33) Explain the Question : The question ask for the maximum number of spectral lines when
an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the 5th excited state to the ground state.
Concept : This question is based on maximum number of spectral lines is given by the formula
:
Number of lines = (n2 – n1) (n2 – n1 + 1)/2
where n2 = principal quantum number of higher energy level, n1 = principal quantum number
of lower energy level.
Solution :
Ground state : n1 = 1
5th excited state : n2 = 6 (since n2 = 1 + 5)
Using the formula :
Number of lines = (n2 – n1) (n2 – n1 + 1)/2
Number of lines = (6 – 1) (6 – 1 + 1)/2
Number of lines = (5 × 6) / 2
Number of lines = 30 / 2 = 15

2. Most intense line → Transition from n2 = ∞ → n1 = 4
This produces the highest energy photon in the series (shortest wavelength, highest
intensity)

Question Explanation :
Solution :
A. s-orbitals: These are spherical in shape and have no specific directional orientation. The
probability of finding an electron is the same in all directions from the nucleus.
B. p-orbitals: These have dumbbell shapes and are oriented along the x, y, and z axes (px,
py, pz). They have directional character.
C. d-orbitals: These have more complex shapes, often with four lobes or a dumbbell with a
donut shape. dz is not double dum-bell.

Explain Question : Given assertion and reason about electrons in an orbit, evaluate their
correctness.
Solution : Both the assertion and reason are incorrect. According to the Pauli's Exclusion
Principle any orbital can accommodate maximum two electrons not any orbit.

54) Question Explanation: Identify which of the given electron configurations belongs to an
s-block element.
Solution:
1s22s22p63s23p63d10 4s1 → Cu(29) → d-block
1s22s22p6 3s23p6 4s1 → K(19) → s-block

Option (2)
Concept:
This question is based on Lother Meyer's Curve.
Solution: Lother Meyer plotted the physical property of atomic volume against the atomic
weight of elements, noticing that elements with similar properties occupied similar positions
on the curve.
Final Answer: option (3)
56) Explain Question: Identify the metallic and non-metallic elements liquid at room
temperature.
Concept: General facts about periodic table.
Solution: Mercury (Hg) is the only common metal that is liquid at room temperature. Bromine
(Br) is the only non-metal that is liquid at room temperature.
Final Answer: 4
Concept:
This question is based on Dobereiner's triad rule.
Solution:
Dobereiner’s triads must:
Fe, Co, and Ni → Atomic masses are very close, and they are not in same group
58)
Explain Question:
Identify the elements located at the peaks of the Lothar Meyer curve.
Concept:
This question is based on Lothar Meyer Curve.
Solution:
Lothar Meyer plotted atomic volume against atomic mass. The curve's peaks represent
elements with the largest atomic volumes, which are the highly electropositive alkali metals
(Li, Na, K, etc.).
59) Question Explanation: Find the block of element M from its ion's configuration.
Concept: Electronic Configuration
Solution: The ion M3+ has 30 electrons ([Ar]3d104s2). The neutral atom M has 33 electrons
(Z=33), which is Arsenic. Its configuration is [Ar]3d104s24p3, making it a p-block element.
Final Answer: Option (2)
60) Explain Question: Find element with similar properties to Li according to Newland’s law
of octaves.
Concept: This question is based on Newland's Octaves.
Solution: Newland’s law states every 8th element has similar properties. Li (Z=3) → 8th
element is Na (Z=11).
Final Answer: 1
BOTANY
61) Solution : Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell and serve as the site for aerobic
respiration. Photophosphorylation occurs in chloroplasts. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is
located inside the matrix (inner compartment), not the outer compartment.
Final Answer : (2)
62) Solution : The stroma of the chloroplast contains enzymes required for the synthesis of
both carbohydrates and proteins. It also contains small, double-stranded circular DNA
molecules and ribosomes. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in mitochondria, not
chloroplasts.
Final Answer : (3)

Concept :
Kingdom Animalia: Phylum Chordata – general characteristics and classification.
Explanation:
A. Option 1: Chordates have dorsal hollow nerve cord, not ventral → Incorrect.
B. Option 2: Vertebrates have a closed circulatory system, not open → Incorrect.
C. Option 3: Not all chordates are vertebrates (e.g., Amphioxus, Ascidia are non-vertebrate
chordates) → Incorrect.
D. Option 4: All vertebrates are chordates → Correct, because vertebrates are a subphylum of
Chordata.
Concept:
This question is based on Vertebrate classification.
Solution:
The correct answer is option 1.
Jawless vertebrates (like Petromyzon and Myxine) are placed under Agnatha.
Gnathostomata → jawed vertebrates.
Lagomorpha → order of mammals (hares, rabbits).
Prototheria → egg-laying mammals (platypus, echidna).

Explain Question: Identify the correct anatomical or physiological feature of the jawless fish
shown.
Concept: Cyclostomata
Solution: The correct answer is option 4 — Circulatory system is closed type.
A. Cyclostomes like lampreys and hagfish possess a closed circulatory system with a two-
chambered heart, allowing efficient blood flow.
A. All living members of the class Cyclostomata are ectoparasites on some fishes.
