Concept : Conservation of mechanical energy.
Solution : The journey from x = 0 to x = 3b/2 is divided into two parts with different potential
energies. The total time T is the sum of the time taken for each part (T = T1 + T2). We are
given E = 3U0/2.

• In this region, the potential energy U = 0.
• The kinetic energy is K1 = E – U = 3U0/2 – 0 = 3U0/2.
• The velocity is v1 = √[2K1/m] = √[2(3U0/2)/m] = √[3U0/m].
• The time taken is T₁ = Distance / v1 = b / √[3U0/m] = b√(m/3U0).
2. Time for Region 2 (from x = b to x = 3b/2):
• In this region, the potential energy U = U0.
• The kinetic energy is K2 = E – U = 3U0/2 - U0 = U0/2.
• The velocity is v₂ = √[2K2/m] = √[2(U0/2)/m] = √[U0/m].
• The distance is 3b/2 – b = b/2.
• The time taken is T2 = Distance / v2 = (b/2) / √[U0/m] = (b/2)√(m/U0).
3. Total Time:
• T = T1 + T2 = b√(m/3U0) + (b/2)√(m/U0)

Explain the question:

Determine bond length order in bicarbonate ion.
Concept:
Resonance and Bond Order
Solution:
1. Bond x (C — OH): This is a pure single bond (Bond Order ≈1). It is the longest bond.
2. Bonds y (C = O) and z (C — 0¯): These two bonds participate in resonance. In the
actual bicarbonate ion, the negative charge is delocalized, making bonds y and z
equivalent with a Bond Order of ≈ 1.5.

25) Question Explanation:

The question asks for the shape of the cation formed if the corresponding anion has a see-saw
shape. This typically involves removing a lone pair electron domain to form the cation.

Concept:
A see-saw shape corresponds to a central atom with four bonding pairs and one lone pair, part
of a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry.
Forming a +1 cation from such a species involves removing the lone pair electron domain.

Solution:
1. Anion Shape (See-saw): 4 bonding pairs +1 lone pair = 5 electron domains.
2. Cation Formation: Removal of the lone pair electron domain.
3. Cation Configuration: Results in 4 bonding pairs +0 lone pairs = 4 electron domains.
4. Cation Shape: A molecule with four electron domains and zero lone pairs has a tetrahedral
molecular geometry.
Theoretically, the correct shape of the cation formed is tetrahedral.

2(sinθ + 1) = sinθ(6sinθ + 6)
⇒ sin2θ + 2sinθ + 1 = 3sin2θ + 3sinθ
⇒ 2sin2θ + sinθ – 1 = 0

⇒ sinθ = , –1 (reject)

[sin(α – β) + cos(α + 2β)sinβ]2 = 4 cosα sinβ sin(α + β)

Use : sin(A – B), sin(A + B)
cos(A + B)
(sinα cosβ – cosαsinβ (1 – cos2β) – 2sinα sin2βcosβ)2 = 4cosα sinβ sinα cosβ + 4cos2α sin2β
divide by cos2αsin2β, sinβ ≠ 0
we get (3 – 8sin2β)2 = 16

sin2β = or
on check sinβ = 0 also satisfies system of equation

[sin(α – β) + cos(α + 2β)sinβ]2 = 4 cosα sinβ sin(α + β)

Use : sin(A – B), sin(A + B)
cos(A + B)
(sinα cosβ – cosαsinβ (1 – cos2β) – 2sinα sin2βcosβ)2 = 4cosα sinβ sinα cosβ + 4cos2α sin2β
divide by cos2αsin2β, sinβ ≠ 0
we get (3 – 8sin2β)2 = 16

51) Given
a3 + b3 + c3 = (a + b + c)3
As we known that
(a + b + c)3 = a3 + b3 + c3 + 3(a + b)(b + c)(c + a)
⇒ (a + b)(b + c)(c + a) = 0
⇒ (sin x + cos x – 2) (sin x + cos x – 1) (2 sin x – 1) = 0
⇒ sin x + cos x = 2 not possible

sin x + cos x = 1, sin x =

Question Explanation: Finding n such that the ratio of two series sums is an integer.

Concept: Sum of first n natural numbers (powers 2 and 3).

Solution: Apply the standard formulas for the sum of the first 2 n cubes and the sum of the
first n squares.
Simplify the resulting fraction to find the condition under which the expression remains an
integer.

Sum of cubes (up to 2 n):

Sum of squares (up to n):

Expression

Using polynomial division:

For E to be an integer, (n + 1) must be a divisor of 6.
Since n is a positive integer, n + 1 > 1.
Possible values for n + 1: 2, 3, 6.
Possible values for n: 1, 2, 5.
Sum of values of n = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8.

Final Answer: 8​​
