Question 1
Maths · Limits and Derivatives · Single correct
Let $x_0$ be the real number such that $e^{x_0} + x_0 = 0$. For a given real number $\alpha$, define $$g(x) = \frac{3xe^x + 3x - \alpha e^x - \alpha x}{3(e^x + 1)}$$ for all real numbers $x$. Then which one of the following statements is TRUE?
Maths · Applications of Integrals · Single correct
Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Then the area of the region \[ \left\{ (x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}: x>0,\; y>\frac{1}{x},\; 5x-4y-1>0,\; 4x+4y-17<0 \right\} \] is
$\frac{17}{16} - \log_e 4$
$\frac{33}{8} - \log_e 4$
$\frac{57}{8} - \log_e 4$
$\frac{17}{2} - \log_e 4$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given the equations $5x - \frac{4}{x} = 1$ and $4x + \frac{4}{x} = 17$. Solving $5x - \frac{4}{x} = 1$ gives $x = 1$. Solving $4x + \frac{4}{x} = 17$ gives $x = 4$. For $5x - 4y = 1$ and $4x + 4y = 17$, solving gives $x = 2$, $y = \frac{9}{4}$. The area is calculated as follows: $$Area = \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 + \frac{9}{4} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{9}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \right) \cdot 2 - \int_{1}^{4} \frac{dx}{x}$$ This simplifies to: $$Area = \frac{13}{8} + \frac{20}{8} - \log_e 4 = \left( \frac{33}{8} - \log_e 4 \right)$$
Question 3
Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Single correct
The total number of real solutions of the equation $$\theta = \tan^{-1}(2 \tan \theta) - \frac{1}{2} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{6 \tan \theta}{9 + \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$ is (Here, the inverse trigonometric functions $\sin^{-1} x$ and $\tan^{-1} x$ assume values in $\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ and $\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$, respectively.)
Maths · Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines · Single correct
Let $S$ denote the locus of the point of intersection of the pair of lines $$4x - 3y = 12\alpha ,$$ $$4\alpha x + 3\alpha y = 12 ,$$ where $\alpha$ varies over the set of non-zero real numbers. Let $T$ be the tangent to $S$ passing through the points $(p, 0)$ and $(0, q)$, $q > 0$, and parallel to the line $4x - \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}y = 0$. Then the value of $pq$ is
$-6\sqrt{2}$
$-3\sqrt{2}$
$-9\sqrt{2}$
$-12\sqrt{2}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given the equations $4x - 3y = 12\alpha$ and $4x + 3y = \frac{12}{\alpha}$, we have: $$16x^2 - 9y^2 = 144$$ The equation of the curve is: $$\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$$ For the tangent $T$: $y = mx \pm \sqrt{9m^2 - 16}$, where $$m = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$$ Thus, $$y = \frac{4\sqrt{2}x}{3} \pm \sqrt{32 - 16}$$ Simplifying gives: $$3y = 4\sqrt{2}x \pm 12$$ Since $q > 0$, we have: $$3y = 4\sqrt{2}x + 12$$ Therefore, $p = -\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $q = 4$. Finally, $pq = -6\sqrt{2}$.
Question 5
Maths · Matrices · Multiple correct
Let $I = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $P = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \end{pmatrix}$. Let $Q = \begin{pmatrix} x & y \\ z & 4 \end{pmatrix}$ for some non-zero real numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$, for which there is a $2 \times 2$ matrix $R$ with all entries being non-zero real numbers, such that $QR = RP$. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

Let $R$ denote the region lying in the first quadrant, enclosed by the parabola $y^2 = x$, the curve $S$, and the lines $x = 1$ and $x = 4$. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
$(4, \sqrt{3}) \in S$
$(5, \sqrt{2}) \in S$
Area of $R$ is $\frac{14}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}$
Area of $R$ is $\frac{14}{3} - \sqrt{3}$
Answer: (a), (c)
Solution
Given $T = S_1$. The equation is $ky - \left(\frac{x + h}{2}\right) = k^2 - h$. Rearranging gives $x - 2ky + 2k^2 - h = 0$. For $k^2 - h 0$. For the area, interchange $x$ and $y$: $y - 2kx + 2k^2 - h = 0$ and $y = x^2$. The equation becomes $x^2 - 2kx + (2k^2 - h) = 0$. Let the roots be $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Then $|\alpha - \beta| = \sqrt{4k^2 - 4(2k^2 - h)} = \sqrt{4h - 4k^2}$. The area $A = \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} ((2kx + h - 2k^2) - x^2) \, dx$. Solving gives $A = \frac{(4h - 4k^2)^{3/2}}{6} = \frac{4}{3}$. Given $(4h - 4k^2)^{3/2} = 8$, it implies $4h - 4k^2 = 4$. Therefore, $h - k^2 = 1$. The point $(4, \sqrt{3}) \in S$. The area $A = \int_{1}^{4} (\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{x-1}) \, dx = \frac{2}{3} \left( x^{3/2} - (x-1)^{3/2} \right) \bigg|_{1}^{4}$. Calculating gives $A = \frac{2}{3} (8 - 3\sqrt{3} - 1) = \frac{2}{3} (7 - 3\sqrt{3}) = \frac{14}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}$.
Question 7
Maths · Conic Sections · Multiple correct
Let $P(x_1, y_1)$ and $Q(x_2, y_2)$ be two distinct points on the ellipse $$\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$$ such that $y_1 > 0$, and $y_2 > 0$. Let $C$ denote the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 9$, and $M$ be the point $(3, 0)$. Suppose the line $x = x_1$ intersects $C$ at $R$, and the line $x = x_2$ intersects $C$ at $S$, such that the $y$-coordinates of $R$ and $S$ are positive. Let $\angle ROM = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $\angle SOM = \frac{\pi}{3}$, where $O$ denotes the origin $(0, 0)$. Let $|XY|$ denote the length of the line segment $XY$. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
The equation of the line joining $P$ and $Q$ is $2x + 3y = 3\left(1 + \sqrt{3}\right)$
The equation of the line joining $P$ and $Q$ is $2x + y = 3\left(1 + \sqrt{3}\right)$
If $N_2 = (x_2, 0)$, then $3|N_2Q| = 2|N_2S|$
If $N_1 = (x_1, 0)$, then $9|N_1P| = 4|N_1R|$
Answer: (a), (c)
Solution
P is given by $P \equiv (3 \cos 30^\circ, 2 \sin 30^\circ) \equiv \left( \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, 1 \right)$. Q is given by $Q \equiv (3 \cos 60^\circ, 2 \sin 60^\circ) \equiv \left( \frac{3}{2}, \sqrt{3} \right)$. R is $\left( \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2} \right)$ and S is $\left( \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)$. The slope of $PQ$ is $m_{PQ} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}} = -\frac{2}{3}$. The equation of line $PQ$ is $$y - \sqrt{3} = -\frac{2}{3} \left( x - \frac{3}{2} \right)$$ which simplifies to $$\Rightarrow 2x + 3y = 3(\sqrt{3} + 1)$$ option (A) is correct. Now, if $N_2 = (x_2, 0) = \left( \frac{3}{2}, 0 \right)$, $|N_2Q| = \sqrt{3}$ and $|N_2S| = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $\Rightarrow 3|N_2Q| = 2|N_2S|$ option (C) is correct. Now, if $N_1 = (x_1, 0) \Rightarrow N_1 = \left( \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, 0 \right)$ $\Rightarrow |N_1P| = 1$, $|N_1R| = \frac{3}{2}$ option (D) is incorrect.
Question 8
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Multiple correct
Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be defined by $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{6x + \sin x}{2x + \sin x} & if x \neq 0, \\ \frac{7}{3} & if x = 0. \end{cases}$$ Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
The point $x = 0$ is a point of local maxima of $f$
The point $x = 0$ is a point of local minima of $f$
Number of points of local maxima of $f$ in the interval $[\pi, 6\pi]$ is 3
Number of points of local minima of $f$ in the interval $[2\pi, 4\pi]$ is 1
Answer: (b), (c), (d)
Solution
The limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches $0^+$ is equal to the limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches $0^-$, which is $3$. Since $3 > \frac{7}{3} > f(0)$, it implies $x = 0$ is a local minima. Therefore, option (B) is correct. Now, $$f(x) = \frac{6x + \sin x}{2x + \sin x} = 1 + \frac{4x}{2x + \sin x}$$ The derivative $f'(x)$ is given by: $$f'(x) = \frac{4\left[(2x + \sin x) \cdot 1 - x(2 + \cos x)\right]}{(2x + \sin x)^2} = \frac{4(\sin x - x \cos x)}{(2x + \sin x)^2}$$ This simplifies to: $$= \frac{4 \cos x (\tan x - x)}{(2x + \sin x)^2}$$
Question 9
Maths · Differential Equations · Numerical
Let $y(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation $$x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + xy = x^2 + y^2, x > \frac{1}{e},$$ satisfying $y(1) = 0$. Then the value of $2 \frac{(y(e))^2}{y(e^2)}$ is .
Answer: 0.75
Solution
Put $y = vx$ which implies $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$. Differential Equation (D.E.): $$x^2 \left( v + x \frac{dv}{dx} \right) + x^2 v = x^2 \left( 1 + v^2 \right)$$ This implies: $$v + x \frac{dv}{dx} - v = 1 + v^2$$ Thus: $$x \frac{dv}{dx} = 1 + v^2 - 2v$$ Integrating both sides: $$\int \frac{dv}{(v-1)^2} = \int \frac{dx}{x}$$ This gives: $$\frac{-1}{v-1} = \ln |x| + C$$ Rearranging: $$\frac{x}{x-y} = \ln |x| + C = \ln x + C (Since x > \frac{1}{e})$$ Given $y(1) = 0$, we find $C = 1$. So: $$\frac{x}{x-y} = \ln (ex)$$ Now $y = (e) = \frac{e}{2}$ and $y(e^2) = \frac{2e^2}{3}$. Therefore: $$\frac{2 \left( y(e) \right)^2}{y(e^2)} = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{e^2}{4}}{\frac{2e^2}{3}} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75$$
Question 10
Maths · Binomial Theorem · Fill in the blank
Let $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_{23}$ be real numbers such that $$\left(1 + \frac{2}{5}x\right)^{23} = \sum_{i=0}^{23} a_i x^i$$ for every real number $x$. Let $a_r$ be the largest among the numbers $a_j$ for $0 \leq j \leq 23$. The the value of $r$ is
Answer: 6
Solution
For $x = 1$ $$\left(1 + \frac{2}{5}\right)^{23} = a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{23}$$ for numerically greatest term $$\frac{n+1}{1 + \left|\frac{a}{b}\right|} = \frac{23+1}{1 + \frac{5}{2}} = \frac{48}{7}$$ $$\Rightarrow \left\lfloor \frac{48}{7} \right\rfloor = 6 = m (where [.] greatest integer function)$$ so, $T_7$ is numerical greatest term. Hence $r = 6$
Question 11
Maths · Probability · Fill in the blank
A factory has a total of three manufacturing units, $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$, which produce bulbs independent of each other. The units $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of 2: 2: 1, respectively. It is known that 20$\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that, of all the bulbs produced by $M_1$, 15$\%$ are defective. Suppose that, if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective, the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$, then the probability that it is defective is___________.
Answer: 0.3
Solution
Now given probability $$P\left(Produced by M_2, defective\right) = \frac{40}{100} \times \frac{14-x}{40} \times \frac{40}{100} = \frac{2}{5}$$ $\($$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{14-x}{40}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$$\)$ $\($$\Rightarrow$ 14-x = 8$\)$ $\($$\Rightarrow$ x = 6$\)$ So, the required probability $$= \frac{6}{20} = 0.3$$

For two distinct positive real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, define $\vec{X} = \alpha \vec{x} + \beta \vec{y} - \vec{z}$, $\vec{Y} = \alpha \vec{y} + \beta \vec{z} - \vec{x}$, and $\vec{Z} = \alpha \vec{z} + \beta \vec{x} - \vec{y}$. If the vectors $\vec{X}, \vec{Y}$, and $\vec{Z}$ lie in a plane, the value of $\alpha + \beta - 3$ is ________.

For a non-zero complex number $z$, let $\arg(z)$ denote the principal argument of $z$, with $-\pi < \arg(z) \leq \pi$. Let $\omega$ be the cube root of unity for which $0 < \arg(\omega) < \pi$. Let $$\alpha = \arg\left(\sum_{n=1}^{2025} (-\omega)^n\right).$$ Then the value of $\frac{3\alpha}{\pi}$ is .

Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ and $g: \mathbb{R} \to (0, 4)$ be functions defined by $f(x) = \log_e (x^2 + 2x + 4)$, and $g(x) = \frac{4}{1 + e^{-2x}}$. Define the composite function $f \circ g^{-1}$ by $(f \circ g^{-1})(x) = (g^{-1}(x))$, where $g^{-1}$ is the inverse of the function $g$. Then the value of the derivative of the composite function $f \circ g^{-1}$ at $x = 2$ is ________.
Let $$ \alpha = \frac{1}{\sin 60^\circ \sin 61^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin 62^\circ \sin 63^\circ} + \ldots + \frac{1}{\sin 118^\circ \sin 119^\circ}. $$ Then the value of $$ \left( \frac{\csc 1^\circ}{\alpha} \right)^2 $$ is .
Answer: 3.0
Solution
Given $$\alpha = \sum_{r=30}^{59} \frac{1}{\sin(2r)^\circ \sin(2r+1)^\circ}$$ We have $$\frac{\alpha}{\csc 1^\circ} = \sum_{r=30}^{59} \frac{\sin 1^\circ}{\sin(2r)^\circ \sin(2r+1)^\circ}$$ This simplifies to $$= \sum_{r=30}^{59} (\cot(2r)^\circ - \cot(2r+1)^\circ)$$ Which equals $$= \cot 60^\circ - \cot 61^\circ + \cot 62^\circ - \cot 63^\circ$$ $$\vdots$$ $$+ \cot(118^\circ) - \cot(119^\circ)$$ Thus, $$\frac{\alpha}{\csc 1^\circ} = \cot 60^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$ Finally, $$\left( \frac{\csc 1^\circ}{\alpha} \right)^2 = 3$$

Question 18

Two co-axial conducting cylinders of same length $\ell$ with radii $\sqrt{2}R$ and $2R$ are kept, as shown in Fig. 1. The charge on the inner cylinder is $Q$ and the outer cylinder is grounded. The annular region between the cylinders is filled with a material of dielectric constant $\kappa = 5$. Consider an imaginary plane of the same length $\ell$ at a distance $R$ from the common axis of the cylinders. This plane is parallel to the axis of the cylinders. The cross-sectional view of this arrangement is shown in Fig. 2. Ignoring edge effects, the flux of the electric field through the plane is ($\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space):
$\frac{Q}{30 \epsilon_0}$
$\frac{Q}{15 \epsilon_0}$
$\frac{Q}{60 \epsilon_0}$
$\frac{Q}{120 \epsilon_0}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Here we are assuming that "r" is very large just for the sake of symmetry. Outside cylinder will have zero electric field inside, so the flux generated on the plate will be due to inner cylinder only in sections AB and CD, as section be will be at that place where electric field is zero. Flux through element will be $$d\phi = \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{S}$$ $$d\phi = \frac{2k\lambda}{r} \, dy \, \ell \, \cos \theta \ldots (1)$$ From figure we can say that $$\cos \theta = \frac{R}{r} \implies r = R \sec \theta$$ $$\tan \theta = \frac{y}{R} \implies y = R \tan \theta$$ $$\implies dy = R \sec^2 \theta \, d\theta$$ $$d\phi = \frac{2k\lambda}{R \sec \theta} \, R \sec^2 \theta \, \ell \, \cos \theta \, d\theta$$ $$d\phi = 2k\lambda \ell \, d\theta$$ $$\int_0^{\phi_{AB}} d\phi = 2k\lambda \ell \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3} d\theta$$ $$\phi_{AB} = 2k\lambda \ell \left[ \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{4} \right]$$ $$\phi_{AB} = 2kQ \left[ \frac{\pi}{12} \right]$$ $$\phi_{AB} = 2 \times \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon_r} Q \left[ \frac{\pi}{12} \right]$$ $$\phi_{AB} = \frac{Q}{120 \epsilon_0}$$ $$\phi_{plate} = \phi_{AB} + \phi_{BC} + \phi_{CD} (\phi_{CD} = \phi_{AB})$$ $$\phi_{plate} = \frac{Q}{60 \epsilon_0}$$
Question 19

As shown in the figures, a uniform rod $OO'$ of length $l$ is hinged at the point $O$ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $(O')$ of the rod, as shown in Fig. 1 and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $f_1$. On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Fig. 2 and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is $f_2$. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is:
2
$\sqrt{2}$
$\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
For Fig. 1, the equation is given by: $$ \frac{ML^2}{3} \ddot{\theta} + K \frac{\ell}{2} \frac{\theta}{2} + K \ell \ddot{\ell} = 0 $$ Simplifying, we have: $$ \ddot{\theta} + \frac{15k}{4M} \theta = 0 $$ Thus, $$ \ddot{\theta} = -\left( \frac{15k}{4M} \right) \theta $$ The angular frequency is: $$ \omega_1 = \sqrt{\frac{15K}{4M}} $$ For Fig. 2, the equation is: $$ \frac{1}{3} ML^2 \ddot{\theta} + 2K \frac{L}{2} \theta \frac{L}{2} = 0 $$ Simplifying, we have: $$ \ddot{\theta} + \frac{3K}{2M} \theta = 0 $$ Thus, $$ \ddot{\theta} = -\frac{3K}{2M} \theta $$ The angular frequency is: $$ \omega_2 = \sqrt{\frac{3K}{2M}} $$ Finally, the ratio of the angular frequencies is: $$ \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} = \sqrt{\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}} $$

Heat supplied to the hot reservoir of the heat pump in one cycle is 540 \, $\mathrm{J}$.
Answer: (a), (b), (c)
Solution
Given $T_1 = 1000 \, \mathrm{K}$ and $T_3 = 300 \, \mathrm{K}$. $Q_1 = 150 \, \mathrm{J}$. The efficiency $\eta = 0.4$ and $(\mathrm{COP})_{\mathrm{HP}} = 10$. The work done $W = \eta \times Q_1 = 0.4 \times 150 = 60 \, \mathrm{J}$. The coefficient of performance is given by $$\mathrm{COP} = \frac{Dissered Effect}{Work input}.$$ Thus, $$10 = \frac{Q_3}{W}.$$ Solving for $Q_3$, we get $Q_3 = 600 \, \mathrm{J}$. Also, $$\eta = 0.4 = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}.$$ Solving for $T_2$, we find $T_2 = 600 \, \mathrm{K}$. The coefficient of performance is also given by $$\mathrm{COP} = \frac{T_3}{T_3 - T_4} = 10.$$ Solving for $T_4$, we have $$\frac{300}{300 - T_4} = 10.$$ Therefore, $T_4 = 270 \, \mathrm{K}$.

The ratio of the magnitudes of the magnetic dipole moment to the angular momentum about the same axis is given as $\alpha \frac{Q}{2M}$. The value of $\alpha$ is _______.
Answer: 1.66
Solution
Given the diagram, we have: $$dM = dI A$$ The area is given by: $$A = \pi r^2 = \pi (R \sin \theta)^2$$ The differential current is: $$dI = \frac{da}{T} = \frac{\sigma (2 \pi r)(R d\theta) \omega}{2 \pi}$$ Simplifying, we get: $$dI = \frac{\sigma 2 \pi R^2 \omega \sin \theta d\theta}{2 \pi}$$ The torque is: $$d\tau = \sigma R^2 \omega \sin \theta \, d\theta$$ Magnetic dipole moment: $$M = \int dM = \int_0^{\pi} \sigma R^2 \omega \pi R^2 \sin^3 \theta \, d\theta$$ Simplifying, we have: $$M = \sigma R^4 \omega \pi \int_0^{\pi} \sin^3 \theta \, d\theta \left( \because \int_0^{\pi} \sin^3 \theta \, d\theta = \frac{4}{3} \right)$$ Thus: $$M = \left( \frac{Q}{4 \pi R^2} \right) R^4 \omega \pi \left( \frac{4}{3} \right)$$ Magnetic dipole moment: $$M = \frac{Q R^2 \omega}{3}$$ Angular momentum: $$L = \left( \frac{2}{5} M R^2 \right) \omega$$ The ratio is: $$\frac{M}{L} = \frac{\frac{Q R^2 \omega}{3}}{\frac{2}{5} M R^2 \omega} = \frac{Q}{2M} \left( \frac{5}{3} \right)$$ Finally, we find: $$\alpha = \frac{5}{3} = 1.67$$
Question 26
Physics · Atoms · Numerical
A hydrogen atom, initially at rest in its ground state, absorbs a photon of frequency $\nu_1$ and ejects the electron with a kinetic energy of $10 \, \mathrm{eV}$. The electron then combines with a positron at rest to form a positronium atom in its ground state and simultaneously emits a photon of frequency $\nu_2$. The center of mass of the resulting positronium atom moves with a kinetic energy of $5 \, \mathrm{eV}$. It is given that positron has the same mass as that of electron and the positronium atom can be considered as a Bohr atom, in which the electron and the positron orbit around their center of mass. Considering no other energy loss during the whole process, the difference between the two photon energies (in eV) is ____
Answer: 11.8
Solution
Given $h \nu_1 = 13.6 + 10 = 23.6 \, \mathrm{eV}$ ....(1) Energy of positronium in ground state $$-13.6 \frac{\mu}{m} \left( \frac{z}{n} \right)^2 \, \mathrm{eV}$$ $$= -13.6 \times \frac{1}{2} \, \mathrm{eV} = -6.8 \, \mathrm{eV}$$ So to make positronium $6.8 \, \mathrm{eV}$ must release $\&$ $5 \, \mathrm{eV}$ is the KE of COM. So total energy of photon released $(h \nu_2)$ will be: $$h \nu_2 = (10 - 5) + 6.8 = 11.8 \, \mathrm{eV} ...(2)$$ Therefore, difference in energy $= 23.6 - 11.8 = 11.8 \, \mathrm{eV}$

It experiences a viscous drag force $\vec{F} = -c \vec{v}$ where the drag coefficient $c = 0.1 \, \mathrm{kg/s}$ and $\vec{v}$ is the instantaneous velocity of the projectile. The projectile hits a vertical wall after 2 s. Taking $e = 2.7$, the horizontal distance of the wall from the point of projection (in m) is
Answer: 170
Solution
The net force is given by $\vec{F}_{net} = m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}$. The equation becomes $mg + \vec{F} = m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}$. Simplifying, we have $mg - C\vec{v} = m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}$. In the horizontal direction, $-Cv_x = m \frac{dv_x}{dt}$. Integrating, we have $$-\frac{C}{m} \int_0^t dt = \int_{v_{0x}}^{v_x} \frac{dv_x}{v_x}$$ which gives $$-\frac{t}{2} = \ln \frac{v_x}{v_{0x}}.$$ The velocity is given by $\frac{dx}{dt} = v_x = v_{0x} e^{-t/2}$. Integrating the position, $$\int_0^{S_x} dx = v_{0x} \int_0^t e^{-t/2} dt.$$ This results in $$S_x = 2v_{0x} \left(1 - e^{-t/2}\right).$$ At $t = 2$ sec, $$S_x = 2 \times 270 \times \cos 60^\circ \left[1 - \frac{1}{e}\right].$$ Simplifying, $$S_x = 270 \left[1 - \frac{1}{2.7}\right] = \frac{270}{2.7} \times (1.7) = 170 \, \mathrm{m}.$$ Therefore, $S_x = 170 \, \mathrm{m}$.

The number of ribose unit(s) present in one molecule of the octasaccharide is ______.

Answer: 2
Solution
Octasaccharide with molecular mass 1024 and 7 $\mathrm{H_2O}$ with molecular mass 126 react to form ribose, 2-deoxyribose, and glucose. The total mass is $1024 + 126 = 1150$. $$58.26 = \frac{134 \times n}{1150} \times 100$$ $$\frac{66.999}{100} = 134n$$ Solving for $n$, we get $n = 4.99 \approx 5$. There are 5 units of 2-deoxyribose. $$1150 = (5 \times 150) + (x \times 150) + (y \times 180)$$ $$1150 = \frac{750}{5 unit} + \frac{150x}{2 unit} + \frac{180y}{1 unit}$$ Solving for $n$, we find $n = 2.00$.
