- A.
½ times
- B.
4 times
- C.
2 times
- D.
Remains Same
Correct Answer
B. 4 timesExplanation
When a copper wire is stretched to double its length, its resistance increases by a factor of 4. This is because resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire. When the length is doubled, the resistance also doubles, resulting in a 4 times increase in resistance.Rate this question:

Magnetic field lines are always
- A.
Straight lines
- B.
Zigzag lines
- C.
Hyperbola
- D.
Closed loops
Correct Answer
D. Closed loopsExplanation
Magnetic field lines are always closed loops because they represent the continuous path that a magnetic field takes around a magnet or a current-carrying wire. The lines form closed loops because a magnetic field is a continuous and unbroken flow of magnetic force. This is consistent with the observation that magnetic field lines always form closed loops when visualized using iron filings or a magnetic compass. The closed loops indicate that the magnetic field is continuous and does not have any starting or ending points.Rate this question:

Lenz’s law is a consequence of the law of conservation of
- A.
Charge
- B.
Mass
- C.
Momentum
- D.
Energy
Correct Answer
D. EnergyExplanation
Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. It states that when a change in magnetic field occurs, an induced current is generated in such a way that it opposes the change that produced it. This is because the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the original change. This conservation of energy is evident in Lenz's law as the induced current works to counteract the change in magnetic field, thereby conserving the energy in the system.Rate this question:

Image formed by plane mirror
- A.
Must be real
- B.
Must be virtual
- C.
May be real or virtual
- D.
Information provided is not enough
Correct Answer
C. May be real or virtualExplanation
The image formed by a plane mirror can be either real or virtual. A real image is formed when the reflected rays actually converge at a point, while a virtual image is formed when the rays only appear to converge when extended backward. In the case of a plane mirror, the image formed is virtual, as the rays of light do not actually converge but appear to diverge from behind the mirror. However, it is important to note that the image appears to be behind the mirror and is not physically present. Therefore, the correct answer is "May be real or virtual."Rate this question:

An ion X2- contains 10 electrons and 8 neutrons. What are the atomic number and mass number of element X?
- A.
10, 18
- B.
8, 16
- C.
10,16
- D.
8,18
Correct Answer
B. 8, 16Explanation
The atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. Since the ion X2- contains 10 electrons, it means that there are 10 more electrons than protons. Therefore, the atomic number of element X is 10. The mass number of an element is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Given that the ion X2- contains 8 neutrons, the mass number of element X is 10 (protons) + 8 (neutrons) = 18.Rate this question:

In 2.495 gm of CuSO4.5H2O (Molar Mass= 249.5) , total number of atoms present are (1 NA = 6.022*1023)
- A.
0.01 NA
- B.
0.21 NA
- C.
21 NA
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. 0.21 NAExplanation
In 2.495 gm of CuSO4.5H2O, there are 5 water molecules (H2O), each containing 3 atoms (2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen). Therefore, there are a total of 5 x 3 = 15 atoms from water. Additionally, there is 1 copper atom (Cu), 1 sulfur atom (S), and 4 oxygen atoms (O) in CuSO4. So, the total number of atoms present is 15 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 21 atoms. Since 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms, 21 atoms is equivalent to 21/6.022 x 10^23 = 0.348 moles. And since 1 mole is equal to Avogadro's number (NA), the total number of atoms present is 0.348 NA, which is closest to 0.21 NA.Rate this question:

- A.
0.2
- B.
0.3
- C.
0.6
- D.
0.5
Correct Answer
C. 0.6Explanation
The positive square root of a number is the value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. In this case, the positive square root of 4 is 2 because 2 multiplied by 2 equals 4. Therefore, if the positive square root of 4 is 2, then the positive square root of 0.4 would be a value greater than 0.2 and less than 0.3. The only option that fits this criteria is 0.2, so the correct answer is 0.2.Rate this question:

There are deer and peacocks in a zoo. By counting heads they are 80. The number of their legs is 200. The number of peacocks in the zoo are
- A.
50
- B.
20
- C.
30
- D.
60
Correct Answer
D. 60Explanation
If we let x represent the number of deer and y represent the number of peacocks, we can set up a system of equations. From the information given, we know that x + y = 80 (since the total number of deer and peacocks is 80) and 4x + 2y = 200 (since each deer has 4 legs and each peacock has 2 legs). Solving this system of equations, we find that x = 20 and y = 60. Therefore, the number of peacocks in the zoo is 60.Rate this question:

A woman says, “If you reverse my own age, the figure represent my husband’s age. He is of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one - eleventh of their sum.” The woman’s age is
- A.
34
- B.
24
- C.
45
- D.
56
Correct Answer
C. 45Explanation
The woman's age can be determined by using the information given in the statement. If we reverse her age (54), it represents her husband's age. Since her husband is senior to her, her age must be less than 54. Additionally, the difference between their ages is one-eleventh of their sum. This means that the husband's age minus the woman's age is equal to one-eleventh of their sum. By solving this equation, we can find that the woman's age is 45.Rate this question:

- D.
105
Correct Answer
B. 45Explanation
When we multiply 5 √3 with √27, we can simplify it by multiplying the numbers outside the square roots (5 and 27) and the numbers inside the square roots (√3 and √27). Multiplying 5 and 27 gives us 135. Then, multiplying √3 and √27 gives us √(3 * 27) = √81 = 9. Therefore, the result of multiplying 5 √3 with √27 is 135 * 9 = 1215.

In a right ∆ ABC in which angle ABC = 90, AB = 1 cm and AC = 2 cm. The measure of angle ACB is
- A.
30 degrees
- B.
45 degrees
- C.
60 degrees
- D.
15 degrees
Correct Answer
A. 30 degreesExplanation
In a right triangle ABC, the right angle is at B. The length of side AB is given as 1 cm and the length of side AC is given as 2 cm. In a right triangle, the angles are always complementary, meaning they add up to 90 degrees. Since angle ABC is 90 degrees, the sum of angles BAC and ACB must also be 90 degrees. Therefore, angle ACB must be 90 - 60 = 30 degrees.Rate this question:

The difference between 20th term and 12th term of the AP : 2, 13, 24, 35, ... is
- A.
77
- B.
88
- C.
121
- D.
99
Correct Answer
B. 88Explanation
The given arithmetic progression (AP) has a common difference of 11. To find the difference between the 20th and 12th terms, we can subtract the 12th term from the 20th term. The 12th term can be found by adding 11 to the first term (2) twelve times. This gives us 2 + 11*12 = 2 + 132 = 134. The 20th term can be found by adding 11 to the first term (2) nineteen times. This gives us 2 + 11*19 = 2 + 209 = 211. Finally, subtracting the 12th term (134) from the 20th term (211) gives us 211 - 134 = 77. Therefore, the correct answer is 77.Rate this question:

(–3, –2)
- B.
(8, 2)
- C.
(2, 1)
- D.

The equation 3x - 4y = 10 represents a straight line on a coordinate plane. To determine which points lie on this line, we can substitute the x and y values of each point into the equation and see if the equation holds true. By substituting x = 2 and y = -1 into the equation, we get 3(2) - 4(-1) = 6 + 4 = 10, which satisfies the equation. Therefore, the point (2, -1) lies on the graph of the equation 3x - 4y = 10.Rate this question:

The length of an arc of a circle of radius 14 cm and having central angle as 45 degree is
- A.
11 cm
- B.
22 cm
- C.
28 cm
- D.
7 cm
Correct Answer
A. 11 cmExplanation
The length of an arc of a circle can be calculated using the formula L = (θ/360) * 2πr, where L is the length of the arc, θ is the central angle in degrees, and r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is given as 14 cm and the central angle is 45 degrees. Plugging these values into the formula, we get L = (45/360) * 2π(14) = (1/8) * 2π(14) = π cm ≈ 11 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 11 cm.Rate this question:

If the area of a triangle having (3, 2), (x, –4) and (5, 0) as coordinates of its vertices is 9 sq. units, then the value of x is
- A.
2
- B.
1
- C.
-1
Explanation
To find the value of x, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle given its coordinates. We know that the area is 9 sq. units. Using the formula, we can substitute the coordinates into the formula and solve for x. The formula for the area of a triangle with vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) is (1/2) * |x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2)|. Plugging in the coordinates, we get (1/2) * |3(-4 - 0) + x(0 - 2) + 5(2 - (-4))| = 9. Simplifying the equation, we get |12 - 2x + 30| = 18. Solving for x, we get x = 1.

If area of sector of a circle of radius 14 cm is 77 cm sq, then the central angle of the sector is
- A.
30 degrees
- B.
60 degrees
- C.
45 degrees
- D.
90 degrees
Correct Answer
C. 45 degreesExplanation
The area of a sector is given by the formula A = (θ/360)πr², where A is the area, θ is the central angle, and r is the radius. In this case, we are given that the area is 77 cm² and the radius is 14 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get 77 = (θ/360)π(14)². Solving for θ, we find that θ ≈ 45 degrees. Therefore, the central angle of the sector is 45 degrees.Rate this question:

The inability to see the nearby objects distinctly and comfortably, might be a symptom for
- A.
Myopia only
- B.
Hypermetropia only
- C.
Hypermetropia or presbyopia
- D.
Cataract or presbyopia
Correct Answer
C. Hypermetropia or presbyopiaExplanation
The inability to see nearby objects distinctly and comfortably can be a symptom of hypermetropia or presbyopia. Hypermetropia, also known as farsightedness, occurs when the eye is unable to focus on close objects due to the shape of the eye or the cornea being too flat. Presbyopia, on the other hand, is an age-related condition where the lens of the eye loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on nearby objects. Both conditions can result in blurred vision when looking at objects up close. Cataract, which is the clouding of the lens, and myopia, or nearsightedness, do not typically cause difficulty in seeing nearby objects.Rate this question:

If a concave mirror forms an enlarged image of a real object placed on principal axis, then the image
- A.
Must be real always
- B.
Can be either real or erect, not both
- C.
Can be either real or inverted, not both
- D.
Must always be virtual
Correct Answer
B. Can be either real or erect, not bothExplanation
If a concave mirror forms an enlarged image of a real object placed on the principal axis, the image can be either real or erect, but not both. A real image is formed when the light rays actually converge at a point, and it can be projected onto a screen. An erect image is one that is not inverted, meaning it appears in the same orientation as the object. In this case, the image can be either real (if the light rays converge) or erect (if the image is not inverted), but it cannot be both at the same time.Rate this question:

The colour of the scattered light in Tyndal effect mainly depends on
- A.
Time of the Sunset
- B.
Size of the scattering particles
- C.
Temperature of the atmosphere
- D.
Colour of the sunlight falling
Correct Answer
B. Size of the scattering particlesExplanation
The Tyndall effect refers to the scattering of light by particles in a medium. The size of the scattering particles is the main factor that determines the color of the scattered light. When the size of the particles is comparable to the wavelength of light, shorter wavelengths (such as blue and violet) are scattered more effectively than longer wavelengths (such as red and orange). This is why the sky appears blue during the day, as the smaller particles in the atmosphere scatter the shorter blue wavelengths more than the longer red wavelengths. Therefore, the size of the scattering particles is the primary factor affecting the color of the scattered light in the Tyndall effect.Rate this question:

The main cause of tidal energy is
- A.
Earthquakes originating in sea
- B.
Volcanoes near an ocean
- C.
Gravitational pull of Earth
- D.
Gravitational pull of Moon
Correct Answer
D. Gravitational pull of MoonExplanation
Tidal energy is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon. The Moon's gravitational force creates a tidal bulge on the Earth's oceans, causing them to rise and fall in a regular pattern. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the ocean experience high and low tides. This tidal movement can be harnessed to generate electricity through various technologies, such as tidal turbines. While earthquakes and volcanoes near the ocean can have some impact on tidal patterns, they are not the main cause of tidal energy.Rate this question:

A magnetic compass kept above a current carrying wire deflects towards west direction. The current in the wire is flowing from
- A.
North to South
- B.
South to North
- C.
West to East
- D.
East to West
Correct Answer
A. North to SouthExplanation
A magnetic compass aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which points from the geographic North Pole to the geographic South Pole. When a current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This magnetic field interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the compass needle to deflect. According to the right-hand rule, the magnetic field around the wire is in the direction of the fingers when the thumb points in the direction of the current. Therefore, the current in the wire must be flowing from North to South for the compass to deflect towards the west direction.Rate this question:
