Question 1:

The moment of inertia of a thin ring about its diameter is:

  • (A) \(MR^2\)
  • (B) \(\frac{1}{2}MR^2\)
  • (C) \(\frac{1}{4}MR^2\)
  • (D) \(2MR^2\)
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

For a ring, \(I_{diameter} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2\) using perpendicular axis theorem. Quick Tip: Ring: \(I_{center} = MR^2\), diameter = half of it.


Question 2:

A Carnot engine operates between 400 K and 300 K. Its efficiency is:

  • (A) 25%
  • (B) 30%
  • (C) 75%
  • (D) 100%
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ \eta = 1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=1-\frac{300}{400}=0.25 \] Quick Tip: Carnot efficiency depends only on temperatures.


Question 3:

  • (B) 600 nm
  • (C) 700 nm
  • (D) 400 nm
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ y_n = n\frac{\lambda D}{d} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{yd}{nD} = \frac{0.015\times0.0002}{3\times1}=5\times10^{-7}\ m \] Quick Tip: Fringe distance is proportional to order number.


Question 4:

  • (B) Strong acid and strong base
  • (C) Strong acid and weak base
  • (D) Weak acid and strong base
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

Strong acid–strong base neutralization releases maximum heat (≈57 kJ/mol). Quick Tip: Complete ionization gives maximum heat.


Question 9:

If \(\cos\theta=-\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\theta\) lies in the second quadrant, then \(\sin\theta\) is:

  • (A) \(4/5\)
  • (B) \(-4/5\)
  • (C) \(3/5\)
  • (D) \(-3/5\)
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

In second quadrant, sine is positive: \[ \sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=\frac{4}{5} \] Quick Tip: Remember signs of trigonometric ratios in quadrants.


Question 10:

The equation of the tangent to the curve \(y=x^3-2x+1\) at \((1,0)\) is:

  • (A) \(y=x-1\)
  • (B) \(y=x+1\)
  • (C) \(y=-x+1\)
  • (D) \(y=x\)
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ \frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2-2 \Rightarrow m=1 \]
Equation: \(y-0=1(x-1)\Rightarrow y=x-1\) Quick Tip: Tangent slope = derivative at the point.


Question 11:

The value of \(\int e^x(\sin x+\cos x)\,dx\) is:

  • (A) \(e^x\sin x + C\)
  • (B) \(e^x\cos x + C\)
  • (C) \(e^x\sin x-e^x\cos x + C\)
  • (D) \(e^x(\sin x+\cos x)+C\)
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

Differentiate \(e^x\sin x\) to verify. Quick Tip: Check by differentiation when in doubt.


Question 12:

If the coefficient of correlation between \(x\) and \(y\) is 0.8, then the regression coefficient of \(y\) on \(x\) is:

  • (A) Always 0.8
  • (B) Always greater than 0.8
  • (C) Depends on standard deviations
  • (D) Always less than 0.8
Correct Answer: (C)
View Solution

\[ b_{yx}=r\frac{\sigma_y}{\sigma_x} \]
Hence it depends on standard deviations. Quick Tip: Regression coefficient ≠ correlation coefficient.


Question 13:

The number of ways to arrange the letters of the word ``MISSISSIPPI'' is:

  • (A) 34650
  • (B) 12600
  • (C) 9450
  • (D) 69300
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

\[ \frac{11!}{4!4!2!}=34650 \] Quick Tip: Use factorial formula for repeated letters.


Question 14:

A boat takes 4 hours to travel 40 km downstream and 6 hours to return. The speed of the stream is:

  • (A) 2 km/h
  • (B) 4 km/h
  • (C) 6 km/h
  • (D) 8 km/h
Correct Answer: (A)
View Solution

Downstream speed = 10 km/h, upstream = 6.67 km/h \[ Stream speed=\frac{10-6.67}{2}=2\ km/h \] Quick Tip: Stream speed = half of speed difference.


Question 15:

If the 5th term of a G.P. is 81 and the 8th term is 6561, the first term is:

  • (A) 3
  • (B) 9
  • (C) 1
  • (D) 27
Correct Answer: (B)
View Solution

\[ \frac{T_8}{T_5}=r^3=\frac{6561}{81}=81 \Rightarrow r=3 \] \[ a=\frac{81}{3^4}=9 \] Quick Tip: Divide terms to eliminate first term.

  • (A) 16
  • (B) 36
  • (C) 81
  • (D) 100

  • (A) 391
  • (B) 379
  • (C) 739
  • (D) 937

Choose the antonym of ``Benevolent'':

  • (A) Kind
  • (B) Generous
  • (C) Malevolent
  • (D) Friendly

  • (A) is
  • (B) are
  • (C) were
  • (D) have
Correct Answer: (B)
