Question 1

Maths · Relations and Functions · Multiple correct

Let $S = (0, 1) \cup (1, 2) \cup (3, 4)$ and $T = \{0, 1, 2, 3\}$. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. There are infinitely many functions from $S$ to $T$
  2. There are infinitely many strictly increasing functions from $S$ to $T$
  3. The number of continuous functions from $S$ to $T$ is at most 120
  4. Every continuous function from $S$ to $T$ is differentiable

Answer: (a), (c), (d)

Solution

Given $S = (0, 1) \cup (1, 2) \cup (3, 4)$ and $T = \{0, 1, 2, 3\}$. Number of functions: Each element of $S$ has 4 choices. Let $n$ be the number of elements in set $S$. Number of functions $= 4^n$. Here $n \to \infty$. Therefore, Option (A) is correct. Option (B) is incorrect (obvious). For continuous functions, each interval will have 4 choices. Number of continuous functions $= 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64$. Therefore, Option (C) is correct. Every continuous function is piecewise constant functions, hence differentiable. Therefore, Option (D) is correct.

Question 2

Let $\mathrm{T}_1$ and $\mathrm{T}_2$ be two distinct common tangents to the ellipse $\mathrm{E} : \frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{3} = 1$ and the parabola $\mathrm{P} : y^2 = 12x$. Suppose that the tangent $\mathrm{T}_1$ touches $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ at the point $A_1$ and $A_2$, respectively and the tangent $\mathrm{T}_2$ touches $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ at the points $A_4$ and $A_3$, respectively. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. The area of the quadrilateral $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is 35 square units
  2. The area of the quadrilateral $A_1A_2A_3A_4$ is 36 square units
  3. The tangents $\mathrm{T}_1$ and $\mathrm{T}_2$ meet the x-axis at the point $(-3, 0)$
  4. The tangents $\mathrm{T}_1$ and $\mathrm{T}_2$ meet the x-axis at the point $(-6, 0)$

Answer: (a), (c)

Solution

The equation of the line is $y = mx + \frac{3}{m}$. The equation for $C^2$ is $C^2 = a^2 m^2 + b^2$. Solving $\frac{9}{m^2} = 6m^2 + 3$ gives $m^2 = 1$. The lines $T_1$ and $T_2$ are $y = x + 3$ and $y = -x - 3$. These lines cut the x-axis at $(-3, 0)$. The points are $A_1(3, 6)$, $A_4(3, -6)$, $A_2(-2, 1)$, and $A_3(-2, -1)$. The distances are $A_1A_4 = 12$, $A_2A_3 = 2$, and $MN = 5$. The area is $\frac{1}{2} (12 + 2) \times 5 = 35 sq. unit$.

Maths · Applications of Integrals · Multiple correct

Let $f : [0, 1] \rightarrow [0, 1]$ be the function defined by $f(x) = \frac{x}{3} - x^2 + \frac{5}{9} x + \frac{17}{36}$. Consider the square region $S = [0, 1] \times [0, 1]$. Let $G = \{(x, y) \in S : y > f(x)\}$ be called the green region and $R = \{(x, y) \in S : y < f(x)\}$ be called the red region. Let $L_h = \{(x, h) \in S : x \in [0, 1]\}$ be the horizontal line drawn at a height $h \in [0, 1]$. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. There exists an $h \in \left[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3} \right]$ such that the area of the green region above the line $L_h$ equals the area of the green region below the line $L_h$
  2. There exists an $h \in \left[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3} \right]$ such that the area of the red region above the line $L_h$ equals the area of the red region below the line $L_h$
  3. There exists an $h \in \left[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3} \right]$ such that the area of the green region above the line $L_h$ equals the area of the red region below the line $L_h$
  4. There exists an $h \in \left[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3} \right]$ such that the area of the red region above the line $L_h$ equals the area of the green region below the line $L_h$

Answer: (b), (c), (d)

Solution

Given $f(x) = \frac{x^3}{3} - x^2 + \frac{5x}{9} + \frac{17}{36}$. $f'(x) = x^2 - 2x + \frac{5}{9}$. $f'(x) = 0$ at $x = \frac{1}{3}$ in $[0, 1]$. $A_R =$ Area of Red region $A_G =$ Area of Green region $A_R = \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}} f(x) \, dx = \frac{1}{2}$. Total area $= 1$ Therefore, $A_G = \frac{1}{2}$. $\int_{0}^{1} f(x) \, dx = \frac{1}{2}$. $A_G = A_R$. $f(0) = \frac{17}{36}$. $f(1) = \frac{13}{36} \approx 0.36$. $f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{181}{324} \approx 0.558$. (A) Correct when $h = \frac{3}{4}$ but $h \in \left[\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$. Therefore, (A) is incorrect. (B) Correct when $h = \frac{1}{4}$. Therefore, (B) is correct. (C) When $h = \frac{181}{324}$, $A_R = \frac{1}{2}$, $A_G < \frac{1}{2}$. $h = \frac{13}{36}$, $A_R < \frac{1}{2}$, $A_G = \frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, $A_R = A_G$ for some $h \in \left(\frac{13}{36}, \frac{181}{324}\right)$. Therefore, (C) is correct. (D) Option (D) is remaining coloured part of option (C), hence option (D) is also correct.

Question 4

Maths · Limits and Derivatives · Single correct

Let $f : (0, 1) \to \mathbb{R}$ be the functions defined as $f(x) = \sqrt{n}$ if $x \in \left[ \frac{1}{n+1}, \frac{1}{n} \right)$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $g : (0, 1) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $\int_{x^2}^{x} \sqrt{\frac{1-t}{t}} \, dt < g(x) < 2\sqrt{x}$ for all $x \in (0, 1)$. Then $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)g(x)$

  1. does NOT exist
  2. is equal to 1
  3. is equal to 2
  4. is equal to 3

Answer: (c)

Solution

Given $$\int_{x^2}^{x} \sqrt{\frac{1-t}{t}} \, dt. \sqrt{n} \leq f(x)g(x) \leq 2\sqrt{x\sqrt{n}}$$ Therefore, $$\int_{x^2}^{x} \sqrt{\frac{1-t}{t}} \, dt = \sin^{-1} \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x} \sqrt{1-x} - \sin^{-1} x - x \sqrt{1-x^2}$$ Thus, $$\lim_{x \to 0} \left( \frac{\sin^{-1} \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x} \sqrt{1-x} - \sin^{-1} x - x \sqrt{1-x^2}}{\sqrt{x}} \right) \leq f(x)g(x) \leq \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}}$$ Therefore, $$2 \leq \lim_{x \to 0} f(x)g(x) \leq 2$$ Thus, $$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)g(x) = 2$$

  2. $\frac{73}{220}$
  3. $\frac{79}{220}$
  4. $\frac{83}{220}$

Answer: (b)

Solution

Given $\frac{x^2}{8} + \frac{y^2}{20} < 1$ and $y^2 < 5x$. Solving corresponding equations $$\frac{x^2}{8} + \frac{y^2}{20} = 1 \& y^2 = 5x$$ $$\Rightarrow \begin{cases} x = 2 \\ y = \pm \sqrt{10} \end{cases}$$ $$X = \{(1,1), (1,0), (1,-1), (1,2), (1,-2), (2,3), (2,2), (2,1), (2,0), (2,-1), (2,-2), (2,-3)\}$$ Let $S$ be the sample space and $E$ be the event $n(S) = \binom{12}{3}$.

(B)

Question 7

Maths · Conic Sections · Single correct

Let P be a point on the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$, where $a > 0$. The normal to the parabola at P meets the x-axis at a point Q. The area of the triangle PFQ, where F is the focus of the parabola, is 120. If the slope $m$ of the normal and $a$ are both positive integers, then the pair $(a,m)$ is

  1. (2, 3)
  2. (1, 3)
  3. (2, 4)
  4. (3, 4)

Answer: (a)

Solution

Let point $P (at^2, 2at)$. The normal at $P$ is $y = -tx + 2at + at^3$. For $y = 0$, $x = 2a + at^2$. Therefore, $Q(2a + at^2, 0)$. The area of $\triangle PFQ = \frac{1}{2} (a + at^2)(2at) = 120$. Thus, $m = -t$. Therefore, $a^2 [1 + m^2] m = 120$. The pair $(a, m) = (2, 3)$ will satisfy.

Question 8

Let $\tan^{-1}(x) \in \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$, for $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Then the number of real solutions of the equation $$\sqrt{1 + \cos(2x)} = \sqrt{2} \tan^{-1}(\tan x)$$ in the set $\left( -\frac{3\pi}{2}, -\frac{\pi}{2} \right) \cup \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \cup \left( \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right)$ is equal to

Answer: 3

Solution

Given $\sqrt{2} |\cos x| = \sqrt{2} \cdot \tan^{-1}(\tan x)$. Therefore, $|\cos x| = \tan^{-1}(\tan x)$. The number of solutions is 3.

Question 9

Maths · Applications of Integrals · Numerical

Let $n \geq 2$ be a natural number and $f : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ be the function defined by $$f(x) = \begin{cases} n(1-2nx) & if 0 \leq x \leq \frac{1}{2n} \\ 2n(2nx-1) & if \frac{1}{2n} \leq x \leq \frac{3}{4n} \\ 4n(1-nx) & if \frac{3}{4n} \leq x \leq \frac{1}{n} \\ \frac{n}{n-1}(nx-1) & if \frac{1}{n} \leq x \leq 1 \end{cases}$$ If $n$ is such that the area of the region bounded by the curves $x = 0$, $x = 1$, $y = 0$ and $y = f(x)$ is $4$, then the maximum value of the function $f$ is

Answer: 8

Solution

Area = Area of (I + II + III) = 4 $$= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2n} \times n + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2n} \times n + \frac{1}{2} \left(1 - \frac{1}{n}\right) \times n$$ $$= \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{n-1}{2} = 4$$ Therefore, $n = 8$. Thus, the maximum value of $f(x) = 8$.

Question 10

Maths · Sequences and Series · Numerical

Let $75\ldots57$ denote the $(r + 2)$ digit number where the first and the last digits are 7 and the remaining $r$ digits are 5. Consider the sum $S = 77 + 757 + 7557 + \ldots + 75\ldots57$. If $S = \frac{75\ldots57 + m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are natural numbers less than 3000, then the value of $m + n$ is

Answer: 1219

Solution

Given $S = 77 + 757 + 7557 + \ldots + 75\ldots57$ with 98 terms. Then $10S = 770 + 7570 + \ldots + 75\ldots570$. Subtracting these, we have: $$9S = -77 + \underbrace{13 + 13 + \ldots + 13}_{98 times} + 75\ldots570$$ This simplifies to: $$9S = -77 + 13 \times 98 + 75\ldots57 + 13$$ Therefore: $$S = \frac{75\ldots57 + 1210}{9}$$ Where $m = 1210$ and $n = 9$. Thus, $m + n = 1219$.

Question 11

Let $A = \left\{ \frac{1967 + 1686i \sin \theta}{7 - 3i \cos \theta} : \theta \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$. If $A$ contains exactly one positive integer $n$, then the value of $n$ is

Answer: 281

Solution

Given $$A = \frac{1967 + 1686i \sin \theta}{7 - 3i \cos \theta}$$ We have $$= \frac{281(7 + 6i \sin \theta)}{7 - 3i \cos \theta} \times \frac{7 + 3i \cos \theta}{7 + 3i \cos \theta}$$ This simplifies to $$= \frac{281(49 - 18 \sin \theta \cos \theta + i(21 \cos \theta + 42 \sin \theta))}{49 + 9 \cos^2 \theta}$$ For positive integer, $$\Im(A) = 0$$ Thus, $$21 \cos \theta + 42 \sin \theta = 0$$ We find $$\tan \theta = -\frac{1}{2}; \sin 2\theta = -\frac{4}{5}, \cos^2 \theta = \frac{4}{5}$$ The real part is $$\Re(A) = \frac{281(49 - 9 \sin 2\theta)}{49 + 9 \cos^2 \theta}$$ Simplifying further, $$= \frac{281 \left(49 - 9 \times \frac{-4}{5} \right)}{49 + 9 \times \frac{4}{5}} = 281 \; (+ve integer)$$

Question 12

Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Numerical

Let P be the plane $\sqrt{3}x + 2y + 3z = 16$ and let $$S = \left\{ \alpha \hat{i} + \beta \hat{j} + \gamma \hat{k} : \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = 1 and the distance of (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) from the plane P is \frac{7}{2} \right\}.$$ Let $\vec{u}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{w}$ be three distinct vectors in $S$ such that $|\vec{u} - \vec{v}| = |\vec{v} - \vec{w}| = |\vec{w} - \vec{u}|$. Let $V$ be the volume of the parallelepiped determined by vectors $\vec{u}, \vec{v}$ and $\vec{w}$. Then the value of $\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}} V$ is

Answer: 45

Solution

Given $|\mathbf{u} - \mathbf{v}| = |\mathbf{v} - \mathbf{w}| = |\mathbf{w} - \mathbf{u}|$ implies $\($ $\Delta$ UVW $\)$ is an equilateral triangle. Now distances of $U$, $V$, $W$ from $P = \frac{7}{2}$. Therefore, $PQ = \frac{7}{2}$. Also, Distance of plane $P$ from origin implies $OQ = 4$. Thus, $OP = OQ - PQ \Rightarrow OP = \frac{1}{2}$. Hence, $PU = \sqrt{OU^2 - OP^2} \Rightarrow PU = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = R$. Also, for $\Delta UVW$, $P$ is the circumcenter. Therefore, for $\Delta UVW$: $US = R \cos 30^\circ$ implies $UV = 2R \cos 30^\circ$. Thus, $UV = \frac{3}{2}$. Therefore, $Ar(\Delta UVW) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{16}$. Thus, Volume of tetrahedron with coterminous edges $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}$ is $$= \frac{1}{3} (Ar. \Delta UVW) \times OP = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{16} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{32}$$ Thus, parallelepiped with coterminous edges $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w} = 6 \times \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{32} = \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{16} = V$. Therefore, $\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}} V = 45$.

Question 13

Maths · Binomial Theorem · Numerical

Let a and b be two nonzero real numbers. If the coefficient of $x^5$ in the expansion of $\left(ax^2 + \frac{70}{27bx}\right)^4$ is equal to the coefficient of $x^{-5}$ is equal to the coefficient of $\left(ax - \frac{1}{bx^2}\right)^7$, then the value of $2b$ is

Answer: 3

Solution

Given $T_{r+1} = \binom{4}{r} (a x^2)^{4-r} \cdot \left( \frac{70}{27bx} \right)^r$. $$= \binom{4}{r} a^{4-r} \cdot \frac{70^r}{(27b)^r} x^{8-3r}$$ Here $8 - 3r = 5$. $8 - 5 = 3r \implies r = 1$. Therefore, the coefficient is $4 a^3 \cdot \frac{70}{27b}$. Now, $T_{r+1} = \binom{7}{r} (ax)^{7-r} \left( \frac{-1}{bx^2} \right)^r$. $$= \binom{7}{r} a^{7-r} \left( \frac{-1}{b} \right)^r x^{7-3r}$$ $7 - 3r = -5 \implies 12 = 3r \implies r = 4$. Coefficient: $\binom{7}{4} a^3 \cdot \left( \frac{-1}{b} \right)^4 = \frac{35 a^3}{b^4}$. Now, $\frac{35 a^3}{b^4} = \frac{280 a^3}{27b}$. $b^3 = \frac{35 \times 27}{280} = b = \frac{3}{2} \implies 2b = 3$

  4. (P) $\to$ (5) (Q) $\to$ (1) (R) $\to$ (4) (S) $\to$ (2)

Answer: (b)

Solution

Let the system of planes be $ax + by + cz = 0$. Since it contains $L_1$, we have $a + b + c = 0$. For the largest possible distance between plane (1) and $L_2$, the line $L_2$ must be parallel to plane (1). Thus, $a + c = 0$, which implies $b = 0$. Therefore, the plane $H_0$ is $x - z = 0$. Now, $d(H_0)$ is the perpendicular distance from the point $(0, 1, -1)$ on $L_2$ to the plane. Thus, $d(H_0) = \frac{|0 + 1|}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. Therefore, $P \to 5$. For $Q$, the distance is $\left| \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \right| = \sqrt{2}$. Thus, $Q \to 4$. The point $(0, 0, 0)$ lies on the plane. Thus, $R \to 3$. For $S$, $x = z$, $y = z$, $x = 1$. The point of intersection is $p(1, 1, 1)$. Therefore, $OP = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{3}$. Thus, $S \to 2$. Option [B] is correct.

Let $z$ be complex number satisfying $|z|^3 + 2z^2 + 4\bar{z} - 8 = 0$, where $\bar{z}$ denotes the complex conjugate of $z$. Let the imaginary part of $z$ be nonzero. Match each entry in List-I to the correct entries in List-II.

  1. (P) → (1) (Q) → (3) (R) → (5) (S) → (4)

  4. (P) → (2) (Q) → (3) (R) → (5) (S) → (4)

Answer: (b)

Solution

Given $|z|^3 + 2z^2 + 4z - 8 = 0$ (1). Take conjugate both sides. $\Rightarrow |z|^3 + 2\overline{z}^2 + 4\overline{z} - 8 = 0$ (2). By (1) - (2), $\Rightarrow 2(z^2 - \overline{z}^2) + 4(z - \overline{z}) = 0$. $\Rightarrow z + \overline{z} = 2$ (3). $\Rightarrow |z + \overline{z}| = 2$ (4). Let $z = x + iy$. $x = 1$. $\therefore z = 1 + iy$. Put in (1), $\Rightarrow (1 + y^2)^{3/2} + 2(1 - y^2 + 2iy) + 4(1 - iy) - 8 = 0$. $\Rightarrow (1 + y^2)^{3/2} = 2(1 + y^2)$. $\Rightarrow \sqrt{1 + y^2} = 2 = |z|$. Also $y = \pm \sqrt{3}$. $\therefore z = 1 \pm i\sqrt{3}$. $\Rightarrow z - \overline{z} = \pm 2i\sqrt{3}$. $\Rightarrow |z - \overline{z}| = 2\sqrt{3}$. $\Rightarrow |z - \overline{z}|^2 = 12$. Now $z + 1 = 2 + i\sqrt{3}$. $|z + 1|^2 = 4 + 3 = 7$. $\therefore P \rightarrow 2; \ Q \rightarrow 1; \ R \rightarrow 3; \ S \rightarrow 5$. $\therefore$ Option [B] is correct.

Question 18

Physics · Motion in a Plane · Multiple correct

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end,, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3h$ from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass $m$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0 = u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\vec{v}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_1$. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$ and the coefficient of restitution of the ground is $1/\sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

  1. $u_0 = \sqrt{2gh} \hat{x}$
  2. $\vec{v} = \sqrt{2gh} (\hat{x} - \hat{z})$
  3. $\theta = 60^\circ$
  4. $d/h_1 = 2\sqrt{3}$

Answer: (a), (c), (d)

Solution

The initial velocity $\vec{v}_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \, \hat{i} - \sqrt{2g3h} \, \hat{k}$. The velocity $\vec{v} = \sqrt{2gh} \, \hat{i} + \sqrt{2g3h} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \, \hat{k}$. This simplifies to $\sqrt{2gh} \, \hat{i} + \sqrt{2gh} \, \hat{k}$. The tangent of the angle $\theta$ is given by $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2g3h}}{\sqrt{2gh}} = \sqrt{3}$, which implies $\theta = 60^\circ$. The height $h_1$ is $h_1 = \frac{v_{1y}^2}{2g} = \frac{2gh}{2g} = h$. The distance $d$ is $d = v_x \, t = \sqrt{2gh} \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 3h}{g}}$. This simplifies to $\sqrt{2gh} \sqrt{\frac{6h}{g}} = 2\sqrt{3h}$. Therefore, $\frac{d}{h_1} = 2\sqrt{3}$.

Question 19

Physics · Ray Optics and Optical Instruments · Multiple correct

A plane polarized blue light ray is incident on a prism such that there is no reflection from the surface of the prism. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray is $\delta = 60^\circ$ (see Figure-1). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is $\delta_{\min} = 30^\circ$ (see Figure-2). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is $\sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

  1. The blue light is polarized in the plane of incidence.
  2. The angle of the prism is $45^\circ$.
  3. The refractive index of the material of the prism for red light is $\sqrt{2}$.
  4. The angle of refraction for blue light in air at the exit plane of the prism is $60^\circ$.

Answer: (a), (c), (d)

Solution

Given $\tan \theta_B = \mu_B = \sqrt{3}$. $i = \theta_B = 60^\circ$. $1 \sin 60^\circ = \sqrt{3} \sin r_1$. $r_1 = 30^\circ$. $r_1 + r_2 = A$. $\delta = (i + e) - A$. $60^\circ = 60^\circ + e - A$. $e = A$. $\sqrt{3} \sin r_2 = 1 \sin e$. $\sqrt{3} \sin (A - 30) = \sin A$. Solving $A = 60^\circ$. Therefore, $e = 60^\circ$. For red light, $$\mu = \frac{\sin \left( \frac{A + \delta_{\min}}{2} \right)}{\sin \frac{A}{2}} = \sqrt{2}$$

  4. For $t \to \infty$, the charge on the capacitor is $12 \, \mu \mathrm{C}$.

Answer: (a), (b), (c), (d)

Solution

By writing voltage drop across $1\, \Omega$ $$0 + 5 + 1 \times 1 = V$$ $$V = 6$$ Similarly across $R$ $$0 + 15 - I \times R = 6$$ $$IR = 9$$ Across $3\, \Omega$ $$6 - 3 I_1 = 0$$ $$I_1 = 2\, A$$ Hence option (B) is correct $$I = 1 + 2 (by KCL)$$ $$I = 3$$ $$IR = 9$$ $$R = 3\, \Omega$$ Option (A) is correct $$\varepsilon_{eq} = 6\, V r_{eq} = 0.6$$ $$\varepsilon = \frac{15}{3} + \frac{5}{1} + \frac{0}{3} = 10 \times \frac{3}{5} = 6\, V$$ $$q_{max} = 2 \times 6 = 12\, \muC$$ $$i = \frac{6}{3.6} e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$$ $$= \frac{5}{3} e^{-\frac{7.2}{7.2}} = \frac{5}{3} e^{-1} \approx 0.6\, A$$

  4. $\omega = 6.80 \, \mathrm{rad} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and $v = 4.10 \, \mathrm{m} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}$

Answer: (a)

Solution

Applying angular momentum conservation about hinge $$mv \frac{L}{2} + 0 = -mv \frac{L}{2} + \frac{ML^2}{3} \omega ....(i)$$ Also from eq. of restitution $$e = 1 = \frac{\omega \frac{L}{2} + V}{u} \implies u = \omega \frac{L}{2} + V ....(ii)$$ Solving (i) & (ii) $$\omega \approx 6.98 \, rad/sec \& v = 4.30 \, m/s$$ Hence option (A)

Answer: (80 or 150 or 220)

Solution

Two cases are possible if 1st refraction on lens: Since object is at focus, light will become parallel. 1st reflection at $M_1$: Light is parallel, image will be at focus. 2nd refraction from $L$: $u = -(d - 10)$ $f = 10 \, \mathrm{cm}$ $$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{\mu f} = \frac{1}{f}$$ $$\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{d - 10} = \frac{1}{10}$$ $$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{d - 10} \cdots (i)$$ This $v$ will be object for $M_2$, and image should be at $10 \, \mathrm{cm}$ $$\frac{1}{\mu} + \frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{f}$$ $$-\frac{1}{20 - v} + \frac{1}{10} = -\frac{1}{12}$$ $$\frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{20 - v}$$ $$-\frac{2}{120} = \frac{1}{20 - v}$$ $$20 - v = -60$$ $$v = 80 \, \mathrm{cm}$$ From equation (i) $$\frac{1}{80} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{d - 10}$$ $$\frac{1}{d - 10} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{80}$$ $$\frac{1}{d - 10} = \frac{80 - 10}{800} = \frac{70}{800}$$ $$d - 10 = \frac{80}{7} \Rightarrow d = 10 + \frac{80}{7} = \frac{150}{7}$$ $$n = 150$$ Case-2: If 1st reflection on mirror $m_2$ For $m_2$ $$\frac{1}{V_1} + \frac{1}{-10} = \frac{1}{-12}$$ $$V_1 = 60 \, \mathrm{cm}$$ Then refraction on lens $L$ $$u_2 = -80 \, \mathrm{cm}$$ $$\frac{1}{V_2} - \frac{1}{-60} = \frac{1}{10}$$ $$V_2 = \frac{80}{7}$$ Then reflection on $m_2$ Either $V_2$ is at centre (normal incidence) $$d - \frac{80}{7} = 20$$ $$d = \frac{220}{7}$$ $$\frac{n}{7} = \frac{220}{7},$$ $$n = 220$$ $V_2$ is at pole of $m_2$ $$d - \frac{80}{7} = 0$$ $$d = \frac{80}{7}$$ $$\frac{n}{7} = \frac{80}{7}$$ $$n = 80$$

If the speed of the person is 60 $\,$ $\mathrm{cm \, s^{-1}}$, the speed of the tip of the person's shadow on the ground with respect to the person is _______ $\,$ $\mathrm{cm \, s^{-1}}$.

Answer: 40

Solution

Given the similar triangles, we have the proportion: $$\frac{4}{y} = \frac{1.6}{y-x}$$ Solving for $x$, we get: $$4y - 4x = 1.6y$$ $$2.4y = 4x$$ $$x = 0.6y$$ Differentiating with respect to time $t$: $$\frac{dx}{dt} = 0.6 \times \frac{dy}{dt}$$ Given $\frac{dx}{dt} = 60 \, \mathrm{cm/s}$, we have: $$60 = 0.6 \times \frac{dy}{dt}$$ Therefore, $$\frac{dy}{dt} = 100 \, \mathrm{cm/s}$$ The speed of the tip of the person's shadow with respect to the person is: $$100 - 60 = 40 \, \mathrm{cm/s}$$

The angular frequency of the oscillations in $n \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{rad} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}$. The value of $n$ is _____.

Answer: 10

Solution

The period $T$ is given by $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{C}}$. Therefore, $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{C}{I}}$. Where $I$ is the moment of inertia. $I = (30)(4)^2 + (20)(6)^2 = 1200 \, \mathrm{gm-cm^2} = 1.2 \times 10^{-4} \, \mathrm{kg-m^2}$. Thus, $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{1.2 \times 10^{-8}}{1.2 \times 10^{-4}}}$. This simplifies to $\omega = \sqrt{10^{-4}}$. Therefore, $\omega = (10^{-2})$. Finally, $n \times 10^{-3} = 10^{-2} \Rightarrow n = 10$.

From force equation $$mg - B i \ell = \frac{mdv}{dt}$$ $$mg - \frac{B B i \ell}{R} \times \ell = \frac{mdv}{dt}$$ $$\frac{mgR}{B^2 \ell^2} - v = \frac{mR}{B^2 \ell^2} \frac{dv}{dt}$$ $$\frac{B^2 \ell^2}{mR} \int_{t=0}^{t} dt = \int_{0}^{v} \frac{dv}{\frac{mgR}{B^2 \ell^2} - v}$$ Now $$\frac{mgR}{B^2 \ell^2} = \frac{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 10 \times 10}{16 \times \frac{1}{16}} = 2$$ And $$\frac{B^2 \ell^2}{mR} = \frac{16 \times \frac{1}{16}}{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 10} = \frac{1}{0.2} = 5$$ $$\therefore 5t = \left[-\ln(2-v)\right]_0^v$$ $$-5t = \ln \left[\frac{2-v}{v}\right]$$ $$\therefore v = 2 \left(1 - e^{-5t}\right)$$ At $t = 0.2$ sec $$v = 2 \left(1 - e^{-5 \times 0.2}\right)$$ $$v = 2 \left(1 - 0.4\right)$$ $$v = 1.2 \, \mathrm{m/s}$$ (P) Now at $t = 0.2$ sec The magnitude of the induced emf $= E = B v \ell$ $$= 4 \times 1.2 \times \frac{1}{4} = 1.2 \, \mathrm{Volt}$$ (Q) At $t = 0.2$ sec, the magnitude of magnetic force $= B I \ell \sin \theta$ $$= B \times \frac{B v}{R} \times \ell \times \sin 90^\circ$$ $$= 4 \times 4 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 1.3 \times \frac{1}{4}$$ $$= 0.12 \, \mathrm{Newton}$$ (R) At $t = 0.2$ sec, the power dissipated as heat $$P = i^2 R = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{1.2 \times 1.2}{10}$$ $$P = 0.144 \, \mathrm{watt}$$ (S) Magnitude of terminal velocity At terminal velocity, the net force become zero $$\therefore mg = B i \ell$$ $$mg = B \times \frac{B v_T}{R} \times \ell$$ $$\therefore v_T = \frac{mgR}{B^2 \ell^2} = \frac{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 10 \times 10}{16 \times \frac{1}{16}}$$ $$v_T = 2 \, \mathrm{m/s}$$ Hence, answer is (D)

  2. $K_a \Lambda_m^\circ / 2$
  3. $2 K_a \Lambda_m^\circ$
  4. $1 / (K_a \Lambda_m^\circ)$

Answer: (a)

Solution

For weak acid, $\alpha = \frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_0}$. $$K_a = \frac{C \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} \Rightarrow K_a (1 - \alpha) = C \alpha^2$$ $$\Rightarrow K_a \left[ 1 - \frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_0} \right] = C \left( \frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_0} \right)^2$$ $$\Rightarrow K_a - \frac{\Lambda_m K_a}{\Lambda_0} = \frac{C \Lambda_m^2}{(\Lambda_0)^2}$$ Divide by $\Lambda_m$, $$\Rightarrow \frac{K_a}{\Lambda_m} = \frac{C \Lambda_m}{(\Lambda_0)^2} + \frac{K_a}{\Lambda_0}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\Lambda_m} = \frac{C \Lambda_m}{K_a (\Lambda_0)^2} + \frac{1}{\Lambda_0}$$ Plot $\frac{1}{\Lambda_m}$ vs $C \Lambda_m$ has Slope $= \frac{1}{K_a (\Lambda_0)^2} = S$ y-intercept $= \frac{1}{\Lambda_0} = P$ Then, $\frac{P}{S} = \frac{\frac{1}{\Lambda_0}}{\frac{1}{K_a (\Lambda_0)^2}} = K_a \Lambda_0$

[Use: Gas constant, $R = 8 \times 10^{-2}$ $\mathrm{L \, atm \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}}$]

Answer: 100

Solution

For gas: $Z = 0.5$, $V_m = 0.4 \, \mathrm{L/mol}$. $T = 800 \, \mathrm{K}$, $P = X \, \mathrm{atm}$. $$Z = \frac{PV_m}{RT}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{X(0.4)}{0.08 \times 800} = 0.5$$ $$\Rightarrow X = 80$$ For ideal gas, $PV_m = RT$ $$\Rightarrow V_m = \frac{RT}{P} = \frac{0.08 \times 800}{80} = 0.8 \, \mathrm{L \, mol^{-1}} = y$$ Then, $$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{80}{0.8} = 100.$$

If the value of $\log K$ for the reaction at $500 \, \mathrm{K}$ is $6$, the value of $|\log k_b|$ at $250 \, \mathrm{K}$ is ______.

Answer: 5

Solution

For reaction $\mathrm{A(g)} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P(g)}$: $$\log k_f = \frac{-E_f}{2.303RT} + \log A_f [Arrhenius equation for forward reaction]$$ From plot when $\frac{1}{T} = 0.002$, $\log k_f = 9$. $$9 = \frac{-E_f}{2.303R} (0.002) + \log (A_f)$$ Given: $A_f = 10^{15} \, \mathrm{s^{-1}}$ $$9 = \frac{-E_f}{2.303R} (0.002) + 15$$ $$E_f = \frac{6}{2.303R \times 0.002} = 3000$$ Now, $K = \frac{k_f}{k_b} = \frac{A_f}{A_b} e^{-(E_f - E_b)/RT}$ $$\log K = -\frac{1}{2.303} \frac{(E_f - E_b)}{RT} + \log \left( \frac{10^{15}}{10^{11}} \right)$$ At $500 \, \mathrm{K}$: $$6 = \frac{-(E_f - E_b)}{500R \times 2.303} + 4$$ $$(1000 \, R) (2.303) = E_b - E_f$$ $$(1000 \, R) (2.303) = E_b - 3000 (2.303 \, R)$$ $$E_b = 4000 \, R (2.303) \ldots (1)$$ Now $k_b = A_b e^{-E_b/RT}$ $$\log k_b = \frac{-E_b}{2.303RT} + \log A_b$$ At $250 \, \mathrm{K}$: $$\log k_b = \frac{-4000}{250} + \log (10^{11}) [From equation (1)]$$ $$= -16 + 11 = -5$$ $$|\log k_b| = 5$$

[Use, molar heat capacity of the gas at constant pressure, $C_{p,m} = \frac{5}{2} R$]

Answer: 7

Solution

For A to B, (Reversible adiabatic) $$600 \left(V_1\right)^{2/3} = 60 \left(V_2\right)^{2/3}$$ $$\Rightarrow 10 = \left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right)^{2/3}$$ $$\Rightarrow 10 = \left(\frac{V_2}{10}\right)^{2/3}$$ $$\Rightarrow V_2 = 10(10)^{3/2} = 10^{5/2}$$ Now, $q_{net} = RT_2 \ln 10 = 60 R \ln 10 = q_{AB} + q_{BC}$ Therefore, $q_{AB} = 0$ $$\Rightarrow q_{BC} = 60 R \ln 10 = 60 R \ln \frac{V_3}{V_2}$$ [Therefore: B to C is reversible isothermal] $$\Rightarrow 60 R \ln 10 = 60 R \ln \left(\frac{V_3}{10^{5/2}}\right)$$ $$\Rightarrow \log 10 = \log V_3 - \frac{5}{2}$$ $$\Rightarrow \log V_3 = \frac{7}{2} \Rightarrow 2 \log V_3 = 7$$

[$\Delta G_1^\circ$ and $\Delta G_2^\circ$ are standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, respectively.]

Answer: 8

Solution

At $T_1 K$: $\mathrm{A(g)} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P(g)}$ $t = 0$ 6 $t = \infty$ $6 - x$ $x = 4$ (from plot) $$\Rightarrow At T_1 K: K_{P_1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$$ At $T_2 K$: $\mathrm{A(g)} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{P(g)}$ $t = 0$ 6 $t = \infty$ $6 - y$ $y = 2$ (from plot) $$\Rightarrow At T_2 K: K_{P_2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ Now, $\Delta G^0_2 = -RT_2 \ln K_{P_2} = -RT_2 \ln \frac{1}{2}$ $$\Rightarrow \Delta G^0_2 = RT_2 \ln 2$$ $\Delta G^0_1 = -RT_1 \ln K_{P_1} = -RT_1 \ln 2 = -2RT_2 \ln 2$ Given: $\Delta G^0_2 - \Delta G^0_1 = RT_2 \ln 2 + 2RT_2 \ln 2 = 3RT_2 \ln 2 = RT_2 \ln x$ $$\Rightarrow x = 2^3 = 8$$
