Explain Question: Self inductance depends on permeability, turns squared, area and
inversely length. Since turns per unit length constant, increasing side length three times
increases inductance proportionally three times.
Concept: L ∝ μN²A/l. With constant turns density and proportional scaling of dimensions,
inductance varies directly with linear dimension.
Solution:
Number of turns of the coil per unit length of the frame is constant i.e.
= constant ⇒ N ∝ a
Self inductance = μ0n2A
= μ0n2A (3a × n)
⇒ Self inductance ∝ a
So, if a' = 3a then self inductance will become 3 times.
4) Explain Question: Average velocity equals displacement over total time. Instantaneous

Final Answer: (C)
19) Explain Question: Rigid body has constant distance between particles. Therefore no
relative motion between its points, making statement C incorrect.
Concept: Rigid body definition prohibits internal relative displacement.
Solution:
Option C is incorrect, because in rigid body distance between 2 points is not changed, so there
will be not relative motion.

Solution: Use the ideal gas law to find the total moles of the mixture. Set up a system of two
equations: one for the total moles and one for the total moles of O2 consumed. Solve to find the
moles of each component and the mole fraction.
Calculation:
For a gaseous mixture C2H6 and C2H4
PV = nRT
∴ 1 × 40 = n × 0.082 × 400
∴ Total mole of (C2H6 + C2H4) = 1.2195
Let mole of C2H6 and C2H4 be a, b respectively.
a + b = 1.2195 ........(i)
C2H6 + (7/2)O2 —→ 2CO2 + 3H2O
C2H4 + 3O2 —→ 2CO2 + 2H2O
∴ Mole of O2 needed for complete reaction of mixture = 7a/2 + 3b = 130/32 ......(ii)
By eq. (i) and (ii)
a = 0.808 ; b = 0.4115

Question Explanation:
Excess HBr/heat cleaves the ether and adds to the alkene.
Concept:
This question is based on Ether Cleavage & Markovnikov's Addition
Solution:
This reaction involves two transformations due to the excess HBr and heat:
A. Cleavage of Ether: The alkyl aryl ether (p-methoxy group) is cleaved by HBr. The C(aryl)-O
bond is strong, so the C(methyl)-O bond breaks, converting the -OCH3 group to a phenolic -OH
group.
B. Addition to Alkene: HBr adds across the double bond according to Markovnikov's rule. The
H⁺ adds to the carbon atom that results in the most stable carbocation intermediate (the
benzylic position). The Br⁻ then attacks this benzylic carbocation. Both reactions occur,
leading to the product .
