Idioms, Figurative Expressions & Sentence Interpretation
Solution
From the speech by Ime, it is clear that the women
A
Intend to do real battle with the menfolk on defence of their rights
B
Will no longer perform their traditional duties
C
Are henceforth prepared to adopt a policy of confrontation with men
D
Can do anything that man can do and sometimes even better
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
Ime’s speech is hyperbolic and symbolic, not literal. Phrases like “fried alive”, “squeeze ourselves into tight-fitting trousers”, “register into judo classes” and “punch the face of every man we behold” are figurative expressions of anger and resistance.
They show a shift from patience and persuasion to open resistance and confrontation in defence of women’s rights. The emphasis is on taking a confrontational stance, not on actual physical violence or abandoning womanhood.

Solution
The diagram above shows a velocity time graph representing the motion of a car. Find the total distance covered during the acceleration and retardation of the motion
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
75m
B
150m
C
300m
D
375m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Distance during acceleration
= area of the first triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 10 x 10 = 50m
Distance during retardation( deceleration)
= area of second triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 5 x 10 = 25m
Total Distance = 50 + 25 = 75m.

Solution
In the fig above,A lever of length 200m is used to lift a load of mass 180kg. The pivot at P is 20m from the load. what minimum force F must be applied at the end of the lever [g = 10ms-2]

B
18N
C
20N
D
200N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Applying the principle of moment
Clockwise moment = anti-clockwise moment.
But moment = force x perpendicular distance
F(200 - 20) = 1800 x 20
F = \(\frac{1800 \times 20}{180}\)
F = 10 x 20 = 200N

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Total resistance in series Ra = 4\(\Omega\) and another 4 \(\Omega\)
Forming two resistors in parallel: \(\frac{R_a \times R_b}{R_a + R_b}\) = \(\frac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4}\) = 2 (\Omega\)
and this is in series with the 1 (\Omega\) resistor = 3(\Omega\)
I = \(\frac{12}{3}\) = 4.0A

3V
B
6V
C
12V
D
18V
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For capacitors in series
C\(_{\text{eq}} = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2}\)
C\(_{\text{eq}} = \frac{5 \times 15}{5 + 15} = \frac{75}{20}\) = 3.75\muF
Charge on the series branch
Q = Ceq \times V =3.75 \times 24 = 90 \muC.
Potential difference across the 5 µF capacitor
V\(_{5} = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{90}{5}\) = 18 V
