• B. 30N
• C. 300N✓
• D. 3000N

Explanation: Given information: Mass of the box (m) = 8.0 kg Initial velocity of the box (u) = 3 m/s Compression of the spring (x) = 12 cm = 0.12 m The box comes to rest, so its final velocity (v) is 0 m/s. We can use the formula for the work done by the spring (W_spring) when it is compressed or stretched: W_spring = (1/2)kx^2 Where: k is the spring constant. x is the compression or stretch of the spring. The work done by the spring is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the box: W_spring = ΔKE The change in kinetic energy is given by: ΔKE = (1/2)m(v^2 - u^2) Substituting the given values: ΔKE = (1/2)(8.0 kg)((0 m/s)^2 - (3 m/s)^2) ΔKE = (1/2)(8.0 kg)(-9 m^2/s^2) ΔKE = -36 J Now, equate this to the work done by the spring: -36 J = (1/2)k(0.12 m)^2 Now, solve for the spring constant (k): k = (-2 * -36 J) / (0.12 m)^2 k = (72 J) / (0.012 m^2) k = 6000 N/m F_spring = -(6000 N/m)(0.12 m) F_spring = -720 N

Both statement I (providing multiple rehabilitation schemes) and statement II (decreasing crime rates) are likely effects of a common cause or set of factors. The implementation of rehabilitation schemes may have contributed to a decrease in crime rates. However, it's important to note that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and other factors could also be at play. Therefore, the relation is best described as a common cause leading to both effects.

Q197. Read the passage and the following statements below. Then choose the correct Option, basing your answer only on the information provided.Pakistan is rich in wildlife and culture. It is home to many sorts of wildlife, from the Ibex to the Indus River Dolphin; and people from most countries in the world have made their home here.Statements:I. Pakistan is a rich country.II. People from all nationalities of the world live in Pakistan.III. Pakistan is home to at least one dolphin species.

• A. Only III is correct✓
• B. Only I and II are correct
• C. Only I and III are correct
• D. Only II and III are correct

Explanation: Based on the information provided in the passage, the correct option is: A. Only III is correct. The passage mentions that Pakistan is rich in wildlife and culture (implying cultural richness) and that it is home to at least one dolphin species. However, it does not provide information about people from all nationalities of the world living in Pakistan or whether Pakistan is a "rich" country in terms of wealth, so statements I and II cannot be conclusively supported.

Q200. Which of the following electronic configuration is correct for 24Cr?

• A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s¹✓
• B. 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s1,3d4
• C. 1s2,2s2,2p6, 3s2,3p6,3d6
• D. 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4f6

Explanation: The atomic number of chromium (Cr) is 24. To determine its correct electron configuration, we can use the Aufbau principle, which states that electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first. The electron configuration for chromium (Cr) is as follows:1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹ 3d⁵So, the correct electronic configuration for chromium (Cr) is:1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹ 3d⁵.
