Q7. Which of the following is a complex of globular protein with non-proteinaceous material?

  • A. Collagen
  • B. Egg albumen
  • C. Hemoglobin
  • D. Fibrinogen
  • E. Keratin

Explanation: Haemoglobin is a globular protein that binds to a non-proteinaceous substance, haem, which carries oxygen. This material is known as a prosthetic group and influences the shape of the polypeptide.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Collagen is a fibrous protein and does not typically form complexes with non-proteinaceous material.
  • B. Egg albumen, which is the egg white, primarily consists of a globular protein called albumin and water, but it does not typically form complexes with non-proteinaceous material.
  • D. Fibrinogen is a fibrous protein. When blood clotting is triggered, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, forming a meshwork to stop bleeding.
  • E. Keratin is a structural fibrous protein found in hair, nails, and the outer layer of the skin. It does not typically form complexes with non-proteinaceous material.

Q8. Which one of the following statement is INCORRECT for antibodies?

  • A. They are formed from plasma cells
  • B. They are present in blood
  • C. They are present in lymph
  • D. They are present in saliva.

Explanation: Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are primarily found in blood and lymph, where they play a crucial role in the immune system's response to infections and foreign substances. While antibodies can be found in various bodily fluids and secretions, including saliva, their primary location is not in saliva.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Antibodies are indeed produced by plasma cells in response to an antigen.
  • B. Antibodies are present in blood, where they circulate and help the immune system respond to infections and pathogens.
  • C. Antibodies are also present in lymph, which is a crucial part of the immune system's transport and defense network.

  • A. They lower the activation energy
  • B. They decrease the rate of reaction
  • C. They are specific in their action
  • D. They are present at the end of the reaction
  • E. They are pH sensitive

Explanation: Enzymes, in fact, increase the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do not decrease the rate of a reaction.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Enzymes lower the activation energy, making it easier for a chemical reaction to occur.
  • C. Enzymes are highly specific in their action. Each enzyme typically catalyzes a specific reaction or set of reactions.
  • D. Enzymes are not present at the end of the reaction. They remain unchanged after the reaction and can be used again in subsequent reactions.
  • E. Enzymes can be pH-sensitive, meaning they may have an optimal pH at which they function most efficiently. Changes in pH can affect enzyme activity.

Q10. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum differs from smooth endoplasmic reticulum due to presence of;

  • A. Ribosomes
  • B. Lysosomes
  • C. Mitochondria
  • D. Golgi Bodies (Golgi Apparatus)

Explanation: Ribosomes are the correct answer. They are small structures that are present on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), giving it a rough appearance. These ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes involved in cellular digestion and waste disposal. They are not a distinguishing feature of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
  • C. Mitochondria are separate organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP. They are not a part of the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • D. Golgi apparatus is another organelle involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for it

Q11. Which one of the following is a correct Pair

  • A. Mitochondria : provide barrier to cell
  • B. Golgi apparatus : Synthesis of polysaccharide
  • C. Ribosomes : Cell secretion
  • D. Endoplasmie Reticulum : Provide energy to cell
  • E. Lysosomes: Membrane bounded organelle which converts fats into sugar

Explanation: Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis, not cell secretion.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They do not provide a barrier to the cell.
  • B. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transport.It is not primarily responsible for the synthesis of polysaccharides.
  • D. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids and plays a role in various cellular processes. It does not primarily provide energy to the cell.
  • E. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that are involved in cellular digestion and waste disposal. They do not convert fats into sugar.

Q12. The Heart Beat initiates at

  • A. AV Node
  • B. SA Node
  • C. Purkinje Fibers
  • D. Bundle of His

Explanation: The SA node is often referred to as the "natural pacemaker" of the heart. It is located in the right atrium and initiates the electrical impulse that controls the heart's rhythm. The SA node is responsible for starting each heartbeat.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The AV node is located between the atria and the ventricles in the heart. It acts as a relay station that slows down the electrical signal briefly to allow the atria to contract before the ventricles.
  • C. Purkinje fibers are specialized muscle fibers that transmit the electrical impulses from the AV node to the ventricles, causing them to contract.
  • D. The Bundle of His is a continuation of the AV node and conducts the electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles, ensuring that the ventricles contract after the atria.

Q13. Homeostasis means

  • A. Maintenance of internal environment by depending on external environment to some extent
  • B. Maintenance of a constant internal environment by depending on the external environment to some extent.
  • C. Maintenance of internal environtnent by totally depending on external environment
  • D. Maintenance of variable interrial,environnient by depending on external environment to some extent

Explanation: Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable and balanced internal environment, despite changes in the external environment. It involves a dynamic equilibrium where the body can adjust to maintain conditions like temperature, blood pressure, and various physiological parameters within a certain range.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Maintenance of a constant internal environment by totally depending on the external environment is incorrect.Homeostasis involves regulating internal conditions despite changes in the external environment, so total dependence on the external environment contradicts the concept of homeostasis.
  • C. Maintenance of a variable internal environment by totally depending on the external environment is also incorrect. Homeostasis aims to keep internal conditions relatively stable, not variable, and it relies on internal control mechanisms in response to external changes.
  • D. Maintenance of a variable internal environment by depending on the external environment to some extent is also inaccurate. Homeostasis strives to maintain internal conditions within a specific range, not as variable, and it relies on internal regulatory processes.

Q14. Exchange of gases between body and environment takes place in

  • A. Pulmonary Vein
  • B. Pulmonary Artery
  • C. Bronchi
  • D. Alveoli
  • E. Trachea

Explanation: The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the bloodstream takes place. They have a large surface area and are well suited for efficient gas exchange.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. It is not the site of gas exchange with the environment.
  • B. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. It is not the site of gas exchange with the environment.
  • C. The bronchi are the air passages that connect the trachea to the lungs. While they help transport air, the actual exchange of gases with the environment occurs in the alveoli within the lungs.
  • E. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, serves as an airway that allows air to pass to and from the lungs. However, gas exchange does not occur in the trachea.

Q15. The correct sequence of parts of digestive canal is

  • A. Mouth → Esophagus → Stomach → Small Intestine » Large Intestine
  • B. Stomach » Small Intestine → Esophagus → Mouth.
  • C. Small Intestine → Esophagus → Mouth → Stomach
  • D. Large Intestine → Small Intestine → Esophagus → Mouth » Stomach.

Explanation: This sequence represents the typical path of food through the digestive system. Food enters the mouth, travels down the esophagus to the stomach, then proceegs to the small intestine for digestion and absorption of nutrients before passing into the large intestine for further processing and elimination.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. This sequence is not accurate. The stomach comes after the mouth and esophagus in the digestive process, so it doesn't make sense for the stomach to be listed first.
  • C. This sequence is also not accurate. The small intestine is further along in the digestive process compared to the esophagus and the mouth. Food doesn't move backward in this manner.
  • D. This sequence is jumbled, and it doesn't accurately represent the natural flow of the digestive process. The large intestine should follow the small intestine in the order of digestion.

Q16. Mushroom and yeast are the members of

  • A. Kingdom Plantae
  • B. Kingdom Animalia
  • C. Kingdom Protista
  • D. Kingdom Fungi
  • E. Kingdom Monera

Explanation: Fungi are a kingdom of eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that includes mushrooms, yeast, molds, and more. They are characterized by their ability to break down and absorb nutrients from organic matter. Mushrooms are a well-known example of fungi.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Plants belong to this kingdom. They are multicellular, photosynthetic organisms. Examples include trees, flowers, and grass.
  • B. Animals belong to this kingdom. They are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms. Examples include mammals, birds, and insects.
  • C. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms, including algae and protozoa. They are not related to fungi.
  • E. Monera was once used to describe a kingdom of single-celled prokaryotic organisms, including bacteria.It's not relevant to fungi like mushrooms and yeast.

Q17. Which one of the following is Endoparasite

  • A. Ticks
  • B. Mites
  • C. Plasmodium
  • D. Fleas
  • E. Lice

Explanation: Plasmodium is an endoparasite responsible for causing malaria. It is a protozoan parasite that infects red blood cells and lives inside them.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Ticks are ectoparasites, which means they live on the outside of the host's body and feed on blood by attaching to the host's skin.
  • B. Mites can be either ectoparasites or endoparasites, depending on the species. Some mites live on the surface of the host's body (ectoparasites), while others can burrow into the host's skin or tissues (endoparasites).
  • D. Fleas are ectoparasites that infest the fur and skin of mammals, including humans, and feed on their blood.
  • E. Lice are ectoparasites that live on the surface of the host's body, such as in the hair or on clothing, and feed on the host's blood.

Q18. The opening of stomata leads to I) increase in photosynthesis II) Increase in transpiration lll) Loss of chlorophyll

  • A. I only
  • B. ll only
  • C. l and ll only
  • D. l and lll only
  • E. l, ll and lll

Explanation: (l) Increase in photosynthesis: Stomata are small openings in plant leaves and stems that allow the exchange of gases, including the intake of carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis. When stomata open, it allows more CO2 to enter the leaf, facilitating an increase in photosynthesis. (Il) Increase in transpiration: Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from the plant, primarily through the stomata. When stomata open to allow CO2 entry, it also leads to an increase in water loss (transpiration) as a result. (III) Loss of chlorophyll: Stomata openings do not directly lead to the loss of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is present in chloroplasts within the plant cells and plays a critical role in capturing light energy for photosynthesis.

Q19. The loss of water in some plants by hyclathodes is called

  • A. Guttation
  • B. Transpiration
  • C. Transportation
  • D. Translocation

Explanation: Guttation is the process by which water is released from the tips or edges of leaves through specialized structures called hydathodes. This typically occurs at night when the plant's transpiration rate is low, and the root pressure forces water out of the hydathodes. Guttation results in the exudation of liquid water, often containing dissolved minerals, from the plant.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water vapor through small openings called stomata on the surface of leaves. It occurs mainly during the day as the plant takes up carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and releases oxygen.
  • C. Transportation is not a term used in the context of plant water loss or physiology.
  • D. Translocation refers to the movement of sugars and other organic compounds within a plant, typically from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It is related to the transport of nutrients, not water loss.

Q20. The conifers like pines are

  • A. Gymnosperms
  • B. Angiosperms
  • C. Ferns
  • D. Moss
  • E. Bryophytes

Explanation: Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants, which includes conifers like pines. They are characterized by their seeds that are not enclosed within fruits.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within fruits. They are distinct from gymnosperms.
  • C. Ferns are non-seed vascular plants, and they reproduce via spores. They are not related to conifers or gymnosperms.
  • D. Mosses are non-vascular plants and reproduce via spores. They are not related to conifers or gymnosperms.
  • E. Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They are not gymnosperms.

Q21. Which of the following in a part of pectoral girdle?

  • A. Femur
  • B. Patella
  • C. Tibia and Fibula
  • D. Glenoid Cavity
  • E. Pubis

Explanation: The glenoid cavity is a part of the scapula (shoulder blade) and is involved in forming the shoulder joint. It is indeed a component of the pectoral girdle.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The femur is the thigh bone and is part of the lower limb, not the pectoral girdle.
  • B. The patella is the kneecap and is also part of the lower limb, not the pectoral girdle.
  • C. The tibia and fibula are the shinbones of the lower limb and are not part of the pectoral girdle.
  • E. The pubis is a bone in the pelvic region and is part of the pelvic girdle, not the pectoral girdle.

Q22. Which one of the following is correct sequence of taxonomic levels?

  • A. Class, genus, family, order
  • B. Genus, family, order, class
  • C. Class, order, genus, family
  • D. Family, order, class, genus

Explanation: This sequence is also not in the correct order. It begins with family, which is more specifia, and should start with broader categories.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. This sequence is not in the correct order. The order should start with broader categories(e.g., kingdom, phylum) and proceed to narrower categories (e.g., genus, species).
  • B. This option starts with a more specific category (genus) and then proceeds to broader categories. The correct sequence should move from broader to more specific categories.
  • C. This option starts with class and then moves to order, genus, and family. It is closer to the correct sequence but still not in the correct order.

Q23. Which one of the following endocrine gland and hormone Is NOT paired correctly?

  • A. Adrenal Medulla : Norepinephrine
  • B. Adrenal Cortex : Glucdcorticold
  • C. Pituitary gland : Estrogen
  • D. Pancreas : Insulin
  • E. Parathyrold:Paratharmone

Explanation: The pituitary gland is responsible for producing various hormones, but estrogen is not primarily produced by the pituitary gland. Estrogen is mainly produced by the ovaries in females and plays a significant role in the female reproductive system.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The adrenal medulla produces hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine, which are involved in the "fight or flight" response.
  • B. The adrenal cortex produces hormones, including glucocorticoids like cortisol and mineralocorticoids like aldosterone.
  • D. The pancreas produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels.
  • E. The parathyroid gland produces parathormone (parathyroid hormone), which is involved in regulating calcium and phosphate levels in the blood.

Q24. Which one of the following is WRONG about human female reproductive system?

  • A. Leutal phase is absent
  • B. Menstrual phase is of 4 to 5 days
  • C. Menstrual cycle is of 28 + 5 days
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: This statement is incorrect. The luteal phase is a crucial part of the menstrual cycle, which occurs after ovulation when the corpus luteum forms from the ovarian follicle that released an egg. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, and this phase is essential for preparing the uterine lining for potential implantation of a fertilized egg.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. This statement is accurate. The menstrual phase typically lasts around 4 to 5 days and involves the shedding of the uterine lining.
  • C. This statement is also accurate. The average menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but variations are common, and it can range from 21 to 35 days. The menstrual cycle includes the phases of the menstrual period, follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase.
  • D. This option is not correct since option (A) is incorrect.

Q25. Which one of the following describes function of insulin?

  • A. It breaks down blood glucose
  • B. It catalyzes the condensation of glucose to form glycogen
  • C. It enables glucose to enter cells.
  • D. It prevents glucose from being excreted by the kidney

Explanation: This is the central function of insulin. Insulin binds to receptors on cell membranes, allowing glucose to enter cells for energy production and storage.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. This is not the function of insulin. Insulin's primary role is to lower blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, not breaking it down.
  • B. This is not the primary function of insulin, although insulin does promote the conversion of glucose to glycogen in the liver and muscles when blood glucose levels are high. This helps store excess glucose as glycogen.
  • D. This is also a function of insulin. It reduces glucose excretion by the kidneys, helping to maintain blood glucose levels within a normal range.

Q26. In prophase of mitosis, which one of th'eIollowing events occur in animal cells but not in plant cells?

  • A. Centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the nucleus
  • B. Chromosomes become invisible due to condensation
  • C. Homologous chromosomes do not associate
  • D. The nuclear envelope (membrane) breaks down
  • E. Nucleoli in the nucleus disappear

Explanation: Centrioles are a part of the animal cell's centrosome and play a role in organizing the spindle fibers during cell division. Plant cells do not have centrioles in the same way animal cells do, so this specific migration of centrioles does not occur in plant cells.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. This is a common event in both animal and plant cells during prophase. Chromosomes condense, making them more visible and distinct.
  • C. During mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not associate. This is typical for both animal and plant cells.
  • D. The breakdown of the nuclear envelope is a common event during prophase in both animal and plant cells. This allows the spindle fibers to access the chromosomes.
  • E. The disappearance of nucleoli is a common event in both animal and plant cells during prophase.

Q27. Sweat Pea belongs to

  • A. Family Rosaceae
  • B. Family Roseaceae
  • C. Family Solanaceae
  • D. Family Mimoaceae
  • E. Family Fabaceae

Explanation: The Fabaceae family, also known as the Leguminosae family, includes plants like peas, beans, and, indeed, Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus). So, Sweet Pea belongs to the Fabaceae family.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. The Rosaceae family includes plants like roses, apples, and strawberries. It is not the family of Sweet Pea.
  • B. This is a variant of the "Rosaceae" family, and it is also unrelated to Sweet Pea.
  • C. The Solanaceae family includes plants like tomatoes and potatoes. It is not the family of Sweet Pea.
  • D. The "Mimoaceae" family is not a recognized botanical family, and it is unrelated to Sweet Pea.

Q28. The Protozoa digests the cellulose living in the gut of termites. This is an example of

  • A. Mutualism
  • B. Parasitism
  • C. Commensalism
  • D. Competition

Explanation: Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship where both species benefit from their association. In the case of termites and protozoa, termites provide a protected environment and food source (cellulose) for protozoa, while protozoa aid termites in digesting cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate that termites can't break down on their own.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of the other. It does not apply to the mutualistic relationship between protozoa and termites.
  • C. Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits, and the other is neither helped nor harmed. The relationship between protozoa and termites is more mutually beneficial than commensal.
  • D. Competition refers to a situation in which two or more organisms compete for limited resources. It does not describe the interaction between protozoa and termites.

Q29. Correct Definition of Niche is

  • A. Group of individuals living together and compete for existence
  • B. Role played by a species in a community in a particular environment
  • C. Different populations existing in the same place
  • D. Individuals interbreeding with each other

Explanation: This is the correct definition. A niche is the ecological role a species plays in its community, including its interactions with other species and its use of resources.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. This describes the concept of a population or community competing for resources but doesn't specifically define a niche.
  • C. This refers to coexistence but doesn't directly describe the concept of a niche.
  • D. This describes the concept of a population or species but doesn't provide a definition of a niche.

Q30. The process by which single stranded RNA is synthesized from double stranded DNA is called

  • A. Translation
  • B. Transportation
  • C. Transcription
  • D. Transpiration

Explanation: Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template. It involves the creation of an RNA molecule complementary to a segment of DNA.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Translation is the process by which the information in mRNA is used to build a protein. It involves the synthesis of a polypeptide chain from amino acids.
  • B. Transportation is not related to genetic processes and is unrelated to the synthesis of RNA.
  • D. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from plant parts, primarily through small openings called stomata, and is unrelated to genetic processes.

Q31. If the anticodon in titNA is UAG, th rresponding code for it in DNA would he

  • A. UAG
  • B. TAG
  • C. COT
  • D. GCT

Explanation: In the genetic code, a codon (a sequence of three nucleotides) in mRNA corresponds to an anticodon in tRNA. In this case, the anticodon UAG in tRNA corresponds to the codon TAG in DNA. The relationship between DNA codons and RNA codons (anticodons) is a key part of the genetic code.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. This is an incorrect option. UAG is an anticodon in tRNA and corresponds to the codon TAG in DNA or mRNA. It's not the same as the anticodon.
  • C. This is not a valid codon or anticodon. Codons and anticodons consist of three specific nucleotide bases.
  • D. This is not a valid codon or anticodon. In the genetic code, codons are typically composed of the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), which pair with uracil (U) in RNA. GCT does not represent a valid codon or anticodon.

Q32. The bonding which exists between A, T and C, G is called

  • A. Covalent Bonding
  • B. Ionic Bonding
  • C. Hydrogen Bonding
  • D. Phosphodiester Bonding

Explanation: Hydrogen bonding is the specific type of bonding that occurs between complementary base pairs in DNA. Adenine (A) forms hydrogen bonds with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) forms hydrogen bonds with guanine (G).

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, leading to the formation of molecules. While there are covalent bonds within the individual nucleotides of DNA, the bonds between base pairs are not covalent.
  • B. lonic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged ions.This is not the type of bonding that holds the base pairs in DNA together.
  • D. Phosphodiester bonding refers to the covalent bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next nucleotide in the DNA backbone. It is not related to the hydrogen bonding between base pairs.

Q33. Which one of the following is genetic Mutation?

  • A. Frame shift
  • B. Silent
  • C. Point
  • D. All of the above

Explanation: A frame-shift mutation is a type of genetic mutation where the insertion or deletion of nucleotides shifts the reading frame of a gene, leading to a change in the resulting protein.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Silent mutations are genetic mutations that do not result in any change in the amino acid sequence of a protein.They are often considered neutral as they have no impact on the protein's function.
  • C. Point mutations are genetic mutations that involve a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence. They can result in various effects, including silent mutations, missense mutations, or nonsense mutations.
  • D. This option implies that all the mentioned types of mutations are genetic mutations. While frame-shift, silent, and point mutations are indeed genetic mutations, "malignant" is not a type of genetic mutation but rather a term often associated with cancerous growth.

Q34. Hardy Weinberg Theorem gives following equation P2 +2pq + q2. What is 'P' in this equation?

  • A. Frequency of dominant alleles
  • B. Frequency of recessive alleles
  • C. No of alleles
  • D. All of the above

Explanation: "P" represents the frequency of the dominant allele, "a" represents the frequency of the recessive allele, and "2pa" represents the frequency of heterozygous individuals.The "frequency of recessive alleles" is represented by "a" in the equation. The theorem describes the relationship between allele frequencies in a population that is not experiencing evolution, where "p2" represents the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, and y "a2" represents the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, and "q2" represents the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. This is not the representation of "p" in the Hardy-Weinberg equation. "p" represents the frequency of the dominant allele in the population, not the frequency of dominant alleles in general.
  • C. The Hardy-Weinberg equation deals with allele frequencies rather than the total number of alleles. "p" and "a" represent the frequencies of specific alleles, not the total number of alleles in the population.
  • D. This option implies that all the mentioned characteristics are represented by "p" in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, which is not the case. "p" specifically represents the frequency of the dominant allele.

Q35. Pepsin is a/an _ which is secreted by _.

  • A. Enzyme: stomach
  • B. Hormone: stomach
  • C. Enzyme: Intestine
  • D. Hormone: Intestine

Explanation: Pepsin is an enzyme that is secreted by the stomach. It plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptide fragments.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. This is not correct. Pepsin is not a hormone but an enzyme.
  • C. Pepsin is primarily produced in the stomach, not the intestine.
  • D. Pepsin is not a hormone secreted in the intestine.

Q36. Ascaris is the organism of which Phylum

  • A. Annelida
  • B. Nematoda

    Q45. In sweet pea plants, the allele for allness is (T) and for shortness is (t) and similarly for green color is (G) an bit; (g). A female plant is TtGg and mate plant is TTGG, what kinds of gametes are produced by two plants

    • A. Female TG, Tg, 1G, 1g: Male TTg
    • B. Female Tg, Tg and Male Tg, TG, 1G, 1g
    • C. Female and male both Tg, Tg
    • D. None of the above

    Explanation: This is the correct option. None of the provided options accurately represent the alleles of the female and male plants. The correct representation of the female and male plants' alleles is as follows: Female (TtGg): TG, Tg, 1G, 1g Male (TTGG): TG, TG To determine the kinds of gametes produced by the given parents, let's examine the alleles for each trait: • Female (TtGg): The female has one allele for tallness (T), one allele for shortness (t), one allele for green color (G), and one allele for yellow color (g). • Male (TTGG): The male has two alleles for tallness (T), two alleles for green color (G), and no alleles for shortness (t) or yellow color (g). Now, let's consider the possible combinations of gametes for each parent: • Female (TtGg): Can produce gametes containing the alleles TG, Tg, 1G, and 1g. • Male (TTGG): Can produce gametes containing the alleles TG and TG.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • A. This option is incorrect because it incorrectly pairs a male with alleles TTg, which is not consistent with the given information.
    • B. This option is also incorrect because it suggests that the female has only alleles Tg, which is not accurate.
    • C. This option suggests that both the female and male have only Tg alleles, which is not correct. The male has TG alleles as well.

    Explanation: An allele is an alternative form of a gene that occupies a specific location on a chromosome. Alleles can vary in their DNA sequence, resulting in different traits or characteristics.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • B. The genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all of its genes and non-coding sequences.
    • C. The gene pool is the collection of all the different alleles within a population.
    • D. Phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics of an organism, which are influenced by the interaction of its genotype (genetic makeup) with the environment.
    • E. This option does not describe the concept of genes existing as two alternative forms.

    Q47. X normral /Y : X heamophilic/X normal What is the probability of children to be male?

    • A. 0%
    • B. 25%
    • C. 50%
    • D. 75%
    • E. 100%

    Explanation: The probability of children being male is 50% because they inherit an X chromosome from the mother and either an Xor Y chromosome from the father.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • A. In the provided information The father is indicated as "X normal Y," which means he carries a normal X chromosome and a Y chromosome. • The mother's genotype is not explicitly mentioned, but it's implied that she has at least one X normal allele (since she has male children). Given this, the probability of children being male is 25%. This is because, for each child, there's a 50% chance of inheriting an X chromosome from the mother and a 50% chance of inheriting a Y chromosome from the father. So, the probability of being male is 0.5 (50%) for each child.
    • B. In the provided information The father is indicated as "X normal Y," which means he carries a normal X chromosome and a Y chromosome. • The mother's genotype is not explicitly mentioned, but it's implied that she has at least one X normal allele (since she has male children). Given this, the probability of children being male is 25%. This is because, for each child, there's a 50% chance of inheriting an X chromosome from the mother and a 50% chance of inheriting a Y chromosome from the father. So, the probability of being male is 0.5 (50%) for each child.
    • D. In the provided information The father is indicated as "X normal Y," which means he carries a normal X chromosome and a Y chromosome. • The mother's genotype is not explicitly mentioned, but it's implied that she has at least one X normal allele (since she has male children). Given this, the probability of children being male is 25%. This is because, for each child, there's a 50% chance of inheriting an X chromosome from the mother and a 50% chance of inheriting a Y chromosome from the father. So, the probability of being male is 0.5 (50%) for each child.
    • E. In the provided information The father is indicated as "X normal Y," which means he carries a normal X chromosome and a Y chromosome. • The mother's genotype is not explicitly mentioned, but it's implied that she has at least one X normal allele (since she has male children). Given this, the probability of children being male is 25%. This is because, for each child, there's a 50% chance of inheriting an X chromosome from the mother and a 50% chance of inheriting a Y chromosome from the father. So, the probability of being male is 0.5 (50%) for each child.

    Q48. X normral / Y : X heamophilic / X normal What is the probability of female offsprings to be heamophitic

    • A. 0%
    • B. 25%
    • C. 50%
    • D. 75%
    • E. 100%

    Explanation: The probability of female offspring being hemophilic is 0% because hemophilia is a recessive X-linked genetic disorder. In question #42, it was indicated that the father is normal (X normal Y), so he does not carry the hemophilic allele. Thus, female offspring cannot inherit two hemophilic alleles (one from each parent) and will not be affected by hemophilia.The probability of female offspring being hemophilic is 0%. This is because, in the case of the provided information, none of the male offspring have hemophilia, and therefore, the mother does not produce female offspring with two hemophilic alleles (XX hemophilic). The X-linked recessive trait does not manifest in any of the children, male or female.

      Q49. Blood flows from right atrium to

      • A. Left atrium
      • B. Left ventricle
      • C. Right ventricle:
      • D. Pulmonary vein
      • E. Aorta

      Explanation: Blood flows from the right atrium to the left atrium through the atrioventricular septum.

      Why the other options are wrong
      • B. Blood moves from the left atrium to the left ventricle through the bicuspid (mitral) valve but not directly from the right atrium.
      • C. Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
      • D. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. The blood in the right atrium is deoxygenated.
      • E. The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

      Q50. Tricuspid valve is present between

      • A. Right atrium and right ventricle
      • B. Left atrium and left ventricle
      • C. Right ventricle and pulmonary artery
      • D. Left atrium and aorta
      • E. Vena cava and right atrium

      Explanation: The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle and helps regulate the flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricle.

      Why the other options are wrong
      • B. This is not correct. The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the bicuspid valve, also known as the mitral valve.
      • D. This is also not correct. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta, not the left atrium.
      • E. This is not correct. The vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium, but it is not separated by the tricuspid valve.

      Q51. Which or the following metals is most reactive?

      • A. Na
      • B. Mg
      • C. Cu
      • D. Au
      • E. Cl

      Explanation: Because sodium (Na) is the most reactive metal. The reactivity of metals generally increases as you move down and to the left on the periodic table. Sodium is located in Group 1 of the periodic table, which is known as the alkali metals group. Alkali metals are highly reactive due to their low ionization energy and their tendency to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.Sodium is highly reactive and can react vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. It is stored under oil to prevent contact with moisture and air.

      Why the other options are wrong
      • B. The option B is wrong because Magnesium is also a reactive metal, but it is not as reactive as sodium. It reacts with acids, but its reaction with water is less vigorous than sodium.
      • C. The option C is wrong because Copper is much less reactive compared to sodium and magnesium. It doesn't react with water or dilute acids. It forms a protective oxide layer on its surface that prevents further corrosion.
      • D. The option D is wrong because Gold is one of the least reactive metals. It is known for its inertness and does not readily react with most substances, including acids and water.
      • E. The option E is wrong because Chlorine is not a metal; it is a non-metallic element. It is highly reactive with certain substances but not with metals like sodium or magnesium.

      Q52. The oxidation state of 'Mn' in compound KMnO4 is

      • A. +7
      • B. +4
      • C. 0
      • D. -4
      • E. -7

      Explanation: In KMnO4 (potassium permanganate), potassium (K) is in Group 1 of the periodic table, and its oxidation state is +1. Oxygen (O) is usually assigned an oxidation state of -2 in most compounds. The sum of the oxidation states in a compound should equal its overall charge. In KMnO4, the overall charge is 0 (since it's a neutral compound). Let × be the oxidation state of manganese (Mn). So, we have: (+1) + × + 4(-2) = 0 Simplifying the equation: +1 + x-8=0 Simplifying the equation: +1+x-8=0 × - 7 = 0 x= +7 Therefore, the oxidation state of manganese (Mn) in KMnO4 is +7. Here's a representation of the structure of potassium permanganate (KMnO4): In this structure, each oxygen atom is connected to manganese (Mn) through a single bond, and there are four oxygen atoms bonded to manganese. The oxidation state of manganese is indeed +7 in this compound.

        Q53. How many hydrogekatoms can be replaced in compound C6H5CH2OH when dissolved in excess of water?

        • A. 1
        • B. 2
        • C. 3
        • D. 4
        • E. 8

        Explanation: The compound thay is mentioned,appears to be ethanol (C2H5OH). When ethanol (C2H5OH) is dissolved in excess water (H2O), it can undergo acid-base reactions, specifically alcoholysis. In this reaction, the hydrogen (H) atoms in the hydroxyl (-OH) group of ethanol can be replaced by water molecules. Here's how the reaction occurs: 1. Ethanol (C2H5OH) in water: CH3CH2OH + H2O 2. In this reaction, one of the hydrogen atoms (H) in the hydroxyl group (-OH) of ethanol is replaced by a water molecule (H2O). This forms a hydronium ion (H3O+): H3CH2O + H3O+ 3. The hydronium ion (H3O+) represents an acidic solution. It can further react in water, creating a dynamic equilibrium with the formation of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions (OH-): H3O+= H2O + H2O 4. This equilibrium results in a slight increase in the concentration of both hydronium ions (H30+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in the solution, making it slightly acidic. So, to answer your question, in excess water, the hydrogen atom (-H) in the -OH group of ethanol can be replaced by water molecules. Since there are two -OH groups in ethanol (C2H50H), two hydrogen atoms can be replaced in total. The correct answer is (A) 1. The other options B C D E are incorrect because they suggest a greater number of hydrogen atoms being replaced than is actually possible in ethanol. Ethanol contains only one hydroxyl group per molecule, so only one hydrogen atom in the -OH group can be replaced during the reaction with water.

        Q54. If there were three electrons in each orbital, then the no of elements in 4t1' period would be

        • A. 8
        • B. 18
        • C. 27
        • D. 36

        Explanation: Because The number of elements in a period of the periodic table is determined by the number of orbitals available in that period. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons due to the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Therefore, to determine the number of elements in the 41st period, you need to know how many orbitals are present in that period. In general, the number of orbitals in each period can be calculated using the formula 2n2, where "n" is the period number. The other options B C D E are incorrect because However, it's important to note that elements beyond the 7th period are theoretical and not observed in nature due to the extreme conditions required for their existence. The periodic table as we know it ends at the 7th period with element number 118 (Oganesson). Therefore, while theoretically, there could be 6724 elements in the 41st period, in reality, the periodic table is limited to the elements we've discovered up to the 7th period.

        Q55. If a gas is Contained in a container at pressure of 1atm, when the temperature is 300k, what would be the pressure if the temperature of gas is increased to 600K?

        • A. 1atm
        • B. 2atm
        • C. 3atm
        • D. 4atm
        • E. None

        Explanation: The relationship between pressure (P) and temperature (T) of a gas at constant volume is described by Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that: P1/Т1 = P2/T2 Where: P1 = Initial pressure T1 = Initial temperature (in Kelvin) P2 = Final pressure T2 = Final temperature (in Kelvin) In this case: P1 = 1 atm T1 = 300 K T2 = 600 K (temperature increased to 600K) Now, plug these values into the equation: 1 atm / 300 K = P2 / 600 K To find P2 (the final pressure), you can rearrange the equation: P2 = (1 atm / 300 K) * 600 K P2 = (1/300) * 600 atm P2 = 2 atm rearrange the equation: P2 = (1 atm / 300 K) * 600 K P2 = (1/300) * 600 atm P2 = 2 atm So, when the temperature of the gas is increased to 600 K, the pressure becomes 2 atm. The other options are incorrect A C D E because by using above formula the answer comes 2 atm

        Q56. Tile Ka for acetic acid is 2 x 10N. What is the pH of 0.5M acetic acid solution?

        • A. 1.0
        • B. 2.0
        • C. 2.5
        • D. 3.0
        • E. 7.0

        Explanation: The pH of a weak acid solution, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH), can be calculated using the expression for the acid dissociation constant (Ka) and the concentration of the acid. The relationship between pH, Ka, and the concentration of the acid ([HA]) for a weak acid is given by the following equation: pH = -log(Ka* [HA]) In this case: Ka = 2 × 10-5 (given) [HA] = 0.5 M (concentration of acetic acid) Now, plug these values into the equation By using this equation the above answer is C Thats why all other options A B D E are incorrect

        Q57. How many single bonds are there in a molecule of CO2?

        • A. None
        • B. 1
        • C. 2
        • D. 3
        • E. 4

        Explanation: In a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2), there are no double bonds or single bonds as in organic molecules. Instead, it consists of one carbon atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms. Each of these bonds is a double bond, not a single bond or triple bond. Here's a simplified structural representation of CO2 In this representation, the lines between the atoms represent the double bonds. There are no single bonds (one line) or triple bonds (three lines) in CO2. So, the correct answer to your question is A

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. This option is incorrect because there is no single bond in CO2. Both bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms are double bonds.
        • C. This option is incorrect for the same reason as option B. There are no single bonds in CO2; all bonds are double bonds.
        • D. This option is incorrect because it suggests the presence of three single bonds in CO2, which is not the case. CO2 has no single bonds.
        • E. This option is incorrect because it suggests the presence of four single bonds in CO2. Again, there are no single bonds in CO2, all bonds are double bonds.

        Q58. 2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) if 80gm of Al and 80gm of Fe2O3 are combined. What is the maximum numbers of moles of Fe that can be produced?

        • A. 0.5
        • B. 1
        • C. 2
        • D. 3
        • E. 4

        Explanation: The balanced chemical equation you provided represents the reaction between aluminum (AI) and iron(IlI) oxide (Fe2O3) to produce aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). The coefficients in the balanced equation indicate the stoichiometric ratios of the reactants and products. The balanced equation is: 2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) -> Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) Now, let's calculate the maximum number of moles of Fe that can be produced when 80 grams of Fe2O3 and some grams of Al Now, let's calculate the maximum number of moles of Fe that can be produced when 80 grams of Fe2O3 and some grams of Al are combined. We'll use the concept of limiting reactants to determine this. 1. Calculate the molar mass of Fe2O3: Fe2O3 = 2(55.85 g/mol Fe) + 3(16.00 g/mol0) = 159.7 g/mol 2. Calculate the moles of Fe2O3 in 80 grams: Moles of Fe2O3 = Mass (g) / Molar mass (g/mol) Moles of Fe203 = 80 g / 159.7 g/mol ~0.501 moles Now, let's consider the balanced chemical equation. According to the equation, 2 moles of Al react with 1 mole of Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles of Fe. This means that for every mole of Fe2O3, we can produce 2 moles of Fe. 1. Calculate the maximum moles of Fe that can be produced from 0.501 moles of Fe2O3: Moles of Fe = 2 × Moles of Fe2O3 Moles of Fe = 2 × 0.501 moles ~ 1.002 moles So, the maximum number of moles of Fev that can be produced is approximately 1.002 moles

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This option suggests that only half a mole of Fe can be produced. However, based on the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, we know that for every mole of Fe2O3, 2 moles of Fe are produced.
        • C. This option suggests that 2 moles of Fe can be produced. While it is possible to produce 2 moles of Fe if you had 1 mole of Fe2O3 (based on the stoichiometry of the equation), you actually have 0.501 moles of Fe2O3, as calculated earlier. This means you'll produce less than 2 moles of Fe.
        • D. This option suggests that 3 moles of Fe can be produced. However, based on the calculated moles of Fe2O3 (0.501 moles), the maximum moles of Fe that can be produced is less than 3.
        • E. This option suggests that 4 moles of Fe can be produced. This is significantly more than what is calculated based on the amount of Fe2O3 available (0.501 moles) It overestimates the amount of Fe produced. In summary, option (B) 1 is the most accurate choice because it is closest to the calculated value of approximately 1.002 moles of Fe that can be produced based on the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation and the given amounts of reactants.

        Q59. Which of the following will dolinitely occur if quantity of acetic; acid Is added to a solution of potassium hydroxide at pH 117

        • A. The number of lice protons per liter of solution will increase
        • B. Titration will tend to neutralize the solution
        • C. The acetic acid will act as a weak base
        • D. Acetate ion will precipitate out or solution
        • E. The pH will remain constant

        Explanation: The reaction between acetic acid and potassium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction. It results in the formation of water and the acetate ion, which is the conjugate base of acetic acid.СНЗСООН + КОН -> CH3COO- + H2O • This process tends to neutralize the solution, moving it closer to a neutral ph.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. The addition of acetic acid to a solution of potassium hydroxide will lead to the formation of acetate ions (CH3COO- and water (H2O) through a neutralization reaction. • СН3COOH + KOH -> CH3COO- + H2O • The addition of acetic acid does not increase the concentration of free protons (H+) in the solution. Instead, it consumes hydroxide ions (OH-) from the KOH solution.
        • C. Acetic acid is a weak acid, not a weak base. When it reacts with KOH, it acts as an acid by donating a proton (H+) to form acetate ions and water.
        • D. Acetate ions (CH3COO-) do not precipitate out of solution in typical conditions. They remain dissolved as ions in the solution.
        • E. The pH of the solution will change. Initially, you have a solution with pH 11 due to the presence of potassium hydroxide (KOH), which is a strong base. However, as acetic acid (a weak acid) is added, it will react with KOH and decrease the pH, moving it closer to a neutral pH.

        Q60. The reaction between Kl and CuSO4 results in

        • B. Separation of metallic Cu
        • C. Formation or K2SO4 with l2 evolved
        • D. Iodine replaces SO4

        Explanation: In the reaction between potassium iodide (KI) and copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4), a single displacement or replacement reaction occurs. Iodine from KI replaces the sulfate ion (SO42-) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) to form copper iodide (CuI) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4).The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2KI + CuSO4 → CuI + K2SO4 Iodine replaces the sulfate ion in this reaction, leading to the formation of copper iodide.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This option is not correct. The reaction does not result in the precipitation of copper oxide (CuO). Instead, it leads to the formation of copper iodide (CuI) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4)
        • B. This option is not correct. The reaction does not result in the separation of metallic copper (Cu).
        • C. This option is not correct. The reaction does not lead to the formation of potassium oxide (K2O3) with the evolution of oxygen (O2). It forms potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and copper iodide (CuI).

        Q61. What will happen when the electrodes are dipped In a solution of glucose?

        • A. The bulb will light up
        • B. The bulb will remain off.
        • C. The bulb will first light up and then will become off
        • D. The circuit will break

        Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This option is incorrect because glucose is a non-ionic organic compound, and solutions of glucose do not conduct electricity. Therefore, there will be no electricity. Therefore, there will be no electrical current flowing through the circuit, and the bulb will not light up.
        • C. This option is incorrect for the same reason as option (A). Since glucose does not conduct electricity, there will be no initial lighting up of the bulb, and it will remain off throughout.
        • D. This option is not an accurate description of what will happen. Dipping electrodes in a solution of glucose does not inherently cause a circuit to break. Instead, the lack of electrical conductivity in the glucose solution will result in the bull remaining off.

        Q62. Which is true regarding an aqueous solution of H2PO4 at 25°C?

        • A. It has a very large acid ionization constant
        • B. It has a bitter taste
        • C. The concentration of (OH-) > 1.0 × 10-7M
        • D. It is a very weak electrolyte
        • E. It can be formed by the reaction of V metal oxide and water

        Explanation: The correct statement (D) indicates that HCIO is a very weak electrolyte. This means that it only partially ionizes in aqueous solution, producing a relatively low concentration of ions. It does not conduct electricity as effectively as strong acids.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This statement is not true.Hypochlorous acid (HCIO) is a weak acid, and its acid ionization constant (Ka) is relatively small.
        • B. This statement is not generally true. Hypochlorous acid is not known for its taste, and it is not typically encountered in a form where its taste would be described as bitter.
        • C. This statement is not true. Hypochlorous acid is an acid and does not produce a significant concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. Therefore, the concentration of hydroxide ions remains low in an HCIO solution.
        • E. This statement is not true. Hypochlorous acid (HCIO) is not typically formed by the reaction of a metal oxide and water. It is usually produced by the reaction of chlorine gas (CI2) with water or by other methods.

        Q63. A vessel containing 0.28g of N2 and occupies volume of 0.56L, if another gas at same temperature and in sameNessel occupies 0.44L. Then what is the molecular mass of gas?

        • A. 0.22g
        • B. 0.35g
        • C. 0.80g
        • D. 0.96g
        • E. 1g

        Explanation: To find the molecular mass of the gas, we can use the ideal gas law: PV = ART Where: P = pressure V = volume n = number of moles R = universal gas constant T = temperature (in Kelvin) First, let's find the number of moles (n) for both gases. We'll assume that the pressure and temperature remain constant For the first gas: n1 = (mass1) / (molar mass1) Given that the mass of nitrogen (N) is 0.28g, and the molar mass of nitrogen is approximately 14g/mol, we can calculate n1:n1 = 0.28g / 14g/mol = 0.02 mol Now, for the second gas, we can use the same equation: n2 = (mass2) / (molar mass,) Let's call the molar mass of the second gas M2 (in grams per mole). Given that the second gas occupies 0.44L in the same vessel, we can set up a ratio: (n2) / (ni) = (V 1) / (V2) Where V1 is the initial volume (0.56L) and V2 is the final volume (0.44L). Also, n, = 0.02mol. (n.) / (0.02 mol) = (0.56L) / (0.44L) Where Vi is the initial volume (0.56L) and V2 is the final volume (0.44L). Also, n, = 0.02mol. (n2) / (0.02 mol) = (0.56L) / (0.44L) Solving for n2: n2 = 0.02 mol * (0.56L / 0.44L) = 0.35 mol

        Q64. Based on the table above, which of the following is most likely to be the first ionization energor potassium.

        • A. 536 KJ/mole
        • B. 504 KJ/mole
        • C. 419 KJ/mole
        • D. 391 KJ/mole
        • E. 358 KJ/mole

        Explanation: This is the most likelv first ionization energy for potassium because it's slightly higher than sodium's value, consistent with the trend across the ionization energy tor potassium because it's slightly higher than sodium's value, consistent with the trend across the periodic table. Lets analayze incorrect answers The ionization energy generally increases across a period (from left to right) and decreases down a group (from top to bottom) in the periodic table. This is due to the increasing number of protons and electrons, which results in a stronger attraction between the electrons and the nucleus as you move across a period. Potassium (K) is in the same group as sodium (Na), which means they have similar electron configurations. Sodium (Na) has an ionization energy of 520 KJ/mole. Since potassium is in the same group and is just to the right of sodium in the periodic table.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This is higher than sodium's ionization energy but not the best choice as it's a bit too high for potassium.
        • C. This is too low for potassium based on the periodic trend. lonization energy should increase as you move to the right in the periodic table.
        • D. This is too low forpotassium and doesn't follow the expected trend.
        • E. This is also too low forpotassium.

        Q65. Which of the following molecular formula is correctly paired with its empirical formula?

        • A. C6H6 : C2H3
        • B. С2Н6: CH
        • C. C6H6: CH
        • D. CH2: CH
        • E. None

        Explanation: The empirical formula (CH) represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in this compound, and it's also the molecular formula since there's only one carbon (C and one hydrogen (H) in the molecule. To determine which molecular formula is correctly paired with its empirical formula, you need to understand the concept of empirical and molecular formulas. The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in acompound. The molecular formula represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. This pair is incorrect. The empirical formula for benzene (C6H6) is CH because it represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms. However, the molecular formula for benzene is also C6H6, not just CH.
        • C. This pair is incorrect for the same reason as in option B. The empirical formula for benzene is CH, but the molecular formula is also C6H6.
        • D. This pair is incorrect. The empirical formula (CH) represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in this compound, but the molecular formula should have a 2 after H (CH2) to represent that there are two hydrogen atoms for every carbon atom in the molecule.

        Q66. Which 'of the following have strongest C-C bond?

        • A. C2H2
        • B. C2H4
        • C. C2H6
        • D. C3H8
        • E. C4H10

        Explanation: This molecule contains a triple bond between the two carbon atoms. Triple bonds are the strongest, so C2H2 has the strongest C-C bond. The strength of a C-C bond depends on the type of bond present between the carbon atoms. In organic chemistry, there are single, double, and triple bonds between carbon atoms, with triple bonds being the strongest.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. This molecule contains a double bond between the two carbon atoms (C=C).Double bonds are weaker than triple bonds.
        • C. This molecule contains a single bond between the two carbon atoms (C-C).Single bonds are the weakest among the three.
        • D. This molecule is propane
        • E. This molecule is butane and ít contains a single bond . Single bond are weaker than double or triple bond .

        Q67. A liquid has volume 103ml when pressure is 763 mm Hg and at a temperature of 27°C, the pressure of liquid decreases to 721 mm Hg. Keeping Temperature constant, what will be the new volume of the gas

        • A. 106
        • B. 109
        • C. 120
        • D. 114
        • E. 104

        Explanation: To solve this problem, we can use the combined gas law, which relates the initial and final conditions of a gas when temperature remains constant: (P1 * V1) = (P2 * V2) Where: P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume P2 = final pressure V2 = final volume Given: Initial volume (V1) = 103 ml Initial pressure (Pi) = 763 mm Hg Final pressure (P2) = 721 mm Hg Temperature remains constant. We need to find V2 (the new volume). Let's plug in the values into the combined gas law: (763 mm Hg * 103 L) = (721 mm Hg * V2) Now, solve for V2: V2 = (763 mm Hg * 103 mL) / 721 mm Hg V2 ~ 109.19 mL

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This answer choice is slightly smaller than the calculated value of approximately 109 mL. Therefore, it's not the correct answer.
        • C. This answer choice is significantly larger than the calculated value. It's clear that the volume should decrease when the pressure decreases while keeping the temperature constant.So, this answer is not correct.
        • D. This answer choice is larger than the calculated value and does not reflect a decrease in volume as the pressure decreases. It is not correct.
        • E. This answer choice is smaller than the calculated value and also does not reflect a decrease in volume as the pressure decreases. It is not correct.

        Q68. The formula for calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2. What is its approximate formula weight?

        • A. 64amu
        • B. 164 amu
        • C. 240 amu
        • D. 310 amu
        • E. 380 amu

        Explanation: To calculate the approximate formula weight (also known as molar mass) of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), you need to add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula. • The atomic mass of calcium (Ca) is approximately 40 amu. • The atomic mass of nitrogen (N) is approximately 14 amu. • The atomic mass of oxygen (0) is approximately 16 amu. Now, we have two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms in the formula. Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = (1 * Ca) + (2 * N)+ (6 * 0) Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = (1 * 40 amu) + (2* 14 amu) + (6 * 16 amu) Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 40 amu + 28amu + 96 amu Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 amu So, the approximate formula weight of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) is approximately 164 amu.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This answer is too low. It appears to have considered only the atomic mass of calcium (Ca) but ignored the nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) atoms in the formula.
        • C. This answer is too low as well.It seems to have taken into account only the atomic masses of calcium (Ca) and nitrogen (N), but it has not included the contributions from the six oxygen (O)atoms.
        • D. This answer is too low. It might be considering the atomic masses of calcium (Ca) and nitrogen (N) but is not accounting for the oxygen (O) atoms.
        • E. This answer is too low. Similar to the previous options, it doesn't correctly consider the contributions of all the atoms in the formula.

        Q69. When ethane reacts with 6M of CI, thou which one of the following products are obtained

        • A. Chlorine replaces hydrogen
        • B. Hexachloroethane is formed
        • C. No Reaction Occurs
        • D. Explosion occurs

        Explanation: When ethane (C2H6) reacts with chlorine (CI2), a substitution reaction can occur in which chlorine replaces hydrogen atoms in ethane. This reaction is known as chlorination. Here's the balanced chemical equation for this reaction:C2H6 + Cl2 -> C2H5Cl + HCI In this reaction, one or more hydrogen atoms in ethane (C2H6) are replaced by chlorine atoms from CI2. The product formed is ethyl chloride (C2H5CI), and hydrogen chloride (HCI) is also produced as a byproduct.So, the correct answer is (A) Chlorine replaces hydrogen, and the product obtained is ethyl chloride (C2H5CI).Here's a simplified representation of the reaction:

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. Hexachloroethane is not formed in this reaction; it's a different compound with six chlorine atoms attached to the carbon atoms in a different arrangement
        • C. No Reaction Occurs is incorrect because a reaction does take place
        • D. Explosion occurs is not relevant to this specific reaction but rather an extreme scenario that is unlikely in this context.

        Q70. Two different sodium atoms or ions may differ in all of tho following ways EXCEPT

        • A. The number of electrons outside their nuclei
        • B. The overall charge they carry
        • C. Their mass number
        • D. The number of neutrons in their nuclei
        • E. The number of protons in their nuclei

        Explanation: The number of neutrons in their nuclei, because different sodium isotopes can indeed have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, but the number of protons in the nucleus (atomic number) is always 11 for sodium.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Different sodium atoms or ions can have different numbers of electrons in theirelectron shells. This is due to the fact that sodium can exist in different ionic forms by gaining or losing electrons. For example:• Sodium (Na) in its neutral state has 11 electrons.• Sodium ion (Na+) has lost one electron and has 10 electrons.
        • B. Sodium atoms can form ions with different charges by losing or gaining electrons. For example:• Sodium ion (Nat) has a +1 charge because it has lost one electron.• Sodium ion (Na2+) has a +2 charge because it has lost two electrons.
        • C. The mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Different sodium isotopes can have different mass numbers.For example:• Sodium-23 (Na-23) has 12 neutrons in addition to its 11 protons. • Sodium-24 (Na-24) has 13 neutrons in addition to its 11 protons.
        • E. Sodium, by definition, always has 11 protons in its nucleus. This number defines it as an element with the atomic number 11.Sodium, by definition, always has 11 protons in its nucleus. This number defines it as an element with the atomic number 11.

        • A. Rusting of iron
        • B. Mixing of salt and water
        • C. Burning of paper
        • D. Melting of ice
        • E. Both A and C

        Explanation: A chemical change, also known as a chemical reaction, involves the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Let's examine the options: A) Rusting of iron: This is a chemical change. When iron reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air, it forms iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Rust is chemically different from iron, and this process represents a chemical reaction. C) Burning of paper: This is also a chemical change. When paper burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air,producing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other products. The original paper is transformed into new substances with different chemical properties.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This is a chemical change. When iron reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air, it forms iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Rust is chemically different from iron, and this process represents a chemical reaction.
        • B. This is a physical change, not a chemical change.When salt is mixed with water, it dissolves to form a saltwater solution. The individual salt and water molecules remain unchanged in their chemical composition.
        • C. This is also a chemical change. When paper burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air,producing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other products. The original paper is transformed into new substances with different chemical properties.
        • D. This is also a physical change. When ice melts, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state, but the chemical composition of water remains the same. The water molecules in ice and liquid water are the same.

        • A. BaSO4(s)
        • B. Na2CO3(s)
        • C. BaCI2(s)
        • D. NaCI(s)
        • E. BaNa2SO4(s)

        Explanation: The chemical equation for the reaction between barium chloride (BaCI2) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in aqueous solution is as follows: BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) -> BaSO4(s) +2NaCI(ag) In this reaction, a white insoluble solid, which is barium sulfate (BaSO4), is formed.When barium chloride (BaCI2) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) react in aqueous solution, they produce barium sulfate (BaSO4) as an insoluble white solid. This is a precipitation reaction, and BaSO4 is indeed a white solid.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. This compound is sodium carbonate, and it is not formed in this reaction. Therefore, it's not the correct product.
        • C. This is barium chloride in its solid form, which is not a product of the reaction between BaCI2 and Na2SO4 in aqueous solution
        • D. This is sodium chloride, which is a soluble salt and would not form a white solid in this reaction.options are incorrect
        • E. This compound is not formed in this reaction. The reaction produces BaSO4 as the white solid, not BaNa2SO4

        Q73. Which of the following contain an ionic bond?

        • B. HF
        • C. HO
        • D. CSF
        • E. HCI

        Explanation: lonic bonds typically form between elements with significantly different electronegativities. In an ionic bond, one atom donates electrons (becomes a cation), while the other atom accepts electrons (becomes an anion). Cesium fluoride is a substance composed of cesium and fluoride elements, which are different in type; cesium is metal and fluoride is a nonmetal. Considering that a metal and a nonmetal bonding results mostly in ionic compounds

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Carbon dioxide does not contain an ionic bond. It consists of covalent bonds where electrons are shared between carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms.
        • B. Hydrogen fluoride does not contain an ionic bond. It has a polar covalent bond between hydrogen (H) and fluorine (F), where electrons are shared but not equally due to the electronegativity difference.
        • C. This compound is not common and does not represent a typical ionic or covalent bond. However, if we assume it represents water (H20), it contains polar covalent bonds, not ionic bonds.
        • E. Hydrochloric acid (HCI) does not contain an ionic bond. It has a polar covalent bond between hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl)

        Q74. Which of the following is surrounded by maximum number of water molecules?

        • A. SO2
        • B. MgCI2
        • C. NaCI
        • D. CuSO4

        Explanation: Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound consisting of Mg2+ and CI- ions.When it dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions, and each ion is surrounded by a sphere of water molecules due to electrostatic attraction. So, ionic compounds like MgCI2 can be surrounded by a large number of water molecules.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Sulfur dioxide is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. However, it is a relatively small molecule with only a few sites for hydrogen bonding. So, it is not surrounded by a maximum number of water molecules.
        • C. Sodium chloride is another ionic compound consisting of Na+ and CI- ions.When it dissolves in water, it also dissociates into ions and is surrounded by a sphere of water molecules.
        • D. Copper(II) sulfate is an ionic compound containing Cu2+ and SO42-ions. When it dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions and is also surrounded by a sphere of water molecules.

        Q75. A 0.2M solution of 21.6mI NaOH is reacted with 25ml of HCI. What is the molarity of HCl?

        • A. 0.678M(acid)
        • B. 0.798 M (acid)
        • C. 0.896 M (acid)
        • D. 0.978 M (acid)
        • E. 0.172 M (acid)

        Explanation: To find the molarity of HCI (hydrochloric acid) after it reacts with NaOH (sodium hydroxide), we can use the concept of neutralization reactions. In a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base, the moles of acid reacting with moles of base should be equal. We can use the equation: Molarity (M) = (moles of solute) / (volume of solution in liters) First, we need to find the moles of NaOH in the 21.6 mL solution: Moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume (in Moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume (in liters) Moles of NaOH = 0.2 M × (21.6 mL / 1000 mL/L) Moles of NaOH = 0.00432 moles Now, since HC reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 ratio, the moles of HCI should be the same as the moles of NaOH after the reaction. Therefore, we have 0.00432 moles of HCI. Next, we need to find the molarity of HCI in the 25 mL solution: Molarity (HCI) = (moles of HCI) / (volume of solution in liters) Molarity (HCI) = 0.00432 moles / (25 mL /1000 mL/L) Molarity (HCI) = 0.172 M So, the molarity of HCI after the reaction is 0.172 M.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This answer choice is not correct because it is significantly higher than the actual molarity of HCI calculated, which is 0.172 M.
        • B. This answer choice is not correct for the same reason as choice A; it is much higher than the calculated molarity.
        • C. This answer choice is also not correct because it is higher than the actual molarity of HCI, which is 0.172 M.
        • D. This answer choice is not correct as it is significantly higher than the calculated molarity of HCI, which is 0.172 M.

        Q76. What is the ratio of [H+] of a solution of pH = 4 to the [H+] of a solution of pH = 7?

        • A. 200:1
        • B. 500:14
        • C. 1000:1
        • D. 1:1
        • E. 10000:1

        Explanation: The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity and is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H+]) in the solution. The relationship is given by the formula: pH = -log10([H+]) To find the ratio of [H+] of a solution at pH 4 to a solution at pH 7, we can calculate the [H+] for each pH value and then determine the ratio. For pH = 4: pH = -log10([H+]) 4 = -log10([H+]) Now, we need to find [H+]. To do that, we can take the antilog (10 raised to the power of -4) of both sides: [H+1= 10-4) For pH = 7: pH = - log10([H+]) 7 = -log10([H+]) Again, we need to find [H+]. To do that, we can take the antilog (10 raised to the power of -7) of both sides: [H+]= 10(-7) Now, we can calculate the ratio: Ratio = [H+] at pH 4 / [H+] at pH 7 Ratio = (10(-4)) / (10(-7)) When you divide two numbers with the same base (10 in this case) and different exponents, you subtract the exponents: Ratio = 10(-4 - (-7)) Ratio = 103 Ratio = 1000

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This answer is not correct because it does not represent the correct ratio of [H+] at pH 4 to pH 7. The actual ratio is greater than this.
        • B. This answer is not correct. It does not accurately represent the ratio of [H+]at pH 4 to pH 7.
        • D. This answer is not correct because it implies that the [H+ ] at pH 4 is equal to the [H+lat pH 7, which is not true. The [H+ ] at pH 7, which is not true. The [H+ ] at pH 7 is 1000 times smaller than the [H+ ] at pH 4.
        • E. This answer is not correct because it overestimates the ratio. The actual ratio is 1000:1.

        Q77. Which of the following will be the most conductive electrically?

        • A. Sugar dissolved in water
        • B. Salt water
        • C. Salt dissolved in organic solvent
        • D. An oil and water mixture
        • E. None

        Explanation: Because it contains ions (sodium and chloride ions) that can carry an electric current. The electrical conductivity of a solution is primarily determined by the presence of ions. Ions are electrically charged particles that can carry an electric current.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Sugar does not dissociate into ions when it dissolves in water. It remains as sugar molecules in solution and does not significantly increase electrical conductivity. Therefore, this solution is not very conductive.
        • C. In an organic solvent, such as an organic oil, salt does not readily dissociate into ions because organic solvents do not provide the necessary environment for ionization. Therefore, this solution is not conductive.
        • D. Neither oil nor water alone is a good conductor of electricity because they do not contain a significant concentration of ions. When oil and water are mixed, they do not enhance electrical conductivity.

        Q78. What factors determine whether or not two liquids are miscible?

        • A. Molecular size
        • B. Molecular polarity
        • C. Density
        • D. Both B and C

        Explanation: The miscibility of two liquids strongly depends on their polarities. In general, polar and nonpolar liquids are not miscible, while a polar liquid can usually be mixed with another polar liquid, and a nonpolar liquid with another nonpolar liquid. Choice A, molecular size, and choice C, the density of a liquid, do not directly affect the miscibility (although choice C should remind you that two immiscible liquids will form separate layers, with the denser liquid on the bottom). Thus, B is the only correct choice.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Choice A, molecular size does not directly affect the miscibility
        • C. Choice C, the density of a liquid, does not directly affect the miscibility
        • D. As only option B is correct, this option is incorrect.

        Q79. When 200g of MgCl2 is added to 1Kg of water, what is the moiality of the solution?

        • A. 200/(244+71)
        • B. 0.200/(24+71)
        • C. 0.2(24+71)
        • D. 0.200
        • E. 200

        Explanation: To calculate the molality of a solution, you need to know the moles of the solute (in this case, MgCI2) and the mass of the solvent (water) in kilograms. 1. First, let's find the moles of MC|2: • Given mass of MgCl2 = 200 grams • Molar mass of MgCl2 = 24.305 g/mol (for Mg) + 2 * 35.453 g/mol (for CI) =94.211 g/mol • Moles of MgC12 = (200 g) / (94.211 g/mol) ~ 2.121 moles 2. The mass of the solvent (water) is given as 1 kg, which is equal to 1000 grams. 3. Now, you can calculate the molality (m) using the formula: Molality (m) = (moles of solute) / (mass of solvent in kg) Molality (m) = (2.121 moles) / (1000 g /1000) kg = 0.002121 mol/kg So, the molality of the solution is approximately 0.002121 mol/kg. The closest answer choice is (B)0.200/(24+71), which represents the correct calculation for the molality

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. This answer choice is not correct because it does not accurately represent the calculation for molality. The numerator is 200 g, but it's not clear what the denominator represents.
        • C. This answer choice is not correct because it does not correctly calculate the molality. It uses a different approach to the calculation.
        • D. This answer choice is not correct because it does not represent the calculation for molality. It's a simple numeric value without the necessary units for molality (mol/kg).
        • E. This answer choice is not correct because it is a numeric value without the appropriate units and does not represent the calculation for molality.

        Q80. In order to make a buffer solution, a weak monoprotic acid could be added to

        • A. Another acid
        • B. Another base
        • C. Conjugate base
        • D. Its conjugate acid
        • E. A strong base

        Explanation: To create a buffer solution, you need a weak acid and its conjugate base. This pair of components helps the solution resist changes in pH when an acidic or basic substance is added. The weak acid neutralizes added base, and its conjugate base neutralizes added acid.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Adding another acid would not create a buffer solution because it would not provide the necessary conjugate base to resist pH changes.
        • B. Adding another base would not create a buffer solution either because it would not provide the necessary weak acid to resist pH changes.
        • D. Adding the conjugate acid would not create a buffer solution because it lacks the necessary conjugate base to resist pH changes.
        • E. Adding a strong base would not create a buffer solution. Instead, it would cause a significant change in pH because strong bases completely dissociate and increase the solution's alkalinity.

        Q81. If frequency of a body under simple harmonic motion remains constant, then the accoluration of body is directly proportional to

        • A. Velocitv
        • B. Amplitude
        • C. Displacement
        • D. None
        • E. .

        Explanation: a = -ω2x Where: "a" is the acceleration of the body. "x" is the displacement of the body from its equilibrium position. "ω" (omega) is the angular frequency, which is related to the frequency "f" by the equation ω = 2πf. This equation shows that the acceleration "a" is directly proportional to the displacement "x" and is also proportional to the square of the angular frequency "ω." The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the displacement, which is a characteristic of SHM.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. The above formula shows that acceleration is not proportional to velocity. Hence incorrect
        • B. The amplitude of SHM represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, but it does not determine the acceleration directly.hence this option is incorrect
        • D. This option is incorrect

        Q82. The difference between electsic field end magnetic field HMIS is

        • A. The electric tield lines form the closed loop whereas magnetic field lines form open
        • B. The magnetic field lines form the closed loop vhereas electric field lines form open
        • C. Electric field lines contract lengthwise
        • D. All of the above

        Explanation: Magnetic field lines form a closed loop and electric field lines form open This is proved through ampere's circuital law which states that the closed line integral of the magnetic field (the integral of the magnetic field over a closed loop) is proportional to the current passing through the loop. In mathematical terms: ∮ B · dl = μ₀ * I 2) we know that magnetic field exists around the two poles of a magnetic whereas eclectic field can exist around unipolar charges such as single positive or negative charge which provides an open field contrary to the closed field in magnetism due to the two poles As the above explanation proved it is magnetic field that forms closed lines and not electric field hence thai option is incorrect

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. The above formula shows that acceleration is not proportional to velocity. Hence incorrect
        • C. Electric Field Lines Do Not Stretch or Contract: Electric field lines do not stretch or contract lengthwise. They maintain their relative spacing and direction as they propagate through space, provided there are no other charges or conductors nearby to influence their path.
        • D. As proved a and c are incorrect hence the option d is not correct

        Q83. A car is moving along a circular path on road which has a tyres of radius 0.40m moving with a velocity of 100m/s. If the mass of the car is 2000Kg, then thky centripetal force is provided by

        • A. Stearing
        • B. Friction
        • C. Engine
        • D. Shafts
        • E. None

        Explanation: As the car moves in a circle, it needs to change its direction, which requires an inward force to counteract its natural tendency to move in a straight line (according to Newton's first law). This inward force is provided by the static or kinetic friction between the tires and the road, depending on whether the tires are sliding or not.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. The steering system's primary function is to change the direction of the car's front wheels, allowing the driver to control the car's trajectory
        • C. The engine of a car is indeed responsible for providing the initial velocity and the power necessary to maintain the car's motion, but it is not directly responsible for keeping the car in circular motion
        • D. The primary function of the shaft is to transmit power from the engine to the wheels and to support the wheels.hence it does not take part in keeping the car moving in circular motion

        Q84. The SI unit of capacitance is

        • B. Ohms
        • C. Volt
        • D. Newton
        • E. None

        Explanation: Explanation is given as image.

        Why the other options are wrong

        • A. Dynes
        • B. Newton
        • C. Joules
        • D. Ohms

        Explanation: The force will be in newtons. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is given by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). In the International System of Units (SI), mass is measured in kilograms (kg), acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s2), and force is measured in newtons (N)

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Force can be measured in dynes, but it is not the preferred unit in the International System of Units (SI)1 newton is equivalent to 105 dynes
        • C. J=N*m which is not equal to force
        • D. Ohm is the SI unit of resistance Hence it is incorrect

        Q86. Work done on a charge equal to an electron by moving it through 1 volt is called

        • A. Joules
        • B. Ergs
        • C. Electron Volt

        Explanation: Explanation is given as image.

        Q87. The phenomenon of induced current in a coil due to change of current in another coil is called

        • A. Self inductance
        • B. Mutual inductance
        • C. Induced current
        • D. Motional emf

        Explanation: Mutual induction is the phenomenon of inducing an electromotive force (EMF) in a coil due to the change in current in another nearby coil. When the current in one coil changes, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the other coil, inducing a current in it

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Self inductance is due to change of emf in the same coil
        • C. Induced current is the current induced in a coil due to change of emf It can be due to both self and mutual inductance
        • D. Motional emf is induced due to the movement of coil in stationary magnetic field

        • B. Generator
        • C. Electric motor
        • D. Cell

        Explanation: Explanation is given as image.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. It is used to measure small electrical current
        • B. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
        • D. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy

        • D. 8A, 18.7Ω
        • E. 12.5A, 9.6Ω

        Explanation: Hence all other options are incorrect

        Q90. If a lens is cut into two halves vertically, the focal length of each half will be

        • A. 1/2f
        • B. 2f
        • C. f
        • D. 4f
        • E. None

        Explanation: If a lens is cut into two halves vertically, the focal length of each half will remain the same. Cutting a lens into two pieces does not change the optical properties of each half, including its focal length. The focal length of each half will still be determined by the curvature of the lens surfaces and the refractive index of the lens material

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. As the focal length does not change hence these options are incorrect
        • B. As the focal length does not change hence these options are incorrect
        • D. As the focal length does not change hence these options are incorrect

        Q91. At what angle of projection is the total energy half kinetic and halfi potential at the summit point?

        • A. 45°
        • B. 90°
        • C. 30°
        • D. 60°

        Explanation: K.E(top)= K.E(initial)cos²θ P.E(top)=K.E( initial) sin²θ K.E(top)=K.E(i)cos45² =K.E(i)(1/√2)² =K.E(i)(½) =0.5K.E(i) P.E(top)=K.E (i)sin45² =K.E(i) (1/√2)² =K.E(i)(½) =O.5K.E(i) Hence the object will have half of its energy as K.E and half as P.E Thus (b)(c)(d) are incorrect

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. As the focal length does not change hence these options are incorrect
        • C. If a lens is cut into two halves vertically, the focal length of each half will remain the same. Cutting a lens into two pieces does not change the optical properties of each half, including its focal length. The focal length of each half will still be determined by the curvature of the lens surfaces and the refractive index of the lens material
        • D. As the focal length does not change hence these options are incorrect

        Q92. Radon Rn decays to Radium Ra. This is

        • A. Alpha decay
        • B. Beta decay
        • C. Gamma decay
        • D. Electron emission

        Explanation: Radon decays to Radium" is a description of a radioactive decay process that occurs in certain isotopes of radon. Specifically, radon-222 (Rn-222), which is a radioactive isotope of radon, can decay into radium-226 (Ra-226) through a series of radioactive decay steps. This process is part of the decay chain or radioactive series known as the "radon decay chain" or "uranium-238 decay chain." Here's a simplified representation of the radioactive decay of radon-222 to radium-226: Radon-222 (Rn-222) undergoes alpha decay, emitting an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons). Rn-222 → Ra-218 + α Radium-218 (Ra-218), which is a short-lived radon decay product, also undergoes alpha decay: Ra-218 → Rn-214 + α

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. Beta decay is when an unstable nucleus converts into proton and electron leading to the increase in atomic number by 1 As seen above the radon into radium decay is alpha decay
        • C. It is the conversion of an unstable atom into a stable one with the emission of gamma particle. As it has no change on mass number or atomic number hence the option is incorrect

        Q93. A body is moving in a conservative field, which of the following statements Is true

        • A. The work done is independent of path followed
        • B. The work done is equal to the difference between final and initial energy of the body
        • C. Work done can be a measured by using formula W = F.d
        • D. All of the above

        Explanation: It's a consequence of the properties of conservative forces and is often associated with concepts like potential energy. The work done in a conservative field is independent of the path followed because it is related to potential energy, which depends only on the positions of the object and not on the specific path taken. This principle is fundamental in understanding the behavior of objects in conservative fields, such as gravitational or electrostatic fields.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. The work done in a conservative field is equal to the change in potential energy of the body, not the change in its total energy. The total energy of a body in a conservative field is constant, as the work done by the field is only changing the potential energy of the body, not its kinetic energy. Therefore, the work done in a conservative field is not equal to the difference between the initial and final energy of the body.
        • C. The work done by the force is path-independent. Therefore, the work done in a conservative field cannot be measured by the formula F.d, where F is the force and d is the displacement.
        • D. As b and c are incorrect hence it is not possible

        Q94. The emission of electrons from mektaltrigo incidenco of light is

        • A. Photoelectric effect
        • B. Compton effect
        • C. Pair production
        • D. Electron emission

        Explanation: Explanation is given as image.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. Compton effect is the scattering of high frequency photon with less frequency from stationary electron
        • C. The creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle when photon interacts with a nucleus an electron and its antiparticle, a positron may be created is called pair production
        • D. Field electron emission refers to the transfer of electrons from the surface of a metal into the vacuum as a result of the action of very high electric fields at the surface (~107-108 V/cm), which lowers the potential barrier so that electrons can leak out of the metal

        Q95. A wire of length "l" is suspended from a ceiling and on the other end a mass "m" is attached, the vire is under

        • A. Compression Stress
        • B. Shear Stress
        • C. Tension
        • D. All of the above

        Explanation: When an object is suspended from a wire or a string, the wire or string experiences a force in the upward direction, which is equal in magnitude to the weight of the object. This force is called tension. In this case, the wire is under tension because it is being pulled upward by the weight of the mass attached to the other end of the wire.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Compression stress occurs when a force is applied to an object in a direction that pushes the object inward, compressing it. In this case, the wire is not under compression stress because the force is being applied in the upward direction, not inward.
        • B. Shear stress occurs when a force is applied to an object in a direction parallel to the surface of the object, causing the object to deform or break. In this case, the wire is not under shear stress because the force is being applied in the upward direction, not parallel to the surface of the wire. Therefore, the wire is under tension when a mass is attached to the other end of the wire.

        Q96. If a beaker exactly filled with water and a ice piece floats on it. Which contain lead piece, when ice melts, what would occur?

        • A. Level of water rises
        • B. Water flows out of the beaker
        • C. Level of water remains the same
        • D. Level of water decreases

        Explanation: If the ice in the space were to melt and displace less water than the volume of the space itself, the level of water in the beaker would decrease. However, since the space is already displacing its own weight in water, the amount of water in the beaker will not change when the ice melts. The lead piece will remain in the space after the ice melts. This is because the lead piece is denser than water and will sink to the bottom of the space, which is still filled with water. The level of the water in the beaker will remain the same, and the lead piece will still be in the space, but it may shift slightly due to the change in buoyancy caused by the melting of the ice.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. If the ice in the space were to melt and displace more water than the volume of the space itself, the level of water in the beaker would rise. However, since the space is exactly filled with water and is floating on the surface, it is already displacing its own weight in water. When the ice melts, it will only displace its own weight in water, which means the level of water in the beaker will not rise.
        • B. If the ice in the space were to melt and displace more water than the volume of the space itself, the water would overflow and flow out of the beaker. However, since the space is already displacing its own weight in water, the amount of water in the beaker will not change when the ice melts.
        • C. Since the space is already filled with water and is floating on the surface, it is already displacing its own weight in water. When the ice in the space melts, it will only displace its own weight in water, which means the level of water in the beaker will remain the same.

        Q97. Tvvo forces, one of magnitude 6N and other of magnitude 8N acts on a body perpendicular to each other. Find the resultant force

        • A. 14N

        Explanation: Explanation is given as image.

        Q98. Vectors

        • A. Which are parallel are called equal vectors
        • B. Which lie in same plane are called coaxial
        • C. Which lie in different planes are called coplaners
        • D. None

        Explanation: Vectors which are parallel to each other are called equal vectors because they have the same magnitude and direction. In mathematical terms, two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction. When two vectors are parallel, it means that they have the same direction, and if they have the same magnitude as well, then they are equal vectors.

        Why the other options are wrong
        • B. Vectors that lie in the same place are not called coaxial vectors. Coaxial vectors are vectors that have the same axis of symmetry, which means that they are parallel and have the same direction, but they do not necessarily lie in the same place. For example, a set of parallel lines in three-dimensional space can be described by coaxial vectors. Vectors in same plane are called colinear
        • C. If two or more vectors lie in different planes, they are not coplanar. For example, if two vectors lie in different parallel planes, they are not coplanar. In this case, the vectors are said to be non-coplanar
        • D. It is incorrect

        Q99. Rate of flow of charge is also called

        • A. Volts
        • B. Average charges
        • C. Current
        • D. Electrical intensity

        Explanation: Current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and is often represented by the symbol "I"

        Why the other options are wrong
        • A. Volts is a unit of measurement for electric potential difference or voltage, which is the force that drives the flow of electrical charge.
        • B. Average charges is not a term commonly used in the context of electricity.
        • D. Electrical intensity is not a commonly used term in electricity, but it can refer to the strength of an electric field at a particular point. It is measured in volts per meter (V/m).

        Q100. If an object of weight 90N in air, 60N ia..water and 20N in an unknown liquid, the specific gravity of liquid is

        • A. 0.3
        • B. 1.3
        • C. 2.3
        • D. 4.3

        Explanation: Specific Gravity = (Weight in Air) / (Loss of Weight in Water) In this case, the weight in air is 90 Newtons, and the loss of weight in water is the difference between the weight in air and the weight in water, which is 90 Newtons - 60 Newtons = 30 Newtons. So, the specific gravity of the unknown liquid is: Specific Gravity = 90 Newtons / 30 Newtons = 3 Hence all other options are incorrect
