SECTION−III
Linked Comprehension Type
This section contains 2 paragraphs. Based upon the first paragraph 3 multiple choice
questions and based upon the second paragraph 2 multiple choice questions have to be
answered. Each of these questions has four choices A), B), C), D) out of which ONLY
ONE is correct.
Paragraph for Questions 14 to 16
Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several
countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite (CuSO4 5H2O), atacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3), cuprite
(Cu2O), copper glance (Cu2S) and malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3). However, 80% of the world copper
production comes from the ore chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite
involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.
14. Partial roasting of chalcopyrite produces

(A) Cu2S and FeO (B) Cu2O and FeO
(C) CuS and Fe2O3 (D) Cu2O and Fe2O3
14. (B)
15. Iron is removed from chalcopyrite as

(A) FeO (B) FeS
(C) Fe2O3 (D) FeSiO3
15. (D)
16. In self-reduction, the reducing species is

(A) S (B) O2–
(C) S2– (D) SO2
16. (C)

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than
the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes
such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance. A simple model for such
a concentration cell involving a metal M is:
M(s) | M+ (aq; 0.05 molar) ||M+ (aq; 1 molar) | M(s)
For the above electrolytic cell the magnitude of the cell potential |Ecell| = 70 mV.
17. For the above cell

(A) Ecell < 0; ΔG > 0 (B) Ecell > 0; ΔG < 0
(C) Ecell < 0; ΔG° > 0 (D) Ecell > 0; ΔG° < 0
17. (B)
Ecell = –0.0591 log 0.05 = +ve as Ecell is +ve so ΔG is less than zero.
18. If the 0.05 molar solution of M+ is replaced by a 0.0025 molar M+ solution, then the
magnitude of the cell potential would be
(A) 35 mV (B) 70mV
(C) 140mV (D) 700 mV
18. (C)
As –0.0591 log 0.05 = 70 mV
∴ –0.0591 log 0.0025 = 140 mV

Then which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

(A) f ″(x) exists for all x ∈ (0, ∞)
(B) f ′(x) exists for all x ∈ (0, ∞) and f′ is continuous on (0, ∞), but not differentiable on
(0, ∞)
(C) there exists α > 1 such that f ′(x ) < f (x ) for all x ∈ (α, ∞)

0
1 + sin t dt ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ (0, ∞)
And ln x > 0 ∀ x ∈ (1, ∞)

ONE is correct.

Let p be an odd prime number and Tp be the following set of 2 × 2 matrices:
⎧ ⎡a b ⎤ ⎫
Tp = ⎨A = ⎢ ⎥ : a , b, c ∈ {0,1, 2 ,..., p − 1}⎬
⎩ ⎣c a ⎦ ⎭
42. The number of A in Tp such that A is either symmetric or skew-symmetric or both, and det
(A) divisible by p is
(A) (p – 1)2 (B) 2(p – 1)
(C) (p – 1)2 + 1 (D) 2p – 1
42. (D)
If A is symmetric then det(A) = a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)
As it is divisible by p
⇒ either (a – b) = λ1p or (a + b) = λ2p
⇒ a = b or a + b = p
hence a = b has p number of solution
and a + b = p has (p – 1) number of solution
Total solution = 2p – 1.
43. The number of A in Tp such that the trace of A is not divisible by p but det (A) is divisible
by p is
[Note: The trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal entries.]
(A) (p –1)(p2 – p + 1) (B) p3 – (p – 1)2
(C) (p – 1)2 (D) (p – 1)(p2 – 2)
43. (C)
For the ordered pair (b, c) we have total (p – 1)2 choices.
(p − 1) 2
In choices there exists exactly two values of a for which (a2 – bc) is a multiple of
2
(p − 1) 2
p, and for remaining choices there exists no value of a for which (a2 – bc) is a
2
multiple of p.
Hence total no. of choices for the triplet (a, b, c) such that a ≠ 0 and a2 – bc is multiple of
(p − 1) 2
p, is × 2 = (p − 1) 2 .

44. The number of A in Tp such that det (A) is not divisible by p is

(A) 2p2 (B) p3 – 5p
3
(C) p – 3p (D) p3 – p2
44. (D)
Total no. of matrices = p3
total no. of matrices, whose det (A) is divisible by p but trace not zero = (p – 1)2
Total no. of matrices having trace zero and whose det(A) is divisible by p = 2p – 1
As trace (A) = 0
⇒ 2a = 0 ⇒ a = 0
now a2 – bc = λp
⇒ –bc = λp
⇒ bc = 0
⇒ b = 0 or c = 0
Note for b = 0, c has p choices (namely 0, 1, 2, … p-1)
Similarly for c = 0, b has the choices 1, 2, …., p − 1.
Total choices for b & c = p + p – 1 = 2p – 1
Hence, total number of required matrices
p3 – (p – 1)2 – (2p – 1) = p3 – p2

The circle x2 + y2 – 8x = 0 and hyperbola − = 1 intersect at the points A and B.

45. Equation of a common tangent with positive slope to the circle as well as to the hyperbola
is
(A) 2x – 5 y – 20 = 0 (B) 2x – 5 y + 4 = 0
(C) 3x – 4y + 8 = 0 (D) 4x – 3y + 4 = 0
45. (B)
Let the tangent be
(x − 4) cos θ + y sin θ = 4
⇒ y = − cot θ(x − 4 ) + 4 cos ecθ
⇒ y = (− cot θ)x + 4(cot θ + cos ecθ )
Now, c2 = a2m2 − b2
⇒ 16(cotθ + cosecθ)2 = 9cot2θ − 4
⇒ 16(cosθ + 1)2 = 9cos2θ − 4sin2θ= 13cos2θ − 4
2
⇒ 3cos2θ + 32cosθ + 20 = 0 ⇒ cosθ = −

2
So, slope = − cot θ =

3
⇒ cosecθ =
5
So, equation of tangent is
2
y= (x − 4) + 12
5 5
⇒ 2x − 5 y + 4 = 0
46. Equation of the circle with AB as its diameter is

(A) x2 + y2 – 12x + 24 = 0 (B) x2 + y2 + 12x + 24 = 0
2 2
(C) x + y + 24x – 12 = 0 (D) x2 + y2 – 24x – 12 = 0
46. (A)
x 2 y2
Solving x2 + y2 − 8x = 0 and − =1
9 4
4 2
⇒ x2 + x − 4 − 8x = 0
9
13 2
⇒ x − 8x − 4 = 0

⇒ x= 9 = 3 =6
⎛ 13 ⎞ 13
⎜ ⎟
⎝9⎠ 9
So, y = ± 8x − x 2 = ±2 3
So, A and B are (6, ± 2 3 )
O 3 4 6
Centre of circle is the mid point of AB, which is (6, 0) and radius = 2 3 , so its equation is
(x − 6)2 + y2 = 12
⇒ x2 + y2 − 12x + 24 = 0

ω = cos + i sin , so ω3 = 1 and 1 + ω + ω2 = 0.

z +1 ω ω2
ω z + ω2 1 =0
ω2 1 z+ω
⇒ (z + 1) (z2 − z) − ω(zω) + ω2(−zω2) = 0
⇒ z3 −z − zω2 − zω = 0
⇒ z3 = 0 ⇒ z = 0
So number of distinct solution is 1.

the form V(x) = kx , it performs simple harmonic motion. The

corresponding time period is proportional to , as can be seen

easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a

on both sides of x = 0 in a way different from kx2 and its total X0
energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity.
Consider a particle of mass m moving on the x-axis. Its potential

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as TC (B)
superconductors, changes abruptly from a non zero
value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a TC (0)
critical temperature TC(0). An interesting property of
superconductors is that their critical temperature
becomes smaller than TC(0) if they are placed in a
magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC(B) is a
function of the magnetic field strength B. The O B
dependence of TC(B) on B is shown in the figure.
73. In the graphs below, the resistance R of a superconductor is shown as a function of its
temperature T for two different magnetic fields B1 (solid line) and B2 (dashed line). If B2
is larger than B1, which of the following graphs shows the correct variation of R with T in
these fields?

a 1 + (a 1 + d ) + (a 1 + 2d ) + ...... + (a1 + 10d )

44. A hollow pipe of length 0.8 m is closed at one end. At its open end a 0.5 m long uniform
string is vibrating in its second harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency
of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is 50 N and the speed of sound is 320 ms–1, the mass
of the string is

Fundamental frequency for closed pipe =

f0 = 100 Hz.
And second harmonic for string

f0 =

∴ By putting f0 = 100 Hz, T = 50N, L = 0.5 M
∴ μ = 20 gram/meter.
∴mass of the string = μ l = 20 × 0.5
= 10 grams.

Paragraph for Question 50 to 52.
When liquid medicine of density ρ is to be put in the eye. It is done with the help of a
dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of
the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop
formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface
energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension
T when the radius of the drop is R. When this force becomes smaller than the weight of
the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
50. If the radius of the opening of the dropper is r, the vertical force due to the surface tension
on the drop of radius R (assuming r << R) is

Paragraph for question 53 to 55

The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of
angular-momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to
a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule
assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
53. A diatomic molecule has moment of inertia I. By Bohr's quantization condition its rotation
energy in the nth level (n = 0 is not allowed) is
