`Q = A epsi sigma T^(4) t`
or ` (Q)/(t) prop AT^(4)`
`(Q)/(t) prop r^(2) T^(4) " " (because A = 4 pi r^(2))`
`therefore (Q_(1))/(Q_(2)) = ((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2) ((T_(1))/(T_(2)))^(4)`
`= ((8)/(2))^(2) [ (273 + 127)/(273 + 527)]^(4) = 1`

`= (1)/(2) [ ((0.5)^(2) - (0.1)^(2))/(48 xx 10^(-6))]`
`= (1)/(2)[ (0.25 - 0.01)/(48 xx 10^(-6))]`
`= (1)/(2) [(0.24)/(48 xx 10^(-6))]`
`= (1)/(2) [ (10^(4))/(2)]`
= 2500 J

`Ce^(4+)` is stable . This is because ofA. half-filled d-orbitalsB. all paired electrons in d-orbitalsC. empty orbitalD. fully filled d-orbital

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The electronic configuration of Ce is
`Ce_(58) = [Xe] 4 f^(1) 5d^(1) 6s^(2)` (predicted)
or = `[Xe] 4f^(2) 5d^(0) 6s^(2) `(observed)
`Ce^(4+) = [Xe] 4 f^(0) 5d^(0) 6s^(0)`
Since , in +4 oxidation state , all (ie, 4f , 5d and 6s) orbitals are empty and Ce gains the stable configuration of nearest inert gas , `Ce^(4+)` is most stable .

Again , differentiating , we get
`2 + 2 [y ""(d^(2) y)/(dx^2) + ((dy)/(dx))^(2)]`= 0
`iimplies y""(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2)) + ((dy)/(dx))^(2) + 1 = 0`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Given differential equation is
`y (1 + log x ) (dx)/(dy) - x log x = 0`
`implies int (1 + log x)/(x log x ) dx = int (dy)/(y)`
`implies int (1)/(x log x ) dx + int (1)/(x) dx = int (1)/(y) dy`
`implies log (log x) + log x = log y + log c `
`implies x log x= y c`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given , `x^(2) y^(2) = (x + y)^(7)`
Taking log on both sides , we get
2 log x + 5 log y = 7 log ( x + y)
On differentiating , we get
`(2)/(x) + (5)/(y) (dy)/(dx) = (7 )/( x + y) = ( 1 + (dy)/(dx))`
`implies (dy)/(dx) ((7)/(x+y) - (5)/(y)) = (2)/(x) - (7)/(x + y)`
`implies (dy)/(dx) = (y)/(x) " " .... (i)`
Again , differentiating , we get
`(d^(2) y)/(dx^(2)) = ( x ""(dy)/(dx) - y)/(x^(2))`
` = (x * (y //x) - y)/(x^(2)) `[ from Eq. (i) ]
= 0

`underset(x to 0)("lim") ((3^(x) - 1) (5^(x) - 1))/(1-1 + 2 sin^(2) x)`
`= underset(x to 0) ("lim") ((3^(x) - 1)/(x)) ((5^(x) - 1)/(x)) ((x^(2))/(2 sin^(2) x))`
`= (1)/(2) (log 3) (log 5) * 1`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
For continuity in `[-pi , pi]` , we must have
At `x = - ""(pi)/(2) , f (-""(pi)/(2)) = underset(x to (-""(pi)/(2))^(-)) ("lim") (-2 sin x )`
`= underset( x to (-""(pi)/(2))^(+)) (a sin x + b)`
`implies 2 = - a + b " " … (i) `
At `x = pi/2 ,`
`f((pi)/(2)) = underset(x to ((pi)/(2))^(-)) ("lim") ( asin x + b) = underset( x to ((pi)/(2))^(+)) ("lim") cos x`
`implies 0 = a + b " " .... (ii)`
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get , `a = -1 , b = 1`

The position vectors of vertices of a `DeltaABC` are `4hati - 2 hatj , hati + 4hatj - 3hatk` and `-hati + 5hatj + hatk` respectively , then `angleABC` is equal toA. `(pi)/(6)`B. `(pi)/(4)`C. `(pi)/(3)`D. `(pi)/(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Here , `vec(AB) = - 3hati + 6hatj - 3hatk , vec(BC) = - 2hati + hatj + 4 hatk `
and `vec(AB ) * vec(BC) = 6 + 6 - 12 = 0`
`implies angle ABC = (pi)/(2)`

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area enclosed between the curve `y^(2)=4x,x=4` and x = 5 about X-axis is (in cubic units)A. `18 pi`B. `36 pi`C. `9 pi`D. `24 pi`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Volume of the solid `= int_(4)^(5) pi y^2 dx`
`= pi int_(4)^(5) 4x dx`
`= 4pi [ (x^(2))/(2)]^(5)`
`= 2x (25-16)`
`= 18 pi` cu unit

When a resistance of 100`Omega` is connected in series with a galvanometer of resistance R, then its range is V. To double its range, a resistance of 1000`Omega` is connected in series. Find the value of R.A. `700 Omega`B. `800 Omega`C. `900 Omega`D. `100 Omega`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
When a resistance of `100 Omega` is connected in series current , i= `(V)/(100 + R) " " …. (i)`
when a resistance of `1000 Omega` is connected in series , the its range double
current , `I = (2V)/(1100 + R) " " …. (ii)`
From Eqs.(i) and (ii)
`(V)/(100 + R) = (2V) / (1100 +R)`
`R = 900 Omega`
