each. Answers to these questions should in the range of 50 to 80 words.
(v) Section–D – question no. - 23 to 25 are long answer type questions carrying 5 marks
each. Answer to these questions should be in the range of 80 to 120 words.
(vi) There is no overall choice. However, internal choices have been provided in some
questions. A student has to attempt only one of the alternatives in such questions.

 4. What is the unit of physical quantity which is implied by the area of D-T graph?
5. What is called a substance that dissolves the other component in it?
Directions (Q. Nos. 6 to 8): Each of the following questions consists of two statements; one
is Assertion (A) and the other is Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions
from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:
a) Assertion and Reason both are correct and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
b) Assertion and Reason both are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
d) Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.

6. Assertion: Colloidal solution appears as homogeneous mixture.

Reason: The particles of a colloid are uniformly spread throughout the solution.
7. Assertion: Osmosis is a special case of diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane.
Reason: Diffusion is important in exchange of gases and water in the life of a cell.
8. Assertion: If an object can travel with non- uniform acceleration if its velocity changes at a
non-uniform rate. It is said to be non- uniform acceleration.
Reason: Motion of freely falling body is uniform acceleration.
9. Read the paragraph and answer the any four questions from (i) and (v) on the basis of
same.
Newton’s further studied Galileo ideas on force and motion and presented three
fundamental laws that govern the motion of objects. These three laws are known as
Newton’s laws of motion. The first law of motion is stated as: An object remains in a state
of rest or of uniform in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied
force.
i) What laws implies in it?
a) First laws of motion
b) Second laws of motion
c) Third laws of motion
d) Laws of conservation of momentum
ii) Second laws of motion states that,
a) Total momentum before the collision is equal to total momentum after collision.
b) An object continues to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight
line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
c) The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied
unbalanced force in the direction of the force
d) To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
iii) Second laws of motion describes
a) Inertia
b) Velocity
c) Momentum
d) Acceleration
iv) What is the SI unit of Force?
a) m/s

v) Recoil velocity of gun is ______________the velocity of bullet.
a) Smaller
b) Larger
c) Sometimes smaller or some larger
d) Can’t say
10. Read the paragraph and answer the any four questions from (i) and (v) on the basis of
same.

Every cell has a membrane around it to keep its own contents separate from the external
environment. Large and complex cells, including cells from multicellular organisms need a lot
of chemical activities to support their complicated structure and function.
Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called
organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell.

i) Match the following with correct response:

1. Lysosomes a. Synthesize protein

2. Rough Endoplasmic reticulum b. Brain of the cell
3. Golgi bodies c. Packaging and dispatching unit
of cell
4. Nucleus d. Suicidal bag of the cell

a) 1-B, 2-D, 3- A, 4-C

b) 1-C, 2-B, 3- D, 4-A
c) 1-D, 2-A, 3- C, 4-B
d) 1-A, 2-C, 3- B, 4-D
ii) Which of the following cell organelles have their own DNA and ribosomes?
a) Plastid
b) Mitochondria
c) Plasma membrane
d) Both a and b
iii) Which of following statement is not correct?
a) Plasma membrane is composed of cellulose in case of both plant cell and animal
cell.
b) Chromosomes are present in animal only
c) Nucleus controls all the metabolic activities of cell.
d) DNA is the genetic materials of various living organism.
