Question Explanation: Find the Young’s modulus of a wire from the given
stress–strain (or stress–extension) relationship for a wire of 1 m length.

Concept: This question is based on Hooke’s law and the definition of Young’s modulus
as the ratio of stress to strain.

Solution
Given: Slope = (ΔL / L) / (F / A) = (2 × 10–6) / (4000 × 103 × 1)
= 1/2 × 10–9
We know,
1 / Y = (ΔL / L) / (F / A)
⇒ Y = 2 × 109 N/m2

Final Answer : The correct option is (1)

4)

Question Explanation: In this question, a rubber string of length 8 cm and density

1.5 kg/m3 is suspended vertically from the ceiling. We are asked to find the increase in
its length due to its own weight.
Concept: This question is based on Young’s modulus and elongation due to self-
weight.

Solution: For a wire or string hanging under its own weight, the elongation is given
by:
ΔL = (ρ g L2) / (2Y)
Given:
ρ = 1.5 kg/m3
g = 9.8 m/s2
L = 8 cm = 0.08 m
Y = 5 × 108 N/m2

Substitute in the formula:

ΔL = (1.5 × 9.8 × (0.08)2) / (2 × 5 × 108)
ΔL = (1.5 × 9.8 × 0.0064) / (1 × 109)
ΔL = (0.09408) / (1 × 109)
ΔL = 9.4 × 10–11 m ≈ 9.6 × 10–11 m

Final Answer: 9.6 × 10–11 m

5)

Question Explanation: Four wires of the same material are under the same tension. We
must determine which wire shows the largest extension.
Concept: This question is based on the elongation formula:
ΔL = (F L) / (A Y) ⇒ ΔL ∝ L / r² (since F and Y are constant).
Solution:
Let’s compute L / r² for each wire (converting diameters to radii in mm):
(1) Length = 50 cm = 0.5 m, diameter = 0.5 mm → r = 0.25 mm
L / r² = 0.5 / (0.25)² = 0.5 / 0.0625 = 8
(2) Length = 100 cm = 1.0 m, diameter = 1 mm → r = 0.5 mm
L / r² = 1 / (0.5)² = 1 / 0.25 = 4
(3) Length = 200 cm = 2.0 m, diameter = 2 mm → r = 1 mm
L / r² = 2 / (1)² = 2
(4) Length = 300 cm = 3.0 m, diameter = 3 mm → r = 1.5 mm
L / r² = 3 / (1.5)² = 3 / 2.25 ≈ 1.33
Since ΔL ∝ L / r², the wire with the largest L / r² (i.e., option 1) will have the greatest
elongation.
Final Answer: Option (1)

6) Y =

Slope ∝ A

P+ =H

P=H–

P = 3 × 103 –
P = 2067 watt

Final Answer: The correct option is (2).

11) Question Explanation:
The question asks how much time a pendulum clock loses/gains at a higher temperature due to
thermal expansion.

Concept:
Thermal expansion affects pendulum period.

Solution:
The time difference occurred in 24 hours (86400 seconds) is given by

= 1/2 (1.2 × 10–5) (20) (86400)

1.04 sec (slow)

This is loss of time as θ is greater than θo. As the temperature increases, the time period also
increases. Thus, the clock goes slow.

Final answer: The Correct option is (2)

Find oxide which cannot act reducing agent.

Concept:
oxidising and reducing agent

Solution:
A substance acts as a reducing agent if it can be oxidized, meaning the oxidation state of the
central atom ca increase.
1. In SO2, the oxidation state of S is +4. Since the maximum oxidation state of sulfur is +6, it
can be oxidized and act as a reducing agent.

2. In NO2, the oxidation state of N is +4. Since the maximum oxidation state of nitrogen is
+5, it can be oxidized and act as a reducing agent.

3. In CO2, the oxidation state of C is +4. Carbon is in its maximum oxidation state (+4) and
cannot be further oxidized. Therefore, it cannot act as a reducing agent.

4. In ClO2, the oxidation state of Cl is +4. Since chlorine can have oxidation states up to +7, it
can be oxidized and act as a reducing agent.

44) Question Explanation: Calculate the hardness in ppm of CaCO3​ equivalents from CaSO4​
concentration.

Concept: Hardness of Water (ppm CaCO3​ equivalents).

Solution:
ppm means mass of solute in 106 gm of H2O
Now moles of CaSO4 = moles of CaCO3
So in 1 litre of Soln(H2O) [as very dilute]
10–3 Moles CaSO4 = 10–3 moles of CaCO3
1000 ml of H2O → 10–3 × 100 gmCaCO3
→ 10–1 gm CaCO3
So 106ml of H2O
≡ 106gm H2O will have → 100 gm CaCO3
(Taking = 1)
n
hence sol will be 100 ppm in CaCO3

Final Answer: The correct option is (1).

Find an example of comproportionation reaction.

Concept:

A comproportionation reaction is a redox reaction where two reactants containing the same
element in different oxidation states form a product with that element in an intermediate
oxidation state.
In option 3: H2S + SO2 → S + H2O
Oxidation state of S in H2S is –2 and in SO2 is +4, Both react to form elemental sulfur (S) which
has an oxidation state of 0.
As two different oxidation states of the same element combine to form an intermediate state
(–2 < 0 < +4), it is a comproportionation rection.
Option (1) is a disproportionation reaction. option (2) is a standard redox reaction. Option (4)
is a non-redox acid-base neutralization.
