PHYSICS
1. Concave mirror is used as dentist mirror. Why? Support your answer with a 2
suitable ray diagram.
2. An object of height 4cm is placed in front of a concave mirror of focal length 3
20cm. If a real image is produced at 25cm from the mirror, find the position of
object and size of the image formed. What will happen to the size of the
image if the object is shifted to 40cm from the mirror?
3. There are two types of spherical mirrors- concave and convex. The spherical 5(5x1)
mirror forms different types of images when the object is placed at different
locations. The size of the image formed by a spherical mirror depends on the
position of the object from the mirror and the relative size of image to object
is given by linear magnification. Mirror formula gives the relation connecting
distance of an object from the mirror(u), distance of image from the mirror(v)
and the focal length(f).
(i)The distance between the pole and focal point of a spherical mirror is equal
to the distance between
(a) pole and centre of curvature (b) focus and centre of curvature
(c) pole and object (d) object and image
(ii)The normal at any point on the mirror passes through
(a) focus (b) pole
(c) centre of curvature (d) any point
(iii)If the magnification produced by a mirror is -3, the characteristics of the
image will be
(a) real, inverted and magnified (b) real, inverted and diminished
(c) virtual, erect and magnified (d) virtual , erect and diminished
(iv)What is the position of image when an object is placed at a distance 30cm
from a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30cm?
(a)at the centre of curvature (b) at the focus
(c) at infinity (d) between pole and principal focus
(v)Which of the following diagram is correct for the ray of light incident on the
mirror as shown in figure.

2. Two solutions A an B have pH 2 and 12 respectively. A is treated with methyl 1
orange while B with phenolphthalein. Which of the following option is correct
about the colour changes in them?

b) A remains colourless while B turns pink

c) A turns red while B turns yellow.

d) A turns red while B turns pink

3. Glucose solution does not conduct electricity but sulphuric acid does. The 1
reason is:
a) Glucose does not contain hydrogen
b) Glucose contains less hydrogen atoms as compared to sulphuric acid
c) Glucose is insoluble in water
d) Hydrogen atoms in glucose are not ionisable
4. Which of the following statements about the reaction below are incorrect? 1
ZnO + C Zn + CO
a) Zinc is getting reduced
b) Carbon monoxide is getting oxidised
c) Carbon is getting oxidised
d) Zinc oxide is getting reduced
(i) a and b
(ii) a and c
(iii) c and d
(iv) b and d
5. Read the following statements carefully. 1
Assertion (A) : Water has pH 7.
Reason (R) : Concentrations of H+ ions and OH- ions are equal in water.
a) A is true but R is false
b) A is false but R is true
 c) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
d) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

a) Crushed egg shells are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid
b) Gas released in the above reaction (a) is made to pass through lime
water.
c) Granulated zinc metal is treated with sodium hydroxide solution and
test tube is heated.

(a) Produce WBCs
(b) Produce hormones
(c) Destroy old RBCs
(d) Destroy pathogens

2. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct? 1

(c) (i) and (iv) (d) (ii) and (iii)

3. The image shows the movement of sucrose into phloem against the 1
concentration gradient which also leads to the movement of water
due to osmotic difference. This osmotic pressure allows movement of
material in plant body.

How the movement of sucrose into phloem takes place initially?

(a) with the help of transpiration
(b) with the help of water gradient
(c) with the help of ATP molecules
(d) with the help of ADP molecules
4. The image shows the healing of a wound 1

Based on the image, what explains the process?

(a) Platelets form clot by plugging the site of injury
(b) Platelets uses component of broken vessel to form clot
(c) Red blood cells divide and replace the broken vessel at the site of injury
(d) Red blood cells and platelets migrate to site of injury and secrete
substance that forms new vessel
5. Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is 1
followed by a statement of reason (R) . Mark the correct choice as:
a. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the
correct explanation of assertion (A)
b. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A)
c. Assertion (A) is true but reason(R) is false
d. Assertion (A) is false but reason(R) is true

Assertion: Rings of cartilage are present around trachea

Reason: These ensure that trachea does not collapse

6. (a) Given below is a highly schematic diagram of the human circulatory 2

system. Which part represents the heart? Give reason in support of your
answer.
