Q1. A rise in the income of the consumer leads to a fall in the demand for commodity ‘x’. What type of good is commodity ‘x’?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. The radius of gyration of a solid disc about one of its diameter is given by
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Moment of inetia of axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane:

 I = ½ MR2

Using perpendicular axis theorem   Ix +Iy = Iz  ,so  2Id = ½ MR2

Moment of inetia of  along its diameter  Id = ¼MR2

And the radius of gyration    MK2  = ¼MR2   


 


Q3. One thousand small water droplets of equal size combine to form a big drop. The ratio of the final surface energy to the total initial surface energy is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q4. In β-decay, the nucleus emits.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray (fast energetic electron or positron), and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus. For example, beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron, or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron (positron emission), thus changing the nuclide type.

Q5.
The ionization constant of acetic acid is . Calculate the degree of dissociation of acetic acid in its 0.05 M solution. Calculate the concentration of acetate ion in the solution and its pH.

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Ka = and pH=-log(Cα).

Q6. The mouth part of cockroach which is compared to tongue is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

A median flexible lobe called as hypopharynx act as tongue. It lies within the cavity enclosed by the mouth parts.

Q7. A peculiar group of dual organism which are formed by an association between an algae and a fungus.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi in a symbiotic relationship. The combined lichen has properties different from those of its component organisms.

Q8.

In the following sequence of reactions, the alkene is converted to  compound   


The compound  is --------- ?

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The given sequence of conversion  steps  represent Ozonolysis of 2-Butene , which follows the following path ,

1 .   Formation of an unstable intermediate / ozonide

2 . Cleavage   of the  intermediate / ozonide  by  to smaller molecules , giving out the compound   , which is  CH3 CHO  (  Ethanal )  

 

The reaction is well depicted as below ,

Q9. Fiscal deficit is that part of total government expenditure which is met by
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Fiscal deficit arises when government expenditure is more than government revenue and therefore the balance is met through borrowings.

Q10. Balance of current account includes
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
