- A.
  
  Newton
- B.
  
  CV Raman
- C.
  
  Einstein
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
C. Einstein

Explanation
The correct answer is Einstein because he made the famous statement that "time is what a clock reads." This statement reflects Einstein's theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of time and space. According to Einstein, time is not an absolute concept but is relative to the observer's frame of reference. This means that time can be experienced differently depending on factors such as gravity and velocity. Einstein's theory has had a profound impact on the field of physics and has been confirmed by numerous experiments and observations.

Optical fibers are based on -
- A.
  
  Total internal reflection
- B.
  
  Refraction
- C.
  
  Dispersion
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
A. Total internal reflection

Explanation
Optical fibers are based on total internal reflection. This phenomenon occurs when light traveling through a medium with a higher refractive index encounters a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. Instead of refracting out of the medium, the light is reflected back into it. This principle is utilized in optical fibers to guide and transmit light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal strength.

The dimensions of a/b in the relation F= ax + bt are
- A.
  
  LT^-1
- B.
  
  L^-1T
- C.
  
  LT
- D.
  
  L^-1T^-1
Correct Answer
B. L^-1T

Explanation
The dimensions of a/b in the relation F = ax + bt can be determined by analyzing the units of each term in the equation. The term ax represents a distance (L) multiplied by a force (LT-2), resulting in a force (LT-1). Similarly, the term bt represents a time (T) multiplied by a force (LT-2), resulting in a force (LT-1). Therefore, when we divide a/b, the dimensions cancel out and we are left with a dimension of L-1T.

When a screw gauge is completely closed, zero of circular scale is 4 divisions below the reference line of graduation. If least count of screw gauge is 0.001 cm, the zero correction is -
- A.
  
  - 0.004 cm
- B.
  
  + 0.004 cm
- C.
  
  - 0.004 mm
- D.
  
  + 0.004 mm
Correct Answer
A. - 0.004 cm

Explanation
The zero of the circular scale being 4 divisions below the reference line means that the screw gauge is not properly calibrated. The least count of the screw gauge is 0.001 cm, which means that each division of the circular scale represents 0.001 cm. Since the zero is 4 divisions below the reference line, the zero correction would be 4 divisions multiplied by the least count, which is 4 * 0.001 cm = 0.004 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is - 0.004 cm.

What is percentage of error in the measurment of time period of a pendulum if maximum error in the measurment of l and g are 2% and 4% respectively?
- A.
  
  6%
- B.
  
  4%
- C.
  
  3%
- D.
  
  5%
Correct Answer
C. 3%

Explanation
The percentage of error in the measurement of the time period of a pendulum can be calculated by taking into account the maximum errors in the measurement of l (length of the pendulum) and g (acceleration due to gravity). Since the maximum error in the measurement of l is 2% and the maximum error in the measurement of g is 4%, the total error can be calculated as the sum of the individual errors, which is 2% + 4% = 6%. To calculate the percentage of error in the time period, we divide the total error by the sum of l and g, which is 6% / 200% = 3%. Therefore, the correct answer is 3%.

- B.
  
  Linear momentum
- C.
  
  Force
- D.
  
  Angular momentum
Correct Answer
B. Linear momentum

Explanation
The dimension of impulse is equal to that of linear momentum because both quantities are related to the change in momentum of an object. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object, which is equal to the product of the force applied to the object and the time interval over which the force is applied. Linear momentum, on the other hand, is a measure of the quantity of motion of an object and is equal to the product of the mass and velocity of the object. Since both impulse and linear momentum involve the change in momentum, their dimensions are the same.

  0.1 m
- B.
  
  1 M
- C.
  
  0.5 m
- D.
  
  1 m
Correct Answer
D. 1 m

Explanation
The molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. In this case, the solute is HCl gas and the solvent is water. To find the molality, we need to first calculate the number of moles of HCl gas. The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles of HCl gas is 18.25 g / 36.46 g/mol = 0.5 mol. Next, we need to calculate the mass of the water in kilograms, which is 500 g / 1000 = 0.5 kg. Finally, we can calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles of HCl gas by the mass of the water in kilograms: 0.5 mol / 0.5 kg = 1 m.

0.1 mole of carbohydrate with empirical formula CH₂O contains 1 g of hydrogen. What is its molecular formula?
- A.
  
  C₅H₁₀O₅
- B.
  
  C₆H₁₂O₆
- C.
  
  C₄H₈O₄
- D.
  
  C₃H₆O₃
Correct Answer
A. C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation
The empirical formula of the carbohydrate is CH2O, meaning it contains one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Since it is given that 1 gram of hydrogen is present, we can calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and compare it to the molar mass of the carbohydrate. The molar mass of hydrogen is approximately 1 g/mol, which means that 1 gram of hydrogen is equal to 1 mole of hydrogen atoms. Since there are 0.1 moles of the carbohydrate, the molar mass of the carbohydrate must be approximately 10 g/mol. By dividing the molar mass of the carbohydrate by the molar mass of the empirical formula (30 g/mol), we find that the molecular formula is C5H10O5.

  2 mol of HCl gas
- C.
  
  0.5 mol of HCl gas
- D.
  
  1.5 mol of HCl gas
Correct Answer
A. 1 mol of HCl gas

Explanation
When hydrogen gas (H2) and chlorine gas (Cl2) react, they form hydrogen chloride gas (HCl). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl

From the equation, it can be seen that for every 1 mole of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of hydrogen chloride gas are formed. Therefore, when 22.4 liters of H2 (which is 1 mole at STP) is mixed with 11.2 liters of Cl2 (which is also 1 mole at STP), the mole of HCl gas formed will be equal to 1 mole.

  Will decrease
- B.
  
  Will increase
- C.
  
  Remain same
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Will decrease

Explanation
As we move up the taxonomic hierarchy from species to kingdom, the number of common characteristics will decrease. This is because as we move up the hierarchy, we are grouping together more diverse organisms that share fewer common characteristics. At the species level, organisms are very similar and share many common characteristics. However, as we move up to higher taxonomic levels such as genus, family, order, class, phylum, and finally kingdom, the organisms become more diverse and share fewer common characteristics. Therefore, the number of common characteristics will decrease as we go from species to kingdom.

C. Study of ageing

Explanation
Gerontology is the study of ageing. It involves understanding the physical, psychological, and social aspects of the ageing process. Gerontologists examine the effects of ageing on individuals and society as a whole, including the changes that occur in the body, the impact on mental health, and the social implications of an ageing population. They also explore strategies to promote healthy ageing and improve the quality of life for older adults.

The life span of honey bee drone is
- A.
  
  3 - 4 months
- B.
  
  1 -2 months
- C.
  
  6 - 7 months
- D.
  
  10 - 12 months
Correct Answer
D. 10 - 12 months

Explanation
The correct answer is 10 - 12 months. Honey bee drones have a longer lifespan compared to worker bees. Drones are male bees whose main purpose is to mate with the queen. Once they have fulfilled their mating role, they die. However, during the mating season, drones can live for 10 - 12 months. This extended lifespan allows them to be available for mating opportunities throughout the season.

Biological concept of species is mainly based on -
- A.
  
  Morphology and methods of reproduction
- B.
  
  Methods of reproduction only
- C.
  
  Morphological features only
- D.
  
  Reproductive isolation
Correct Answer
D. Reproductive isolation

Explanation
The biological concept of species is mainly based on reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation refers to the barriers that prevent individuals from different populations or species from interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. This concept recognizes that species are distinct biological units that are reproductively isolated from one another. While morphology and methods of reproduction can also play a role in defining species, reproductive isolation is considered the primary factor in determining whether two populations or groups of organisms belong to the same species or not.

The 9 : 3 : 3: 1 dyhybrid ratio is due to -
- A.
  
  Segregation
- B.
  
  Crossing over
- C.
  
  Independent assortment
- D.
  
  Homologous pairing
Correct Answer
C. Independent assortment

Explanation
The 9:3:3:1 dihybrid ratio is due to independent assortment. Independent assortment is the principle that states that during gamete formation, the alleles for different traits segregate independently of one another. This means that the inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait. In this case, the 9:3:3:1 ratio indicates that the alleles for two different traits are segregating independently and combining randomly in the offspring.

A plant with green pods and smooth seeds with genotype Ggss will give rise to following gametes -
- A.
  
  Gg and Ss
- B.
  
  Gs and ss
- C.
  
  Gs and gs
- D.
  
  Gg and gs
Correct Answer
C. Gs and gs

Explanation
When considering the genotype Ggss, we can determine the possible gametes by separating the two alleles for each gene. In this case, the plant has one allele for green pods (G) and one allele for smooth seeds (s). The possible combinations for these alleles are Gs and gs. Therefore, the correct answer is Gs and gs.

What is water potential for pure water ?
- A.
  
  1
- B.
  
  0
- C.
  
  2
- D.
  
  3
Correct Answer
B. 0

Explanation
Water potential is a measure of the potential energy of water to move from one place to another. Pure water has the highest water potential, which is defined as 0. This means that there is no resistance or solute potential in pure water, allowing it to freely move and diffuse. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.

Absorption of water by plant cells by surface attraction is called
- A.
  
  Diffusion
- B.
  
  Osmosis
- C.
  
  Imbibition
- D.
  
  Endosmosis
Correct Answer
C. Imbibition

Explanation
Imbibition is the correct answer because it refers to the process of absorption of water by plant cells due to surface attraction. During imbibition, water molecules are attracted to the cell walls and other surfaces within the plant cells, causing them to be absorbed. This process is important for the hydration and functioning of plant cells. Diffusion refers to the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, and endosmosis refers to the inward movement of water into a cell.

- A.
  
  RNA
- B.
  
  RNA and protein
- C.
  
  DNA
- D.
  
  Glucose
Correct Answer
C. DNA

Explanation
The synthesis phase in the cell cycle is called so because it is the phase where DNA synthesis takes place. During this phase, the cell replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material. Therefore, the correct answer is DNA.

  Inherited bodies
- B.
  
  Twisted threads
- C.
  
  Coloured bodies
- D.
  
  Shining bodies
Correct Answer
C. Coloured bodies

Explanation
The term "chromosome" literally means "coloured bodies". This refers to the fact that chromosomes can be stained and observed under a microscope, where they appear as distinct, colored structures. The coloration allows scientists to study and analyze the structure and behavior of chromosomes, which play a crucial role in the inheritance of genetic information.

  Nuclear membrane is formed
- B.
  
  Nucleolus appear
- C.
  
  Astral rays disappear
- D.
  
  All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of these

Explanation
During telophase, which is the final stage of mitosis, several important events occur. The nuclear membrane reforms around the separated sets of chromosomes, enclosing them within individual nuclei. The nucleolus, which was dispersed during earlier stages of mitosis, reappears within the newly formed nuclei. Additionally, the astral rays, which are microtubules that help position the spindle apparatus during cell division, disappear. Therefore, all of the given options are correct as they accurately describe the events that take place during telophase.

Cell component visible only during cell division
- A.
  
  Mitochondria
- B.
  
  Chloroplast
- C.
  
  Chromosome
- D.
  
  Chromatin
Correct Answer
C. Chromosome

Explanation
Chromosomes are visible only during cell division. They are structures made up of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. During cell division, chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope. They play a crucial role in the accurate distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells. Outside of cell division, chromosomes are not visible as they are in a less condensed state called chromatin. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles involved in energy production and are visible throughout the cell cycle.
