1) Explain Question:
Analyzing a v-t graph to find the duration of constant velocity.

Concept:
Slope of v-t graph (Acceleration) and Geometry of Motion.

Solution:
The graph consists of three parts: acceleration (O to A), uniform motion (A to B), and
deceleration (B to C).
By using the slopes given by the 45° angles, we find the time spent in the accelerating and
decelerating phases.
Subtracting these from the total journey time reveals the duration of uniform motion.

Calculation:

A. Phase 1 (O to A): The slope (tan 45°) represents acceleration.

A. Phase 3 (B to C): The slope again involves a 45° angle (deceleration).

Similar to Phase 1, t3 = 3 s

A. Phase 2 (A to B - Uniform Motion): Let this time be t2.

Total Time = t1 + t2 + t3

Chlorine atom (Cl) ground state configuration:

For formation of Chlorine trifluoride, chlorine needs 3 unpaired electrons to form 3 bonds.
In ground state, Cl has only 1 unpaired electron.
After first excitation, one electron gets promoted and chlorine has 3 unpaired electrons.
So, ClF₃ is formed in:
Correct Option : In first excitation state

46) from the given reaction, it is clear that 1 mol S8 will give 8 moles of SO3.

PART-3 : MATHEMATICS

51) Question Explanation : We have to find value of given expression.

Concept : Properties of logarithm
Solution :

4 – x = 18x2
18 x2 + x – 4 = 0
18 x2 + 9x – 8x – 4 = 0
9x(2x + 1) – 4 (2x + 1) = 0

⇒ and

As x > 0 ⇒ x =

So,
=6–2=4
Final Answer : Option (3)

52) If x2 + 4x + 3 = (x + 3)(x + 1) ≥ 0, x ∈ R – (–3, – 1) ... (1)

The given equation becomes, x2 + 6x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = –2, –4 ... (2)
from (1), (2) ⇒ x = –4
If x2 + 4x + 3 < 0, x ∈ (–3, –1) ... (3)
The equation becomes, (x2 + 4x + 3) + 2x + 5 = 0
or x2 + 2x – 2 = 0 ⇒ ... (4)
from (3), (4) ⇒

Question Explanation: Maximizing a product given a fixed sum using AM-GM.

Concept: AM-GM Inequality.

Solution:
We want to maximize a2b3c4 with a + b + c = 18.
Divide a into 2 parts, b into 3 parts, and c into 4 parts:

.
Using AM GM

⇒ a2b3c4 ≤ 29·22·33·44
⇒ max. (a2b3c4) = 21933.

Final Answer: Option(1)
