Q1. In which pteridophytes, hetersporous is produced?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores are known as heterosporous.

Q2. SER differ from RER in
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) differ from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in absence of ribosome on the surface of endoplasmic reticulum.

Q3. Which of the following is the method of Unrestricted random sampling?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

In this method, each unit have an equal probability/chance of getting selected, hence the sampling is unrestricted as well as random

Q4. In Delhi the use of which fuel in public transport has significantly lowered air pollution
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5. Degeneracy of genetic code is due to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The genetic code is the set of "rules" that a cell uses to interpret the nucleotide sequence within a molecule of mRNA. This sequence is broken into a series of three-nucleotide units known as codons.

The three-letter nature of codons means that the four nucleotides found in mRNA — A, U, G, and C — can produce a total of 64 different combinations. Of these 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and the remaining three represent stop signals, which trigger the end of protein synthesis.

Because there are only 20 different amino acids but 64 possible codons, most amino acids are indicated by more than one codon. ( however, that each codon represents only one amino acid or stop codon.).

This phenomenon is known as redundancy or degeneracy, and it is important to the genetic code because it minimizes the harmful effects that incorrectly placed nucleotides can have on protein synthesis.


Q6. A 200 ohm resistor is connected in series with a 5μF capacitor. The voltage across the resistor is VR = (1.20 V) cos(2500 rad/s)t . Capacitive reactance is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

VR = (1.20 V) cos(2500 rad/s)t

ω=2500rad/s

C=5μF=5×106F

Capacitive reactance

XC=1ωC=12500×5×106=80Ω


Q7. A milliammeter of range 10 mA and resistance 9 ohms is joined in a circuit as shown. The device gives full-scale deflection for current I when A and B are used as its terminals, i.e., current enters at A and leaves at B (C is left isolated). The value of total current I is

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Thee above circuit can be redrawn as:

Total resistance in the arm EF ( milliammeter and the 0.9Ω resistor)= 9+0.9=9.9Ω.

Since the milliammeter gives full scale deflection when A and B are used as its terminals, the current in the arm EF is 10 mA. The potential difference across the arm is 

VEF = Ig* R = 10(10^ - 3) * 9.9 = 0.099V.

The potential difference across AB= potential diff across the 0.1Ω resistor= VEF = 0.099 V.

The current through the 0.1Ω resistor


The total current I is the sum of I0.1 and Ig 

= Ig + I0.1 = 0.01 + 0.99 = 1A.


Q8. A simple spring has length l and force constant K. It is cut into two springs of lengths  and  such that  =n. (where n is an integer), the force constant of the spring of length  is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. Pure de-mineralised water is obtained by passing water through an anion exchange as a second process after passing it through a cation exchange. This makes the water
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Cation exchange resin have exchangeable hydrogen ions which makes the water acidic while anion exchange resin have exchangeable hydroxide ion which makes the water basic. Passing water to anion exchange resin as a second process after passing through anion exchange resin makes the water neutral.

Q10. MOET stand for
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

MOET stands for Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer technology. In this technology hormone is administrated for multiple ovulation followed by artificial insemination and transfer the embryo into surrogate cow.
