building of height 3h from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass m is released on the slide
from rest at a height h from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity u0 = u0 xˆ and falls on

Full Marks : +4 ONLY if (all) the correct option(s) is(are) chosen;

Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.

(A) u0 = 2ghxˆ (B) v = 2gh ( xˆ – zˆ )

(C)  = 60° (D) d / h1 = 2 3

Velocity after collision, only velocity along z-direction change

(A) The blue light is polarized in the plane of incidence.

Sol. For no reflection

(A) The value of the resistance R is 3 .

SECTION 2 (Maximum Marks : 12)

Full Marks : +3 If ONLY the correct option is chosen;

Negative Marks : −1 In all other cases.

velocity . Which of the following statement is correct?

Sol. C.O.A.M. about point O

Solve equation (i) and (ii)

m = 0.1 kg, M = 1 kg, L = 0.20 m

Solve (i) and (ii)

We get,  = 6.98 rad/s

and v = 4.3 m/s

( 0.40  0.50 )  9  10–12

3  0.10  0.5  9  10–12

Sol. For Adiabatic process

 TAV0 –1 = Tf (5V0 ) –1 …(i)

For Isothermal process

Equation (i)  equation (ii)

gravitational acceleration at height

SECTION 3 (Maximum Marks : 24)

Answer (80 or 150 or 220)

For reflection from M2

For refraction from L

And further if I2 is formed at centre of curvature of M1 then

Sol. u = n1C1T + n2C2 T

= ( n1C1 + n2C2 ) T …(i)

Work done = Pv

Divide (i) by (ii)

Moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is

SECTION 4 (Maximum Marks : 12)

Sol. Option (A) is correct answer.

(2) 400 <  < 700 nm R→2

(Q) The quality factor of the circuit (2) 18

Where X L0 = XC0 are at resonant frequencies

Sol. Induced emf  = Bv

 mg – iB = ma [Applying 2nd law]

and magnetic force = iB = 0.12 N

and power dissipated = 0.144 W

also, Terminal velocity = 2 m/s

 Correct match is (D)

• This section contains THREE (03) questions.

Sol. Cu(OH)2 ⋅ CuCO3 → CuO + H2O + CO2

CuFeS2 + O2 → Cu2S + FeS + SO2

FeS + O2 → FeO + SO2

FeO + SiO2 → FeSiO3

4Ag + 8CN− + 2H2O + O2 → 4[Ag(CN)2 ]− + 4OH−

2[Ag(CN)2 ]− + Zn(s) → [Zn(CN)4 ]2− + 2Ag

2. In the following reactions, P, Q, R and S are the major products.

The correct statement(s) about P, Q, R and S is(are)

SECTION 2 (Maximum Marks : 12)

• This section contains FOUR (04) questions.

Full Marks : +3 If ONLY the correct option is chosen;

Negative Marks : −1 In all other cases.
