SECTION-I (i)

1) In the horizontal surface of a large table, there is a small round hole into which a vertical
cylindrical tube is inserted. Inside the tube, a piston moves upward with a constant velocity V0 = 6
m/s, whose upper surface is tilted at an angle α = 15° to the horizontal. From a certain height above,
a small ball falls (see the figure). At the moment immediately before an elastic collision of the ball
with the piston, the velocity of the ball is directed downward and is equal to V0. The point at which
the collision occurs is exactly at the level of the table surface. After the collision with the piston, the
ball falls onto the surface of the table at a distance ℓ from the hole in the table. Air resistance can be
neglected. Let the angle of inclination of the top surface of the piston to the horizontal be adjustable.

with light of wavelength 500 nm. The resolving power of the microscope is influenced by factors
such as the wavelength, numerical aperture, and immersion medium. Which of the following
statements are correct about the resolving power of the microscope?

(D) Using light of wavelength 1000 nm will improve the resolving power of the microscope.

4) A game of "Country Erasers" is played with two identical square-shaped erasers of length ℓ,
thickness h and uniform mass m. They initially lie flat beside each other on a horizontal table, with
their ends a distance d > h apart. In a winning move, a player flicks one eraser towards the other,
such that it rotates vertically and eventually lands resting flat on the other eraser, as shown below.
Assume that neither of the erasers slip at any point of contact with the table or with each other

throughout their motion.

(D) This move is not possible.

5) The electric heater, whose schematic is shown in Fig., operates as follows :

The switch first moves to position 1, and the capacitor with capacitance C charges completely to the
electromotive voltage of the source Ue. Then, the switch moves to position 2, and the capacitor fully
discharges through the heating element of the heater, which has resistance R. This process repeats
with frequency f. The source has an internal resistance Ri. Take C = 100 µF, R = 20 Ω, Ue = 90 V,

Ri = 80Ω, f = 2s–1.

6) Barlow's wheel (Fig.) is a simple motor, whose construction is similar to Faraday's disk, but its
operation is opposite. From a source of electromotive voltage Ue = 3.00 V, electric current is
supplied to the metallic disk via a sliding contact K1, which touches the axis of the disk, and a liquid
contact K2, made using a container of mercury, which touches the lower edge of the disk. The circuit
resistance can be regulated using a rheostat in the range of R1 = 3.00 Ω to R2 = 6.00 Ω. The lower
edge of the disk, together with contact K2, is located in a transverse magnetic field between the
poles of the magnet. For simplicity, assume that the magnetic induction is constant across the entire
area of the disk and has a value of B = 800 mT. The magnetic field will cause the disk to rotate. The
disk has a radius r0 = 120 mm and the moment of inertia about its axis is J = 5.00 × 10–4 kg.m2.

Mechanical resistance is not considered.

(A)
magnet is anti-clockwise.
(B) The maximum angular velocity of the wheel is independent of the resistance of the rheostat.
The initial angular acceleration of the wheel just after the circuit is turned on, for R = R1 is
(C)
11.52 rad/s2.
The initial angular acceleration of the wheel just after the circuit is turned on, for R = R2 is 5.76
(D)
rad/s2.

SECTION-II

1) Residual deformation of an elastic rod can be roughly described within the framework of the
following model. If the rod's extension Δℓ < x0 (where x0 is a given constant for this rod), the force
required to cause the extension Δℓ is determined by Hooke's law F = kΔℓ, where k is the stiffness of
the rod. If Δℓ > x0, the force no longer depends on the extension (the material of the rod begins to
"flow"). If we now start removing the load, the extension of the rod will decrease along the path CD,
which we simplify by assuming is straight and parallel to segment AB (see the figure). Thus, after
the load is fully removed, the rod remains deformed (point D in the figure). The maximum
temperature change ΔT (in K) of the rod if its heat capacity per unit volume is C, is: The rod is

thermally insulated. (Take : x = 2m, x = 1m, k = 20 N/m, C = 1 J–K)

2) Room air conditioning can be described as a heat engine operating in reverse mode — it extracts
heat Qm from a room at temperature Tm and transfers heat Qv > Qm to the air outside the house at
temperature TV. An electric compressor must supply work W to achieve this. Assume the device
operates as a Carnot engine with maximum possible efficiency. Even though the room is insulated,
heat enters from outside at a rate , where ΔT= Tv — Tm is the temperature difference
between the outside environment and the room, and k is a constant. What is the minimum power P
(in W) needed for the air conditioner to maintain a room temperature Tm = 20°C, given an outdoor
temperature Tv = 40°C and a typical value of the constant k = 293 W • K–1?

3) The electric field at a point P located at a height above the centroid of an equilateral triangle

with side length ℓ and uniform surface charge density σ is . The value of α is

4) In figure, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets. The angles θ1, θ2 and θ3
of the polarizing directions are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the y axis.
Angles θ1 and θ3 are fixed, but angle θ2 can be varied. Figure gives the intensity of the light emerging
from sheet 3 as a function of θ2. What percentage of the light's initial intensity (approximately) is
transmitted by the three-sheet system when θ2 = 90°? Take : sin50° = 0.75.

5) Board-(a) is lying on top of board-(b). Together, they form a single unit and move with some
velocity v on a smooth horizontal surface. They collide with another identical board-(c). There is no
friction between boards-(a) and (b), but there is friction between boards-(a) and (c). Upon collision,
boards-(b) and (c) are firmly coupled and do not move relative to each other. The length of each
board is L. Board -(a) stops moving relative to board-(b) and (c) at the moment it is entirely located
on top of board-(c). Find the displacement Δx of board (a) from the moment of collision until the

relative motion of the boards stops. If the value of Δx is , the value of α is. Take : . (all

board are identical.)

6) A beaker is fitted with a heating coil and stirrer and contains 40.0 cm3 of liquid A. When the
power dissipated in the heating coil is 4.80 W, the temperature of the contents rises from 15.0°C to
35.0°C in 400 s. The experiment is repeated using 20.0 cm3 of liquid A mixed with 20.0 cm3 of liquid
B. It is found that, with a heater power of 4.90 W, the temperature again rises from 15.0°C to 35.0°C
in 400 s. The specific heat capacity, s of B (in Jkg–1 K–1) is: (Density of A is 1.60 × 103 kg m–3, Specific
heat capacity of A is 8.60 × 102 J kg–1 K, Density of B is 2 × 103 kg m–3)

7) To break an electrical circuit when the current increases, a movable thin semicircular ring OA
(figure) is used. The ring has a mass m = 3.0 g and a radius R = 1.0 cm, and it can freely (without
friction) rotate in the vertical plane about point O. The system is located in a uniform horizontal
magnetic field with an induction B = 1.5 T, perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Find the
maximum current strength Imax (in A) at which the limiter disconnects the circuit.

8) Ram is bored, so he decides to use his collection of uniform thin copper rods, each of resistance R
= 1.00 Ω, to create a rigid compound shape shown below. The copper rods form seven regular

hexagons. The effective resistance RAB between points A and B is . The value of α is:

3) The slope of the -x graph is equal to the negative value of the electric field intensity (–E),
with the direction of the field being opposite to the slope direction. The field created by a
positive charge has a positive potential, while the field created by a negative charge has a
negative potential. If multiple field sources exist, the total potential is the algebraic sum of
their potentials.
The slope of the -x graph is equal to the electric field intensity value –E. Statement C is
incorrect because the slope at point N is not zero, meaning the electric field at point N is not
zero, so statement A is incorrect. The slope of the tangent at point C is zero, indicating the
field at C is zero. Since A and N are located to the right of point M, it can be deduced that q1>
q2, making statement B incorrect.
From point N to point D, the potential first rises and then falls. Thus, if a negative charge is
moved from N to D, the electric force will first do positive work and then negative work,
making statement D correct.

14) We note the points at which the curve is zero (θ2 = 60° and 140°). We infer that sheet-2 is
perpendicular to one of the other sheets at θ2 = 60° and that it is perpendicular to the other of
the other sheets when θ2 = 140°. Without loss of generality, we choose θ1 = 150°, θ3 = 50°.
Now, when θ2 = 90°, it will be |Δθ| = 60° relative to sheet-1 and |Δθ'| = 40° relative to sheet-3.
Therefore,

cos2(Δθ)cos2(Δθ') = 7%

40) (1 + x + 2x2 + 4x4)20

Tr+1 = 20Cr · (1 + x + 2x2)20–r · (4x4)r
For r = 19
T19+1 = 20C19 · (1 + x + 2x2)1 · (4x4)19
∴ Coefficient of x78 = 2 · 20C19 · 419 = 2 · 20 · 238 = 10 · 240

 ∴ | z1 | | z2 | = | z2 | | z3 | = | z3 | | z1 |

∴ = =
∴ | z1 | = | z2 | = | z3 | = r
⇒ z1, z2, z3 lie on a circle of radius r.

| z1 |2 = r2 ⇒ = ; |||ly = ; =

from (2) z1 = z2 = z3

= =
hence amp z1 – amp z2 = amp z2 – amp z3 = amp z3 – amp z1
⇒ A1A2A3 is equilateral triangle.
∴ (2) ⇒ (1) ⇒ (A)

Also = =
hence = z3z1 and = z1z2 & = z2z3
∴ (2) ⇒ (3) ⇒ (C)

42) We have
2[x] + 64 = 3[x] – 192 ⇒ [x] = 256 ⇒ x ∈ [256, 257)

Also, β = sin · sin … sin … sin

= sin2 · sin2 · sin2 ·sin2 = sin2 10° · sin2 30° · sin2 50° · sin2 70°

(sin 10° · sin 50° · sin 70)2 =

∴β= =

43)

(A) 5 sec–1α + 10 sin–1 β = 10 π sec–1 α = π & sin–1 β = π/2

⇒ α = – 1; β = 1 So tan–1 (–1) + cos–1 (0) = – + =

(B) sin 2πx + cos 2πx = sin 2πx +

(D) f(x) = = = 4 + [sin x] + + +

and is zero in (0, p)

 Hence f (x) = 4 + [sin x] +
Now range of f (x) is {4, 5}
Hence sum is 4 + 5 = 9 ⇒ (D) is incorrect.

44) (A) f(x) = sin–1

f (–x) = sin–1 = – f(x)

f = f(x) = –f(–x)

(B) f '(x) = · ·

Since ∈

45) Given, A + adj (A) = αAT ….…(1)

(A) If α = 1, A + adj (A) = AT ⇒ adj (A) = – (A – AT)
⇒ | adj (A) | = | – (A – AT) | = 0
∵ A – AT is skew symmetric.
(B) If α = 1, A + adj (A) = AT ⇒ 3A + adj (A) = AT + 2A
So, tr (3A + adj (A)) = tr(AT + 2A) ≡ tr(3A) = 9 (diagonal element are same in AT and A).
(C) If α = – 2, A + adj (A) = – 2AT
⇒ 3A + adj (A) = – 2AT + 2A = 2(A – AT) ⇒ | 3A + adj (A) | = 0
(D) If α = – 2, A + adj (A) = – 2AT ⇒ 4A + adj (A) = 3A – 2AT
T
So, tr (4A + adj (A)) = tr (3A – 2A ) ≡ tr (A) = 3.

46) (A) 35 ; There are 5 pair of numbers having sum equals to 11

(1, 10); (2, 9); (3, 8); (4, 7); (5, 6)
from every pair, one number can be taken in 3 ways
Hence number of subsets 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 35
5
(B) 3 ; xyz = 2310 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 7 · 11
2 can be distributed to x, y, z in 3 ways.

5 can be distributed to x, y, z in 3 ways.
7 can be distributed to x, y, z in 3 ways.
11 can be distributed to x, y, z in 3 ways.
Hence total ways is 35

(C) 35;
1st place can be filled only in one way i.e. 1
remaining 5 places can be filled in 35 ways
Hence total number of ways = 1 · 35 = 35 Ans.

47) Equation of normal at P1 (4 cos θ1, 3 sin θ1) is

... (1)
Also, equation of CQ1 is

y= x ... (2)
∴ Solving (1) and (2), we get

– x=7

⇒ = 7 ⇒ x = 7 cos θ1, y = 7 sin θ1

So, K1 = (7 cos θ1, 7 sin θ1) ⇒ CK1 = 7
Similarly, CK2 = CK3 = ..... = CKn = 7

∴ ⇒ 7n = 56 ⇒ n = =8

50) W1: C1 = (–5, 12) W2: C2 = (5, 12)

r1 = 16 r2 = 4
now, CC2 = r + 4
CC1 = 16 – r
let C(h, k) = c(h, ah)
CC12 = (16 – r)2
⇒ (h + 5)2 + (12 – ah)2 = (16 – r)2
CC22 = (4 + r)2
⇒ (h – 5)2 + (12 – ah)2 = (4 + r)2
By subtraction
20h = 240 – 40r
⇒ h = 12 – 2r ⇒ 12r = 72 – 6h ...(1)
By addition
2[h2 + 25 + a2h2 – 24ah + 144] = 272 – 24r + 2r2

h2(1 + a2) – 24ah + 169 = 136 – 12r + r2 = 136 + (6h – 72) + [using (1)]
⇒ 4[h2(1 + a2) – 24ah + 169] = 4[64 + 6h] + (12 – h)2 = 256 + 144 + h2
⇒ h2(3 + 4a2) – 96ah + 105 · 4 – 36 · 4 = 0
⇒ h2(3 + 4a2) – 96ah + 69 · 4 = 0; for 'h' to be real D ≥ 0
⇒ (96a)2 – 4 · 4 · 69 (3 + 4a2) ≥ 0
⇒ 576a2 – 69.3 – 276a2 ≥ 0

300a2 ≥ 207 ⇒ a2 ≥ ; hence m (smallest) =

So, m2 = ; ∴ p + q = 169
51)
& f(0+) = 0
∴ function is always continuous.

& f ′ (0+) = k2 – 3k – 1
∵ function are differentiable at x = 0

⇒ k2 – 3k – 1 = 0
k1 + k2 = 3, k1k2 = –1
∴

52) log3 |x – 2| =
⇒ log3 |x – 2| = log3 (|x| – 2)
⇒ |x – 2| = |x| – 2
⇒ |x| – |x – 2| = 2
Case-I : x < 0
–x+x–2=0
–2 = 2 (no solution)
Case-II: 0 ≤ x < 2
x + (x – 2) = 2
⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2 (no solution)
Case-III : x ≥ 2
x – (x – 2) = 2
⇒ 2=2
∴ x≥2
But log3(|x| – 2) > 0 ⇒ |x| – 2 > 1 ⇒ |x| > 3
∴ x ∈ (3, ∞) is the solution set of the equation
Least integral value of x is 4.
Now, (α)–4α = (4)–16 = 2–32
N = 2–32
log10N = –32 log10 2 = – 32 × 0.301 = – 9.632
∴ Number of zeros after decimal and before first significant digit in 2–32 is 9

53) det. (A) = x1 · x2 · x3

det. (B) = y1 · y2 · y3

54) y2/3 – 2xy1/3 + 1 = 0

y1/3 = ⇒ ℓn y = 3 ℓn

⇒ (x2 – 1) y12 = 9y2

2x y12 + (x2 – 1) 2y1y2 = 18yy1
xy1 + (x2 – 1)y2 = 9y (As y1 is not equal to 0, because y is not constant)
Dividing by y, we get

∴ x + (x2 – 1) = 9 Ans.

Alternatively: Given .....(1)

Differentiate both side with respect to x, we get

2= ⇒ 2=

⇒ 6y = (squaring)
2 2 2
⇒ 36y = (4x – 4)y1 {using equation (1) }
⇒ 9y2 = (x2 – 1)y12 .......(2)
Again differentiate both sides of above equation, we get
18yy1 = (x2 – 1) · 2 y1y2 + 2xy12
⇒ 9y = (x2 – 1)y2 + xy1 (As y is not constant so y1 ≠ 0)

⇒ 9=
