To find the angle θ between mirror and horizontal surface.
Concept:
This question is based on angle of incidence = angle of reflection.
Solution:
2i = 90 + 10
2i = 100°
i = 50°
So glance angle

Concept:
Balancing chemical equations
Solution:
A balanced chemical equation has the same number of atoms for each element on both the
reactant and product sides, satisfying the law of conservation of mass.
Balanced equation is:
K2Cr2O7 + 4KCl + 6H2SO4 → 2CrO2Cl2 + 6KHSO4 + 3H2O
So, the coefficients are: a = 1, b = 4, c = 6, x = 2, y = 6, z = 3
Final answer
Correct answer is option (4)
48)
Solution: A solution can be stored in a metal container only if the metal is less reactive than
the metal in the salt solution, so that no displacement reaction occurs. Copper is less reactive
than Aluminium (Al), Zinc (Zn), and Iron (Fe). Therefore, copper will not displace any of these
metals from their sulphate solutions.
50) When barium chloride is added to sodium sulphate, a precipitation occurs. It is also a
double displacement reaction in which ions are exchanged. The reaction is given below:
Na2SO4 +BaCl2 ⟶ 2NaCl + BaSO4
In this reaction, a white ppt. of barium sulphate and aqueous sodium chloride are formed. The
solution in water consists only sodium chloride because sodium chloride dissolves in water
while white barium sulphate (precipitate) settles down.

Explain Question:
Question is asking that which component of food would be affected, if the pH of stomach
becomes 7.
Concept:
Process of digestion
Solution:
If the stomach's pH were to rise to 7 (a neutral pH) protein digestion would be severely
affected because the enzyme pipsin which requires highly acidic environment (pH 1.5 -2.5)
would not be activated, so protein digestion would be affected.
Final answer:
Option (3) is correct
Concept:
This question is based on process of digestion.
Solution:
Enzyme A is amylase which breaks down starch into maltose.
Enzyme B is lactase which digest lactose into glucose and glucose molecules.
Enzyme C is maltase which acts on maltose into two glucose molecules.
Enzyme D is invertase which breakdown sucrose into glucose and fructose.
