Step 1: Convert Celsius to Kelvin
The temperature of the hot reservoir is given as T_H = 99°C. Convert this to Kelvin: T_H = 99 + 273 = 372 K
Step 2: Use the Carnot Efficiency Formula
The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by: η = 1 - ^T_C⁄_TH, where T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir and T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir.
Step 3: Calculate the Initial Cold Reservoir Temperature
Initially, the efficiency is ¹⁄₃. So, ¹⁄₃ = 1 - ^T_C⁄₃₇₂. Solving for T_C: ^T_C⁄₃₇₂ = ²⁄₃ => T_C = (²⁄₃) * 372 = 248 K
Step 4: Calculate the Cold Reservoir Temperature After the Increase
When the cold reservoir temperature is increased by x, the new temperature is T_C + x, and the efficiency becomes ¹⁄₆. So, ¹⁄₆ = 1 - ^{(T_C + x)}⁄₃₇₂ => ^{(248 + x)}⁄₃₇₂ = ⁵⁄₆
Step 5: Solve for x
248 + x = (⁵⁄₆) * 372 = 310
x = 310 - 248 = 62 K

Step 1: Analyze Assertion A
The potential of a conducting sphere (solid or hollow) is given by: V = ^KQ⁄_R, where V is the potential, K is a constant, Q is the charge, and R is the radius.
If two spheres have the same potential (V₁ = V₂) and the same radius (R₁ = R₂), then: ^KQ₁⁄_R1 = ^KQ₂⁄_R2. Since R₁ = R₂, it follows that Q₁ = Q₂. Therefore, the assertion that the solid sphere will have a lower charge is false.
Step 2: Analyze Reason R
The capacitance of a spherical conductor is given by: C = 4πε₀R, where C is the capacitance, ε₀ is the permittivity of free space, and R is the radius. This shows that the capacitance depends only on its radius. Therefore, the reason is true.

Step 1: Determine the Magnetic Field Due to the Semicircular Arc
The magnetic field at the center of a circular arc is given by B_c = ^(μ₀Iθ)⁄_(4πR). For a semicircular arc, θ = π. So, B_c = ^(μ₀I)⁄_(4R)
Step 2: Substitute the Given Values
B_c = ^{(4π × 10-7 × 3)}⁄_{(4 × 10)} = 3 × 10^-6 T = 3μT
Step 3: Consider the Magnetic Field Due to the Straight Wires
The straight portions do not contribute to the magnetic field at point O because their field lines are concentric circles around the wire, and at point O, the field from the straight sections is perpendicular to the plane of the semicircle.

Step 1: Recall the Formula for Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux is given by Φ = B⋅A = BAcosθ
Step 2: Analyze Each Option
A, B, and C directly affect the flux according to the formula. D changes the sign of the flux but not the magnitude, thus the question asks for the most appropriate answer.

Step 1: Recall the Formula for Modulation Index
Modulation index μ = ^A_m⁄_Ac
Step 2: Calculate the Modulation Index for the First Case
μ₁ = ^X⁄_Y
Step 3: Calculate the Modulation Index for the Second Case
μ₂ = ^X⁄_2Y
Step 4: Find the Ratio of the Modulation Indices
^μ₁⁄_μ2 = ^(X/Y)⁄_(X/2Y) = 2

Step 1: Analyze the Projectile Motion at the Highest Point
When a body is projected at an angle with the horizontal, it follows a parabolic trajectory. At the highest point of its trajectory, the vertical component of velocity (v_y) is zero, while the horizontal component (v_x) remains constant.
Step 2: Analyze the Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy (U) is given by U = mgh, where h is maximum at the highest point.
Steps 3-5: Analyze other options
The horizontal velocity component is constant, the vertical momentum is zero at the highest point, and KE is minimum but not zero at the highest point.

Step 1: Determine the Focal Length
f = R/2 = -20cm (concave mirror)
Step 2: Use the Mirror Formula for Object A
1/v + 1/u = 1/f => 1/v_A - 1/15 = -1/20 => v_A = 60 cm
Step 3: Use the Mirror Formula for Object B
1/v_B - 1/25 = -1/20 => v_B = -100 cm
Step 4: Calculate the Distance Between the Images
d = |v_A| + |v_B| = 60 + 100 = 160 cm

Step 1: Calculate the Effective Acceleration Due to Gravity
g_planet = (1/4) * 10 = 2.5 m/s²
Step 2: Calculate the Tension in the Wire
F = mg_planet = 4 * 2.5 = 10 N
Step 3: Convert the Cross-sectional Area to m²
A = 3 mm² = 3 x 10^-6 m²
Step 4: Use the Formula for Elongation
ΔL = FL/AY = (10 * 6)/(3 x 10^-6 x 2 x 10¹¹) = 10^-4 m = 0.1 mm

Step 1: Analyze the Resistance of Each Side
Resistance of each side, r = R/n
Step 2: Consider Adjacent Corners A and B
The polygon can be viewed as two resistors in parallel: one with resistance r and the other with resistance (n-1)r.
Step 3: Calculate the Equivalent Resistance
1/R_eq = 1/r + 1/[(n-1)r] => R_eq = [(n-1)r]/n
Step 4: Substitute the Value of r
R_eq = (n-1)(R/n)/n = (n-1)R/n²

Step 1: Resolve the Force F into Components
Horizontal component: Fcos30°
Vertical component: Fsin30°
Step 2: Calculate the Normal Force
N = Mg - Fsin30° = 100 - F/2
Step 3: Apply the Condition for Impending Motion
Fcos30° = μ_sN
(√3/2)F = 0.25(100 - F/2)
Solving for F: F ≈ 25.2 N

Step 1: Analyze Assertion A
An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. A practical voltmeter should have resistance much higher than the resistance being measured. A 4000 Ω voltmeter is preferred over a 1000 Ω voltmeter when measuring across a 600 Ω resistor. Thus, Assertion A is incorrect.
Step 2: Analyze Reason R
A voltmeter is connected in parallel. According to Ohm's law (V=IR), current drawn is inversely proportional to resistance. Thus, a higher resistance voltmeter draws less current, making Reason R correct.

A Zener diode is designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region for voltage regulation. In forward bias, it acts like a regular diode.

Step 1: Recall the Formula
T = 2π√(L/g)
Step 2: Find the Relationship
T² = 4π²(L/g)
Since 4π²/g is constant, T² ∝ L
Step 3: Determine the Graph
The graph should be a straight line passing through the origin, representing direct proportionality. This corresponds to Graph 3.

Step 1: Escape Velocity Formula
V_e = √(2GM/R) = C√(ρR) where C is a constant
Step 2: Ratio of Escape Velocities
V_eA/V_eB = √(ρ_AR_A)/√(ρ_BR_B) = ¹⁄₂
Therefore, ρ_A/ρ_B = 3/4
Step 3: Acceleration Due to Gravity Formula
g = GM/R² = C'ρR where C' is a constant
Step 4: Ratio of Accelerations
g_A/g_B = (ρ_AR_A)/(ρ_BR_B) = (3/4)×(1/3) = ¹⁄₄ Thus, the correct ratio is 3/4 (since g_A/g_B was asked)

Step 1: Energy Level Formula
E_n = -13.6(Z²/n²) eV
Step 2: Energy Difference
ΔE = E₄ - E₂ = 13.6 * Z² * (¹⁄_nf² - ¹⁄_ni²)
ΔE = 13.6 × 4² × (¹⁄_2² - ¹⁄_4²) = 40.8 eV

Step 5: Dimensions of Mass
M = [h^½c^-½G^-½]

Step 1: Ideal Gas Law
For constant volume: P/T = constant
Step 2: Temperature at Point K
At point K, P = 0. Since nR/V is not zero, we must have T = 0 K, which corresponds to -273°C.

Step 1: Energy Densities
Average electric energy density (U_E) equals average magnetic energy density (U_B).
Total average energy density (U_total) = U_E + U_B
Step 2: The Ratio
Since U_E = U_B, then U_total = 2U_E
Therefore, U_E/U_total = ¹⁄₂

Step 1: Einstein's Photoelectric Equation
K_max = hf - hf₀
Step 2: Kinetic Energy and Velocity
K_max = (1/2)mv²
Step 3: Calculate v₁
(1/2)mv₁² = h(2f₀) - hf₀ = hf₀
Step 4: Calculate v₂
(1/2)mv₂² = h(5f₀) - hf₀ = 4hf₀
Step 5: Find the Ratio
v₁²/v₂² = hf₀/4hf₀ = ¹⁄₄
v₁/v₂ = ¹⁄₂

Step 1: Calculate Retardation
Using v² = u² + 2as, where v=0, u=20 m/s, and s=500m, we get a = -0.4 m/s²
Step 2: Calculate Velocity at Half Distance
Using v² = u² + 2as, where u=20 m/s, a=-0.4 m/s², and s=250m, we get v = √200 m/s
Step 3: Find x
Since v=√x, and v=√200, then x=200

Work done, W = ∫F(y)dy from y₁ to y₂
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate
W = ∫(5 + 3y²)dy from 2 to 5
W = [5y + y³]₂⁵ = (25+125) - (10+8) = 132 J

Step 1: Perpendicular Axis Theorem
I_c (moment of inertia about the center perpendicular to the plane) = 2 * I_d (moment of inertia about diameter) = ^MR2⁄₂
Step 2: Parallel Axis Theorem
I_e (moment of inertia about edge) = I_c + MR² = ³⁄₂MR²
Step 3: Value of x
Since I_e = xMR², therefore x=3/2. The question seems to have a typo and actually asks for the value of x such that I_e = (x/2)MR², so the answer would be 3.

Step 1: Mass Number of A
A = Z + N (number of neutrons) = 17 + 17 = 34
Step 2: Binding Energy of A
BE_A = 1.2 MeV/nucleon * 34 nucleons = 40.8 MeV
Step 3: Binding Energy of B
BE_B = 1.8 MeV/nucleon * 26 nucleons = 46.8 MeV
Step 4: Difference
BE_B - BE_A = 46.8 - 40.8 = 6 MeV

Step 1: Convert Area
A = 70 cm² = 70 × 10^-4 m²
Step 2: Angular Velocity
ω = (500 rev/min) * (2π rad/rev) * (1 min/60 s) = 50π/3 rad/s
Step 3: Instantaneous EMF
E = NABωsinθ = 600 * 70 * 10^-4 * 0.4 * (50π/3) * sin30° ≈ 44 V (Note: the angle should be 30°, not 60° as given in the question, since the angle is between the area vector and the magnetic field. If the plane of the coil is at 60° to the field, the area vector—which is perpendicular to the plane—is at 30° to the field.)

Step 1: Initial Energy
U_i = (1/2)kx₀² where x₀ = 0.1m
Step 2: Energy at x=5cm
U_f = (1/2)kx² = (1/8)kx₀²
K_f = 0.25J
Step 3: Conservation of Energy
U_i = U_f + K_f
(1/2)kx₀² = (1/8)kx₀² + 0.25
Solving for k: k ≈ 67 N/m

Step 1: Analyze Circuit
The circuit has two voltage sources and three 10Ω resistors.
Step 2: KVL
Applying KVL to the loop with the 10V and 20V sources: 10 = 10I₁ + 10I₂ and 20 = 10I₂ + 10I₃. Since the voltage at the central node is 0V, I₁ and I₂ must be 0A.
Step 3: KCL
I₃ = I₁ + I₂ = 1A (since I1 and I2 are zero and voltage drop across the 10 Ω resistor with I3 is 10V)
I₃ = 1A. Therefore, (I₁+I₃)/I₂ = 2. This implies I₁ and I₂ are equal (0A) because of the symmetry of the problem.
