of Hg}$ |
| :--- | :--- |
| $0.10$ | $p_1$ |
| $0.25$ | $p_2$ |
| $0.01$ | $p_3$ |
The correct order of vapour pressures is:
A
$p_1 < p_2 < p_3$
B
$p_3 < p_2 < p_1$
C
$p_3 < p_1 < p_2$
D
$p_2 < p_1 < p_3$

Solution

(D) When a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent,the solute particles occupy some of the surface area of the solvent.
This reduces the number of solvent molecules available at the surface for vaporization,leading to a decrease in vapour pressure.
As the concentration of the non-volatile solute increases,the vapour pressure of the solution decreases.
Given the concentrations of $X$ as $0.01 < 0.10 < 0.25$,the corresponding vapour pressures follow the order $p_3 > p_1 > p_2$.
Thus,the correct order is $p_2 < p_1 < p_3$.

A
$2.6$
B
$0.4$
C
$0.8$
D
$2.4$

Solution

(A) The dissociation reaction for $BaCl_2$ is: $BaCl_{2(aq)} \rightarrow Ba^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2Cl^-_{(aq)}$
Initially,we have $1$ mole of $BaCl_2$.
Given the degree of dissociation $\alpha = 80\% = 0.8$.
At equilibrium,the moles are:
$BaCl_2 = 1 - \alpha = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2$
$Ba^{2+} = \alpha = 0.8$
$Cl^- = 2\alpha = 2 \times 0.8 = 1.6$
Total moles at equilibrium = $0.2 + 0.8 + 1.6 = 2.6$
The van't Hoff factor $i$ is defined as the ratio of total moles after dissociation to the initial moles:
$i = \frac{2.6}{1} = 2.6$

$A$ micelle formed during the cleansing action by soap is
A
$a$ discrete particle of soap
B
aggregated particles of soap and dirt
C
$a$ discrete particle of dust
D
an aggregated particle of dust and water

Solution

(B) Soap molecules contain a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail and a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head.
When soap is added to water,the hydrophobic tails dissolve in the grease or dirt particles,while the hydrophilic heads remain in the water.
This arrangement results in the formation of spherical clusters known as micelles.
Thus,a micelle is an aggregate of soap molecules surrounding a dirt or grease particle.
