Question 1

Maths · Integrals · Single correct

Let $f : [1, \infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a differentiable function such that $f(1) = \frac{1}{3}$ and $3 \int_{1}^{x} f(t) \, dt = x f(x) - \frac{x}{3}, \, x \in [1, \infty)$. Let $e$ denote the base of the natural logarithm. Then the value of $f(e)$ is

  1. $\frac{e^2 + 4}{3}$
  2. $\frac{\log_e 4 + e}{3}$
  3. $\frac{4e^2}{3}$
  4. $\frac{e^2 - 4}{3}$

Answer: (c)

Solution

Differentiate with respect to 'x'. $$3f(x) = f(x) + x f'(x) - x^2$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx} - \left( \frac{2}{x} \right) y = x$$ If $IF = e^{-2 \ln x} = \frac{1}{x^2}$ $$y \left( \frac{1}{x^2} \right) = \int x \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx$$ $$y = x^2 \ln x + cx^2$$ Therefore, $y(1) = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow c = \frac{1}{3}$ $$y(e) = \frac{4e^2}{3}$$

Question 2

Maths · Probability · Single correct

Consider an experiment of tossing a coin repeatedly until the outcomes of two consecutive tosses are same. If the probability of a random toss resulting in head is $\frac{1}{3}$, then the probability that the experiment stops with head is.

  1. $\frac{1}{3}$
  2. $\frac{5}{21}$
  3. $\frac{4}{21}$
  4. $\frac{2}{7}$

Answer: (b)

Solution

Given $\mathrm{P(H)} = \frac{1}{3}$; $\mathrm{P(T)} = \frac{2}{3}$. Required probability $= \mathrm{P(HH or HTHH or HTHTHH or \ldots)}$ $$+ \mathrm{P(THH or THTHH or THTHTHH or \ldots)}$$ $$= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$$ $$= \frac{1}{1 - \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{1 - \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{5}{21}$$

Question 3

For any $y \in \mathbb{R}$, let $\cot^{-1}(y) \in (0, \pi)$ and $\tan^{-1}(y) \in \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$. Then the sum of all the solutions of the equation $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{6y}{9-y^2}\right) + \cot^{-1}\left(\frac{9-y^2}{6y}\right) = \frac{2\pi}{3}$ for $0 < |y| < 3$, is equal to

  1. $2\sqrt{3} - 3$
  2. $3 - 2\sqrt{3}$
  3. $4\sqrt{3} - 6$
  4. $6 - 4\sqrt{3}$

Answer: (c)

Question 4

Maths · Vector Algebra · Single correct

Let the position vectors of the points P, Q, R and S be $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$, $\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$, $\vec{c} = \frac{17}{5} \hat{i} + \frac{16}{5} \hat{j} + 7\hat{k}$ and $\vec{d} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$, respectively. Then which of the following statements is true?

  1. The points P, Q, R and S are NOT coplanar
  2. $\frac{\vec{b} + 2\vec{d}}{3}$ is the position vector of a point which divides PR internally in the ratio 5 : 4
  3. $\frac{\vec{b} + 2\vec{d}}{3}$ is the position vector of a point which divides PR externally in the ratio 5 : 4
  4. The square of the magnitude of the vector $\vec{b} \times \vec{d}$ is 95

Answer: (b)

Solution

Given $\mathbf{P}(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}) = \mathbf{P}(\vec{a})$. $\mathbf{Q}(3\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = \mathbf{Q}(\vec{b})$ $\mathbf{R}\left(\frac{17}{5} \hat{i} + \frac{16}{5} \hat{j} + 7\hat{k}\right) = \mathbf{R}(\vec{c})$ $\mathbf{S}(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}) = \mathbf{S}(\vec{d})$ $$\frac{\vec{b} + 2\vec{d}}{3} = \frac{7\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}}{3}$$ $$\frac{5\vec{c} + 4\vec{a}}{9} = \frac{21\hat{i} + 24\hat{j} + 15\hat{k}}{9}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{\vec{b} + 2\vec{d}}{3} = \frac{5\vec{c} + 4\vec{a}}{9}$$ so [B] is correct. option –D $$|\vec{b} \times \vec{d}|^2 = |\vec{b}|^2 |\vec{d}|^2 - (\vec{b} \cdot \vec{d})^2$$ $$= (9 + 36 + 9)(4 + 1 + 1) - (6 + 6 + 3)^2$$ $$= 54 \times 6 - (15)^2$$ $$= 324 - 225$$ $$= 99$$

Question 5

Maths · Matrices · Multiple correct

Let $M = (a_{ij})$, $i, j \in \{1, 2, 3\}$, be the $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $a_{ij} = 1$ if $j+1$ is divisible by $i$, otherwise $a_{ij} = 0$. Then which of the following statements is (are) true?

  1. M is invertible
  2. There exists a nonzero column matrix $\begin{pmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{pmatrix}$ such that $M \begin{pmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -a_1 \\ -a_2 \\ -a_3 \end{pmatrix}$
  3. The set $\{X \in \mathbb{R}^3 : MX = 0 \} \neq \{0\}$, where $0 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$
  4. The matrix $(M - 2I)$ is invertible, where $I$ is the $3 \times 3$ identity matrix

Answer: (b), (c)

Solution

Given $M = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$. $|M| = -1 + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow M$ is singular so non-invertible. For (B) $M \begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -a_1 \\ -a_2 \\ -a_3 \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -a_1 \\ -a_2 \\ -a_3 \end{bmatrix}$. $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 = -a_1$ $a_1 + a_3 = -a_2$ $a_2 = -a_3$ $\Rightarrow a_1 = 0$ and $a_2 + a_3 = 0$ infinite solutions exist. [B] is correct. Option (D) $M - 2I = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} - 2 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$ $|M - 2I| = 0 \Rightarrow [D]$ is wrong. Option (C): $MX = 0 \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $x + y + z = 0$ $x + z = 0$ $y = 0$ Therefore, infinite solution. [C] is correct.

Question 6

Maths · Continuity and Differentiability · Multiple correct

Let $f : (0,1) \to \mathbb{R}$ be the function defined as $f(x) = [4x] \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right) \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right)$, where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. The function $f$ is discontinuous exactly at one point in $(0,1)$
  2. There is exactly one point in $(0,1)$ at which the function $f$ is continuous but NOT differentiable
  3. The function $f$ is NOT differentiable at more than three points in $(0,1)$
  4. The minimum value of the function $f$ is $-\frac{1}{512}$

Answer: (a), (b)

Solution

Given $$f(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & ; \; 0 < x < \frac{1}{4} \\ \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) & ; \; \frac{1}{4} \leq x < \frac{1}{2} \\ 2 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) & ; \; \frac{1}{2} \leq x < \frac{3}{4} \\ 3 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) & ; \; \frac{3}{4} \leq x < 1 \end{cases}$$ $f(x)$ is discontinuous at $x = \frac{3}{4}$ only. Differentiating, we have $$f'(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & ; \; 0 < x < \frac{1}{4} \\ 2 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right) \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) + \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 & ; \; \frac{1}{4} < x < \frac{1}{2} \\ 4 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right) \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) + 2 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 & ; \; \frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{3}{4} \\ 6 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right) \left( x - \frac{1}{2} \right) + 3 \left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right)^2 & ; \; \frac{3}{4} < x < 1 \end{cases}$$ $f(x)$ is non-differentiable at $x = \frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$. Minimum values of $f(x)$ occur at $x = \frac{5}{12}$ whose value is $-\frac{1}{432}$.

Question 7

Maths · Continuity and Differentiability · Multiple correct

Let S be the set of all twice differentiable functions f from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\frac{d^2 f}{dx^2}(x) > 0$ for all $x \in (-1, 1)$. For $f \in S$, let $X_f$ be the number of points $x \in (-1, 1)$ for which $f(x) = x$. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. There exists a function $f \in S$ such that $X_f = 0$
  2. For every function $f \in S$, we have $X_f \leq 2$
  3. There exists a function $f \in S$ such that $X_f = 2$
  4. There does NOT exist any function $f$ in $S$ such that $X_f = 1$

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

Solution

S = Set of all twice differentiable functions $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ $$\frac{d^2 f}{dx^2} > 0 in (-1, 1)$$ Graph $f$ is concave upward. Number of solutions of $f(x) = x \to x_f$ Graph of $y = f(x)$ can intersect graph of $y = x$ at at most two points $\Rightarrow 0 \leq x_f \leq 2$ Aliter $$\frac{d^2 f(x)}{dx^2} > 0$$ Let $\phi(x) = f(x) - x$ $\phi''(x) > 0$ $\therefore \phi(x) = 0$ has at most 1 root in $x \in (-1, 1)$ $\therefore \phi(x) = 0$ has at most 2 roots in $x \in (-1, 1)$ $\therefore x_f \leq 2$

Question 8

Maths · Applications of Integrals · Numerical

For $x \in \mathbb{R}$, let $\tan^{-1}(x) \in \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$. Then the minimum value of the function $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ defined by $$f(x) = \int_{0}^{x \tan^{-1} x} \frac{e^{(t - \cos t)}}{1 + t^{2023}} \, dt$$ is

Answer: 0

Solution

Given $$f(x) = \int_0^{\tan^{-1} x} \frac{e^{-t - \cos t}}{1 + t^{2023}} \, dt$$ Differentiating, we have $$f'(x) = \frac{e^{x \tan^{-1} x - \cos(x \tan^{-1} x)}}{1 + (x \tan^{-1} x)^{2023}} \cdot \left( \frac{x}{1 + x^2} + \tan^{-1} x \right)$$ For $x 0 & For x > 0 \\ < 0 & For x < 0 \\ 0 & For x = 0 \end{cases}$$ This indicates a point of minima. Hence, the minimum value is $f(0) = \int_0^0 = 0$.

Let X be the set of all five digit numbers formed using 1,2,2,2,4,4,0. For example, 22240 is in X while 02244 and 44422 are not in X. Suppose that each element of X has an equal chance of being chosen. Let p be the conditional probability that an element chosen at random is a multiple of 20 given that it is a multiple of 5. Then the value of 38p is equal to

Answer: 31

Solution

Number of elements in X which are multiple of 5 $$\frac{4}{3} = 4$$ $$\frac{4}{2} = 12$$ $$\frac{4}{3} = 4$$ Total = 38 Among these 38 elements, let us calculate when element is not divisible by 20 $$\frac{3}{3} = 1$$ $$\frac{3}{2} = 3$$ Total = 7 Therefore, $p = \frac{38 - 7}{38}$, so $38p = 31$

Question 12

Maths · Determinants · Numerical

Let $R = \left\{ \begin{vmatrix} c & 2 & d \\ 0 & 5 & 0 \end{vmatrix} : a, b, c, d \in \{0, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19\} \right\}$. Then the number of invertible matrices in $R$ is

Answer: 3780

Solution

Let us calculate when $|R| = 0$. Case-I $ad = bc = 0$. Now $ad = 0$. Therefore, Total – (When none of $a$ and $d$ is 0) is $$8^2 - 1 = 15$$ ways. Similarly $bc = 0 \Rightarrow 15$ ways. Thus, $15 \times 15 = 225$ ways of $ad = bc = 0$. Case-II $ad = bc \neq 0$. Either $a = d = b = c$ or $a \neq d$, $b \neq d$ but $ad = bc$. $$^7C_1 = 7$$ ways. $$^7C_2 \times 2 \times 2 = 84$$ ways. Total 91 ways. Thus, $|R| = 0$ in $225 + 91 = 316$ ways. $|R| \neq 0$ in $8^4 - 316 = 3780$.

Let $C_1$ be the circle of radius 1 with center at the origin. Let $C_2$ be the circle of radius $r$ with center at the point $A = (4,1)$, where $1 < r < 3$. Two distinct common tangents $PQ$ and $ST$ of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are drawn. The tangent $PQ$ touches $C_1$ at $P$ and $C_2$ at $Q$. The tangent $ST$ touches $C_1$ at $S$ and $C_2$ at $T$. Mid points of the line segments $PQ$ and $ST$ are joined to form a line which meets the $x$-axis at a point $B$. If $AB = \sqrt{5}$, then the value of $r^2$ is

Answer: 2

Solution

Let $C_2 \ (x-4)^2 + (y-1)^2 = r^2$. Radical axis $8x + 2y - 17 = 1 - r^2$. $$8x + 2y = 18 - r^2$$ Point $B \left( \frac{18 - r^2}{8}, 0 \right)$ and $A(4,1)$. $$AB = \sqrt{5}$$ $$\sqrt{\left( \frac{18 - r^2}{8} - 4 \right)^2 + 1} = \sqrt{5}$$ $$r^2 = 2$$ Therefore, $n = \sin \alpha + \cos \alpha$.

Question 14

Let $a$ be the area of the triangle $ABC$. Then the value of $(64a)^2$ is

Answer: 1008

Solution

Given the triangle with angles and sides as shown, we have: $$n - d = 2 \sin \alpha ...(1)$$ $$n + d = 2 \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2} + \alpha \right)$$ This implies: $$n + d = 2 \cos \alpha ...(2)$$ $$n = 2 \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\alpha \right)$$ Thus: $$n = 2 \cos 2\alpha ...(3)$$ Therefore: $$2 \cos 2\alpha = \sin \alpha + \cos \alpha$$ $$2(\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha) = 1$$ $$\sin 2\alpha = \frac{3}{4}$$ Then, $$a = \frac{1}{2} \cdot n \cdot (n + d) \cdot \sin \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cos 2\alpha \cdot 2 \cos \alpha \cdot \sin \alpha$$ $$= \sin 2\alpha \cdot \cos 2\alpha$$ $$= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4} = \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{16}$$ $$(64a)^2 = \left( 64 \times \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{16} \right)^2 = 16 \times 9 \times 7 = 1008$$

Given $P_1 = q(4)$ and $\vec{P_1} = P_1 \hat{j}$. The position vector is $\vec{r} = 100(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, \mathrm{mm}$. The initial velocity is given by $$v_0 = \frac{K P_1 \cdot \vec{r}}{r^3} = \frac{K (100 P_1)}{(100 \sqrt{2})^3}.$$ For the second part, $\tan \theta = 2$, and $\vec{P_2} = P_2 \left[ -\cos \theta \hat{i} + \sin \theta \hat{j} \right]$. The position vector remains $\vec{r} = 100(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, \mathrm{mm}$. We have $P_2 = q \ell$. The velocity is $$v = \frac{K \vec{P_2} \cdot \vec{r}}{r^3} = \frac{K (100 P_2)(-\cos \theta + \sin \theta)}{(100 \sqrt{2})^3}.$$ The ratio of velocities is $$\frac{v_0 P_2}{P_1} = (-\cos \theta + \sin \theta).$$ Therefore, $$v = v_0 \frac{q \ell}{q(4)} [-\cos \theta + \sin \theta] = \frac{v_0}{4} [-2 + 4] = \frac{v_0}{2}.$$

  4. $\alpha = -7, \beta = 1, \gamma = -2$

Answer: (a)

Solution

Given $Y = c^\alpha h^\beta G^\gamma$. $$\mathrm{ML^{-1}T^{-2} = (LT^{-1})^\alpha (ML^2T^{-1})^\beta (M^{-1}L^3T^{-2})^\gamma}$$ From the equations, we have: 1. $1 = \beta - \gamma$ ...(1) 2. $-1 = \alpha + 2\beta + 3\gamma$ ...(2) 3. $-2 = -\alpha - \beta - 2\gamma$ ...(3) Subtracting equation (3) from equation (2): $$-3 = \beta + \gamma$$ Using equation (1): $$1 = \beta - \gamma$$ Subtracting these two equations: $$-2 = 2\beta \implies \beta = -1, \gamma = -2$$ Substituting $\beta$ and $\gamma$ into equation (2): $$-1 = \alpha - 2 - 6 \implies \alpha = 7$$

  4. $\vec{F} = m\alpha^2 (x\hat{x} + 2y\hat{y})$

Answer: (a)

Solution

Given $\vec{v} = \alpha (y \hat{x} + 2x \hat{y})$. $v_x = \alpha y$ $v_y = 2\alpha x$ $$\frac{dv_x}{dt} = \alpha \frac{dy}{dt} = 2\alpha^2 x$$ $$\frac{dv_y}{dt} = 2\alpha v_x = 2\alpha^2 y$$ Therefore, $\vec{F} = m \vec{a} = 2m\alpha^2 (x \hat{x} + y \hat{y})$

  1. For $\mu \neq 0$ and $a \to 0$, $h_m = b/2$
  2. For $\mu \neq 0$ and $a \to b$, $h_m = b$
  3. For $h = h_m$, the initial angular velocity does not depend on the inner radius $a$.
  4. For $\mu = 0$ and $h = 0$, the wheel always slides without rolling.

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

Solution

Given $J_0 = mv$ (1) $J_0 h_m = I_c \omega$ (2) $v = \omega R$ (3) Therefore, $h_m = \frac{I_c}{mR}$ (A) If $a = 0$, $I_c = \frac{1}{2} mb^2$ and $R = b$, therefore $h_m = \frac{b}{2}$ (B) If $a = b$, $I_c = mb^2$ and $R = b$, therefore $h_m = b$ (C) $v = \frac{J_0}{m}$ therefore $100 = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{J_0}{mR}$ (D) Force is acting on COM.

A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1\,\text{m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360\,\text{K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T = 360\,\text{K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d = 0.1\,\text{m}$ and height $h = 9\,\text{m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a = 1.2\,\text{kg m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a = 300\,\text{K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas. Neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects. [Given: The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}$ and $\pi = 3.14$] When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is ______ $\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$.

Answer: 30

Solution

Given $P = constant$, we have $\rho_a T_a = \rho T$. Substituting the values, $1.2 \times 300 = \rho \times 360$. Solving for $\rho$, we get $\rho = 1 \, \mathrm{kg/m^3}$. The pressure difference $\Delta P$ is given by $\rho_a g (h + H) - \rho g h$. Calculating, $1.2 \times 10 \times 10 - 1 \times 10 \times 9$. This simplifies to $120 - 90 = 30 \, \mathrm{N/m^2}$.

The solution involves several steps of organic reactions. First, the reaction of the compound with $Mg$ in dry ether forms $CH_2MgCl$. Then, the addition of $H_2O$ leads to the formation of $CH_3CH_2OH$ and $Mg(OH)Cl$. Next, the compound reacts with $CO_2$ to form $CH_2C(OMgCl)OH$, which upon hydrolysis gives $CH_2COOH$. Kolbe electrolysis of $CH_2COONa$ results in the formation of an 8-carbon compound. Further reaction with $NaOH$ gives $CH_2COOH$ and $Mg(OH)Cl$. The compound is then reacted with $CH_3C=O$ to form $CH_3CH(OH)CH_3$. Oxidation with $CrO_3$ yields $CH_3COCH_3$, which does not undergo the Cannizzaro reaction. The reaction with $NaCN$ followed by hydrogenation with $H_2, Ni$ gives $CH_2CH_2NH_2$. Further reaction with $CHCl_3, KOH$ and heating results in $CH_2CH_2NC$.

Atoms of metals x, y, and z form face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell of edge length $L_x$, body-centred cubic (bcc) unit cell of edge length $L_y$, and simple cubic unit cell of edge length $L_z$, respectively. If $r_z = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} r_y; r_y = \frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} r_x; M_z = \frac{3}{2} M_y$ and $M_z = 3 M_x$, then the correct statement (s) is (are) [Given : $M_x, M_y,$ and $M_z$ are molar masses of metals x, y, and z, respectively. $r_x, r_y,$ and $r_z$ are atomic radii of metals x, y, and z, respectively.]

  1. Packing efficiency of unit cell of x > Packing efficiency of unit cell of y > Packing efficiency of unit cell of z
  2. $L_y > L_z$
  3. $L_x > L_y$
  4. Density of x > Density of y

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

Solution

Now, $r_y = \frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} r_x$ and $r_z = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} r_y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} r_x \Rightarrow r_z = 4r_x$. So, $L_x = 2 \sqrt{2} r_x$, $L_y = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} r_x$, $L_z = 8r_x$. $$L_x = 2 \sqrt{2} r_x, L_y = \frac{32}{3} r_x, L_z = 8r_x$$ So $L_y > L_z > L_x$. Density $\frac{4M_x}{L_x^3}, \frac{2 \times M_y}{L_y^3}$. Now, $3M_x = \frac{3M_y}{2}$ or $M_x \times 2 = M_y$. $$density(x) = \frac{4M_x}{L_x^3} \times \frac{L_y^3}{L_x^3} = \frac{4M_x}{2M_y} \times \frac{L_y^3}{L_x^3} = \frac{4M_x}{4M_x} \times \left( \frac{32}{3} \right)^3 \left( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \right)^3$$

  4. $\textbf{R}$ does $\textit{not}$ undergo aldol condensation and $\textbf{S}$ does $\textit{not}$ undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

Answer: (c), (d)

Solution

The first reaction involves the oxidation of the ethyl group on the benzene ring using $KMnO_4$, $KOH$, and heat, followed by acidification with $H_3O^+$ to form compound (P). Compound (P) is then reacted with $NaOH$ and $H_2O$ in a $S_N^AE$ reaction, followed by acidification to form compound (Q), a $\beta$-keto acid. Upon heating, compound (Q) undergoes decarboxylation to form a carboxylic acid, which is then oxidized using $H_2CrO_4$ to form compound (R). In the second reaction sequence, the brominated compound is reacted with magnesium in dry ether to form a Grignard reagent. This Grignard reagent reacts with carbon dioxide to form a carboxylate, which upon acidification with $H_3O^+$ gives a carboxylic acid. This carboxylic acid is then reacted with ammoniacal $AgNO_3$ to form the final product.

For $\mathrm{He}^+$, a transition takes place from the orbit of radius $105.8 \, \mathrm{pm}$ to the orbit of radius $26.45 \, \mathrm{pm}$. The wavelength (in nm) of the emitted photon during the transition is ___.

Answer: 30

Solution

For single electron system $r = 52.9 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} \ \mathrm{pm}$ Given $Z = 2$ for $\mathrm{He}^+$ $r_2 = 105.8 \ \mathrm{pm}$ So $105.8 = 52.9 \times \frac{n_2^2}{2}$ $n_2 = 2$ $r_1 = 26.45$ So $26.45 = 52.9 \times \frac{n_1^2}{2}$ $n_1 = 1$ So transition is from 2 to 1. Now $\frac{hc}{\lambda} = R_H Z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right)$ So $\lambda = 30 \times 10^{-9} \ \mathrm{m} = 30 \ \mathrm{nanometer}$.

Weight of 50 ml 0.2 molal urea = V $\times$ d = 50 $\times$ 1.012 = 50.6 $\,$ $\mathrm{gm}$. Given 0.2 molal implies 1000 $\,$ $\mathrm{gm}$ $\,$ solvent has $\,$ 0.2 $\,$ moles urea So weight of solution = 1000 + 0.2 $\times$ 60 = 1012 $\,$ $\mathrm{gm}$.

The transition temperature for $\alpha$ to $\beta$ phase is $600\ \mathrm{K}$ and $C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha}$ is independent of temperature in the range of $200\ \mathrm{K}$ to $700\ \mathrm{K}$. If $C_{P,\alpha}$ and $C_{P,\beta}$ are heat capacities of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ phases, respectively, the value of entropy change, $S_\beta-S_\alpha$ (in $\mathrm{J\,mol^{-1}\,K^{-1}}$), at $300\ \mathrm{K}$ is _____. [Use: $\ln 2=0.69$. Given: $S_\beta-S_\alpha=0$ at $0\ \mathrm{K}$]

Answer: 0.31

Solution

At 1 bar $$\alpha \longrightarrow \beta$$ $$S_\alpha^o(600) = S_\alpha^o(300) + C_{P(\alpha)} \ln \frac{600}{300}$$ $$S_\beta^o(600) = S_\beta^o(300) + C_{P(\beta)} \ln \frac{600}{300}$$ $$S_\beta^o(600) - S_\alpha^o(600) = S_\beta^o(300) - S_\alpha^o(300) + (C_{P(\beta)} - C_{P(\alpha)}) \ln 2$$ $$6 - 5 = S_\beta^o(300) - S_\alpha^o(300) + 1 \times \ln 2$$ $$1 = S_\beta^o(300) - S_\alpha^o(300) + 0.69$$ So $$S_\beta^o(300) - S_\alpha^o(300) = 0.31$$

Question 49

The entropy versus temperature plot for phases $\alpha$ and $\beta$ at $1\ \mathrm{bar}$ pressure is given. $S_T$ and $S_0$ are the entropies of the phases at temperatures $T$ and $0\ \mathrm{K}$, respectively. The transition temperature for $\alpha$ to $\beta$ phase is $600\ \mathrm{K}$, and $C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha}$ is independent of temperature in the range of $200\ \mathrm{K}$ to $700\ \mathrm{K}$. If $C_{P,\alpha}$ and $C_{P,\beta}$ are the heat capacities of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ phases, respectively, the value of the enthalpy change, $H_\beta-H_\alpha$ (in $\mathrm{J\,mol^{-1}}$), at $300\ \mathrm{K}$ is ______.

Answer: 300

Solution

As the phase transition temperature is 600 K. So at 600 K $\Delta G^\circ_{rxn} = 0$. So $\Delta H^\circ_{reaction (600)} = T \Delta S^\circ_{reaction (600)}$. $$\Delta H^\circ_{(600)} = 600 \times 1 = 600 Joule/mole$$ So $\Delta H_{600} - \Delta H_{300} = \Delta C_P (T_2 - T_1)$. $$\Delta H_{600} - \Delta H_{300} = 1 \times 300$$ $$\Delta H_{300} = \Delta H_{600} - 300 = 600 - 300 = 300 Joule/mole.$$
