Section I: Physics
Question 1 (MCQ)

A block of mass \(m\) is attached to a spring of spring constant \(k\) and suspended vertically. If the mass is released from rest when the spring is in its natural length, the maximum extension produced in the spring is:

(A) \(\frac{mg}{k}\)
(B) \(\frac{2mg}{k}\)
(C) \(\frac{mg}{2k}\)
(D) \(\sqrt{\frac{mg}{k}}\)
Correct Answer: (B)

Solution: By Work-Energy Theorem: \(mgx = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 \implies x = \frac{2mg}{k}\).

Question 2 (MCQ)

A disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of angle \(\theta\). The acceleration of the center of mass of the disk is:

(A) \(g \sin\theta\)
(B) \(\frac{1}{2} g \sin\theta\)
(C) \(\frac{2}{3} g \sin\theta\)
(D) \(\frac{3}{4} g \sin\theta\)
Correct Answer: (C)

Solution: Acceleration \(a = \frac{g \sin\theta}{1 + I/(MR^2)}\). For a disk, \(I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2 \implies a = \frac{2}{3}g\sin\theta\).

Question 3 (MCQ)

Two charges \(+q\) and \(-q\) are placed at a distance \(2a\) apart. The electric potential at a point on the equatorial axis at a distance \(r\) (\(r \gg a\)) from the center of the dipole is:

(A) \(\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{r}\)
(B) \(\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{2qa}{r^2}\)
(C) Zero
(D) \(\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{r^2}\)
Correct Answer: (C)

Solution: Equatorial potential of an electric dipole is zero because distances to \(+q\) and \(-q\) are identical.

Question 4 (MCQ)

A Carnot engine operating between temperatures \(T_1 = 500\text{ K}\) and \(T_2 = 300\text{ K}\) absorbs \(600\text{ J}\) of heat per cycle. The work done per cycle is:

(A) \(240\text{ J}\)
(B) \(360\text{ J}\)
(C) \(120\text{ J}\)
(D) \(400\text{ J}\)
Correct Answer: (A)

Solution: Efficiency \(\eta = 1 – \frac{300}{500} = 0.40\). Work \(W = \eta \times Q_1 = 0.40 \times 600 = 240\text{ J}\).

Question 5 (MCQ)

A wire of length \(L\) carries a current \(I\) along the positive x-axis in a magnetic field \(\vec{B} = B_0(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} – \hat{k})\). The magnitude of force on the wire is:

(A) \(I L B_0 \sqrt{5}\)
(B) \(I L B_0 \sqrt{3}\)
(C) \(2 I L B_0\)
(D) \(I L B_0\)
Correct Answer: (A)

Solution: \(\vec{F} = I(L\hat{i} \times B_0(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} – \hat{k})) = ILB_0(2\hat{k} + \hat{j})\). Magnitude \(|\vec{F}| = ILB_0\sqrt{2^2+1^2} = ILB_0\sqrt{5}\).

Question 6 (MCQ)

In Young’s double slit experiment, if the distance between slits is halved and distance to screen is doubled, the fringe width becomes:

(A) Half
(B) Double
(C) Four times
(D) Unchanged
Correct Answer: (C)

Solution: \(\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\). New fringe width \(\beta’ = \frac{\lambda (2D)}{(d/2)} = 4\beta\).

Question 7 (MCQ)

(A) \(\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}\ \text{\AA}\)
(B) \(\frac{1.227}{\sqrt{V}}\ \text{\AA}\)
(C) \(\frac{122.7}{V}\ \text{\AA}\)
(D) \(\frac{12.27}{V}\ \text{\AA}\)
Correct Answer: (A)

Solution: \(\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{150}{V}}\ \text{\AA} = \frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}\ \text{\AA}\).

Question 8 (MCQ)

A nucleus \(X\) decays as: \(X \xrightarrow{\alpha} X_1 \xrightarrow{\beta^-} X_2 \xrightarrow{\alpha} X_3\). If \(X\) has atomic number 92 and mass number 238, those of \(X_3\) are:

(A) 87, 230
(B) 89, 230
(C) 88, 230
(D) 86, 232
Correct Answer: (B)

Solution: Mass number \(= 238 – 4 – 0 – 4 = 230\). Atomic number \(= 92 – 2 + 1 – 2 = 89\).

Question 9 (Numerical Type)

A uniform rod of length \(1\text{ m}\) and mass \(2\text{ kg}\) is pivoted at one end. A force of \(6\text{ N}\) is applied perpendicular to the rod at its free end. The angular acceleration produced is ________ \(\text{rad/s}^2\).

Correct Answer: 9

Solution: Torque \(\tau = F \times L = 6\). Moment of inertia \(I = \frac{1}{3}mL^2 = \frac{2}{3}\). Angular acceleration \(\alpha = \tau/I = 6 / (2/3) = 9\text{ rad/s}^2\).

Question 10 (Numerical Type)

In a series LCR circuit with \(R = 10\ \Omega\), \(L = 0.1\text{ H}\), and \(C = 10\ \mu\text{F}\), the resonant angular frequency \(\omega_0\) is ________ \(\text{rad/s}\).

Correct Answer: 1000

Solution: \(\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.1 \times 10^{-5}}} = \frac{1}{10^{-3}} = 1000\text{ rad/s}\).

(C) \(n = 1, l = 0, m_l = 0, m_s = +1/2\)
(D) \(n = 2, l = 2, m_l = +1, m_s = -1/2\)
Correct Answer: (D)

Solution: For \(n=2\), maximum allowed value for \(l\) is \(n-1 = 1\). Thus \(l=2\) is invalid.

(A) \([A]_0\)
(B) \([A]_0^2\)
(C) Independent of \([A]_0\)
(D) \(\frac{1}{[A]_0}\)
Correct Answer: (A)

(A) 3-Hydroxybutanal
(B) 2-Hydroxybutanal
(C) 3-Hydroxybutan-1-one
(D) 4-Hydroxybutanal
