The dancing troupe put up a flawless performance?
A
an interesting
B
an imperfect
C
a satisfactory
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The term "flawless" means without any mistakes or imperfections. In the context of the sentence, it describes a performance that was executed perfectly without any errors or flaws.
The opposite of "flawless" is "imperfect," indicating that there were shortcomings or errors in the performance. Therefore, option B, "an imperfect," conveys the opposite meaning, suggesting that the dancing troupe did not deliver a flawless performance but rather one with some imperfections.

Waves, Sound & Vibrations
Solution
The diagram above represents a transverse electromagnetic wave travelling with speed 3.0 x 108ms-1. What is the frequency of the wave.
A
3.0 x 107Hz
B
9.0 x 107Hz
C
1.0 x 109Hz
D
3.0 x 109Hz
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The frequency f = V/λ,
Where λ = wavelength
From the above, the distance OA = one wavelength; AB = one wave length and BC = one wavelength.
=> OC = 3 wavelength = 3λ
∴3λ = 0.3M
λ = 0.3/3
= 0.1m
∴ f = V/λ = (3.0 x 108) / 0.1
= 3.0 x 109Hz

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
When a magnet is moved near a ferromagnetic material like soft iron, it induces magnetism in the material. The end closer to the magnet becomes the opposite pole.
In this scenario, the south pole of the magnet X approaches point P. Point P becomes a north pole to repel the south pole, while the opposite end (Q) becomes a south pole.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From Ohms Law, E = I(R +X)
=> E = I1(R1 + X)
again, E = I2(R2 + X)
=> I1(R1 + X) = I2(R2 + X)
∴ 5(8 + X) = 7(5 + X)
40 + 5X = 35 + 7X
7X - 5X = 40 - 35
2X = 5
X = 5/2
= 2.5Ω

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Energy stored in a capacitor is given by
E = \(\frac{1}{2}\)CV\(^2\)
But the effective capacitance for the parallel arrangement is given by
C = C\(_1\) + C\(_2\)
= 2 + 3
= 5\muF = 5 x 10\(^{-6}\) x (100)\(^2\)
∴E = \(\frac{1}{2}\)CV\(^2\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 5 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 10\(^4\)
2.9 x 10\(^{-2}\)J

Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Power = IV = I2R = V2/R
In terms of e.m.f E, of a cell we have
IE = I2R = E2/R
∴P1 = E2/R; P2 = E2/R2/E2/R2
= E2/R1 x R2/E2 = R2/R1
∴P1/P2 = R2/R1
