43) Explanation Question: Correct curve for 3P orbital

Concept: Graph of schrodinger wave equation
Solution: for orbital
Radial node = n-l-1 = 3 - 1 - 1 = 1

Wrong curve
actually in ψ2 (r) v/s r graph peak decreasing
 3 P-orbital

Final Answer

The correct option is (4)

44) Explain Question: Find the incorrect order of ionisation potential among elements.
Concept: This question is based on Ionisation energy trends
Solution: The correct trend for Group 3 is Sc > Y > La. Ionization energy decreases down the
group as atomic size increases, making it easier to remove the outermost electron. The
lanthanide contraction affects elements after lanthanum, not Lanthanum itself in this
comparison.
Final Answer: 3

Question Explanation: Find the volume of 0.1MCa(OH)2

Concept: Acid base titration

Solution:
For neutralization: Equivalents of acid = Equivalents of base
M1 × V1 × n1(acid) = M2 × V2 × n2(base)
Oxalic acid (H2C2O4) is a dibasic acid, so n1 = 2.
 Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 is a diacidic base, so n2 = 2.
0.05M × 40ml × 2 = 0.1M × V2 × 2
4 = 0.2 × V2

V2 = = 20 ml
Thus, 20 ml of 0.1MCa(OH)2 is required.

Final Answer: 20

55) |x2 + 4x + 3| = –(2x + 5)

Solve if (2x + 5) < 0
|x2 + 4x + 3| = 2x + 5

Solve and get

But 2x + 5 < 0, So, x = –4,
x=

56) ⇒ log\ (4x – 3) > 2

⇒ 4x – 3 > 9
⇒ 4x > 12
⇒x>3

Question Explanation: Simplifying a logarithmic expression with multiple bases.

Concept: Reciprocal and Base Change properties of Logarithms.

Solution:

=1

Final Answer: 1

58) 3x = x2 ⇒ x = 0 or 3, (x > 0)

59) Now, =1+ =1+

⇒ Maximum value of occurs at x = – .

∴ Maximum value of =1+ = 1 + 40 = 41

60) D ≥ 0 and f(3) > 0 and

Now common value of a is

61)
RHS –x2 + 5x – 10

Max. Value =
62) Let f (x) = (k − 2) x2 + 8x + k + 4
f (x) > 0 ⇒ a > 0 and D < 0
k − 2 > 0 and 64 − 4(k − 2)(k + 4) < 0
k > 2 and 16 − (k2 + 2k − 8) < 0
k > 2 and k2 + 2k − 24 > 0
k > 2 and (k < −6 or k > 4)
As it can be observed that k can take value greater
than 4
⇒ k > 4.
∴ least integral value of k = 5.

63)

x2 – x + 4 = 0 ...(1)
A = 1, B = –1, C = 4
D = (–1)2 – 4 × 1 × 4 = 1 – 16 = –15
Roots of equation (1) are imaginary.
(1) have one root common with
ax2 + bx + 1 = 0 ...(2)
so both roots will be common

64) Let

similarly
,

≤ –2

65) Since, α + β + γ = 0
So, (α + β)(β + γ)(γ + α) = –αβγ = –2

66) Parabola is upward a > 0

intersecting x-axis at two points ⇒ D > 0
f(0) < 0 ⇒ c < 0
vertex lies in IIIrd quadratic
 ⇒ ⇒
b and a are of same sign
⇒b>0

67) Since coefficient of x2 is positive the graph of f(x) = x2 + 2(p – 3)x + 9 opens upward. If we
have f(6) < 0 then one root will be less than 6 and other greater than 6. ⇒ 36 + 12(p – 3) + 9 <
0
⇒ 12p + 9 < 0
⇒ p < –3/4
p ∈ (–∞, –3/4)

68)

∵ Roots are c and d

(x – a) (x – b) + k = 1(x – c) (x – d)
⇒ (x – c) (x – d) – k = 1(x – a) (x – b)

Hence roots are a, b

x2(1 + a) + 2x – 3 = 0
1 + a → 0 ⇒ a → –1
