The density of ice and water are respectively gcm−3\mathrm{gc}{\mathrm{m}^{ - 3}} . If m gram of ice melts , then change in its volume is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
my−mx\frac{m}{y} - \frac{m}{x}
Option C (my−mx\frac{m}{y} - \frac{m}{x}) is correct because it calculates the change in volume by subtracting the volume of ice from the volume of water after melting.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other· is labelled as Reason
(R).
Assertion (A) : Clothes containing oil or grease
stains cannot be cleaned by water wash.
Reason (R) : Because the angle of contact
between the oil/ grease and water is obtuse.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
correct answer from the option given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct
explanation of (A)
Option A (Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because oil and grease are non-polar substances, and water is a polar substance. The obtuse angle of contact indicates poor wetting, preventing water from effectively cleaning the stains.

A good lubricant should have
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
High viscosity
Option A (High viscosity) is correct because a good lubricant needs high viscosity to maintain a thick film between moving parts and prevent wear.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
14

An open water tank is placed on a platform of height 16 m16 {~m} from ground. Height of water in tank is 12 m12 {~m} from its base and it is filled completely with water. Height of a small hole, from ground which should be made on wall of container so that water strikes at maximum distance from base of platform on ground is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
16 m16 {~m}
Option D (16 m) is correct because the maximum range is achieved when the hole is at half the height of the water level above the point where the water lands, which in this case is the ground.

A: During takeoff of an aeroplane, velocity of air above the wing is greater than velocity below the wing
R: Bernoulli's principle is based on law of conservation of energy
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B is correct because both the Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason doesn't directly explain why the air velocity is greater above the wing during takeoff.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

I. An ice ball is floating in water. Some stone pieces are embedded inside the ice. When ice will melt, level of water will fall.

II. In floating condition, stone pieces will displace more liquid compared to the condition when they sink.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both I and II
Option C (Both I and II) is correct because both statements accurately describe the behavior of water level when ice with embedded stones melts.

Statement-1: When a soda water bottle falls freely from a height hh, the gas bubble rises in water from the bottom.
Statement-2: Air is lighter than liquid.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
Option D is correct. Statement-1 is false because the gas bubbles rise due to buoyancy even in free fall. Statement-2 is true because air is less dense than water.

Assertion: To empty an oil tank, two holes are made.
Reason: Oil will come out of two holes so it will be emptied faster.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true, but reason is false
Option C (assertion is true, but reason is false) is correct. Making two holes allows air to enter, replacing the oil, but the oil doesn't come out faster due to two holes.

A flow of liquid is streamline, if the Reynolds' number is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
less than 1000
Option A (less than 1000) is correct because a Reynolds number less than 1000 generally indicates laminar or streamline flow.

Two cylinders of same cross-sectional area A and lengthLL but made of two material of densitites ρ1{\rho _1} and ρ2{\rho _2} (in CGS units) are cemented together to form a cylinder of length2L2L. If the combination floats in water with a length L/2L/2 above the surface of water and ρ1<ρ2{\rho _1} < {\rho _2}, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
ρ1<3/4{\rho _1} < 3/4
The correct answer is B. By equating the weight of the combined cylinder to the buoyant force, we can derive the condition ρ1<3/4{\rho _1} < 3/4.

Coatings used on raincoat are waterproof because they
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A

Terminal velocity of a small sized spherical body having radius rr falling vertically in a viscous medium having coefficient of viscosity η\eta depends on radius of body and coefficient of viscosity as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both (2) &\& (3)
Option D (Both (2) & (3)) is correct because terminal velocity is directly proportional to the square of the radius (r2r^2) and inversely proportional to the coefficient of viscosity (η−1\eta^{-1}).

Find pressure on swimmer at a depth of 10 m in water
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
2 atm
Option A (2 atm) is correct because the total pressure at a depth of 10 m in water is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the water column, which equals approximately 2 atm.

Understanding +4 | -1
The coefficient of viscosity for hot air is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Greater than the coefficient of viscosity of cold air
Option A (Greater than the coefficient of viscosity of cold air) is correct because the viscosity of gases generally increases with temperature due to increased molecular motion and collisions.

A: At constant temperature, the elongation in a liquid surface does not obey Hooke's law
R: During increase in suface area, the liquid molecules initially present just below the surface will come on to the surface and this is not real elongation
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is true but R is false
Option A (v/2v/2) is correct because the terminal velocity depends on the radius and density, and the mass being the same affects the radius relationship.

The pressure on the top surface of an aeroplane wing was 0.90×105 Pa0.90 \times {10^5}\,Pa and at the bottom surface is 0.91×105 Pa.0.91 \times {10^5}\,Pa. If the area of each surface is 40 m2,40\,{m^2}, the net lift force on the wing is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
4×104 N4 \times {10^4}\,N
Option D (4×104 N4 \times {10^4}\,N) is correct because the net lift force is the product of the pressure difference and the area of the wing.

Assertion: The size of a hydrogen balloon increases as it rises in air.
Reason: The material of the balloon can be easily stretched.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion
Option B (If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because while both statements are true, the reason (material stretchability) doesn't fully explain why the balloon expands at higher altitudes. The primary reason is the decrease in external air pressure.
