Given u = –25 cm, v = –100 cm.
from lens formula.

Solving we get f = cm = .

Now P = = + 3 D.

23)

Given : Mass = m ; Initial velocity, u = 0 ; Distance = s ; Time = t ; Force, F = ?

 From 2nd equation of motion

Force F = ma ⇒ or

24)

F = Gm1m2/R2 = (6.67 x 10-11) (3)(75)/(1)2= 1.5 x 10-8 N

25) The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than in a denser medium.

26)
In ΔABC
20° + 120° + θ = 180°
θ = 40°
so angle of incidence at second mirror
90° – 40° = 50°
so angle of reflection = 50°

27) m = – (real image is inverted)

⇒ u = –5f = – 150 cm
So, the object distance is 150 cm.

Then v = = +37.5 cm
So the distance between object and image is 187.5 cm.

28) Light having maximum wavelength will scatter minimum.

Since red colour has maximum wavelength.
So, Red colour is least scattered.

29)

When a particle is in straight line motion with uniform velocity i.e., acceleration is zero.
 From newton’s 2nd law of motion F = ma
a = 0, F=m×0=0
F=0
then object will have move with same speed.

30) As we know
Here initial momentum and final momentum (zero) is same.
So change in momentum is same.
Also equal retarding force is applied.
So time taken will be same i.e. t1 = t2.

SECTION-B : CHEMISTRY

31) On mixing aqueous solution of silver nitrate and sodium bromide, precipitate of silver
bromide is formed.

32)

In the first case maximum bubbles are formed so here W will be calcium metal.
In the second case no bubbles are formed because gold do not react with acid so here X will be
Gold (Au) metal.
In the third case no bubbles are formed because zinc do not react with cold water so here Y
will be zinc.
In the fourth case maximum bubbles are formed so here Z will be magenese.

33) Blue vitriol(X) that is copper sulphate regains its original colour after adding water. On
heating limestone (Y), it releases CO2 gas, leaving behind calcium oxide. On addition of water,
CaO reacts with it to form slaked lime which is exothermic reaction and results in boiling of
water.

34)

Conversion of KMnO4 to MnSO4 is reduction due to gain of 2 electrons and conversion of

FeSO4 to Fe2(SO4)3 is oxidation due to loss of 1 electron.

35) Acidic oxides - SO2, SO3,CO2

Basic oxides - CaO, MgO
Neutral oxides - N2O, NO, CO
Amphoteric oxides - Al2O3, ZnO, PbO
Thus, correct sets are (i) and (iv)
36) Magnesium hydroxide {Mg(OH)2} - Acts as an antacid
Bleaching powder {CaOCl2} - Disinfectant
Sodium bicarbonate {NaHCO3} - Used in soda fire extinguishers
Sodium hydroxide {NaOH} - Manufacture of washing soap

37) Mass of electron is negligible, thus doubling it will not change anything.
We know that, Mass of atom = mass of proton + mass of neutron.
12
6C has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
Atomic mass of 6C12 = 6 ×1 + 6 ×1 = 12 u {Since Mass of proton ≃ mass of neutron ≃ 1 u}
Now, the mass of the neutron is halved i.e. the mass of one neutron = 0.5 u
Then, new atomic mass of 6C12 = 6 × 1 + 6 × 0.5 = 6 + 3 = 9 u

Thus, reduction in the mass of 6C12 = = 25 %

38)

A solution of the mixture containing equal moles of each of CH3COOH and NaOH has a pH
more than 7.

39) 'X' and oxygen form compounds P and Q.

N2O3 N2O5
Ratio 3 : 5

40) mole =
For calcium carbonate
Given mass = mole × molar mass
= 2 × 100
= 200 g
For H2O
10 × 18 = 180 g
For C12H22O11
0.2 × 346 = 69.2 g
For CO2
2 × 44 = 88 g

41) = 2, 8, 1
= 2, 8, 8, 1

42) 13Al → 2, 8, 3
+3
Al → 2, 8

43) Since mass percentage of Ca in CaCO3 = 40% and law of constant proportion is true. So,
the mass percentage of Ca in 5 g CaCO3 will also be 40%.
Hence, 40% of 5 g =
= 2 g.

44) P and Q have same atomic number (8). Configuration K L

2 6
∴ P and Q have 2 electron shells

45) Average atomic mass of Bromine =

= 80.006

46) Iron is more reactive than silver and copper, hence it will displace them from their salt
solutions and get oxidised.

47)

48)

NaCl (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → NaHSO4 (aq) + HCl (g)

Dry HCl gas is not acidic but HCl solution is acidic. This is because in the presence of water,
HCl dissociates to give H+ ions.
So, dry HCl gas does not change the colour of any (blue or red) dry litmus paper. As it is acidic
in nature, it changes the colour of wet blue litmus paper to red but it does not change the
colour of wet red litmus paper.

49)

Roasting is the process of heating ore in air to obtai the oxide. It is an exothermic reaction. It
is used after the concentration of ores.

50)

Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)

 Ionic equations: Cu(s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → Cu2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
Copper is oxidised to Cu2+ and Ag+ is reduced to Ag.

51) Ligament breaks (ligaments connects bone to bone).

52) More energy is produced in aerobic respiration than anaerobic respiration because in
anaerobic respiration food is incompletely oxidized.

55)

X is potassium hydroxide (KOH). It absorbs CO2.

56) Aerobic respiration involves mitochondria.

57) If you chew a piece of bread long enough, it will begin to taste sweet because salivary

Insects like ants, grasshoppers are uricotelic. They convert nitrogenous waste into uric acid to
conserve water and excrete it as a solid waste.
