View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
25Q\frac{2}{5}Q

Statement-I: Monoatomic, diatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed such that compression ratio is (P2P1)\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right). Then monoatomic gas will have maximum final volume out of these three gases.
Statement-II: Monoatomic gas has least degree of freedom.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is true and statement-II is true
Statement-I is true because monoatomic gases have the highest adiabatic index, leading to the smallest volume change during adiabatic compression. Statement-II is true because monoatomic gases have the fewest degrees of freedom (3).

252 micro coulombs of charge is transferred between two points having a potential difference of 109 volt during an electric discharge. What mass of ice (at 00C)\left( {at\,\mathrm{ }{0^0}C} \right) would it melt if all the energy released could be used for the above purpose? (take mechanical equivalent of heat as 4.2 joule/calorie and latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/gm)

Correct option: B
0.75 kg
Option B (0.75 kg) is correct because the energy released during the electric discharge is used to melt the ice, and the mass of ice melted can be calculated using the latent heat of fusion.

Air in a cylinder is suddenly compressed by a piston, which is then maintained at the same position. With the passage of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
The pressure decreases
Option A (The pressure decreases) is correct because when air is suddenly compressed, the temperature increases. However, with the passage of time, the heat dissipates to the surroundings, and the temperature returns to the initial value. Since the volume is smaller, the pressure decreases to maintain thermal equilibrium.

Which of the following can not determine the state of a thermodynamic system
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Any one of pressure, volume or temperature

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
2×104J2 \times {10^4}J
The external work done is 2×104J2 \times {10^4}J because it is calculated using the formula W=PΔVW = P\Delta V, where P is the pressure and ΔV\Delta V is the change in volume.

A lead bullet of 10 g travelling at 300 m/s300\,m/s strikes against a block of wood and comes to rest. Assuming 50%50\% of heat is absorbed by the bullet, the increase in its temperature is (specific heat of lead =150J/kg,K)= 150J/kg,K)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
1500C{150^0}C
The kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into heat. Half of this heat is absorbed by the bullet, causing its temperature to rise. Using the formula Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T, we find the temperature increase to be 150°C.

Statement-1: The quantity of heat in a solid body determines its temperature.
Statement-2: Whenever heat is supplied to a solid body which is not undergoing phase change the temperature of the solid body increases.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Statement-1 is false because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules, not the quantity of heat. Statement-2 is true because adding heat to a solid generally increases its temperature unless a phase change is occurring.

Reason: PV=PV = constant for adiabatic process.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Option D (If both Assertion and Reason are incorrect) is correct because the P vs 1/V graph for an adiabatic process is NOT a straight line, and PV = constant is only true for an isothermal process, not adiabatic.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because the first law doesn't forbid processes that violate the second law, and the reason is true but doesn't explain the assertion.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at −273∘C- 273^\circ C temperature of cold reservoir.

Reason R: The efficiency of Carnot’s engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as η=(1−T2T1)\eta = \left( {1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} \right).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A
The correct answer is A because the efficiency of a reversible heat engine is highest at the lowest cold reservoir temperature, and the Carnot efficiency formula explicitly shows dependence on both hot and cold reservoir temperatures.
