A cubic metre of water at $0^o$C is solidified into ice, density of ice is $0.96$ of water at $0^o$C. Which of the following deductions are true?
$1$. Water expands when solidified.
$2$. Ice will float in water at $0^o$C with half its volume above the surface.
$3$. Density of all liquids are higher than its density when solidified.

  1. $3$ only
  2. $2$ only
  3. $1$ only
  4. $1$ and $2$

C Correct answer
Explanation

When water freezes into ice, its density decreases, meaning its volume increases (it expands). This expansion is a unique property of water. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false because ice floats with about 90% of its volume submerged, not 50%. Statement 3 is false as a general rule.

A cubical block of wood of specific gravity $0.5$ and a chunk of concrete of specific gravity $2.5$ are fastened together. The ratio of mass of wood to the mass of concert which makes the combination to float with its entire volume submerged in water is 

  1. $1/5$
  2. $1/3$
  3. $3/5$
  4. $2/5$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let M_w be the mass of wood and M_c be the mass of concrete. For the combination to float completely submerged, total buoyant force equals total weight: (M_w + M_c)g = (V_w + V_c)rho_w g. Using volumes in terms of mass and specific gravities (0.5 and 2.5), we solve for the ratio of masses to get 3/5.

There are $n\ sets$ of real numbers. In every set there are four real numbers in AP. Such that the square of the last term is equal to the sum of the square of the first three terms. Then: -

  1. $N = 4$
  2. $N = 1000$
  3. $N = 10$
  4. $N \rightarrow \infty$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Let the terms of the AP be a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d (or standard a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d). Setting up the given condition that the square of the last term equals the sum of squares of the first three terms leads to a quadratic in terms of common difference or number of valid sets, which can be extended infinitely as parameters vary, yielding N -> infinity.

Four  positive charges $ ( 2 \sqrt 2-1 )Q $ are arranged at corner of square . another charge q is placed at the centre of the square. resultant force acting on each corner is zero if q is :

  1. $-7Q/4$
  2. $-4Q/ 7$
  3. $-Q$
  4. $none$

A Correct answer
Explanation

For the resultant force on each corner charge to be zero, the electrostatic force due to the central charge q must balance the repulsive forces from the other three corner charges. Calculating the vector components along the diagonal yields q = -7Q/4.

A public park, in the form of a square, has an area of $(100 \pm 0.2 )m^2 $ .The side of park is :

  1. $ (10 \pm 0.01 ) m $
  2. $ (10 \pm 0.1 ) m $
  3. $ (10 \pm 0.02 ) m $
  4. $ (10 \pm 0.2 ) m $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the side length of the square park is $l$.

The area of a square is given as,

$A = {l^2}$

$100 = {l^2}$

$l = 10\;{\rm{m}}$

The error in length is given as,

$\dfrac{{\Delta A}}{A} = 2\dfrac{{\Delta l}}{l}$

$\dfrac{{0.2}}{{100}} = 2\dfrac{{\Delta l}}{{10}}$

$\Delta l = 0.01\;{\rm{m}}$

Thus, the side of the park is $\left( {10 \pm 0.01} \right)\;{\rm{m}}$.
