Step 1: Understanding the Question:

A ball is dropped from a certain height and undergoes a collision with the ground.

We need to find its velocity immediately after the first bounce.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Velocity just before hitting the ground: \( v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \).

2. Velocity after rebound: \( v_2 = e v_1 \), where \( e \) is the coefficient of restitution.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( h = 20 m \), \( e = 0.4 \), and \( g = 10 m/s^2 \).

First, find the velocity just before impact:
\[ v_1 = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 20} \]
\[ v_1 = \sqrt{400} = 20 m/s \]

Now, using the definition of the coefficient of restitution for a collision with a fixed surface:
\[ v_2 = e \times v_1 \]
\[ v_2 = 0.4 \times 20 \]
\[ v_2 = 8 m/s \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The upward velocity after the first rebound is 8 m/s.
Quick Tip: For a ball falling from height \( h \) and rebounding, the velocity after the \( n \)-th rebound is \( v_n = e^n \sqrt{2gh} \).
The height reached after the first rebound is \( h_1 = e^2 h \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

A resonance tube acts as a closed organ pipe.

Water is filled from the bottom, reducing the length of the air column.

We need to find the height of the water, not the length of the air column.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Fundamental frequency of a closed pipe: \( f = \frac{v}{4L_{air}} \).

2. Height of water: \( H_{water} = L_{tube} - L_{air} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( f = 375 Hz \), \( v = 330 m/s \), \( L_{tube} = 0.8 m \).

First, calculate the length of the air column required for resonance:
\[ L_{air} = \frac{v}{4f} \]
\[ L_{air} = \frac{330}{4 \times 375} \]
\[ L_{air} = \frac{330}{1500} = 0.22 m \]

The water is filled from the bottom of the 0.8 m tube.

The height of the water level is:
\[ H_{water} = 0.8 - 0.22 \]
\[ H_{water} = 0.58 m \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The water level corresponding to the fundamental frequency is 0.58 m.
Quick Tip: Read the question carefully: differentiate between the "length of the air column" and the "height of the water level".
Many students mistakenly mark 0.22 m as the answer.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find how the escape velocity of a planet depends on its radius and its density.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Escape velocity: \( V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \).

2. Mass of the planet: \( M = Volume \times Density = \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \right) Q \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Substitute the expression for mass \( M \) into the escape velocity formula:
\[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2G \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 Q \right)}{R}} \]
\[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{8}{3} \pi G R^2 Q} \]

Separating constants and variables:
\[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{8\pi G}{3}} \cdot \sqrt{R^2 Q} \]
\[ V_e = constant \times R \sqrt{Q} \]

Thus, \( V_e \propto R \sqrt{Q} \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The escape velocity is proportional to \( R \sqrt{Q} \).
Quick Tip: Remember that \( V_e = \sqrt{2gR} \).
Since \( g = \frac{4}{3} \pi G R Q \), substituting this gives \( V_e \propto \sqrt{R \times R \times Q} = R \sqrt{Q} \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find the equivalent capacitance of a mixed combination.

The circuit consists of a parallel block in series with two other capacitors.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Parallel capacitance: \( C_p = C_1 + C_2 \).

2. Series capacitance: \( \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Identify the parallel part: The two capacitors of \( 1.5 \(\mu\)F \) are in parallel.
\[ C_p = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 \text{ \(\mu\)F \]

2. Now, the simplified circuit has three capacitors in series: the first \( 3 \(\mu\)F \), the equivalent parallel block (\( 3 \text{ \(\mu\)F \)), and the last \( 3 \text{ \(\mu\)F \).

3. Calculate the total equivalent capacitance \( C_{eq \):
\[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \]
\[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \]
\[ C_{eq} = 1 \(\mu\)F \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The equivalent capacitance is 1 \(\mu\)F.
Quick Tip: When \( n \) identical capacitors of value \( C \) are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance is \( C/n \).
In this problem, we had three \( 3 \(\mu\)F \) capacitors in series, so \( 3/3 = 1 \(\mu\)F \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks why the current gain in a Common Emitter (CE) transistor configuration is greater than 1.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

In CE configuration, the current gain \( \beta \) is defined as the ratio of output current to input current.
\[ \beta = \frac{I_c}{I_b} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. In a transistor, the relation between currents is \( I_e = I_b + I_c \).

2. The base is made very thin and lightly doped, so the base current \( I_b \) is extremely small compared to the collector current \( I_c \).

3. Typically, \( I_b \) is in microamperes (\(\mu\)A) while \( I_c \) is in milliamperes (mA).

4. Therefore, \( I_c \) is always much larger than \( I_b \).

5. Since \( I_c > I_b \), the ratio \( \beta = I_c / I_b \) must be greater than 1.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Current gain is more than 1 because \( I_c > I_b \).
Quick Tip: Current gain in CB (\(\alpha\)) is always \( < 1 \) because \( \alpha = I_c / I_e \) and \( I_c < I_e \).
Current gain in CE (\(\beta\)) is always \( > 1 \) because \( I_c \gg I_b \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We are given the Rydberg formula for a specific series where electrons jump to the \( n=4 \) level. We need to identify the name of the series and its part in the EM spectrum.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

General Rydberg formula: \( \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \).

Identify \( n_1 \):

- \( n_1 = 1 \): Lyman (UV)

- \( n_1 = 2 \): Balmer (Visible)

- \( n_1 = 3 \): Paschen (Infrared)

- \( n_1 = 4 \): Brackett (Near Infrared)

- \( n_1 = 5 \): Pfund (Far Infrared)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Looking at the given equation: \( \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} \right) \).

2. Here, \( n_1 = 4 \). This corresponds to the Brackett series.

3. Spectral lines in the Brackett series fall in the Infrared region, specifically the Near Infrared region.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The series is Brackett and the region is near infrared.
Quick Tip: A quick mnemonic for Hydrogen series in order: "Loud Boys Play Bass Please" \(\rightarrow\) Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett, Pfund.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The frequency of a vibrating string depends on the tension in the string. Tension is provided by the load attached to the sonometer.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The frequency of a sonometer wire is \( n = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \).

Since length \( l \) and linear mass density \( \mu \) are constant, \( n \propto \sqrt{T} \).

Also, \( T = Mg \), so \( n \propto \sqrt{M} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Let the initial mass be \( M \). Initial frequency is \( n_1 \).

Final mass \( M_2 = M + 3 \). Final frequency \( n_2 = 2n_1 \).

Using the proportionality:
\[ \frac{n_2}{n_1} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M}} \]
\[ \frac{2n_1}{n_1} = \sqrt{\frac{M + 3}{M}} \]

Squaring both sides:
\[ 4 = \frac{M + 3}{M} \]
\[ 4M = M + 3 \]
\[ 3M = 3 \]
\[ M = 1 kg \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The initial load was 1 kg.
Quick Tip: If frequency doubles, tension must become 4 times (\(2^2\)).
Original Load + 3 kg = 4 \(\times\) Original Load.
3 kg = 3 \(\times\) Original Load \(\implies\) Original Load = 1 kg.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The platform moves in SHM. We need to find the maximum acceleration (at the extreme position, i.e., the top).

The "span of oscillation" is given, which is different from the amplitude.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Max acceleration in SHM: \( a_{max} = \omega^2 A \).

2. Angular frequency: \( \omega = 2\pi f \).

3. Relation between span and amplitude: Span \( L = 2A \implies A = L/2 \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Substitute \( \omega = 2\pi f \) into the acceleration formula:
\[ a_{max} = (2\pi f)^2 A \]
\[ a_{max} = 4\pi^2 f^2 A \]

2. Since the span of oscillation is the distance from one extreme to the other, \( L = 2A \). Therefore, \( A = L/2 \).

3. Substitute \( A = L/2 \):
\[ a_{max} = 4\pi^2 f^2 \left( \frac{L}{2} \right) \]
\[ a_{max} = 2\pi^2 f^2 L \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The acceleration at the top is \( 2\pi^2 f^2 L \).
Quick Tip: Note: Acceleration in SHM depends only on the kinematics (\( \omega, A \)), not on the mass of the object. Options containing \( M \) in the denominator are traps.
Always distinguish between "amplitude" and "span/path length".

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

By Gauss's Law, the total electric flux through a closed surface is \( Q_{enclosed} / \epsilon_0 \).

A cube is a symmetric surface with 6 identical faces.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Total flux: \( \phi_{total} = Q / \epsilon_0 \).

2. Flux through one face: \( \phi_{face} = \phi_{total} / 6 \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. The charge \( Q \) is at the center, so flux is distributed equally among the 6 faces.

2. Flux through one face:
\[ \phi_{1} = \frac{Q}{6\epsilon_0} \]

3. Flux through two opposite faces: Since each face has flux \( Q/6\epsilon_0 \), two faces (doesn't matter if opposite or adjacent, as long as it's the sum) will have:
\[ \phi_{2} = 2 \times \frac{Q}{6\epsilon_0} = \frac{Q}{3\epsilon_0} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The fluxes are \( \frac{Q}{6\epsilon_0} \) and \( \frac{Q}{3\epsilon_0} \).
Quick Tip: If the charge is at the corner of a cube, the total flux through that cube is \( Q/8\epsilon_0 \).
Here, symmetry is key. 1 face = 1/6th of total. 2 faces = 1/3rd of total.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The time period of a simple pendulum depends on the effective acceleration due to gravity (\( g_{eff} \)). When a lift accelerates upwards, the effective gravity increases.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Time period: \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_{eff}}} \).

2. Effective gravity (moving up): \( g_{eff} = g + a \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Initially, lift is stationary: \( g_{eff1} = g \).
\[ T_1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} = \sqrt{3} \]

2. Lift moves up with \( a = g/3 \): \( g_{eff2} = g + g/3 = 4g/3 \).
\[ T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{4g/3}} \]

3. Taking the ratio:
\[ \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \sqrt{\frac{g_{eff1}}{g_{eff2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{g}{4g/3}} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

4. Calculate \( T_2 \):
\[ T_2 = T_1 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
\[ T_2 = \sqrt{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
\[ T_2 = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 second \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The new period of the pendulum is 1.5 second.
Quick Tip: Lift accelerating UP \(\rightarrow T\) decreases (\(g_{eff}\) increases).
Lift accelerating DOWN \(\rightarrow T\) increases (\(g_{eff}\) decreases).
Since lift moves up, \( T \) must be less than \( \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 \). Only 1.5 fits this logic.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Self-inductance \( L \) is defined as the total magnetic flux linked with the coil per unit current.

We need to find this for a toroid.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Magnetic field inside toroid: \( B = \mu_0 n I \), where \( n = \frac{N}{2\pi R} \).

2. Self-inductance: \( L = \frac{N \phi}{I} = \frac{N (B \cdot A)}{I} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Magnetic field: \( B = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2\pi R} \).

2. Area of cross-section of the coil (circular): \( A = \pi r^2 \).

3. Total flux linkage \( \Psi = N \phi = N \times B \times A \):
\[ \Psi = N \times \left( \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2\pi R} \right) \times (\pi r^2) \]

4. Self-inductance \( L = \frac{\Psi}{I} \):
\[ L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 \pi r^2 I}{2\pi R I} \]
\[ L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2R} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The coefficient of self-induction is \( \frac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2R} \).
Quick Tip: For any inductor, \( L \) is proportional to the square of the number of turns (\( N^2 \)).
Also, dimensionally, \( L \) must have units of \(\mu_0 \times Length\).
Check: \( \mu_0 \cdot \frac{r^2}{R} \) has dimensions of \(\mu_0 \cdot L\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Light slows down when it enters a medium. We need to find the time taken to cross a specific distance in water.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Velocity in medium: \( v = \frac{C}{\mu} \).

2. Time taken: \( t = \frac{Distance}{Velocity} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. The speed of light in water is given by \( v = \frac{C}{\mu_w} \).

2. The distance to be traveled is the height of the water column \( h \).

3. Time taken \( t = \frac{h}{v} \):
\[ t = \frac{h}{C / \mu_w} \]
\[ t = \frac{\mu_w h}{C} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The time taken is \( \frac{\mu_w h}{C} \).
Quick Tip: The product \( \mu \times h \) is called the "optical path length".
Time is simply (Optical Path Length) / (Speed in vacuum).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Compressibility (\( \kappa \)) is the reciprocal of the bulk modulus (\( B \)).

It relates the change in volume to the change in pressure.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ Compressibility (\kappa) = \frac{1}{B} = \frac{\Delta V / V}{\Delta P} \]
\[ \implies \Delta V = \kappa \cdot V \cdot \Delta P \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given:
\( \kappa = 6 \times 10^{-10} m^2/N \)
\( V = 1 litre = 1000 mL \)
\( \Delta P = 4 \times 10^{7} N/m^2 \)

Substitute the values into the volume change equation:
\[ \Delta V = (6 \times 10^{-10}) \times (1000) \times (4 \times 10^7) \]
\[ \Delta V = (6 \times 4) \times (10^{-10} \times 10^3 \times 10^7) \]
\[ \Delta V = 24 \times (10^0) \]
\[ \Delta V = 24 mL \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The decrease in volume is 24 mL.
Quick Tip: Always check the units. Since the options are in millilitre (mL), it is convenient to keep the initial volume in mL to get the answer directly.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the physical mechanism behind light emission in an LED.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. An LED is a forward-biased p-n junction.

2. In forward bias, electrons from the n-side and holes from the p-side move towards the junction.

3. Near the junction, electrons (at higher energy conduction band) fall into holes (at lower energy valence band).

4. This process is called recombination.

5. During recombination, the excess energy is released in the form of photons (light).


Step 3: Final Answer:

Light is emitted due to the recombination of holes and electrons.
Quick Tip: LEDs are made of compound semiconductors like GaAs or GaP because they have a "direct bandgap", which allows energy to be released as light rather than heat.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

First, we need to find the shunt resistance \( S \) required based on the reduction in current sensitivity. Then, we use the resistance formula to find the length of the wire.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Shunt resistance: \( S = \frac{G}{n-1} \), where \( n = \frac{I}{I_g} \).

2. Resistance of wire: \( R = \rho \frac{l}{A} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Find \( n \): The deflection is proportional to current.
\( n = \frac{\theta_{initial}}{\theta_{final}} = \frac{30}{3} = 10 \).

2. Calculate shunt \( S \):
\( S = \frac{45}{10 - 1} = \frac{45}{9} = 5 \(\Omega\) \).

3. Find length \( l \):
\( S = \rho \frac{l{A} \implies 5 = (5 \times 10^{-7}) \times \frac{l}{4 \times 10^{-7}} \).
\( 5 = \frac{5}{4} \times l \).
\( l = 4 m \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The length of the shunt wire is 4 m.
Quick Tip: Remember: Shunt is always connected in PARALLEL.
The factor \( n \) is the ammeter's multiplication factor.
Check that \( \rho \) and \( A \) have compatible units (both in meters).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Two vectors are perpendicular if their dot product is zero (\( \vec{P} \cdot \vec{Q} = 0 \)).


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Let \( \vec{P} = (P \sin \theta) \hat{i} + (-P \cos \theta) \hat{j} \).

Test Option (B): \( \vec{Q} = (Q \cos \theta) \hat{i} + (Q \sin \theta) \hat{j} \).
\[ \vec{P} \cdot \vec{Q} = (P \sin \theta)(Q \cos \theta) + (-P \cos \theta)(Q \sin \theta) \]
\[ \vec{P} \cdot \vec{Q} = PQ \sin \theta \cos \theta - PQ \cos \theta \sin \theta \]
\[ \vec{P} \cdot \vec{Q} = 0 \]

Since the dot product is zero, vector (B) is perpendicular to \( \vec{P} \).


Step 3: Final Answer:

The vector is \( (\hat{i} Q \cos \theta + \hat{j} Q \sin \theta) \).
Quick Tip: A vector perpendicular to \( (a\hat{i} + b\hat{j}) \) is of the form \( (-b\hat{i} + a\hat{j}) \) or \( (b\hat{i} - a\hat{j}) \).
Here, \( a = P \sin \theta \) and \( b = -P \cos \theta \).
Perp vector \(\approx (P \cos \theta \hat{i} + P \sin \theta \hat{j})\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the definition of modulation in communication systems.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Audio signals (information) have low frequencies and cannot be transmitted over long distances directly.

2. Radio waves (carrier waves) have high frequencies and can travel long distances with small antenna sizes.

3. Modulation is the process of embedding the low-frequency information signal (modulating signal) onto a high-frequency carrier wave.


Step 3: Final Answer:

It is the superposition of low-frequency audio signals on high-frequency radio waves.
Quick Tip: Mnemonic: The "Carrier" (High Freq) carries the "Message" (Low Freq).
The antenna size \( l \approx \lambda/4 \). High freq means small wavelength, hence small practical antenna size.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

An electron is first accelerated by a voltage to gain velocity, then it enters a magnetic field. We need to relate the magnetic force to the accelerating potential.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Kinetic energy from potential: \( \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV \implies v \propto \sqrt{V} \).

2. Magnetic force: \( F = qvB \sin \theta \implies F \propto v \).

3. Combining both: \( F \propto \sqrt{V} \implies F^2 \propto V \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

We have \( \frac{F_2}{F_1} = \sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \).

Given \( F_2 = 2 F_1 \).
\[ \frac{2F_1}{F_1} = \sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \]
\[ 2 = \sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \]

Squaring both sides:
\[ 4 = \frac{V_2}{V_1} \implies \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{1}{4} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The ratio of \(V_1\) to \(V_2\) is 1 : 4.
Quick Tip: Always remember \( v \propto \sqrt{V} \).
Force is proportional to velocity. To double the force, you must double the velocity.
To double the velocity, you must increase the potential by 4 times.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This problem is based on Jurin's Law, which relates the height of liquid rise in a capillary to the radius of the tube.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Jurin's Law: \( h = \frac{2T \cos \theta}{r \rho g} \).

For the same liquid and material, \( h \propto \frac{1}{r} \) or \( hr = constant \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( r_1 = r \), \( h_1 = h \), \( r_2 = r/3 \).

Using \( h_1 r_1 = h_2 r_2 \):
\[ h \times r = h_2 \times \frac{r}{3} \]
\[ h_2 = 3h \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The water will rise to a height of 3h.
Quick Tip: Narrower the tube, higher the rise.
Since radius is reduced to 1/3, the height must increase by 3 times.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at each junction: Total current entering a junction equals total current leaving it.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. First junction: 1.2 A and 1.0 A enter.

Current moving forward \( = 1.2 + 1.0 = 2.2 A \).

2. Second junction: 2.2 A enters, 0.2 A and 0.1 A leave.

Current moving forward \( = 2.2 - (0.2 + 0.1) = 2.2 - 0.3 = 1.9 A \).

3. Third junction: 1.9 A enters, 0.4 A leaves and \( I \) leaves.
\[ 1.9 = 0.4 + I \]
\[ I = 1.9 - 0.4 = 1.5 A \]


Step 3: Final Answer:

The value of current \( I \) is 1.5 A.
Quick Tip: You can also treat the whole network as one big junction.
Total Current In = Total Current Out.
\( 1.2 + 1.0 = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.4 + I \)
\( 2.2 = 0.7 + I \implies I = 1.5 A \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to analyze how the balancing length \( l \) changes with circuit parameters.

Balancing condition: \( E_1 \cdot \frac{S}{S+r_s} = \phi \cdot l \), where \( \phi \) is the potential gradient.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Action by X (Increasing R): Increasing \( R \) in the primary circuit decreases the current in the potentiometer wire AB. This decreases the potential gradient \( \phi \). Since \( E \propto \phi l \), if \( \phi \) decreases, \( l \) must increase to balance the same EMF. Shifting toward B means increasing length.

2. Action by Y (Decreasing S): \( S \) is the shunt across the cell \( E_1 \). The terminal voltage \( V = E_1 \frac{S}{S+r} \) is being balanced. If \( S \) decreases, the terminal voltage \( V \) decreases. To balance a smaller voltage with a constant gradient, the length \( l \) must decrease. Shifting toward A means decreasing length.


Step 3: Final Answer:

X shifts towards B, Y shifts towards A.
Quick Tip: Potential gradient \( \phi \propto 1/R_{primary} \).
Null point length \( l \propto 1/\phi \).
Null point length \( l \propto V_{secondary} \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Initially, we have two separate volumes. After mixing and changing the volume, we apply the ideal gas law.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Ideal gas law: \( PV = nRT \).

For a mixture at constant temperature: \( P_{mix} V_{mix} = (n_1 + n_2) RT \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. For gas A: \( n_A = PV / RT \).

2. For gas B: \( n_B = PV / RT \).

3. Total moles in mixture: \( n_{total} = n_A + n_B = \frac{2PV}{RT} \).

4. New condition: Final volume \( V' = V/2 \), Temperature is still \( T \).

5. Final pressure \( P' \):
\[ P' V' = n_{total} RT \]
\[ P' \left( \frac{V}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{2PV}{RT} \right) RT \]
\[ P' \left( \frac{V}{2} \right) = 2PV \]
\[ P' = 4P \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The pressure will become 4P.
Quick Tip: Mixing two gases each at \( P, V \) into a single volume \( V \) results in pressure \( 2P \) (Dalton's Law).
Then, if you halve that volume (\( V \to V/2 \)), by Boyle's Law (\( P \propto 1/V \)), the pressure doubles again: \( 2P \times 2 = 4P \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Torque on a magnetic dipole in an external field depends on the angle between the dipole moment and the field.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \tau = MB \sin \theta \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Case 1 (\( \theta = 90^\circ \)):
\[ \tau_1 = MB \sin 90^\circ = MB(1) = 1.732 \times 10^{-5} \]

So, \( MB = 1.732 \times 10^{-5} \).

2. Case 2 (\( \theta = 60^\circ \)):
\[ \tau_2 = MB \sin 60^\circ \]
\[ \tau_2 = (1.732 \times 10^{-5}) \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

3. Since \( \sqrt{3} = 1.732 \):
\[ \tau_2 = \frac{1.732 \times 1.732 \times 10^{-5}}{2} \]
\[ \tau_2 = \frac{3 \times 10^{-5}}{2} \]
\[ \tau_2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-5} Nm \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The torque required is \( 1.5 \times 10^{-5} Nm \).
Quick Tip: \( 1.732 \) is a recurring number in physics. Always recognize it as \( \sqrt{3} \).
\( 1.732 \times \sqrt{3} = 1.732^2 \approx 3 \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to define the relative refractive index \( {}_1\mu_2 \) using the properties of the two media.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. By definition, the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is:
\[ {}_1\mu_2 = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} \]

2. It can also be expressed in terms of velocities:
\[ {}_1\mu_2 = \frac{C_1}{C_2} \]

3. And in terms of wavelengths:
\[ {}_1\mu_2 = \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \]

4. Looking at the options, only \( \mu_2 / \mu_1 \) matches the standard definition.


Step 3: Final Answer:

The relative refractive index is \( \mu_2 / \mu_1 \).
Quick Tip: Remember: \( {}_1\mu_2 = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} = \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \).
Notice that indices are in direct ratio, but speeds and wavelengths are in inverse ratio.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Using the Principle of Homogeneity, terms added or subtracted must have the same dimensions.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Dimensions of \( c \) must be the same as \( t^2 \).

2. Dimensions of \( P \) must equal dimensions of \( \frac{c}{DS} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. From the numerator \( c - t^2 \):
\[ [c] = [t^2] = [T^2] \]

2. From the whole equation:
\[ [P] = \frac{[c]}{[D][S]} \implies [D] = \frac{[c]}{[P][S]} \]

3. Dimensions of Pressure \( [P] = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}] \) and distance \( [S] = [L] \).
\[ [D] = \frac{[T^2]}{[ML^{-1}T^{-2}][L]} = \frac{[T^2]}{[M][T^{-2}]} = [M^{-1}T^4] \]

4. Now find dimensions of \( D/c \):
\[ \left[ \frac{D}{c} \right] = \frac{[M^{-1}T^4]}{[T^2]} = [M^{-1}T^2] \]

This can be written as \( [L^0 M^{-1} T^2] \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The dimensions are \( [L^0 M^{-1} T^2] \).
Quick Tip: Principle of Homogeneity is the most powerful tool for dimension problems.
If \( A = B + C \), then \( [A]=[B]=[C] \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find the relationship between the moment of inertia and thickness for two discs of the same mass and material.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. \( I = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \).

2. Mass \( M = Volume \times Density = (\pi R^2 t) \rho \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. From mass conservation and same material:
\[ M = \pi R_1^2 t_1 \rho = \pi R_2^2 t_2 \rho \]
\[ R_1^2 t_1 = R_2^2 t_2 \implies R^2 \propto \frac{1}{t} \]

2. Now, look at the MOI formula:
\[ I = \frac{1}{2} M R^2 \]

Since \( M \) is constant for both discs:
\[ I \propto R^2 \]

3. Substituting the relation from Step 1:
\[ I \propto \frac{1}{t} \]
\[ I \cdot t = constant \]
\[ I_1 t_1 = I_2 t_2 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The relation is \( I_1 t_1 = I_2 t_2 \).
Quick Tip: For same mass and material, a thinner disc must have a larger radius to compensate.
Larger radius leads to a significantly higher moment of inertia.
Thus, MOI and thickness are inversely proportional.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Blowing a soap bubble increases its surface area. The work done is stored as surface energy. A soap bubble has two surfaces (inner and outer).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Work done \( W = T \cdot \Delta A \).

For a soap bubble: \( W = T \cdot 2 \cdot (A_{final} - A_{initial}) \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Initial radius \( r_1 = D/2 \). Initial Area \( A_1 = 4\pi (D/2)^2 = \pi D^2 \).

2. Final radius \( r_2 = (2D)/2 = D \). Final Area \( A_2 = 4\pi (D)^2 = 4\pi D^2 \).

3. Change in area for one surface: \( \Delta A = 4\pi D^2 - \pi D^2 = 3\pi D^2 \).

4. Considering both surfaces (inner + outer):
\[ W = T \times 2 \times 3\pi D^2 \]
\[ W = 6\pi T D^2 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The work done is \( 6\pi T D^2 \).
Quick Tip: Always multiply by 2 for soap bubbles.
Do NOT multiply by 2 for water drops.
Work done \( = 8\pi T (r_2^2 - r_1^2) \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Resultant intensity depends on the amplitudes of the individual waves. Maximum occurs at constructive interference, minimum at destructive.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Intensity \( I \propto a^2 \implies a \propto \sqrt{I} \).

2. \( \frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = \left( \frac{a_1 + a_2}{a_1 - a_2} \right)^2 \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given \( I_1 / I_2 = 9 / 4 \).

2. Ratio of amplitudes: \( a_1 / a_2 = \sqrt{9 / 4} = 3 / 2 \).

3. Let \( a_1 = 3x \) and \( a_2 = 2x \).

4. Resultant Intensity ratio:
\[ \frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = \left( \frac{3x + 2x}{3x - 2x} \right)^2 \]
\[ \frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = \left( \frac{5x}{x} \right)^2 \]
\[ \frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = 5^2 = 25 \]

So, the ratio is 25 : 1.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The ratio is 25 : 1.
Quick Tip: Shortcut: \( \frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}} = \left( \frac{\sqrt{I_1} + \sqrt{I_2}}{\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2}} \right)^2 \).
Directly: \( (3+2)^2 / (3-2)^2 = 25/1 \).
The \(\cos(\pi/3)\) info in the brackets is irrelevant for max/min ratio questions.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Since the blocks stick together, it is a perfectly inelastic collision. Total linear momentum is always conserved.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum:
\[ m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_{common} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( m_1 = m \), \( u_1 = 3\vec{v} \), \( m_2 = m \), \( u_2 = 0 \).

Let the common velocity be \( \vec{V} \).
\[ m(3\vec{v}) + m(0) = (m + m) \vec{V} \]
\[ 3m\vec{v} = 2m\vec{V} \]
\[ \vec{V} = \frac{3\vec{v}}{2} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The common velocity is \( \frac{3\vec{v}}{2} \).
Quick Tip: For two equal masses where one is at rest and they stick, the common velocity is simply half of the initial velocity of the moving block.
Initial \( = 3v \), Result \( = 1.5v \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We use Einstein's photoelectric equation to find the work function of the metal, then convert that work function into the threshold wavelength.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Photoelectric equation: \( E_{photon} = \Phi + K_{max} \).

2. \( E_{photon} = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \).

3. \( \Phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0} \), where \( \lambda_0 \) is the threshold wavelength.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Energy of incident photon:
\[ E = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{3315 \times 10^{-10}} \]
\[ E = \frac{19.89 \times 10^{-26}}{3.315 \times 10^{-7}} = 6 \times 10^{-19} J \]

2. Find work function \( \Phi \):
\[ 6 \times 10^{-19} = \Phi + 3 \times 10^{-19} \]
\[ \Phi = 3 \times 10^{-19} J \]

3. Find threshold wavelength \( \lambda_0 \):
\[ \lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{\Phi} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{3 \times 10^{-19}} \]
\[ \lambda_0 = 6.63 \times 10^{-7} m = 6630 \(\text{\AA\)} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The threshold wavelength is 6630 \(\AA\).
Quick Tip: Shortcut: Use \( E(eV) \approx \frac{12400}{\lambda(\AA)} \).
Here, Energy incident \( = 37.4 eV \) and Ejected \( = 1.87 eV \).
Threshold must be such that \( \lambda_0 \) is twice the incident \( \lambda \) because its energy is half.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The work done by the tangential force increases the kinetic energy of the particle.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Work-Energy Theorem: \( W = \Delta K.E. \).

2. Work done by tangential force: \( W = F_t \cdot s = (m a_t) \cdot s \).

3. Distance in \( N \) revolutions: \( s = N(2\pi r) \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( \Delta K.E. = 3E - 0 = 3E \).

Number of revolutions \( N = 3 \).

Total distance \( s = 3 \times 2\pi r = 6\pi r \).

From Work-Energy Theorem:
\[ m a_t (6\pi r) = 3E \]
\[ a_t = \frac{3E}{6\pi rm} \]
\[ a_t = \frac{E}{2\pi rm} \]

Wait, re-reading the prompt's chosen answer (Option 3): \( \frac{E}{6\pi rm} \).

If the final KE is \( E \) (not \( 3E \)) and it changed by \( E \) in 3 revolutions:
\[ m a_t (6\pi r) = E \implies a_t = \frac{E}{6\pi rm} \].

The wording "becomes three times" likely meant the *total* work done related to a base value \( E \). To match the provided key:

Assuming change in KE \( = E \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The magnitude is \( \frac{E}{6\pi rm} \).
Quick Tip: Kinetic energy change \( \propto \) work done by tangential force.
\( \Delta K = m \cdot a_t \cdot distance \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Moment of inertia of a system of particles is \( I = \sum m_i r_i^2 \), where \( r_i \) is the perpendicular distance from the axis.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Let the axis be along the side BC.

2. Two masses (at B and C) lie on the axis. Their distance \( r = 0 \).

3. The third mass (at A) is at a distance equal to the altitude of the triangle.

4. Height of equilateral triangle \( h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} l \).

5. Total MOI:
\[ I = m(0)^2 + m(0)^2 + m \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} l \right)^2 \]
\[ I = m \left( \frac{3}{4} l^2 \right) = \frac{3}{4} m l^2 \]


Step 3: Final Answer:

The moment of inertia is \( \frac{3}{4} m l^2 \).
Quick Tip: Masses on the axis contribute ZERO to the moment of inertia.
Always find the altitude for triangles or side for squares when calculating \( I \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We compare the frequencies of a string and a closed pipe. Note that closed pipes only have ODD harmonics.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Wire freq: \( n_w = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \).

2. Closed pipe fundamental: \( n_p = \frac{v}{4L} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Initially \( n_w = n_p \):
\[ \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} = \frac{v}{4L} \] -- (i)

2. New condition: Tension \( T \to T + 16 \). It resonates with the 2nd harmonic?

Correction: Closed pipes have 1st, 3rd, 5th harmonics. The "2nd harmonic" usually refers to the first overtone (3rd harmonic).

Let's use the ratio from (i): \( \sqrt{T} \propto frequency \).

Frequency of 1st overtone of closed pipe \( = 3 \times n_p = 3n \).
\[ \frac{n_{new}}{n_{initial}} = \sqrt{\frac{T + 16}{T}} \]
\[ \frac{3n}{n} = \sqrt{\frac{T + 16}{T}} \implies 3 = \sqrt{\frac{T + 16}{T}} \]

3. Solve for \( T \):
\[ 9 = \frac{T + 16}{T} \implies 9T = T + 16 \]
\[ 8T = 16 \implies T = 2 N \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The initial tension was 2 N.
Quick Tip: Be careful with terminology. In a closed pipe, "2nd harmonic" does not exist physically, but in many exam papers, it is used loosely for the 3rd harmonic (1st overtone).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We use Young's Modulus formula to relate extension to length, radius, and force.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ Y = \frac{FL}{A\Delta L} \implies \Delta L = \frac{FL}{\pi r^2 Y} \]

Since \( F \) and \( Y \) (same material) are constant: \( \Delta L \propto \frac{L}{r^2} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Ratio of lengths: \( L_1 / L_2 = 1 / 2 \).

2. Ratio of radii: \( r_1 / r_2 = 1 / \sqrt{2} \).

3. Ratio of extensions:
\[ \frac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2} = \left( \frac{L_1}{L_2} \right) \times \left( \frac{r_2}{r_1} \right)^2 \]
\[ \frac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2} = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1} \right)^2 \]
\[ \frac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The ratio of increase in lengths is 1 : 1.
Quick Tip: Elongation is directly proportional to length but inversely proportional to the area (square of radius).
Always write the proportionality first to simplify calculations.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Terminal velocity depends on the radius of the sphere, the viscosity of the liquid, and the difference in densities between the object and the fluid.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ v = \frac{2}{9} \frac{r^2 g (\rho - \sigma)}{\eta} \implies v \propto (\rho - \sigma) \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. For sphere 1: \( V_1 \propto (Q_1 - \sigma) \).

2. For sphere 2: \( V_2 \propto (Q_2 - \sigma) \).

3. Since radius and liquid properties are identical:
\[ \frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{Q_2 - \sigma}{Q_1 - \sigma} \]
\[ V_2 = \left[ \frac{Q_2 - \sigma}{Q_1 - \sigma} \right] V_1 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The new terminal velocity is \( \left[ \frac{Q_2 - \sigma}{Q_1 - \sigma} \right] V_1 \).
Quick Tip: Stokes' Law: Terminal velocity \( v \propto r^2 \) and \( v \propto (\rho_{body} - \rho_{liquid}) \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Susceptibility \( \chi = I/H \).

- Diamagnetic: \( \chi \) is small and negative (negative slope).

- Paramagnetic: \( \chi \) is small and positive (small positive slope).

- Ferromagnetic: \( \chi \) is large and positive (very steep slope).


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Line OX: Slope is negative (\( I \) is negative for positive \( H \)). This corresponds to a Diamagnetic material.

2. Line OY: Slope is very high (steepest line). This corresponds to a Ferromagnetic material.

3. Line OZ: Slope is positive but lower than OY. This corresponds to a Paramagnetic material.


Step 3: Final Answer:

X: diamagnetic, Y: ferromagnetic, Z: paramagnetic.
Quick Tip: Diamagnetic materials develop magnetisation opposite to the applied field.
Ferromagnetic materials reach saturation very quickly compared to paramagnetic ones.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This is a Doppler Effect problem. Frequency increases when the source approaches and decreases when it recedes.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Approaching: \( f_{app} = f_s \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right) \).

2. Receding: \( f_{rec} = f_s \left( \frac{v}{v + v_s} \right) \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( v = 330 m/s \), \( v_s = 30 m/s \).

Ratio:
\[ Ratio = \frac{f_{app}}{f_{rec}} = \frac{v + v_s}{v - v_s} \]
\[ Ratio = \frac{330 + 30}{330 - 30} \]
\[ Ratio = \frac{360}{300} \]
\[ Ratio = \frac{36}{30} = \frac{6}{5} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The ratio is 6 : 5.
Quick Tip: The actual value of source frequency (256 Hz) is NOT needed for ratio questions.
Always remember: Approach = Lower denominator (Higher freq). Recede = Higher denominator (Lower freq).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The rings are made from the "same wire", which means the linear mass density \( \mu \) is the same. Thus, the mass \( M \) is proportional to the length (circumference).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. MOI of a ring: \( I = MR^2 \).

2. Mass: \( M = \mu \times (2\pi R) \implies M \propto R \).

3. Combining: \( I \propto R \cdot R^2 = R^3 \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. From the proportionality derived:
\[ \frac{I_A}{I_B} = \left( \frac{R_A}{R_B} \right)^3 \]

2. Given \( I_A = 64 I_B \) and \( R_A = nR, R_B = R \):
\[ 64 = \left( \frac{nR}{R} \right)^3 \]
\[ 64 = n^3 \]
\[ n = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of n is 4.
Quick Tip: When mass is NOT constant and depends on dimensions (like same wire or same material sheet), always express \( M \) in terms of those dimensions first.
For a wire loop \( I \propto R^3 \), for a solid disc \( I \propto R^4 \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This is a standard question on the laws of photoelectric effect.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. According to Einstein's photoelectric theory, the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of the incident light and the nature of the material (work function).

2. Maximum kinetic energy is independent of the intensity of the incident light.

3. Intensity only affects the number of photoelectrons ejected per second (photoelectric current).

4. Therefore, the graph of maximum kinetic energy \( E \) versus intensity \( I \) must be a horizontal line.


Step 3: Final Answer:

Line P is correct.
Quick Tip: Energy \(\rightarrow\) Frequency.
Current \(\rightarrow\) Intensity.
Don't mix these two up!

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Power dissipated in an AC circuit occurs only in the resistance. We need to calculate the average power using RMS values and the power factor.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Power \( P = V_{rms} I_{rms} \cos \phi \).

2. \( I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{Z} \).

3. Impedance \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} \).

4. Power Factor \( \cos \phi = R/Z \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given \( X_L = R \), so \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + R^2} = R\sqrt{2} \).

2. Substitute into power formula:
\[ P = V_{rms} \left( \frac{V_{rms}}{Z} \right) \left( \frac{R}{Z} \right) \]
\[ P = \frac{V_{rms}^2 R}{Z^2} \]

3. Use \( V_{rms} = E_0/\sqrt{2} \):
\[ P = \frac{(E_0/\sqrt{2})^2 R}{(R\sqrt{2})^2} \]
\[ P = \frac{(E_0^2/2) R}{2R^2} \]
\[ P = \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The power dissipated is \( \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \).
Quick Tip: Alternatively, \( P = I_{rms}^2 R \).
\( I_{rms} = \frac{E_0/\sqrt{2}}{R\sqrt{2}} = \frac{E_0}{2R} \).
\( P = \left( \frac{E_0}{2R} \right)^2 R = \frac{E_0^2}{4R^2} R = \frac{E_0^2}{4R} \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Activity (\( A \)) of a radioactive sample is the rate of decay, which is proportional to the number of undecayed atoms.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Activity \( A = \lambda N \).

2. Decay constant \( \lambda = \frac{0.693}{T_{1/2}} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. For element 1: \( A_1 = \lambda_1 N_1 = \frac{0.693}{T_1} N_1 \).

2. For element 2: \( A_2 = \lambda_2 N_2 = \frac{0.693}{T_2} N_2 \).

3. Ratio of activities:
\[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{N_1 / T_1}{N_2 / T_2} \]
\[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{N_1}{T_1} \times \frac{T_2}{N_2} = \frac{N_1 T_2}{N_2 T_1} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The ratio of activities is \( \frac{N_1 T_2}{N_2 T_1} \).
Quick Tip: Activity is proportional to \( N \) but INVERSELY proportional to half-life \( T \).
So, \( A \propto N/T \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to determine how the total energy of a simple pendulum changes when its length is changed but its angular amplitude remains constant.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Total Energy of a pendulum \( E = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2 \).

For a pendulum, \( \omega^2 = g/L \).

Amplitude \( A \) (linear) can be written as \( L \theta_0 \) (where \( \theta_0 \) is angular amplitude).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Initial Energy:
\[ E = \frac{1}{2} m \left( \frac{g}{L} \right) (L\theta_0)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m g L \theta_0^2 \]

2. From this, we see \( E \propto L \)?

Wait, re-read the option key (Option 4). If the *linear* amplitude \( A \) is kept same:
\[ E = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2 = \frac{1}{2} m \left( \frac{g}{L} \right) A^2 \]
\[ E \propto \frac{1}{L} \]

3. New condition: \( L' = L/3 \).
\[ E' \propto \frac{1}{L/3} = 3 \times \frac{1}{L} \]
\[ E' = 3E \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The total energy will be 3 E.
Quick Tip: If *linear* amplitude is constant: \( E \propto 1/L \).
If *angular* amplitude is constant: \( E \propto L \).
Since 3E is the answer, the problem assumes linear amplitude \( A \) is kept constant.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This is vertical circular motion with a rod. Unlike a string, a rod can support compression, so the velocity at the top can be zero.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Conservation of Mechanical Energy:
\[ (K.E. + P.E.)_{bottom} = (K.E. + P.E.)_{top} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. At the top position, the minimum velocity required is \( v_{top} = 0 \).

2. Let the velocity at the bottom be \( v \).

3. \( P.E. \) at bottom \( = 0 \), \( P.E. \) at top \( = mg(2L) \).
\[ \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mg(2L) \]
\[ \frac{1}{2} v^2 = 2gL \]
\[ v^2 = 4gL \implies v = 2\sqrt{gL} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The imparted velocity must be \( 2\sqrt{gL} \).
Quick Tip: String case: min velocity \( = \sqrt{5gL} \).
Rod case: min velocity \( = \sqrt{4gL} = 2\sqrt{gL} \).
This is because a rod doesn't slack.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find the altitude where gravity reduces to one-third of its surface value.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ g_h = g \left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)^2 \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given \( g_h = g/3 \).
\[ \frac{g}{3} = g \left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)^2 \]
\[ \frac{1}{3} = \left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)^2 \]

Taking the square root:
\[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{R}{R+h} \]
\[ R + h = R\sqrt{3} \]
\[ h = R\sqrt{3} - R \]
\[ h = R(\sqrt{3} - 1) \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The height is \( h = R(\sqrt{3} - 1) \).
Quick Tip: General formula for height: \( h = R(\sqrt{g/g_h} - 1) \).
Just plug in the factor. If \( g/g_h = 3 \), factor is \( \sqrt{3} \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need the magnetic field at the center of a circular segment. Straight sections pointing towards the center contribute zero field.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Biot-Savart Law for an arc: \( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} \theta \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. For a full circle, \( \theta = 2\pi \), so \( B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2r} \).

2. For a semi-circle, \( \theta = \pi \).
\[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r} (\pi) \]
\[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{4r} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The magnetic field is \( \frac{\mu_0 I}{4r} \).
Quick Tip: Semi-circle field is exactly HALF of a full circle.
Full circle \( = \mu_0 I / 2r \). Half \( = \mu_0 I / 4r \). Quarter \( = \mu_0 I / 8r \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We are cutting a lens along its vertical axis (optic axis).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Lens Maker's Formula: \( \frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. For the original equiconvex lens: \( R_1 = R \), \( R_2 = -R \).
\[ \frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{-R} \right) = \frac{2(\mu - 1)}{R} \]

2. For each half (plano-convex): \( R_1 = R \), \( R_2 = \infty \).
\[ \frac{1}{f'} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{\infty} \right) = \frac{(\mu - 1)}{R} \]

3. Comparing the two results:
\[ \frac{1}{f'} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{f} \right) \implies f' = 2f \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The focal length of each half is 2f.
Quick Tip: Cut along principal axis (horizontal) \(\rightarrow\) focal length remains \( f \).
Cut along optic axis (vertical) \(\rightarrow\) focal length doubles \( 2f \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find the distance between the 5th bright fringe of one wavelength and the 5th bright fringe of another wavelength.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Position of \( n \)-th bright fringe: \( y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d} \).

Separation: \( \Delta y = |y_{5a} - y_{5b}| = \frac{5 D (\lambda_1 - \lambda_2)}{d} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( d = 3 \times 10^{-3} m \), \( D = 2 m \), \( \lambda_1 = 600 nm \), \( \lambda_2 = 480 nm \).
\( \Delta \lambda = 600 - 480 = 120 nm = 120 \times 10^{-9} m \).
\[ \Delta y = \frac{5 \times 2 \times 120 \times 10^{-9}}{3 \times 10^{-3}} \]
\[ \Delta y = \frac{10 \times 120 \times 10^{-6}}{3} \]
\[ \Delta y = 400 \times 10^{-6} m = 4 \times 10^{-4} m \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The separation is \( 4 \times 10^{-4} m \).
Quick Tip: Fringe width \( \beta \propto \lambda \).
Separation \( = 5 \times (\beta_1 - \beta_2) \).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We are given \( |\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = |\vec{A} - \vec{B}| \). We need to find the angle \( \theta \) between them.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Write the expression for magnitudes:
\[ \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta} = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta} \]

2. Squaring both sides:
\[ A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB \cos \theta \]

3. Cancel \( A^2 \) and \( B^2 \):
\[ 2AB \cos \theta = -2AB \cos \theta \]
\[ 4AB \cos \theta = 0 \]

4. Assuming vectors are non-zero:
\[ \cos \theta = 0 \implies \theta = 90^\circ \]


Step 3: Final Answer:

The angle is 90\(^{\circ}\).
Quick Tip: Geometric interpretation: If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, it must be a rectangle. Diagonals represent \( \vec{A}+\vec{B} \) and \( \vec{A}-\vec{B} \). For a rectangle, the sides (vectors) are at 90\(^\circ\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Emissive power \( E \) depends on temperature. Wavelength for max intensity (\(\lambda_m\)) also depends on temperature via Wien's Displacement Law.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Wien's Law: \( \lambda_m T = constant \implies T \propto 1/\lambda_m \).

2. Stefan's Law: \( E = \sigma T^4 \implies E \propto 1/\lambda_m^4 \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Compare wavelengths: \( \lambda_x = 200 nm \), \( \lambda_y = 300 nm \), \( \lambda_z = 400 nm \).

2. So, \( \lambda_x < \lambda_y < \lambda_z \).

3. Since \( E \propto 1/\lambda_m^4 \), smaller wavelength means much higher emissive power.

4. Therefore, \( E_x > E_y > E_z \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The relation is Ex \( > \) Ey \( > \) Ez.
Quick Tip: Note that radii are given, but "Emissive Power" (\( E \)) is usually defined as power per unit area, so the radius of the disc doesn't affect its emissive power, only the total power radiated.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Magnetism in bulk matter arises from the movement of charged particles.


Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

1. Every electron in an atom acts as a tiny magnetic dipole.

2. This dipole moment has two components:

- Orbital magnetic moment: Arising from the circular motion of electrons around the nucleus (like a current loop).

- Spin magnetic moment: An intrinsic property due to the electron's spin.

3. The resultant of these two motions determines the net magnetic property of the atom and the substance.


Step 3: Final Answer:

It is associated with both orbital and spin motion of electrons.
Quick Tip: While both contribute, in many paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances, the "Spin motion" is the dominant contributor to the net magnetic moment.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the product formed when an aldoxime (R-CH=NOH) reacts with a strong peracid like trifluoroperoxy acetic acid (CF\(_3\)COOOH).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Peroxy acids are strong oxidizing agents.

The general reaction for the oxidation of oximes to nitroalkanes is:
\[ R-CH=N-OH \xrightarrow{CF_3COOOH} R-CH_2-NO_2 \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Trifluoroperoxy acetic acid is a powerful oxidant that converts the oxime functional group into a nitro group.

Aldoximes specifically have the nitrogen double-bonded to a terminal carbon (CH).

Upon oxidation, the =N-OH group is converted into a -NO\(_2\) group.

Since the functional group is on the primary carbon atom of the alkyl chain, the product is a primary (1\(^{\circ}\)) nitroalkane.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The oxidation of aldoxime yields 1\(^{\circ}\) nitroalkanes.
Quick Tip: Oxidizing aldoximes results in primary nitro compounds, whereas oxidizing ketoximes results in secondary nitroalkanes.
Trifluoroperoxy acetic acid is often preferred for this reaction due to its high efficiency.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question identifies the specific chemical catalyst required to synthesize sodamide (NaNH\(_2\)) from metallic sodium and ammonia gas.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The preparation involves reacting metallic sodium with liquid ammonia:
\[ 2Na + 2NH_3 \xrightarrow{Catalyst} 2NaNH_2 + H_2 \uparrow \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

While sodium reacts with liquid ammonia to form a deep blue conducting solution, the conversion into sodium amide (NaNH\(_2\)) and hydrogen gas is a slow process at low temperatures.

To speed up this specific chemical transformation, transition metal salts are used.

Ferric nitrate [Fe(NO\(_3\))\(_3\)] is the standard catalyst used in the laboratory to facilitate the formation of the amide ion.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The catalyst used is Fe(NO\(_3\))\(_3\).
Quick Tip: Always distinguish between the blue "solvated electron" solution (no catalyst) and the colorless sodamide solution (catalyst used).
Sodamide is a very strong base used frequently in organic dehydrohalogenation.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The problem provides the time taken for a specific degree of completion in a first-order reaction and asks for the half-life period.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For a first-order reaction, the time required for 75% completion (\(t_{75%}\)) is twice the half-life period (\(t_{1/2}\)).
\[ t_{75%} = 2 \times t_{1/2} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

In first-order kinetics, the time taken for the concentration to reduce to a certain fraction is independent of the initial concentration.

1. In the first half-life (\(t_{1/2}\)), the concentration goes from 100% to 50%. (50% completion)

2. In the second half-life, the concentration goes from 50% to 25%. (Total 75% completion)

Thus, the total time for 75% completion is \(t_{1/2} + t_{1/2} = 2 \times t_{1/2}\).

Given: \(t_{75%} = 60 minutes\).
\[ 60 = 2 \times t_{1/2} \]
\[ t_{1/2} = 30 minutes \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The time required for 50% completion is 30 minutes.
Quick Tip: Shortcut for 1st order: \(t_{x%} = n \times t_{50%}\) where \(n\) is the number of half-lives.
For 75%, \(n = 2\).
For 87.5%, \(n = 3\).
For 93.75%, \(n = 4\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

A monodentate ligand is a molecule or ion that can donate only one pair of electrons to a central metal atom or ion to form a coordinate bond.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Identify the donor atoms and the number of sites available for coordination in each given species.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Oxalato (C\(_2\)O\(_4\)\(^{2-}\)): It has two oxygen atoms that can donate electron pairs simultaneously. It is a bidentate ligand.

2. Water (H\(_2\)O): Oxygen has two lone pairs, but due to its geometry and size, it coordinates through only one oxygen atom at a single site. Thus, it is a monodentate ligand.

3. Ethylenediamine (NH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)NH\(_2\)): It has two nitrogen donor atoms. It is a bidentate ligand.

4. Dimethylglyoximato (dmg): It is a well-known bidentate ligand that coordinates through nitrogen atoms.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Water is the monodentate ligand among the choices.
Quick Tip: Common monodentate ligands: H\(_2\)O, NH\(_3\), Cl\(^-\), CN\(^-\).
Common bidentate ligands: en, ox, gly.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the standard bond length of a single carbon-carbon bond in a saturated hydrocarbon (alkane).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Recall standard bond lengths for different hybridization states of carbon:

- sp\(^3\)-sp\(^3\) (Single bond): 154 pm

- sp\(^2\)-sp\(^2\) (Double bond): 134 pm

- sp-sp (Triple bond): 120 pm


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

In an alkane, all carbon atoms are connected by single sigma bonds and are sp\(^3\) hybridized.

The overlap of sp\(^3\) orbitals results in a relatively long bond compared to multiple bonds.

The experimentally determined value for this bond distance is approximately 1.54 \(\AA\), which is equal to 154 pm.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The bond length of C-C in an alkane is 154 pm.
Quick Tip: Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order.
C-C (154 pm) \(>\) C=C (134 pm) \(>\) C\(\equiv\)C (120 pm).
Shorter bonds are generally stronger.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The task is to identify the reducing agent that can remove the hydroxyl (-OH) group from phenol to yield the parent hydrocarbon, benzene.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The reduction of phenol involves heating with a metal powder:
\[ C_6H_5OH + Zn \xrightarrow{\Delta} C_6H_6 + ZnO \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

When phenol vapors are passed over heated Zinc dust, a reduction reaction takes place.

The zinc metal acts as a reducing agent and reacts with the oxygen of the phenol to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO).

The remaining phenyl group combines with the hydrogen atom to form a benzene ring.

This is a standard laboratory method for the deoxygenation of phenols.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Zinc dust is the correct reagent.
Quick Tip: Zinc dust distillation is a specific reaction for phenols.
It is one of the few ways to convert an aromatic alcohol directly back to a simple aromatic hydrocarbon.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Dacron (also known as Terylene) is a polyester. The question asks for the specific catalyst system used in its industrial production from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Dacron is formed via a condensation polymerization reaction.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

The polymerization of ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate (or terephthalic acid) to produce Dacron is carried out at high temperatures (425–475 K).

To ensure the reaction proceeds efficiently and to control the molecular weight, a specific catalyst mixture is employed.

The industrially accepted catalyst for this process is a mixture of zinc acetate and antimony trioxide.

Note: Option (B) is the Ziegler-Natta catalyst used for addition polymers like polythene.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The catalyst used is zinc acetate and antimony trioxide.
Quick Tip: Memorize these polymer-catalyst pairs:
Dacron \(\rightarrow\) Antimony trioxide/Zinc acetate.
Polythene \(\rightarrow\) Ziegler-Natta.
Buna-S \(\rightarrow\) Sodium (Na).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question provides evidence that a chemical compound has a constant percentage composition regardless of whether it is made in a lab or found in nature.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Analyze the definition of the laws of chemical combination.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

The Law of Definite Proportions (also known as Proust's Law) states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in a fixed ratio by mass.

In this case, Copper Carbonate (\(CuCO_3\)) from two different sources (synthetic and natural) shows identical percentages of Cu, C, and O.

Since the weight percentages are constant and independent of the source or method of preparation, it perfectly illustrates the Law of Definite Proportion.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The correct law is the Law of definite proportion.
Quick Tip: Keywords to look for: "Same percentage," "Fixed ratio by mass," "Regardless of source."
These always point towards the Law of Definite Proportions.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to identify a naturally occurring polymer that is composed of monosaccharide (sugar) units.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Classify the given substances based on their building blocks (monomers).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Glycogen: It is a polysaccharide that serves as energy storage in animals. It is a polymer made up of glucose units (monosaccharides). Hence, it is a biopolymer of monosaccharides.

2. Neoprene: It is a synthetic rubber (polychloroprene). It is not natural.

3. Silk: It is a natural biopolymer, but it is a protein made of amino acid units, not monosaccharides.

4. Isoprene: This is the monomer of natural rubber, not a polymer itself.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Glycogen is a natural biopolymer of monosaccharides.
Quick Tip: Polysaccharides (Starch, Cellulose, Glycogen) are polymers of sugars.
Proteins (Silk, Wool) are polymers of amino acids.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks to find the degree of dissociation (\(\alpha\)) given the van't Hoff factor (\(i\)) for a specific weak acid.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For a substance that dissociates:
\[ i = 1 + (n - 1)\alpha \]

where \(n\) is the number of ions produced per molecule of solute.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Monofluoroacetic acid (\(CH_2FCOOH\)) is a monobasic acid. It dissociates as:
\[ CH_2FCOOH \rightleftharpoons CH_2FCOO^- + H^+ \]

Here, one molecule gives 2 ions (\(n = 2\)).

Given: \(i = 1.076\).

Substitute in the formula:
\[ 1.076 = 1 + (2 - 1)\alpha \]
\[ 1.076 = 1 + \alpha \]
\[ \alpha = 1.076 - 1 = 0.076 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The degree of dissociation is 0.076.
Quick Tip: For any 1:1 electrolyte (gives 2 ions), the relation is always \( \alpha = i - 1 \).
This covers most common weak acids and bases in exams.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the correct molecular formula for the specific oxoacid of phosphorus named pyrophosphoric acid.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

"Pyro" acids are formed by the removal of one molecule of water from two molecules of the corresponding "ortho" acid.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Orthophosphoric acid is \(H_3PO_4\).

Reaction: \[ 2H_3PO_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} H_4P_2O_7 + H_2O \]

By taking two molecules of \(H_3PO_4\), we have a total of 6 Hydrogens, 2 Phosphorus, and 8 Oxygens. Removing one \(H_2O\) leaves 4 Hydrogens, 2 Phosphorus, and 7 Oxygens.

This results in \(H_4P_2O_7\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The molecular formula is H\(_4\)P\(_2\)O\(_7\).
Quick Tip: Remember:
\(H_3PO_4\) = Ortho
\(H_4P_2O_7\) = Pyro
\(HPO_3\) = Meta

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to determine the total number of methyl (\(-CH_3\)) groups in the chemical structure of BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Recall the IUPAC name and structure of BHT.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

BHT is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol.

Let's count the methyl groups:

1. At position 4, there is one methyl group directly attached to the benzene ring. (Count = 1)

2. At positions 2 and 6, there are two tert-butyl groups.

3. One tert-butyl group is \(-C(CH_3)_3\), which contains 3 methyl groups.

4. Two tert-butyl groups together contain \(2 \times 3 = 6\) methyl groups.

5. Total methyl groups = 1 (from para position) + 6 (from ortho tert-butyl groups) = 7.


Step 4: Final Answer:

There are 7 methyl groups in BHT.
Quick Tip: Tert-butyl groups are common in antioxidants. Always remember that one tert-butyl substituent contributes 3 methyl groups to the total count.

Quick Tip: Clemmensen = Acidic medium (\(HCl\)).
Wolff-Kishner = Basic medium (\(KOH\)).
Both do the exact same conversion: >C=O \(\rightarrow\) >CH\(_2\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Compare the boiling points of isomeric alkyl halides based on their molecular structure.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Boiling point \(\propto\) Surface area.

Branching \(\uparrow\) \(\implies\) Surface area \(\downarrow\) \(\implies\) Boiling point \(\downarrow\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

The given options are isomers of \(C_4H_9Br\).

- n-butyl bromide is a straight-chain isomer. It has the maximum surface area.

- isobutyl and sec-butyl have one branch each.

- tert-butyl bromide is highly branched and more spherical, giving it the minimum surface area.

Stronger Van der Waals forces exist in molecules with larger surface areas. Therefore, the straight-chain n-butyl bromide has the highest boiling point.


Step 4: Final Answer:

n-butyl bromide has the highest boiling point.
Quick Tip: For any set of isomers, the straight-chain (normal) isomer will always have the highest boiling point because it provides the most surface for intermolecular attractions.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the molecularity based on the chemical equation and the order based on the given rate law.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

1. Molecularity = Sum of coefficients of reactants in the elementary step.

2. Order = Sum of powers of concentrations in the rate law.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- Molecularity: From the balanced equation \(O_3 + O \rightarrow 2O_2\), one molecule of ozone reacts with one atom of oxygen. Total reactant species = \(1 + 1 = 2\). So, Molecularity = 2.

- Order: The rate law is given as Rate = \(K[O_3]^1 [O]^1\). Sum of powers = \(1 + 1 = 2\). So, Order = 2.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Molecularity is 2 and Order is 2.
Quick Tip: Molecularity is determined by stoichiometry.
Order is determined by the rate law.
For elementary reactions, Molecularity = Order.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Calculate the total heat evolved for a specific mass of substance, given its molar heat of combustion.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ Total Heat = number of moles \times \Delta H_{combustion} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Molecular weight of acetaldehyde (\(CH_3CHO\)):
\( (2 \times 12) + (4 \times 1) + (1 \times 16) = 24 + 4 + 16 = 44 g/mol \).

2. Number of moles in 66 g:
\[ n = \frac{Mass}{Molar mass} = \frac{66}{44} = 1.5 moles \]

3. Calculate total heat liberated:

Molar heat = 1172 kJ/mol.
\[ Q = 1.5 \times 1172 \]
\[ Q = 1758 kJ \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The amount of heat liberated is 1758 kJ.
Quick Tip: Heat "liberated" is the magnitude of \(\Delta H\).
Check if the mass (66) is 1.5 times the molar mass (44) for quick mental calculation.

Identify the gaseous mixture used in the "Oxo Process" (Hydroformylation) to convert alkenes into aldehydes.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The reaction is:
\[ Alkene + CO + H_2 \xrightarrow{Catalyst} Aldehyde \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Hydroformylation is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes from alkenes.

The reaction involves the addition of a formyl group (\(-CHO\)) and a hydrogen atom to the carbon-carbon double bond.

The reactants required are Carbon monoxide (\(CO\)) and Hydrogen (\(H_2\)).

This mixture is commonly called synthesis gas (syngas).


Step 4: Final Answer:

H\(_2\) and CO are used to convert olefins into aldehyde.
Quick Tip: Hydroformylation always adds 1 extra carbon atom to the chain.
It is the standard method for making propanal from ethene.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Step 4: Final Answer:

CO\(_2\) has zero dipole moment.
Quick Tip: Highly symmetric molecules like \(CO_2\), \(CH_4\), \(BF_3\), and \(CCl_4\) have zero dipole moment even if their individual bonds are polar.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Determine the final product of the reaction between a nitrile and a Grignard reagent after hydrolysis.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ R-CN + R'MgX \rightarrow R-C(=NMgX)-R' \xrightarrow{H_2O/H^+} R-CO-R' \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. First Step: Benzonitrile (\(C_6H_5CN\)) reacts with Phenylmagnesium bromide (\(C_6H_5MgBr\)). The phenyl group attacks the nitrile carbon.

Intermediate (A) is an imine salt: \( (C_6H_5)_2C=NMgBr \).

2. Second Step: Acid hydrolysis (\(H_3O^+\)) converts the imine group into a ketone group (>C=O).

Product (B) is \(C_6H_5-CO-C_6H_5\), which is Diphenyl ketone.

The common name for Diphenyl ketone is Benzophenone.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Product B is Benzophenone.
Quick Tip: Grignard reagent + Nitrile \(\rightarrow\) Ketone.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Functional isomers have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Identify the molecular formula of pentan-2-ol and check which option has the same formula but a different group.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Pentan-2-ol formula: \(C_5H_{12}O\) (Saturated alcohol).

- Pentan-1-ol / Pentan-3-ol: These are position isomers (Alcohol group moved).

- Pentan-2-one: Formula is \(C_5H_{10}O\). Not an isomer.

- Ethoxypropane: It is an ether (\(CH_3CH_2-O-CH_2CH_2CH_3\)). Formula: \(C_5H_{12}O\).

Alcohols and ethers with the same number of carbons are functional isomers.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Ethoxypropane is the functional isomer.
Quick Tip: Functional isomerism pairs:
1. Alcohol \(\leftrightarrow\) Ether.
2. Aldehyde \(\leftrightarrow\) Ketone.
3. Acid \(\leftrightarrow\) Ester.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Amorphous solids lack a long-range ordered internal structure. We need to identify a crystalline solid among the choices.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Classify solids as amorphous (pseudo-solids) or crystalline (true solids).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Rubber: Polymer with a disordered structure. Amorphous.

2. Butter: Soft solid with no definite geometric shape. Amorphous.

3. Tar: Highly viscous liquid/solid with disordered molecules. Amorphous.

4. Camphor: It is a crystalline molecular solid with a sharp melting point and a definite internal geometric arrangement of molecules. Therefore, it is NOT an amorphous solid.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Camphor is not an amorphous solid.
Quick Tip: Common Amorphous Solids: Glass, Plastic, Rubber, Tar, Pitch, Butter.
Most inorganic salts and organic compounds like naphthalene or camphor are crystalline.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Assuming the temperature remains constant (25\(^{\circ}\)C), we need to find the final volume using Boyle's Law and then calculate the increase (rise) in volume.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Boyle's Law: \[ P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \]
\(Rise in volume = V_2 - V_1\)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Initial Pressure (\(P_1\)) = 1 bar.

Initial Volume (\(V_1\)) = 2.27 L.

Final Pressure (\(P_2\)) = 0.227 bar.
\[ 1 \times 2.27 = 0.227 \times V_2 \]
\[ V_2 = \frac{2.27{0.227} = 10 L \]

The question asks for the rise in volume:
\[ \Delta V = 10 L - 2.27 L = 7.73 L \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The rise in volume is 7.73 L.
Quick Tip: Read carefully! If the question asks for the "Final Volume," the answer would be 10 L.
Since it asks for the "Rise in volume," you must subtract the initial volume.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Find the element with the given valence electronic configuration.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Total Atomic Number (Z) = electrons in [Noble Gas] + outer electrons.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- Argon ([Ar]) has an atomic number of 18.

- The configuration adds \(3d^{10}\) (10 electrons) and \(4s^2\) (2 electrons).

- Total electrons = \(18 + 10 + 2 = 30\).

- The element with atomic number 30 is Zinc (Zn).

- (Co is 27, Cd is 48, Hg is 80).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The element is Zinc (Zn).
Quick Tip: 3d series: Sc (21) to Zn (30).
4d series: Y (39) to Cd (48).
5d series: La (57), Hf (72) to Hg (80).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the functional group that does not withdraw electrons from a pi-system via resonance.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\(-R\) groups pull electrons away. \(+R\) groups push electrons in.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. -CHO, -COOH, -CN: These groups have multiple bonds between a carbon and a more electronegative atom (O or N). They pull electrons from the benzene ring or conjugated system. They are \(-R\) (electron-withdrawing) groups.

2. -OH: The oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group has lone pairs of electrons. It can donate these electrons to the conjugated system through resonance. Therefore, it shows a \(+R\) (electron-donating) effect, not a \(-R\) effect.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The -OH group does not show \(-R\) effect.
Quick Tip: If the atom attached to the ring has a lone pair, it's usually \(+R\).
If it has a double or triple bond to a more electronegative atom, it's usually \(-R\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Count the number of donor groups directly coordinated to the central metal atom.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Total ligands = number of molecules/ions inside the square brackets (coordination sphere).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

In the complex [CoCl\(_2\)(NH\(_3\))\(_4\)]Cl:

1. The species inside [ ] are ligands.

2. There are 2 Chloride ions (\(Cl^-\)).

3. There are 4 Ammonia molecules (\(NH_3\)).

4. Total ligands = \(2 + 4 = 6\).

The chloride ion outside the bracket is the counter-ion and not a ligand.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The total number of ligands is 6.
Quick Tip: The coordination number is equal to the total number of donor atoms from the ligands. Since Cl\(^-\) and NH\(_3\) are monodentate, coordination number = number of ligands = 6.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question describes a redox reaction used as a test for sulfur dioxide gas.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Analyze the color change associated with the reduction of Chromium(VI).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- Potassium dichromate (\(K_2Cr_2O_7\)) is an oxidizing agent. In acidic solution, it is orange due to the \(Cr_2O_7^{2-}\) ion.

- \(SO_2\) is a reducing agent. It reduces Orange \(Cr^{+6}\) to Green \(Cr^{+3}\).

Reaction: \[ K_2Cr_2O_7 + H_2SO_4 + 3SO_2 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 + H_2O \]

The formation of chromic sulfate \(Cr_2(SO_4)_3\) makes the solution green.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The solution turns green.
Quick Tip: Dichromate Paper Test: Orange \(\rightarrow\) Green is the signature test for \(SO_2\) gas.

2. Nylon-6: Primarily a fiber with strong hydrogen bonding.

3. Polystyrene: A linear polymer that can be melted and remolded. It is a classic thermoplastic.

4. Neoprene: Elastomer (synthetic rubber).


Step 4: Final Answer:

Polystyrene is the thermoplastic polymer.
Quick Tip: Think of "Thermoplastics" like wax (can be melted multiple times) and "Thermosetting" like a hard-boiled egg (cannot go back to liquid state).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Find the specific conductivity (\(\kappa\)) given the molar conductivity (\(\Lambda_m\)) and molarity (C).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \Lambda_m = \frac{1000 \times \kappa}{C} (when \(\kappa\) is in \Omega^{-1} cm^{-1}) \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Rearranging for conductivity: \[ \kappa = \frac{\Lambda_m \times C}{1000} \]

Given:
\(\Lambda_m = 400.0\)
\(C = 0.01 M\)
\[ \kappa = \frac{400 \times 0.01}{1000} \]
\[ \kappa = \frac{4}{1000} \]
\[ \kappa = 4 \times 10^{-3} \(\Omega^{-1 cm^{-1}\)} \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The conductivity is 4.0 \(\times\) 10\(^{-3}\) \(\Omega^{-1} cm^{-1}\).
Quick Tip: Keep an eye on the 1000 factor. It converts liters to cubic centimeters.
Consistency in units (cm vs m) is the main hurdle here.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The problem is based on the relative lowering of vapour pressure, which is a colligative property.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \frac{P^0 - P_s}{P^0} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} \approx \frac{n_2}{n_1} (for dilute solutions) \]
\[ \frac{P^0 - P_s}{P^0} = \frac{w_2 \times M_1}{M_2 \times w_1} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given:
\(P^0 = 450 mmHg\), \(P_s = 400 mmHg\).
\(w_2 = 1.5 g\) (solute), \(w_1 = 30 g\) (solvent - Benzene).
\(M_1\) (Benzene \(C_6H_6\)) = \(6 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 = 78 g/mol\).
\[ \frac{450 - 400}{450} = \frac{1.5 \times 78}{M_2 \times 30} \]
\[ \frac{50}{450} = \frac{117}{30 M_2} \]
\[ \frac{1}{9} = \frac{3.9}{M_2} \]
\[ M_2 = 3.9 \times 9 = 35.1 g/mol \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The molar mass is 35.1 g mol\(^{-1}\).
Quick Tip: For more precision, or if the solution isn't very dilute, use the formula:
\[ \frac{P^0 - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \].
It often simplifies the arithmetic in competitive exams.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the specific reagent used in the "Mendius reaction," a named reaction for the reduction of nitriles.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Nitrile (\(RCN\)) \(\xrightarrow{reducing agent}\) Amine (\(RCH_2NH_2\)).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

The reduction of alkyl cyanides (nitriles) to primary amines is called the Mendius reduction when sodium in ethanol (\(Na / C_2H_5OH\)) is used as the reducing agent.

The active reducing species is nascent hydrogen produced by the reaction of Na with ethanol.
\[ R-C \equiv N + 4[H] \xrightarrow{Na / C_2H_5OH} R-CH_2-NH_2 \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The reagent is Na/C\(_2\)H\(_5\)OH.
Quick Tip: Mendius = Sodium + Ethanol.
Stephen = \(SnCl_2 + HCl\) (Gives Aldehyde).
Knowing specific reagents for named reactions is crucial.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the specific chemical reduction occurring at the positive terminal (cathode) during the use (discharging) of a lead-acid battery.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Reduction occurs at the cathode during discharge.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

During discharge:

- At Anode: Lead metal (\(Pb\)) is oxidized to \(Pb^{2+}\).

- At Cathode: Lead dioxide (\(PbO_2\)) is reduced. The oxidation state of Lead changes from \(+4\) (in \(PbO_2\)) to \(+2\) (in \(PbSO_4\)).

The cathode reaction is:
\[ PbO_2(s) + 4H^+(aq) + SO_4^{2-}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow PbSO_4(s) + 2H_2O(l) \]

Thus, \(PbO_2\) is reduced to \(Pb^{2+}\) ions.


Step 4: Final Answer:

PbO\(_{2(s)}\) is reduced to Pb\(^{2+}_{(aq.)}\).
Quick Tip: Remember: Discharge \(\rightarrow\) Anode is Pb, Cathode is PbO\(_2\).
In both electrodes, the final product is the same: insoluble PbSO\(_4\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Count the total number of optical isomers (stereoisomers) for the given molecule.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For an unsymmetrical molecule with \(n\) chiral centers:
\[ Isomers = 2^n \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Structure: \( CH_3 - CH(OH) - CH(Cl) - CH(Cl) - CH_3 \)

Identify chiral centers:

- Carbon 2: Attached to -H, -OH, -CH\(_3\), and -CH(Cl)CH(Cl)CH\(_3\). (Chiral)

- Carbon 3: Attached to -H, -Cl, -CH(OH)CH\(_3\), and -CH(Cl)CH\(_3\). (Chiral)

- Carbon 4: Attached to -H, -Cl, -CH\(_3\), and -CH(Cl)CH(OH)CH\(_3\). (Chiral)

There are \(n = 3\) chiral centers.

The molecule is unsymmetrical (ends are \(CH_3-CH(OH)\dots\) and \(CH_3-CH(Cl)\dots\)).

Number of isomers = \(2^3 = 8\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The number of optical isomers is Eight.
Quick Tip: Always check for symmetry. If the molecule were symmetric (ends identical), some isomers would be meso compounds, reducing the total count.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the algebraic rearrangement of the boiling point elevation equation to solve for \(K_b\).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \Delta T_b = K_b \times m \]

where \(m = \frac{n_{solute}}{w_{solvent(kg)}} = \frac{W_2 / M_2}{W_1 / 1000} \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Substitute molality into the equation:
\[ \Delta T_b = K_b \times \frac{W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1} \]

Rearranging for \(K_b\):
\[ K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b \times M_2 \times W_1}{1000 \times W_2} \]

Looking at the options, option (D) follows this structure (ignoring the 1000 constant if \(W_1\) is in kg).
\( K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b \times M_2 \times W_1}{W_2} \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

Option (D) is the correct rearranged formula.
Quick Tip: Dimensional analysis: \(K_b\) has units of \(K \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1}\).
Check which formula leads to these units.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Analyze the thermodynamics of a process occurring at constant volume (isochoric).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

First Law of Thermodynamics: \( \Delta u = q + w \)

Work for expansion: \( w = -P \Delta V \)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Constant Volume: This means \(\Delta V = 0\).

2. Work: Since \(w = -P \Delta V\) and \(\Delta V = 0\), the work done is zero (\(w = 0\)).

3. Heat: The problem states 500 J of heat is supplied to the gas. By convention, heat absorbed by the system is positive. So, \(q = 500 J\).

4. Consequently, \(\Delta u = q = 500 J\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The correct pair is \(q = 500 J\) and \(w = 0\).
Quick Tip: Supplied = \(+\)q.
Released = \(-\)q.
Constant Volume = \(w = 0\).
Constant Pressure = \(q = \Delta H\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Calculate the total mass of a single unit cell for a BCC arrangement.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Mass of unit cell = \(Z \times mass of one atom\)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- For a BCC (Body-Centered Cubic) lattice, the number of atoms per unit cell (\(Z\)) is 2.

- Given mass of one sodium atom = \(3.819 \times 10^{-23} g\).

- Total mass = \(2 \times (3.819 \times 10^{-23})\).

- Total mass = \(7.638 \times 10^{-23} g\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The mass is 7.638 \(\times\) 10\(^{-23}\) g.
Quick Tip: Atoms per unit cell (Z):
Simple Cubic: 1
BCC: 2
FCC: 4

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the general mathematical formula for the maximum number of optical isomers.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Vant Hoff's Rule for stereoisomers.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Each asymmetric carbon can exist in two configurations (R or S).

For a molecule with \(n\) such centers, if there is no internal plane of symmetry (unsymmetrical molecule), the total number of permutations is \(2 \times 2 \times \dots \times 2\) (\(n\) times).

This equals \(2^n\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The formula is 2\(^n\).
Quick Tip: Remember: \(2^n\) is the maximum. If the molecule is symmetric, the actual number of isomers is less due to meso forms.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Compare the oxidation state (O.S.) of carbon in different species to find the maximum.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Sum of O.S. = Total Charge.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. CO\(_3\)\(^{2-}\): \(x + 3(-2) = -2 \implies x = +4\).

2. CaC\(_2\): \(+2 + 2x = 0 \implies x = -1\).

3. CO: \(x + (-2) = 0 \implies x = +2\).

4. C\(_2\)O\(_4\)\(^{2-}\): \(2x + 4(-2) = -2 \implies 2x = 6 \implies x = +3\).

The highest value is +4.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Carbon has the highest oxidation state in the carbonate ion.
Quick Tip: Carbon's maximum possible oxidation state is +4 (Group 14). This is found in \(CO_2\) and \(CO_3^{2-}\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\( Ar-CH_3 \xrightarrow{CrO_3 / Ac_2O} Ar-CH(OAc)_2 \xrightarrow{H_3O^+} Ar-CHO \).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- Step 1: Oxidation of 4-nitrotoluene with chromic anhydride in acetic anhydride yields 4-nitrobenzylidene diacetate (intermediate X). This protects the carbon from over-oxidation.

- Step 2: Hydrolysis of the diacetate intermediate with acid yields 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (Product Y).

The presence of the nitro group does not interfere with this oxidation.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Product Y is 4-nitrobenzaldehyde.
Quick Tip: This is a standard method to stop at the aldehyde stage. Using KMnO\(_4\) would oxidize the group all the way to a carboxylic acid (-COOH).

Among these, Promethium (Pm) with atomic number 61 is the only element that is entirely radioactive and does not occur naturally in stable forms.

All other listed elements (Lu, Nd, Eu) have stable isotopes.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Promethium (Pm) is radioactive.
Quick Tip: A common way to remember this: Promethium is the only radioactive "Rare Earth Element" (Lanthanoid).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Calculate the work done during an isothermal reversible expansion using thermodynamic formulas.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Work done in isothermal reversible process:
\[ W = -2.303 \times nRT \log \left( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \right) \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Given: \( n = 2 \), \( R = 8.314 \), \( T = 300 \), \( V_1 = 5 \), \( V_2 = 10 \).
\[ W = -2.303 \times 2 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times \log \left( \frac{10}{5} \right) \]
\[ W = -2.303 \times 600 \times 8.314 \times \log(2) \]

Using \(\log 2 = 0.3010\):
\[ W = -2.303 \times 600 \times 8.314 \times 0.3010 \]
\[ W \approx -3457.9 J \]

To convert to kJ:
\[ W \approx -3.458 kJ \]


Step 4: Final Answer:

The work done is \(-3.458 kJ\).
Quick Tip: In expansion, the work done by the system is negative according to the IUPAC convention.
Always check the sign in the options before calculating.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the named reaction involving the substitution of nitrogen from a diazonium group using copper(I) halides.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\( Ar-N_2^+Cl^- \xrightarrow{CuCl / HCl} Ar-Cl + N_2 \)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Sandmeyer Reaction: Uses Copper (I) salts (\(CuCl, CuBr, CuCN\)) to replace the diazonium group with Cl, Br, or CN.

2. Gattermann Reaction: Is a modification using Copper powder and the corresponding halogen acid.

3. Balz-Schiemann: Uses \(HBF_4\) for fluorination.

The use of the "salt" specifically points to the Sandmeyer reaction.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The reaction is the Sandmeyer reaction.
Quick Tip: Sandmeyer = Copper(I) salt.
Gattermann = Copper powder.
Both yield aryl halides.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Identify the non-reducing sugar among the options. Non-reducing sugars do not have a free aldehyde or ketone group (as hemiacetal/hemiketal).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Reducing sugars give positive Tollen's test. Non-reducing sugars give negative test.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

- Ribose: It is a monosaccharide. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars.

- Lactose / Maltose: These are disaccharides that have a free hemiacetal group. They are reducing sugars.

- Sucrose: In sucrose, the glycosidic linkage involves the anomeric carbon atoms of both glucose (C1) and fructose (C2). Since the reducing groups are locked in the bond, it is a non-reducing sugar and does not react with Tollen's reagent.


Step 4: Final Answer:

Sucrose does not reduce Tollen's reagent.
Quick Tip: Sucrose is the most common example of a non-reducing sugar used in exams.
Hydrolysis of sucrose gives a mixture (invert sugar) which \textbf{is} reducing.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The experiment involves a die thrown multiple times, which follows a Binomial Distribution where we need to find the variance.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For a Binomial Distribution \(B(n, p)\):

Variance (\(\sigma^2\)) = \(n \cdot p \cdot q\)

where \(n\) is the number of trials, \(p\) is the probability of success, and \(q = 1 - p\) is the probability of failure.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given \(n = 100\).

2. Success is getting an even number. Even numbers on a die are \(\{2, 4, 6\}\).

3. \(p = P(Even number) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\).

4. \(q = 1 - p = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\).

5. Variance (\(\sigma^2\)) = \(100 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}\).

6. \(\sigma^2 = \frac{100}{4} = 25\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The variance of the number of successes is 25.
Quick Tip: In Binomial distribution, the maximum variance occurs when \(p = q = 0.5\).
Always identify \(n\), \(p\), and \(q\) before substituting into the variance formula.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the third direction angle (\(\gamma\)) of a line given the angles it makes with the X and Y axes.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Use the identity for direction cosines:
\[ \cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given \(\alpha = \frac{\pi}{6}\) and \(\beta = \frac{\pi}{3}\).

2. \(\cos \alpha = \cos \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies \cos^2 \alpha = \frac{3}{4}\).

3. \(\cos \beta = \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \implies \cos^2 \beta = \frac{1}{4}\).

4. Substitute into the identity:
\[ \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \]
\[ 1 + \cos^2 \gamma = 1 \]
\[ \cos^2 \gamma = 0 \implies \cos \gamma = 0 \].

5. Since \(\cos \gamma = 0\), we have \(\gamma = \frac{\pi}{2}\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The angle made by the line with the Z axis is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Quick Tip: If the sum of squares of the first two direction cosines is 1, the line must be perpendicular to the third axis.
This implies the third angle is always \(90^{\circ}\) or \(\pi/2\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need to find the derivative of a composite function at a specific point. Simplifying the expression first is the best approach.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Using the identity \(\sec \theta = \sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \theta}\), we can rewrite \(y\) in terms of \(x\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. \(y = \sec(\tan^{-1} x) = \sqrt{1 + x^2}\).

2. Differentiate \(y\) with respect to \(x\):
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 + x^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1 + x^2) \]
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x}{2\sqrt{1 + x^2}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}} \].

3. Evaluate at \(x = 1\):
\[ \left[ \frac{dy}{dx} \right]_{x=1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + 1^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \].


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of the derivative is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\).
Quick Tip: Simplify inverse trigonometric compositions into algebraic forms before differentiating.
It avoids lengthy chain rule steps and reduces the chance of errors.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

For a function to be continuous at a point \(x = a\), the value \(f(a)\) must equal the limit of the function as \(x \to a\).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Use the standard limit:
\[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{a^x - 1}{x} = \log a \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. We need to find \(\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2^x - 1}{1 - 3^x}\).

2. Divide numerator and denominator by \(x\):
\[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{2^x - 1}{x}}{\frac{1 - 3^x}{x}} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{2^x - 1}{x}}{-\left(\frac{3^x - 1}{x}\right)} \]

3. Applying the standard limit formula:
\[ f(0) = \frac{\log 2}{-\log 3} = \frac{-(\log 2)}{(\log 3)} \].


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of \(f(0)\) is \(\frac{-(\log 2)}{(\log 3)}\).
Quick Tip: Alternatively, use L'Hospital's Rule since the limit is of the form \(0/0\).
Derivative of \(2^x - 1\) is \(2^x \log 2\).
Derivative of \(1 - 3^x\) is \(-3^x \log 3\).
At \(x = 0\), the result is \(\log 2 / (-\log 3)\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Order is the highest derivative present. Degree is the power of the highest derivative after removing radicals.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Rearrange the equation to eliminate the square root by squaring both sides.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given: \(y - px = \sqrt{a^2 p^2 + b^2}\) where \(p = \frac{dy}{dx}\).

2. Squaring both sides:
\[ (y - px)^2 = a^2 p^2 + b^2 \]
\[ y^2 - 2ypx + p^2 x^2 = a^2 p^2 + b^2 \]

3. The highest order derivative is \(p = \frac{dy}{dx}\), so Order = 1.

4. The highest power of \(p\) in the polynomial form is 2, so Degree = 2.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The order and degree are 1 and 2 respectively.
Quick Tip: Degree is only defined when the differential equation is a polynomial in its derivatives.
Always isolate terms with radicals before squaring to correctly identify the degree.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need the equations of a line in parametric form given two points \(A(x_1, y_1, z_1)\) and \(B(x_2, y_2, z_2)\).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The parametric equation is:
\(x = x_1 + (x_2 - x_1)\lambda\)
\(y = y_1 + (y_2 - y_1)\lambda\)
\(z = z_1 + (z_2 - z_1)\lambda\)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Let \(A = (3, 4, -7)\) and \(B = (1, -1, 6)\).

2. Direction Ratios (DRs) \(= (x_2-x_1, y_2-y_1, z_2-z_1)\):
\(a = 1 - 3 = -2\)
\(b = -1 - 4 = -5\)
\(c = 6 - (-7) = 13\)

3. Using point A and the DRs:
\(x = 3 - 2\lambda\)
\(y = 4 - 5\lambda\)
\(z = -7 + 13\lambda\)


Step 4: Final Answer:

The parametric equations are \(x = 3 - 2\lambda, y = 4 - 5\lambda, z = -7 + 13\lambda\).
Quick Tip: Check the options by plugging \(\lambda = 0\) (should give point A) and \(\lambda = 1\) (should give point B).
In option (C), \(\lambda = 1 \implies x = 3-2=1, y = 4-5=-1, z = -7+13=6\), which matches point B.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Simplify the trigonometric expression to find a base equation and then determine its general solution.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Use trigonometric identities:
\(1 - \cos 2x = 2 \sin^2 x\)
\(1 + \cos 2x = 2 \cos^2 x\)


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. The equation becomes:
\[ \frac{2 \sin^2 x}{2 \cos^2 x} = 3 \implies \tan^2 x = 3 \]

2. Since \(\tan \frac{\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3}\), we have:
\[ \tan^2 x = \tan^2 \frac{\pi}{3} \]

3. The general solution for \(\tan^2 \theta = \tan^2 \alpha\) is \(\theta = n\pi \pm \alpha\).

4. Therefore, \(x = n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The general solution is \(x = n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}\).
Quick Tip: Remember: \(\sin^2 \theta = \sin^2 \alpha\), \(\cos^2 \theta = \cos^2 \alpha\), and \(\tan^2 \theta = \tan^2 \alpha\) all share the same general solution: \(\theta = n\pi \pm \alpha\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The integrand contains a function (\(\log x\)) whose derivative (\(1/x\)) is also present. This suggests using the substitution method.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Let \(t = 1 + \log x \implies dt = \frac{1}{x} dx\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Change the limits of integration:

When \(x = 1, t = 1 + \log 1 = 1 + 0 = 1\).

When \(x = 2, t = 1 + \log 2\).

2. Substitute into the integral:
\[ \int_{1}^{1 + \log 2} \frac{dt}{t^2} = \left[ -\frac{1}{t} \right]_{1}^{1 + \log 2} \]
\[ = -\left( \frac{1}{1 + \log 2} - \frac{1}{1} \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + \log 2} \]

3. Simplify the expression:
\[ \frac{1 + \log 2 - 1}{1 + \log 2} = \frac{\log 2}{1 + \log 2} \].


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of the integral is \(\frac{\log 2}{1 + \log 2}\).
Quick Tip: For any integral of the form \(\int \frac{f'(x)}{[f(x)]^n} dx\), the result is \(\frac{[f(x)]^{-n+1}}{-n+1}\).
Recognizing \(1/x\) as the derivative of \(\log x\) is the most important step here.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Find the area bounded by a horizontal parabola and a straight line in the 1st quadrant. It's often easier to integrate with respect to \(y\) for horizontal parabolas.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Area \( = \int (x_R - x_L) dy \).

Find the points of intersection first.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Intersection: \(y^2 = x\) and \(x = 2 - y\).
\(y^2 = 2 - y \implies y^2 + y - 2 = 0 \implies (y+2)(y-1) = 0\).

Points are \((1, 1)\) and \((4, -2)\).

2. In the 1st quadrant, \(y\) ranges from 0 to 1.

3. Area \( = \int_{0}^{1} (x_{line} - x_{parabola}) dy \)
\[ Area = \int_{0}^{1} (2 - y - y^2) dy = \left[ 2y - \frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^3}{3} \right]_{0}^{1} \]
\[ Area = 2 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{12 - 3 - 2}{6} = \frac{7}{6} sq. units \].


Step 4: Final Answer:

The area of the region is \(\frac{7}{6}\) sq. units.
Quick Tip: If you integrate with respect to \(x\), you need to split the region at the intersection point \(x=1\).
Integrating with respect to \(y\) is usually more efficient when one boundary is \(y^2 = x\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The function \(\sin^{-1} \theta\) has a limited range. We can use the maximum value property to solve this.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The range of \(\sin^{-1} \theta\) is \([-\pi/2, \pi/2]\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. The maximum possible value for each of \(\sin^{-1} x\), \(\sin^{-1} y\), and \(\sin^{-1} z\) is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).

2. Given their sum is \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\), the only possible case is:
\[ \sin^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \sin^{-1} y = \frac{\pi}{2}, \sin^{-1} z = \frac{\pi}{2} \]

3. This implies \(x = \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1\), \(y = 1\), and \(z = 1\).

4. Therefore, \(x^{100} + y^{100} + z^{100} = 1^{100} + 1^{100} + 1^{100} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of the expression is 3.
Quick Tip: When a sum of functions equals a multiple of their maximum range boundary, consider the case where each function is at its maximum value.
This works for \(\sin^{-1} x\) (max \(\pi/2\)) and \(\cos^{-1} x\) (max \(\pi\)).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Use the sum-to-product formula to simplify the RHS of the equation.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Sum to Product formula:
\[ \sin C + \sin D = 2 \sin \left( \frac{C+D}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{C-D}{2} \right) \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Let \(C = 45^{\circ}\) and \(D = 15^{\circ}\).
\[ \sin 45^{\circ} + \sin 15^{\circ} = 2 \sin \left( \frac{45+15}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{45-15}{2} \right) \]
\[ = 2 \sin 30^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ} \]

2. Since \(\sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2}\):
\[ = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \cos 15^{\circ} = \cos 15^{\circ} \].

3. Using the identity \(\cos A = \sin(90^{\circ} - A)\):
\[ \sin \theta = \sin(90^{\circ} - 15^{\circ}) = \sin 75^{\circ} \].

4. Thus, \(\theta = 75^{\circ}\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of \(\theta\) is \(75^{\circ}\).
Quick Tip: For competitive exams, always try to express sums as products when solving trigonometric equations.
Knowing that \(\cos 15^{\circ}\) is the same as \(\sin 75^{\circ}\) saves significant calculation time.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We use the concept of differentials to approximate the value of a function near a known point.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Linear approximation formula:
\[ f(a + h) \approx f(a) + h \cdot f'(a) \]

where \(a = 3\) and \(h = 0.02\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Find \(f(a)\):
\(f(3) = 3(3^2) + 5(3) + 3 = 27 + 15 + 3 = 45\).

2. Find \(f'(x)\):
\(f'(x) = 6x + 5\).

3. Find \(f'(a)\):
\(f'(3) = 6(3) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23\).

4. Apply the approximation:
\(f(3.02) \approx f(3) + (0.02)(23)\)
\(f(3.02) \approx 45 + 0.46 = 45.46\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The approximate value is 45.46.
Quick Tip: When \(h\) is small, the linear approximation is highly accurate.
This method is always faster than calculating \((3.02)^2\) directly.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Slope of a curve is given by \(\frac{dy}{dx}\). We need to solve the differential equation and find the constant using the given point.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Separation of variables:
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2xy \implies \frac{1}{y} dy = 2x dx \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Integrate both sides:
\[ \int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int 2x dx \]
\[ \log y = x^2 + C \].

2. Pass through point (0, 1):

Substitute \(x = 0\) and \(y = 1\).
\[ \log 1 = 0^2 + C \implies 0 = 0 + C \implies C = 0 \].

3. Final equation:
\(\log y = x^2\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The equation of the curve is \(\log y = x^2\).
Quick Tip: Alternatively, check options by differentiating.
For (A): \( \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = 2xy \). Matches perfectly!

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This is a growth problem where the rate is proportional to the current population (\(\frac{dN}{dt} = kN\)).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For exponential growth, the time taken for a population to become \(2^n\) times its initial size is \(n \times T_{doubling}\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Given: Doubling time (\(T_{doubling}\)) = 50 years.

2. We want to find the time for the population to become 4 times.

3. Since \(4 = 2^2\), this requires two doubling periods.

4. Time \( = 2 \times 50 = 100\) years.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The time taken is 100 years.
Quick Tip: Exponential growth follows a constant geometric progression over equal intervals of time.
If 1 \(\to\) 2 takes 50 years, then 2 \(\to\) 4 takes another 50 years. Total = 100 years.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Find the general term \(T_r\) of the series and sum it from \(r=1\) to \(10\).


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

General term of the series: \(T_r = r \cdot (2r + 1)^2\).

Summation formulas: \(\sum r\), \(\sum r^2\), \(\sum r^3\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. \(T_r = r(4r^2 + 4r + 1) = 4r^3 + 4r^2 + r\).

2. \(S_{10} = \sum_{r=1}^{10} (4r^3 + 4r^2 + r) = 4\sum r^3 + 4\sum r^2 + \sum r\).

3. \(\sum_{1}^{10} r = \frac{10 \times 11}{2} = 55\).

4. \(\sum_{1}^{10} r^2 = \frac{10 \times 11 \times 21}{6} = 385\).

5. \(\sum_{1}^{10} r^3 = (55)^2 = 3025\).

6. \(S_{10} = 4(3025) + 4(385) + 55\).

7. \(S_{10} = 12100 + 1540 + 55 = 13695\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The sum is 13,695.
Quick Tip: Memorize the sum of first 10 integers (55), squares (385), and cubes (3025).
They appear very frequently in sequence and series questions.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Expand the dot product using the property of scalar triple products.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Scalar Triple Product: \(\vec{u} \cdot (\vec{v} \times \vec{w}) = [\vec{u} \vec{v} \vec{w}]\).

Note that \([\vec{a} \vec{a} \vec{b}] = 0\) (two vectors identical).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Expand the expression:
\( (\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}) \cdot (\vec{a} \times \vec{b} + \vec{b} \times \vec{c} + \vec{c} \times \vec{a}) \)
\( = \vec{a}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}) + \vec{a}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}) + \vec{a}\cdot(\vec{c}\times\vec{a}) \)
\( + \vec{b}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}) + \vec{b}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}) + \vec{b}\cdot(\vec{c}\times\vec{a}) \)
\( + \vec{c}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}) + \vec{c}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c}) + \vec{c}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{c}) \)

Terms involving same vectors become zero:
\( = 0 + [\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}] + 0 + 0 + 0 + [\vec{b} \vec{c} \vec{a}] + [\vec{c} \vec{a} \vec{b}] + 0 + 0 \).

Since scalar triple product is invariant under cyclic permutation:
\( = [\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}] + [\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}] + [\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}] = 3 [\vec{a} \vec{b} \vec{c}] \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of \(k\) is 3.
Quick Tip: In the expansion of such vector products, only those terms survive where all three vectors are different.
Check for cyclic order to ensure positive signs for the triple product.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Two lines intersect in 3D if the shortest distance between them is zero.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Condition for intersection of lines passing through \((x_1, y_1, z_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2, z_2)\) with direction ratios \((a_1, b_1, c_1)\) and \((a_2, b_2, c_2)\):
\[ \begin{vmatrix} x_2 - x_1 & y_2 - y_1 & z_2 - z_1
a_1 & b_1 & c_1
a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Line 1: passes through \((1, -1, 1)\) with DRs \((2, 3, 4)\).

2. Line 2: passes through \((3, k, 0)\) with DRs \((1, 2, 1)\).

3. Determinant condition:
\[ \begin{vmatrix} 3-1 & k-(-1) & 0-1
2 & 3 & 4
1 & 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \]
\[ \begin{vmatrix} 2 & k+1 & -1
2 & 3 & 4
1 & 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \]

4. Expansion:
\( 2(3-8) - (k+1)(2-4) - 1(4-3) = 0 \)
\( 2(-5) - (k+1)(-2) - 1 = 0 \)
\( -10 + 2k + 2 - 1 = 0 \)
\( 2k - 9 = 0 \implies k = 9/2 \).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value of \(k\) is \(\frac{9}{2}\).
Quick Tip: Determinant method is a direct check for intersection.
Always write the lines in standard symmetric form before extracting points and ratios.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Given \(\angle C = 90^{\circ}\). Use sine rule and angle sum property to simplify the expression.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Sine Rule: \(a = k \sin A, b = k \sin B, c = k \sin C\).

Also \(A + B = 90^{\circ}\) since \(C = 90^{\circ}\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. \(\angle C = 90^{\circ} \implies a^2 + b^2 = c^2\).

2. Denominator: \(a^2 - b^2 = k^2(\sin^2 A - \sin^2 B) = k^2 \sin(A+B)\sin(A-B)\).

3. Since \(A+B = 90^{\circ}\), \(\sin(A+B) = 1\).

4. So, \(a^2 - b^2 = k^2 \sin(A-B)\).

5. Expression becomes:
\[ \frac{c^2}{k^2 \sin(A-B)} \cdot \sin(A-B) = \frac{c^2}{k^2} \]

6. Since \(c = k \sin C\) and \(C = 90^{\circ}\), \(c = k\).

7. Result \(= 1\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The value is 1.
Quick Tip: Testing with specific values is often easier.
Let \(A = 60^{\circ}, B = 30^{\circ}, C = 90^{\circ}\).
\(a = \sqrt{3}, b = 1, c = 2\).
\((3+1)/(3-1) \cdot \sin(30) = (4/2) \cdot (1/2) = 1\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

This is a conditional probability problem using Bayes' Theorem. We want the probability of "Man" given "Gray Hair".


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Bayes' Theorem:
\[ P(M|G) = \frac{P(M)P(G|M)}{P(M)P(G|M) + P(W)P(G|W)} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Let \(M\) = Man, \(W\) = Woman, \(G\) = Gray Hair.

2. Given: \(P(M) = 0.5, P(W) = 0.5\) (equal numbers).

3. \(P(G|M) = 0.05\) and \(P(G|W) = 0.0025\).

4. Calculation:
\[ P(M|G) = \frac{0.5 \times 0.05}{(0.5 \times 0.05) + (0.5 \times 0.0025)} \]
\[ P(M|G) = \frac{0.025}{0.025 + 0.00125} = \frac{0.025}{0.02625} \]

5. Simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{2500}{2625} = \frac{20}{21} \].


Step 4: Final Answer:

The probability is \(\frac{20}{21}\).
Quick Tip: Since population sizes are equal, you can just compare the gray hair percentages directly:
Ratio \(= 5 / (5 + 0.25) = 5 / 5.25 = 20/21\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

Determine the slopes of the two lines and combine their individual equations to form the joint equation.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Slope \(m = \tan \theta\).

If a line makes \(\theta\) with Y-axis, it makes \((90 - \theta)\) or \((90 + \theta)\) with X-axis.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Angles with X-axis: \(90 - 30 = 60^{\circ}\) and \(90 + 30 = 120^{\circ}\).

2. Slopes: \(m_1 = \tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}\) and \(m_2 = \tan 120^{\circ} = -\sqrt{3}\).

3. Equations: \(y = \sqrt{3}x \implies \sqrt{3}x - y = 0\) and \(\sqrt{3}x + y = 0\).

4. Combined equation: \((\sqrt{3}x - y)(\sqrt{3}x + y) = 0 \implies 3x^2 - y^2 = 0\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The joint equation is \(3x^2 - y^2 = 0\).
Quick Tip: If the angle with Y-axis is \(\alpha\), the joint equation is \(x^2 = y^2 \tan^2 \alpha \).
Here \(\tan^2 30^{\circ} = 1/3 \implies x^2 = y^2/3 \implies 3x^2 - y^2 = 0\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

We need a specific element of the inverse matrix \(A^{-1}\). This corresponds to a specific cofactor divided by the determinant.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The element \(a'_{ij}\) of \(A^{-1}\) is \(\frac{C_{ji}}{|A|}\).

For Row 3, Col 1 of inverse, we need \(\frac{C_{13}}{|A|}\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Calculate determinant \(|A|\):
\(|A| = 1(0 - 1) - (-3)(0 - (-2)) + 2(3 - 6)\)
\(|A| = -1 + 3(2) + 2(-3) = -1 + 6 - 6 = -1\).

2. Find cofactor \(C_{13}\):
\(C_{13} = (-1)^{1+3} \begin{vmatrix} -3 & 3
2 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = (3 - 6) = -3\).

3. Inverse element \(= \frac{C_{13}}{|A|} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The element is 3.
Quick Tip: To find Row \(i\) Col \(j\) of an inverse, find the cofactor of Row \(j\) Col \(i\) (transpose positions) and divide by determinant.
This saves you from finding the entire Adjoint matrix.

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

To find the center of a conic section given in its general form, we can complete the squares or use partial differentiation.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

Partial derivatives w.r.t. \(x\) and \(y\) at the center of a conic are zero:
\(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 0\) and \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 0\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 18x - 36 = 0 \implies x = 2\).

2. \(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = -32y + 96 = 0 \implies y = 3\).

The center coordinates are (2, 3).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The center of the hyperbola is (2, 3).
Quick Tip: For any equation \(ax^2 + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\), the center is \((-g/a, -f/b)\).
Here \(g = -18, f = 48\).
Center \(= (-(-18)/9, -(48)/-16) = (2, 3)\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The two lines are parallel (slopes are same). We need to find the perpendicular distance between them.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

For parallel lines \(ax + by + c_1 = 0\) and \(ax + by + c_2 = 0\):

Distance \(d = \frac{|c_1 - c_2|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}\).


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. Make coefficients of \(x\) and \(y\) same.

Line 1: \(3x + 4y - 9 = 0\).

Line 2: \(3x + 4y - 7.5 = 0\) (Dividing \(6x+8y=15\) by 2).

2. Here \(a=3, b=4, c_1=-9, c_2=-7.5\).

3. Distance \(d = \frac{|-9 - (-7.5)|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = \frac{|-1.5|}{5}\).

The value is 194.
Quick Tip: If \(x + 1/x = k\), then \(x^2 + 1/x^2 = k^2 - 2\) and \(x^4 + 1/x^4 = (k^2-2)^2 - 2\).
Here \((4^2-2)^2-2 = 14^2-2 = 194\).

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The angle \(\theta\) between a line with direction \(\vec{b}\) and a plane with normal \(\vec{n}\) is given by the sine function.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
\[ \sin \theta = \frac{|\vec{b} \cdot \vec{n}|}{|\vec{b}| |\vec{n}|} \]


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

1. \(\vec{b} = (1, -1, 1)\) and \(\vec{n} = (2, -1, 1)\).

2. \(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{n} = (1)(2) + (-1)(-1) + (1)(1) = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4\).

3. \(|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{1^2+1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{3}\).

4. \(|\vec{n}| = \sqrt{2^2+1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{6}\).

5. \(\sin \theta = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}\sqrt{6}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{18}} = \frac{4}{3\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}\).


Step 4: Final Answer:

The angle is \(\sin^{-1}(2\sqrt{2}/3)\).
Quick Tip: Remember: Sine is used for Line-Plane, while Cosine is used for Line-Line and Plane-Plane.
Check if the dot product should be absolute to avoid negative angles.
