One mole of monoatomic gas is taken through cyclic process shown below `T_(A)=300` K.Process AB is defined as PT=constant. A. Work done in process AB is `-400` R.B. Change in internal energy in process CA is 900 R.C. Heat transferred in the process BC is 2000R.D. Change in internal energy in process CA is -900 R.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
(A) Process AB: `PT=const. Rightarrow nRT^(2)=const`
`W=undersetAoversetBintPdV=undersetAoversetBint(const)/T dv Rightarrow(dV)/(dT)=(2nRT)/(const.)`
`W=underset300overset100int(const.)/T.(2nRT)/(const.) dt Rightarrow (P_(A))/P_(B)=T_(B)/T_(A) Rightarrow 1/3=T_(B)/T_(A)`
`Rightarrow T_(B)=300/3=100 RightarrowW=2nR(100-300) RightarrowW_(AB)=-400` nR
(B)Process CA: Isochoric P//Tconst:`T_(A)//T_(C)=P_(A)//P_(C)`
`T_(A)//T_(C)=P_(A)//P_(B) RightarrowT_(A)//T_(C)=1//3RightarrowT_(C)=3T_(A)`
`T_(C)=900R RightarrowDeltaU=nC_(v)DeltaT`
`=(1) 3/2Rxx(T_(A)-T_(C))=3/2Rxx(300-900)=3/2Rxx-600=-900R Rightarrow|DeltaU|=(900R)`
(C) Process BC: Isobaric
`Q=nC_(P)DeltaT RightarrowQ=(1) 5/2Rxx(T_(C)-T_(B))`
`Q=5/2Rxx(900-100)Rightarrow Q=5/2Rxx800 RightarrowQ=2000R`

For a cell, the terminal potential difference is `2.2 V`, when circuit is open and reduces to `1.8 V `. When cell is connected to a resistance `R=5Omega`, the internal resistance of cell `(R)` isA. `(10)/(9) Omega`B. `(9)/(10) Omega`C. `(11)/(9) Omega`D. `(5)/(9) Omega`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In an open circuit, emd of cell
`E = 2.2 V`
In a closed circuit terminal potential difference
`V =1.8 V`
External resistance, `R = 5 Omega`
Thus, internal resistance of cell is
`r = ((E)/(V) -1) R = ((2.2)/(1.8)-1)5`
`=((11)/(9)-1)5=(2)/(9)xx5 =(10)/(9)Omega`.

Which of the following is the square root of 21316?1. 1542. 1363. 1464. 134

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 146

Concept used:

We can get the square root by prime factorization method

Calculation:

21316 = 2 × 2 × 73 × 73

21316 = 22 × 732

⇒ 21316 = (2 × 73)2

⇒ 21316 = 1462

∴ The square root of 21316 is 146

If the product of two numbers is 60 and the sum of their squares is 169, then what is the sum of these two numbers?1. 172. 153. 194. 13

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 17

Given:

Product of two numbers = 60

Sum of the squares of the two numbers = 169

Formula used:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Calculation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Then, according to the question:

xy = 60     ----eq.(1)

x2 + y2 = 169     ----eq.(2)

Also, (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy

⇒ (x + y)2 = 169 + (2 × 60); From eq.1 and eq.2

⇒ (x + y)2 = 289

⇒ x + y = 17

∴ Sum of the two numbers = 17

44.

Square root of which of the following numbers will be an irrational number?1. 42352. 72253. 84644. 3136

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4235

EXPLANATION:

√7225 = 5 × 5 × 17 × 17 = 85 

√8464 = 4 × 4 × 23 × 23 = 92

√3136 = 4 × 4 × 14 × 14 = 56

4235 = 5 × 7 × 11 × 11

∴ Square root of 4235 is irrational number

Let f : A → B, g : B → C be bijections. Then prove that (gof)–1 = f–1og–1.

Answer»

f : A → B, g : B → C are bijections

⇒ gof : A → C is a bijection

Also g–1 : C → B and f–1 : B → A are bijections

⇒ f –1og–1 : C → A is a bijection.

Let c be any element of C.

Then ∃ an element b ∈ B such that g(b) = c

⇒ b = g–1(c)

Also ∃ an element a ∈ A such that f(a) = b

⇒ a = f–1 (b)

Now (gof) (a) = g(f(a)) = g(b) = c

⇒ a = (gof)–1 (c) ⇒ (gof)–1 (c) = a ——— (1)

Also (f–1og–1) (c) = f–1(g–1(c)) =f–1(b) = a ——— (2)

∴ From (1) and (2); (gof)–1(c)

= (f–1og–1) ( c)

⇒ (gof)–1 = f–1og–1.

In the figure, line l || line m and line p || line q. Find the measures of ∠a, ∠b, ∠c and ∠d.

Answer»

i. line l|| line m and line p is a transversal. 

∴m∠a = 78° …(i) [Corresponding angles]

ii. line p || line q and line m is a transversal. 

∴m∠d = m∠a …[Corresponding angles] 

∴m∠d = 78° …(ii)[From (i)]

iii. m∠b = m∠d …[Vertically opposite angles] 

∴m∠b = 78° …[From (ii)]

iv. line l|| line m and line q is a transversal. 

∴m∠c + m∠d = 180° …[Interior angles]

∴m∠c + 78° = 180° … [From (ii)] 

∴m∠c =180° – 78° 

∴m∠c = 102° 

∴m∠a = 78°, m∠b = 78°, m∠c = 102°, m∠d = 78°
