A spread of 10 questions from the paper, chosen across the three subjects. The full paper is in the app.
Question 11
Physics · AtomsGiven below are two statements:
Statement I: Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges.
Statement II: Atoms of each element are stable and emit their characteristic spectrum.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Answer: C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Why: Statement I is correct: atoms are neutral. Statement II is incorrect as stated: classical atoms are not stable, and the characteristic spectrum comes from transitions between energy levels.
Question 27
Physics · Wave OpticsAn unpolarised light beam strikes a glass surface at Brewster's angle. Then
- A The reflected light will be partially polarised.
- B The refracted light will be completely polarised.
- C Both the reflected and refracted light will be completely polarised.
- D The reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.
Answer: D. The reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.
Why: At Brewster's angle the reflected light is completely plane-polarised. The refracted light is only partially polarised.
Question 57
Chemistry · Alcohols, Phenols and EthersWhich one of the following alcohols reacts instantaneously with Lucas reagent?
- A CH₃–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂OH
- B CH₃–CH₂–CH(OH)–CH₃
- C CH₃–CH(CH₃)–CH₂OH
- D CH₃–C(CH₃)(CH₃)–OH
Answer: D. CH₃–C(CH₃)(CH₃)–OH
Why: Lucas reagent (ZnCl₂ + conc. HCl) reacts instantly with tertiary alcohols, which form stable tertiary carbocations. Option 4 is the tertiary alcohol.
Question 75
Chemistry · D and F Block ElementsThe E° value for the Mn3+/Mn2+ couple is more positive than that of Cr3+/Cr2+ or Fe3+/Fe2+ due to change of
- A d5 to d4 configuration
- B d5 to d2 configuration
- C d4 to d5 configuration
- D d3 to d5 configuration
Answer: C. d4 to d5 configuration
Why: The Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ couple changes from d⁴ to d⁵. The half-filled d⁵ configuration is very stable, which makes the reduction of Mn³⁺ to Mn²⁺ favourable and the E° more positive.
Question 82
Chemistry · Coordination CompoundsGiven below are two statements :
Statement I: Both [Co(NH3)6]3+ and [CoF6]3– complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour.
Statement II: [Co(NH3)6]3+ is diamagnetic whereas [CoF6]3– is paramagnetic.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Why: [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ has Co³⁺ with strong-field NH₃ ligands, giving low spin and no unpaired electrons: diamagnetic. [CoF₆]³⁻ has weak-field F⁻ ligands, giving high spin and 4 unpaired electrons: paramagnetic. Both statements are true.
Question 146
Biology · Photosynthesis in Higher PlantsGiven below are two statements:
Statement I: In C3 plants, some O2 binds to RuBisCO, hence CO2 fixation is decreased.
Statement II: In C4 plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Why: Key-based: the statements are checked against the key's answer 3, with Statement I true and Statement II false. (Checked against key only.)
Question 154
Biology · Human ReproductionWhich of the following is not a component of Fallopian tube?
- A Uterine fundus
- B Isthmus
- C Infundibulum
- D Ampulla
Answer: A. Uterine fundus
Why: The uterine fundus is part of the uterus, not the Fallopian tube. The tube has the infundibulum, ampulla and isthmus.
Question 172
Biology · Reproductive HealthWhich of the following is not a natural/traditional contraceptive method?
- A Coitus interruptus
- B Periodic abstinence
- C Lactational amenorrhea
- D Vaults
Answer: D. Vaults
Why: Vaults are not a natural or traditional contraceptive method. The other options (coitus interruptus, periodic abstinence, lactational amenorrhoea) are.
Question 176
Biology · Breathing and Exchange of GasesWhich of the following factors are favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in alveoli?
- A High pO2 and High pCO2
- B High pO2 and Lesser H+ concentration
- C Low pCO2 and High H+ concentration
- D Low pCO2 and High temperature
Answer: B. High pO2 and Lesser H+ concentration
Why: Oxyhaemoglobin forms well when pO₂ is high, pCO₂ is low, and H⁺ concentration is low (high pH). Option 2 gives high pO₂ and lower H⁺.
Question 189
Biology · Excretory Products and Their EliminationChoose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.
- A Juxta medullary nephrons are located in the columns of Bertini.
- B Renal corpuscle of juxta medullary nephron lies in the outer portion of the renal medulla.
- C Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
- D Juxta medullary nephrons outnumber the cortical nephrons.
Answer: C. Loop of Henle of juxta medullary nephron runs deep into medulla.
Why: Juxta-medullary nephrons have long loops of Henle that penetrate deep into the medulla. This is the correct statement among the options.
