Linear Motion, Projectiles & Kinematics
Solution
A body is projected at an angle of 30° to the horizontal with a velocity of 150 ms\(^{-1.}\). Calculate the time it takes to reach the greatest height [Take g = 10 ms\(^2\) and neglect air resistance]
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Given Data: u = 150 ms\(^{-1.}\), Ø = 30^\circ
Time of Flight = \(\frac{2usinØ}{g}\) → \(\frac{2 * 150 * sin30^\circ}{10}\)
= 15s
t = time taken to reach maximum height = ?
t = usin\theta \divg
t = [150 \times sin(30)] \div10
t = 7.5secs.

Solution
The symbol illustrated above is that of a resistor?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
which absorb light
B
which emits light
C
which absorbs heat to function properly
D
whose resistance is light dependent
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
A photoresistor or light dependent resistor is an electronic component that is sensitive to light. When light falls upon it, then the resistance changes.
Used where there is a need to sense the presence and absence of light is necessary. These resistors are used as light sensors and the applications of LDR mainly include alarm clocks, street lights, light intensity meters, burglar alarm circuits.

Kinetic Theory of Matter & Gas Laws
Solution
Which of the following statements about intermolecular distances and cohesive forces between gas is correct? They are
A
Both large
B
Both negligible
C
Constant and negligible
D
Large and negligible
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
In a gas, the distance between molecules, whether monatomic or polyatomic, is very large compared with the size of the molecules; thus gases have a low density and are highly compressible.
Cohesive Force is negligible in case of gases.

Reaction Rates & Chemical Equilibrium
Solution
When sugar is dissolve in tea, the reaction is accomplished by?
A
positive change
B
negative entropy change
C
no entropy change
D
a minimum entropy change
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The dissolution of sugar in tea is accompanied by positive change in entropy. When there is a change in the state of a substance from solid to liquid, there is an increase in entropy. In general, if a substance changes its structure from a condensed state to a less condensed state, then we say there is an increase in entropy.

Which of the following pairs of elements forms amphoteric oxides?
A
Be and Mg
B
Na and K
C
B and Al
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides.
Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides.

In a town of 6250 inhabitants, there were 62 births during 1984. Find the percentage birth rate
A
3%
B
1.0%
C
2.5%
D
