Analyzing bulb states in a parallel-series circuit.
Concept:
Combination of Resistors (Series and Parallel)
Solution:
In this circuit, bulbs A and B are in series with each other, and this pair is in parallel with bulb
C. Bulb D is connected in parallel with the entire set. If a bulb in a parallel branch burns out, it
does not affect the other branches. However, bulb D is special here—because it is connected
across a "short circuit" path or simply in a way that it won't affect the main supply to the
others, its failure is unnoticeable to the rest of the circuit.
If bulb D burns out, the circuit paths for A, B, and C remain complete. Therefore, they continue
to receive current and stay lighted.

Final answer: Option(3)

30) Question Explanation:

Determine the correct IUPAC name of the coordination compound .

Concept: Anionic metals end in -ate.

Solution:
To name the complex , we follow IUPAC rules:
1. Cation: The outside cation is Potassium. No prefix (like tri-) is used for the counterion.
2. Ligands: There are six cyanide groups, so we use hexacyanido.
3. Metal: Since the coordination sphere is an anion, the metal name ends in -
ferrate.
4. Oxidation State: Let the oxidation state of Iron be x.
It is written in Roman numerals as (III).
Combining these: Potassium hexacyanidoferrate(III).

Final Answer: Option(3)

31) Question Explanation: Identify the ion with the highest magnetic moment among the
given options.

Concept: Magnetic moment depends on unpaired electrons.

Solution:
The spin-only magnetic moment (μ) is proportional to the number of unpaired electrons (n),
where BM. Maximum magnetic moment means maximum number of unpaired
electrons.

We determine the electronic configuration and number of unpaired electrons (n) for each ion:
- : (Diamagnetic).
- : [Ar], n = 0 (Diamagnetic).
- : (Paramagnetic, maximum unpaired electrons).
- : [Ne], n = 0 (Diamagnetic).

Manganese(II) ion has the highest number of unpaired electrons (5) and thus the maximum
magnetic moment.

33) Question Explanation:

Find the decreasing order of atomic radii.

Concept:
This question is based on Lanthanide Contraction.

Solution:
As the atomic number increases across the lanthanide series, the atomic and ionic radii
generally decrease due to poor shielding by 4f electrons, a phenomenon known as lanthanide
contraction. However, Europium (Eu) has an exceptionally large atomic radius due to its stable
half-filled f-orbital configuration, which leads to weak metallic bonding.
General trend: Ce > Gd > Lu.
Due to its 4f7 configuration, Eu has an unusually large size.
The correct order is Eu > Ce > Gd > Lu.

Question Explanation:
The reaction involves dehydration and rearrangement of a 1,2-diol (vicinal diol) under acidic
conditions.

Concept:
This is a classic Pinacol–Pinacolone rearrangement, where a vicinal diol undergoes acid-
catalyzed dehydration followed by a 1,2-shift to form a ketone.

Solution:
 A. In acidic medium, one –OH group gets protonated and leaves as H2O, forming a
carbocation.

B. To stabilize this carbocation, a 1,2-methyl shift occurs (methyl migrates preferentially

due to better carbocation stabilization).

C. Simultaneously, the remaining –OH group converts into a carbonyl (C=O).

D. Finally, deprotonation gives the rearranged ketone (pinacolone derivative).

Question Explanation: This question asks to determine which of the provided substituted
cyclohexene or cyclohexane structures is capable of exhibiting geometrical (cis-trans)
isomerism.

Concept : This question is based on Geometrical Isomerism.

Solution : Cycloalkenes containing up to seven carbon atoms do not exhibit geometrical

(cis–trans) isomerism across the double bond because the trans isomer would involve
excessive angle strain, making it unstable and hence non-existent. Therefore, options 1, 2, and
4 cannot show geometrical isomerism.

Option 3 show geometrical isomerism

48) Question Explanation:

Calculating pOH pH for a mixture of two weak diprotic acids.
 Concept:
lonic Equilibrium - Mixture of weak acids.

Solution:
Since Kal >> Ka2 for both H2CO3 and H2S we only consider the first dissociation step. When
equal volumes are mixed, the concentration of each acid is halved ( 0.05M ) The total [ H ] is
+

calculated using the combined strength of both weak acids.

Calculation:
New Concentration (C) = 0.05M for both acids.

[H+ ]=

pH = -log(10-4) = 4
pOH = 14 - 4 = 10
Difference = 10 – 4 = 6

57) 1) Asking About:

We need to determine which principle the hydraulic press is based on.
2) Concept:
A hydraulic press is a device that uses an incompressible fluid to transmit force from one
piston to another. It works on the principle that pressure applied to a confined fluid is
transmitted equally in all directions.
This is described by Pascal's Law, which states:
"A change in pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished
to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container."
3) Formula:
The force transformation in a hydraulic press is given by:

where: .

A. F1 and F2 are the forces applied on the small and large pistons, respectively,
B. A1 and A2 are the cross-sectional areas of the small and large pistons, respectively.

Since pressure is the same on both pistons, we can rearrange the equation:
This shows that a small force applied on a smaller piston results in a larger force on a larger piston,
enabling mechanical advantage.
3. Pascal's law • (Correct)Pascal's law explains how pressure is transmitted equally in all directions,
which is exactly how a hydraulic press functions.
4. Reynolds number X (Incorrect)

A. Reynolds number is used to predict the type of fluid flow (laminar or turbulent) and does not
govern hydraulic presses.

Thus, the correct principle is Pascal's Law.

5) Final Answer:
Hydraulic press works based on Pascal's Law.
6) Correct Option:
Option 3: Pascal's Law
Point of intersection of y2 = 4x & x2 = 4y are (0, 0) & (4, 4)
Angle of intersection at (0, 0)
