(C) and (D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

Paragraph for Questions 14 to 15


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.
14. For the above cell
(A) Ecell < 0; ΔG > 0 (B) Ecell > 0; ΔG < 0 (C) Ecell < 0; ΔGº > 0 (D) Ecell > 0; ΔGº < 0

Paragraph for Questions 16 to 18
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.
16. Partial roasting of chalcopyrite produces
(A) Cu2S and FeO (B) Cu2O and FeO (C) CuS and Fe2O3 (D) Cu2O and Fe2O3

(A) (p – 1)2 (B) 2(p – 1) (C) (p – 1)2 + 1 (D) 2p – 1
Answer (D)

If A is skew-symmetric, |A| = –b2

∴ p |A| iff b = 0 in which case A is symmetric.

∴ p | A | if either p a + b or p a – b.

The second case occurs only when a = b which gives p choices. The first case again gives p choices with

and (D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

Paragraph for Questions 70 to 71


Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero
as their temperature is lowered below a 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 dependence of TC(B) on B is shown in the figure.

71. A superconductor has TC(0) = 100 K. When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied, its TC decreases to
75 K. For this material one can definitely say that when
(A) B = 5 Tesla, TC(B) = 80 K
(B) B = 5 Tesla, 75 K < TC(B) < 100 K
(C) B = 10 Tesla, 75 K < TC(B) < 100 K
(D) B = 10 Tesla, TC(B) = 70 K
Answer (B)
Hints :
As critical temperature decreases continuously, with increase in magnetic field,
For B = 5T; TC > 75 K but TC < 100 K
Correct answer is (B).

Paragraph for Questions 72 to 74
When a particle of mass m moves on the x-axis in a potential of the form V(x) = kx2, 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 particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of x = 0 in
a way different from kx2 and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle
of mass m moving on the x-axis. Its potential energy is V(x) = αx4 (α > 0) for | x | near the origin and becomes a
constant equal to V0 for |x| ≥ X0 (see figure).
