3) By observation,

6)

Clearly, code is alphabets reverse position sum.

7) Similarly,

8) Reverse the letters after dividing the word into three parts.
So, answer is TSIDUBIRNOIT.

9)

According to this question, woman drawn water from will but 'Plateau' means will so answer
will Plateau.

10) Statement 1: book is thick Code Statement 1: si po re

Statement 2: bag is heavy Code Statement 2: ti na re
Statement 3: interesting book Code Statement 3: ka si
Statement 4: that bag Code Statement 4: de ti
In the 1st and 2nd statements, the common word is 'is' and the common code-word is 're'. So,
the code-word for 'is' is 're'.
In the 1st and 3rd statements, the common word is 'book' and the common code-word is 'si'.
Thus, the other code-word in the 3rd code statement; 'ka' means 'interesting'.
In the 2nd and 4th statements, the common word is 'bag' and the common code-word is 'ti'. So,
'ti' means 'bag'. Thus, the other code-word in the 4th code statement; 'de' means 'that'.
Thus, the codes for 'that', 'is' and 'interesting' are 'de', 're' and 'ka' respectively. So, any
combination of these three codes will be the required code.
Hence the answer is option 1.

11)

From column I and column II we can make a table

A → r
C → m
D → c
E → d
 I → b
N → n
R → p
T → s

NEAT → ndrs

12) 'cho' follows the similar pattern.

13) MENTAL = 390 ABILITY = 546

13 + 5 + 14 + 20 + 1 + 12 = 65 1 + 2 + 9 + 12 + 9 + 20 + 25 = 78
65 × 6 = 90 78 × 7 = 546
Sum of Alphabets × Number of alphabets
COMPETENCY = 3 + 15 + 13 + 16 + 5 + 20 + 5 + 14 + 3 + 25 = 119
119 × 10 = 1190

14) Similarly,

Physics

16)
First image (I1) will be 5cm away from the mirror, I.e. distance of first image = [Link]
image (I2) will be 10cm away from M1 but 25cm away from mirror [Link] image will be the
image of image I1 which is 20cm away from mirror M1 and 35cm away from M2.

18) For a fixed incident ray, if the mirror be rotated by an angle θ, the reflected ray turns by
an angle 2θ in the same direction.
Hence, the shift in angle between the initial reflected ray and final reflected ray is 36°,
anticlockwise.

19) v = ?, u = –6 cm, f = –12 cm

⇒
v = 12 cm
∵ v is positive therefore position of image is behind the mirror.
21) Magnification (m) =
where
f = focal length of mirror
u = 0.60 cm (object distance from pole)
m = +4

⇒4=

⇒4=
⇒ 4f + 2.4 = f
⇒ 3f = –2.4
⇒ f = –0.80 cm
Now, radius of curvature of the mirror is
R = 2f
= 2 × 0.80
R = 1.60 cm (concave).

22) The image formed by the plane mirror is of same size as of object.

So

23) The magnification of an image of an object placed at any position between the pole and
principal focus of a concave mirror is always greater than 1 in magnitude and it always forms a
magnified virtual image of an object placed between its pole and principal focus.

26) Let focal length of concave mirror = – f

Given u = – (f + d1)

∵ (mirror formula)

=
= 2f2 + fd1 + fd2 = f2 + fd1 + fd2 + d1d2
Solving we get
f=

27) Let magnification of object A be mA

∵ mA = .........(1)
Here = height of image of A.
= height of object of A.
vA = distance of A from mirror

Similarly mB = ........(2)
 from equation (1) and (2)

........(3)
Given =4
& =
f = – 10 cm, uA = – 50 cm
So from equation (3)

Solving we get uB = – 20 cm

30) u = –40 cm; f = –5cm,

Chemistry

31) Combustion process is always a chemical change.

33) Gases have tendency to rise up so evolution is represented by '↑'.

34) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

35) 2FeSO4 Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3

36) Process of respiration is exothermic, remaining all reactions are endothermic in nature.

37) Unbalanced equation does not follow the law of conservation of mass, in left hand side, 24
atoms of oxygen are there while in right hand side 26 atoms of oxygen are there.

38)

(II) Vaporisation of water - Physical change.

(IV) A bud turning into flower - Chemical change.
(V) Cutting of trees - Physical change.

39) Calcium oxide combines with water to form calcium hydroxide and this reaction is highly
 exothermic.

40) 2H2O → 2H2 + O2

The decomposition of water is called as electrolytic decomposition.

44) Change in state of matter is always a physical change.

Biology

54) Holozoic mode of nutrition is also known as ingestive nutrition.

55) Organism which live in/on the body of other organism and derives the nutrition from the
same is a –

58) Most of the photosynthesis (80%) which takes place on this earth is carried out by algae
present in ocean and fresh water sources

60) Mycorrhiza forms a symbiotic association with fungi, whereas Nepenthes supplements its
nutrition through insect capture.

Mathematics

67) Let the first number be x and second number be y such that x > y.
ATQ,
x–y=4 … (1)
x + y = 18 … (2)
Add eq. (1) and (2)
2x = 22
⇒ x = 11
∴ First number = x = 11
Put x = 11 in eq. (2)
11 + y = 18
y=7
Second number = 7
So, the numbers are 11, 7.

77)

Ratio of age of father & son = 7 : 3

x = 10
Present age of father = 7 × 10 = 70 years
 79)

x + 2y = 3
5x + ky = –7
for unique solution

k≠0

80) 4x + 3y = 24 … (1)
3y – 2x = 6 … (2)
From eq. (1), we get.
4x = 24 – 3y

⇒x= … (3)
Substituting the value of x in eq. (2), we get
3y – 2x = 6

3y – =6

⇒ =6

⇒ =6
⇒ 9y – 24 = 12
⇒ 9y = 36
⇒y=4

By putting y = 4 in eq. (3), we get x =

⇒x=

⇒x=

⇒x= =3
Hence, x = 3, y = 4
