3. A person clapped his hands near a cliff and heard echo after 6 s. The distance of the cliff from the person is:[take v = 346 ms-1]
A. 1038 m
B. 1083 m
C. 2076 m
D. 2706 m
Solutions
CONCEPT:
- Echo: If we shout or clap near a suitable reflecting object such as a tall building or a mountain, we will hear the same sound again a little later. This sound which we hear is called an echo.
- Echoes are heard due to the phenomenon of Reflection of sound waves.
- To hear the echo clearly, the reflecting object must be more than 17.2 m from the sound source for the echo to be heard by a person standing at the source.
Calculation:
Given that,
The time taken by the echo to reach back to the source (t)= 6s.
Velocity of the sound (v) = 346 m/s.
Distance between person and cliff (d) = v x ta
As sound travels back and forth to form an echo and hence time is twice.
Now dividing the time take by 2 we get actual time (Ta)= 6/2 ⇒ 3
Therefore, the distance from person to the cliff (d) = 346 x 3 ⇒ 1038 m.
The distance between the person and the cliff is 1038 meters.
4. A car accelerates uniformly from 18 kmh-1 to 72 kmh-1 in 5 s. The acceleration of the car is:
A. 3 ms2. B
10. ms-2
C. 10.8 ms2
D. 3 ms-2
Solutions
CONCEPT:
Acceleration (a):
- The time rate of change of velocity of an object is called the acceleration of the object. i.e.
a=v2−v1 / t2−t1
Where v2 = velocity of an object at time t2 and v1 = velocity of an object at time t1
- It is a vector quantity.
- It’s direction is same as that of change in velocity.
CALCULATION:
Given that,
⇒ Initial velocity of the car (u) = 18 km/h
⇒ Final velocity of the car (v) = 72 km/h
⇒ Acceleration is defined as change in velocity with respect to time i.e. a = vf/t
⇒ Change in velocity is final velocity – initial velocity (vf)= 72- 18 ⇒ 54 Km/h = 54 × 5 /18
⇒ 15 m/s.
⇒ Acceleration of the car (a) = 15/5 = 3m/s2.
⇒ Therefore, the acceleration of the car (a) = 3m/s2.

Solutions
1. Given compound is Aluminium Sulphate Al2(SO4)3
2. the Atomic mass of Aluminium (Al) = 27.
3. The atomic mass of Sulphur (S) = 16 x 2 = 32
4. The atomic mass of oxygen (O) = 8 x 2 = 16.
5. Total molar mass of the compound is (27 x 2) + (32 x 3) + (16 x12) ⇒342 gm/mole.
6. Molar Mass of the oxygen = 12 x 16 ⇒ 192 gm/mole.
7. Percentage of oxygen in total compound = (192/342) x 100 ⇒ 56.140%
8. Therefore, the percentage of oxygen in Aluminium Sulphate is 56.1 %

2. A is lighter than C and D
A. Statement 2 alone is sufficient
B. Statement 1 and 2 together are necessary
C. Statement 1 alone is sufficient
D. Statement 1 and 2 are not sufficient to solve
Solutions
We can check statements one by one.
Statements:
B is heavier than A → information about other two bags is not given.
So, the statement I is not sufficient alone.
A is lighter than C and D → information about B- bag and relation between bag C and D is not given. So, we cannot find which bag is lightest. Thus, statement II is not sufficient alone.
On combining both the statements I and II we get,
C, D, B > A. → thus we can find A is lightest among all the bags.
Hence, “Statement 1 and 2 together are necessary”.

Solutions
In ΔXYM,
∠XYM + ∠XMY + ∠YXM = 180°
⇒ 16° + (180° – ∠XMZ) + ∠YXM = 180° (∵ ∠XMY + ∠XMZ = 180°)
⇒ 16° + 180° – 32° + ∠YXM = 180°
⇒ ∠YXM = 16° = ∠XYM
∴ YM = XM = MZ (∵ M is the midpoint of YZ)
∴ ∠MXZ = ∠MZX = ∠XZY
In ΔXMZ
∠XMZ + ∠MXZ + ∠MZX = 180°
⇒ 32° + ∠MXZ + ∠MXZ = 180°
⇒ 2 × ∠MXZ = 180° – 32°
⇒ ∠MXZ = 74°
⇒ ∠XZY = ∠MXZ = 74°
∴ The value of ∠XZY is 74°

30. Bending of light rays in the denser medium is termed as ________.
A. Reflection
B. Dispersion
C. Refraction
D. Deflection
Solutions
CONCEPT:
1.Refraction: The bending of a ray of light when it goes from one medium to another is called refraction of light.
2. Refraction occurs when waves or rays of the light bend towards or away from the normal when they travel from one medium to another of a different density.
3. When a light ray travels from a lighter to a denser medium, the light ray bends towards the normal.
4. When a light ray travels from a denser to a lighter medium the light ray bend away from the normal.
EXPLANATION:
- Reflection: The phenomena in which light ray is sent back into the same medium from which it is coming, on interaction with boundary, is called reflection.
- Dispersion of light: The splitting of white light, when it passes through glass prism into its constituent spectrum is known as the dispersion of light.
- Refraction: The bending of light rays in the denser medium is termed as Refraction. So option 3 is correct.
- Deflection: There is no such phenomenon as a deflection of light.

I. School students consider their faculty as role models.
II. More time is spent at schools by students
A. Neither I nor II is implicit
B. Only II is implicit
C. Only I is implicit
D. Either I or II is implicit
Solutions
From the statement given, as the students are influenced by their faculty, we can assume that “School students consider their faculty as role models”.
But the information about the time spent by the students in the school is not provided. So, we cannot assume that “More time is spent at schools by students”.
Hence, “Only assumption I is implicit”.
33. An object travels 23 m in 3 s and then another 15 m in 2 s. What is the average speed of the object?
A. 7.6 ms-1
B. 7.6 s-1
C. 8.0 ms-1
D. 7.6 m
Solutions
Concept:
1.Speed: The distance travelled by the body in unit time.
2.Speed=Distance / Time
3. Also, Time=Distance / Speed
4. Average Speed: Since the body does not always have the same speed, So we use the concept of average speed. It is the ratio of total distance covered to total time taken by the body.
5. Average Speed=Total Distance / Total Time
Calculation:
Given that,The object travels 23 m in 3 sec.
The object again travels 15 m in 2s.
Thus total distance travelled by the object = 23 + 15 ⇒ 38m
Total time = 3 + 2 ⇒ 5s
Average speed = distance/ time
= 38/5 ⇒ 7.6 m/s
The average speed of the object is 7.6 m/s.

35. Pipe A is an inlet pipe that can fill an empty cistern in 69 hours. Pipe B can drain the filled cistern in 46 hours. When the cistern is filled, the two pipes are opened one at a time for an hour each, starting with Pipe B. How long will it take for the cistern to be empty?
A. 11 days 10 hours
B. 11 days 7 hours
C. 11 days 12 hours
D. 1 days 13 hours
Solutions
Let the capacity of the cistern be the LCM of 69 and 46 i.e. 138 units.
⇒ The efficiency of Pipe A = 138/69 = 2 units
⇒ The efficiency of Pipe B = 138/46 = 3 units
Since Pipe B is draining, the efficiency of pipe B will be -3.
The pattern of work = B, A, B, A, B, A…
⇒ Work done by pipe B and pipe A in 2 hours = -3 + 2 = -1 unit
In 2 hours → 1 unit emptied
Then, 2 × 135 hours → 135 units emptied
Remaining work to be done by pipe B.
Now, pipe B will be working for the next hour for -3 units and the tank would be empty.
⇒ Total time = 270 + 1 = 271 hours = 11 days 7 hours
36. When a constant force acts on an object with a mass of 8 kg for a duration of 3 s, it increases the object’s velocity from 4 ms-1 to 6 ms-1. What is the magnitude of the applied force?
A. 5.33 N
B. 4.33 N
C. 6.33 N
D. 3.33 N
Solutions
CONCEPT:
- Equation of motion: The mathematical equations used to find the final velocity, displacements, time, etc of a moving object without considering force acting on it are called equations of motion.
- These equations are only valid when the acceleration of the body is constant and they move on a straight line.
There are three equations of motion:
V = u + at
V2 = u2 + 2 a S
S=ut+12at2
Force: It is a kind of push or pulls applied to an object which causes it to accelerate at a certain rate
i.e., Force produces acceleration in a body.
∴ F = m × a
Where,
V = final velocity,
u = initial velocity,
s = distance travelled by the body under motion,
a = acceleration of body under motion,
t = time taken by the body under motion.
Calculation:
Given that,
Mass of the object = 8kg.
Time in which force acting on the body (t) = 3s
initial Velocity of the object (u) = 4m/s
Final Velocity of the object (v) = 6m/s
Force applied on the object = F
Acceleration of the object v = u +at.
6 = (4) +(a) (3).
= 2/3.
Now from newton second law, we get F = ma
F = (8) (2/3) ⇒ 5.33
The magnitude of the applied force is 5.33N.
37. Find the next term in the following series.Z26, X24, V22, _______

38. An object of 10 kg is moving with a speed of 2 m/s. The kinetic energy of the object is:
A. 20 J
B. 5 J
C. 10 J
D. 40 J
Solutions
CONCEPT:
- Kinetic energy (KE): The energy possessed by a body due to the virtue of its motion is termed as kinetic energy.
i.e., KE= ½ mv2
Where
m = mass of the body
v = velocity of the body
KE = kinetic energy of the body
Calculation:
Given that,
Mass of the object (m) = 10kg
Speed of the object (v) = 2 m/s.
Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ½ mv2.
= ½ (10)(2)2 ⇒ 20 joules.
The kinetic energy of the object is 20 J.

43. If a person moves a trolley for a distance of 10 m with a force of 50 N, then the work done is:
A. 0.2 J
B. 5 J
C. 20 J
D. 500 J
Solutions
Concept:
The work done by a force is defined as: The product of the component of the applied force on the block in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement is called work done.
When a force is applied on an object which causes displacement along the direction of force then the work is said to be done by that force.
i.e., 
Here both force and displacement will be along the same direction since force is causing this displacement thus Work done is a scalar quantity.
Calculation:
Given that,
- Force acting on the trolley (F) = 50 N
- Distance travelled by trolled (s) = 10 m
- Total work is done W = F x s
= 50 x 10 ⇒ 500 J
The total work done is 500 joules.

79. An object having the capability to do work is said to possess____________.
A. Inertia
B. Force
C. Pressure
D. Energy
Solutions
Concept:
When a force is applied on an object which cause displacement along the direction of force then the work is said be done by that force.
The work done by a force is defined as: The product of component of the applied force on the block in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement is called work done.
i.e., W=F→.dx→=Fdxcosθ
or in terms of magnitude, it can be given as
W=F×s
Also, if work is done against the gravitational force the force acting can be given as mass times gravitational force whereas instead of distance, we can express it as height
i.e., W = (mg)× h = mgh
this expression is similar to potential energy for a system
Here both force and displacement will be along the same direction since force is causing this displacement thus Work done is a scalar quantity.
Here,
Force applied on object = F
Displacement of object = dx
Distance travelled by an object = s
The angle between Force and displacement = θ
Explanation:
From the above explanation, we can see that potential energy is the potential to do work and both work and potential energy has the same unit and dimension.
Also, the total amount of work done by the system will directly depend on the amount of potential energy
An object having the capability to do work is said to possess potential energy
Extra point:
The following table represents the quantity and its formula
| Quantity | Formula | Definition |
| Inertia | – | a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. |
| Force | F = mass x acceleration | A push or pull applied on an object of some mass which causes it to accelerate at the rate a |
| Energy | P.E = mgh, K.E = mv2/2 | Energy is a conserved quantity which has a different form, but it is classified based on potential and kinetic energy |
| Pressure | P = F/A | It is defined as the force applied per unit area |
