(SINGLE CORRECT ANSWER TYPE)
This section contains 20 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 options (1), (2), (3) and (4) for its answer, out of which ONLY ONE option can be
correct.
Marking scheme: +4 for correct answer, 0 if not attempted and –1 in all other cases.
1. In the given figure, the energy levels of hydrogen atom have been shown along with
some transitions marked A, B, C, D and E. The transitions A, B and C respectively
represent :

1) The first member of the Lyman series, third member of Balmer series and second
member of Paschen series.
2) The series limit of Lyman series, second member of Balmer series and second member
of Paschen series.
3) The ionization potential of hydrogen, second member of Balmer series and third
member of Paschen series
4) The series limit of Lyman series, third member of Balmer series and second member
of Paschen series

2. A cube of side ‘a’ has point charges +Q located at each of its vertices except at the origin
where the charge is – Q. The field at the centre of cube is :

Key: 2
Sol: If we consider two point charges +q and –q at position of –q charge, then after
interchanging –q charge with +q charge, net electric field at centre of cube is zero due to
