A
market
B
controlling
C
operational
D
production
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In the context of economics and capitalism, the term "market mechanism" refers to the forces of supply and demand that interact to determine prices and allocate resources. This mechanism operates within the framework of a market economy, where producers offer goods and services, and consumers make choices based on their preferences and purchasing power.
In the passage, the sentence mentions that the market mechanism determines prices paid by consumers to producers and allocates shares of total output among different factors of production. Therefore, the word "market" accurately represents this system of interactions and decision-making processes within capitalism.

A
moonlight generally shares many characteristics with 'earth light'
B
moonlight shines brighter on the earth's surface than perhaps elsewhere
C
the earth actually shares boundaries with the moon
D
the earth is nearer to the moon than to the sun
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
There is a close distance between the Earth and the Moon compared to the much greater distance between the Earth and the Sun.
So when the passage says the moon has worked a “spell of fascination over all the people on its near neighbour, the earth,” it’s highlighting how close the moon is to Earth — making it visible, influential (like in tides) and a natural object of human curiosity and study.

Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
Calculate the angle of minimum deviation for a ray which is refracted through an equiangular prism of refractive index 1.4
A
600
B
290
C
990
D
900
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From the relation refractive index(n) = \(\frac{sin(\frac{ A + Dm}{2})}{sin(\frac{A}{2})}\)
1.4 = \(\frac{sin(\frac{ 60º + Dm)}{2}}{sin(\frac{60}{2})}\)
1.4 = \(\frac{sin(\frac{ 60 + Dm}{2})}{sin30}\)
sin\(\frac{ 60 + Dm}{2}\) = sin 30 x 1.4
sin\(\frac{ 60 + Dm}{2}\) = 0.7
\(\frac{60 + Dm}{2}\) = sin\(^{-1}\)(0.7) = 44.427º
60 + Dm = 2 x 44.427 = 88.8
Dm = 88.8 - 60 = 28.8º ≈ 29º

Current Electricity & Electric Circuits
Solution
A cell whose internal resistance is 0.5Ω delivers a current of 4A to an external resistor,The loss voltage of the cell is
A
1.250V
B
2.000V
C
8.000V
D
0.125V
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
E = V + v
where E = emf of cell.
V = terminal p.d
v = loss voltage of the cell.
But from ohm's law V=IR ; v = Iv
\( \implies \) lost voltage = V = Ir
= 4 x 0.5
= 2.0v
